The penalty count adding up already...

[Guest]

Two definite bombed tries (SKD's pass to Pearce, Carney's pass to Kouparitsas), a bad pass by Braith while on the attack followed by a Sammy Perrett error led to that last try against the run of play - horrible defensive commitment by Minichiello. Killed in the penalties again.

Yet we are by FAR the better team, and deserve to win by at LEAST 12 points.

Lets hope Smithy drums it into them about the past 2 games fade outs...

we might have been far and away the better team, but 12 points is no-where near enough of a lead, we have show absolutely no patience with ball in hand and if the passes don't continue to stick we will get done by 12-18 points.

it is great attacking football to watch but it is razzle dazzle gone too far, we need to find a balance between all out attack and a solid defensive performance.

Perrett - goose play.
This is an experienced international. Should have locked it up. He is first class heart attack material this bloke.

Are you serious? The guy's been great all half, he was in a bit of space, and got blindsided from behind, with a hand knocking the ball out.

No pleasing some people.

Tough to call those two definite bombed tries.

They were chances but hard ones. Koups copped a pretty ordinary pass as did Pearce.

We need to start going down the middle. Parra benefits from open football.

We need to stiffen up our defence on the edges...

For all our dominance we are only 12 in front. STAY FOCUSED BOYS!!!

Another lopsided penalty count against us.

I saw plenty of penalties that could've been given againt the Eels for holding down etc...for exactly the same things we were penalised for.
Look at all the penalties in a row awarded to Parramatta.

Baaah!

Typical...what's changed this week?
Answer: nothing.

Penrith led Eels 22/24-nil or something...until an avalanche of penaties to Parramatta saw them win the game.

When is the new Independent Commission starting up...I've had enough of the way things are now.

[bondi-boy]

That is so frustrating. Why you try to attack from in your own 20m with 30 sec to go on the clock is beyond me.

>>>>> >>>>>

Me too, you'd think they'd have learned that by now.
Also got no idea how to run the ball up the field after scoring a try.
They give the ball away time after time...dumb passes.

Perrett coughed up the ball with a stupid pass that was never on in the first half.

They score tries, then just do stupid things and give away as many if not more tries than they score.

Magnificent defence by Mini. Not many fullbacks can stop Hayne 1:1.

Rooster's best ever victory! (Gets on knees and bows down to Brian Smith)

I thought you were going onto something else there haha

[Guest]

With a bloke called BJ in the side, anything is possible.

5 in a row. Great win tonight, everyone played great. Mini needs to be given a contract for next year.

We should put 30+ on the Dragons if we stop the penalties.
