Eels v Roosters match discussion thread

[roosterchook]

We have NO-ONE but ourselves to blame. All Parras second half tries came from rooster dropped balls and penalties. This is a very poorly coached side. With all the possession, all we needed was to play safety first and not throw stupid passes and the game was ours.

[Headless Chook]

Unlucky to lose. Ref's get their bonus. No excuses nor apologies

Seriously? They had a back rower score two tries playing centre, lost their winger and their hooker in the first 20 mins! The refs had nothing to do with this.

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARKKK

[Thirteen]

The ruling of JWH knocking on was critical but we never were going to have a 50-50 go our way

JWH clearly lost that ball.

[Rooster brown]

Yeah so gutherson can touch the ball but we don't get it back great stuff bunker

[Bmw06i]

No excuses for loosing what the hell was that call by the bunker. They couldn't see the eels player touched the ball but the touch judge could and was over ruled. Let's get rid of all touch judges and referees and have the bunker run the game.

Pathetic that's how to describe nrl in 2016.

See you in 2017.

Friend and hastings were absolute rubbish
When u cant beat a basket case club like a parra...where does that leaves us? This side is worse than the bad uears of the 80's and 90's
They had 3 playets injured in the first hskf off the field and couldnt crack them.
Woeful stuff

[Headless Chook]

My take on our team at the moment. The following players need to be jettisoned.....Copley, Guerra, Friend, Hastings. The sooner the better. I have been happy to give Copley the benefit of the doubt but he just doesn't have it. Friend is terrible at the moment. He kicks for himself, he rarely makes a dominant tackle and he offers nothing in attack

[Bmw06i]

It's not about blaming he refs for the loose but gosh the game has gone downhill big time.
Let's go back to on field calls rather than idiot people who can even see what happens on 6 screens.

[Country Rooster]

Did Watson make it on the field

[infidelrooster]

Hastings offers nothing!

[Tommy Smith]

Can we sign Norman please?

3rd best half in the game.

[Cockadoodledoo]

Can't believe some idiots are having a go at Manu for not running hard. That chase ruined him, he had nothing left. It is only his second game in the top grade and he doesn't have the miles in his legs yet. It will come. By all means though Friend, Hastings and to a lesser extent Pearce just were unable to capitalise on our posession superiority. It was also criminal not getting Watson on much earlier and leaving the fat drunk Friend on for 80.

[ROC181]

Keary and Gordon aren't going to fix this rabble.

It's staggering how dumb we are.

We have good players badly led on field and of it.

[stringaz]

Friend was good for the first 20 and that was it. If ever a game to "bring on morts" in Connor Watson, this was it. Robbo puts him on (with friend) with 3 minutes 20 seconds to go.

You're killing me Robbo.

And Hastings is as ineffective as Jake.

I was glad to see better backline shifts without doorstop guerra and tinkerbell fergo.

Leave em in origin camp please.
