Round 7: Parramatta Eels v the Dolphins

Sorry can't see it happening. I think the forwards out muscle us and Fuller will get endless pressure. i see a loss how much depends on the effort.

Maybe I was being a bit too optimistic but without Moses, they lack attack.
 
Depends which Eels turn up.

I have seen a good team, and a woeful team this year from them.

They are due a woeful turn tonight I think/hope.
I saw a couple of their games and as a result, thought there is no way NQ would lose to them last week. It's not that they were really good against NQ, it's just that NQ are so inconsistent. On any given day could beat or lose to any team in the comp.
 
TBH, Bostock looks like he offers more than Averillo.
 
Niko needs to take a tackle. Stop with the low % tap-ons!
 
This ref is really annoying me. First with the no try and now with all these very harsh penalties.
 
Can't believe the no-try, the following penalty to put them on attack, the 6 again call to keep them on attack. All in 3 min.
 
Keely looks very impressive! Bends the line everytime he runs. I bet at some point tonight, he'll charge straight through the line.
 
Looking for Katoa, Niko and Fuller to start carving up in the last 20min.
 
Pretty good result to go in only 4 points down.

Can’t be too upset with 8-4 at HT - Parra has had all the territory and plenty of ball. Scrambling defence has been good but attack very clunky
 
Niko and Averillo have some work to do. A few bad passes from Niko early and if not for when he just stood looking at the loose ball, I wouldn't have known Averillo was playing. In those conditions, he should be troubling them.
 
I haven't looked at the stats but were we too quick to write off Bostock? He seems to be running for a lot of metres. More than Isaako for example.
