Heading up to Sydney this weekend if I can return a negative RAT by then.

First time I've seen the Raiders in Sydney in about 6-7 years I think.

Friday night game for the Warriors. Pretty rare. I'm guessing 9 will take a pretty big hit in the ratings.

Especially with the opponents being Illawarra

Heh! It's always a nice leisurely start to the weekend for me, watch it on Friday morning after breakfast

Have brought Shaun Johnson into my Supercoach this week and decided to throw the C on him.

Hopefully a big outing and a Wahs win. They should do you’d think

I've tipped them, so probably not, plus usually don't play well against them.

 

[Aucklander]

Fantastic win. SJ brilliant again, DWZ with 4 tries.

 

[moto748]

Well the Dragons weren't too taxing, were they? A few slack moments, but generally great stuff from the Warriors. Defended well as they have done all season, and SJ has never looked sharper. Looks like he's having a whale of a time too (as it did last week).

 

[CURVE]

Parramatta have started well, 5 tries in the first 25 minutes.

 

[Great8]

Eels putting on a clinic after conceding the first try. 5 tries in 20 minutes to lead 30-4 with 13 minutes to play in the first half.
Not looking so smug now Bennett you pole smoker

 

[CURVE]

His sixth conversion and Moses becomes the third player to score 1000 points in the Blue & Gold.

 

[CURVE]

I don't think Parramatta have ever scored 40 points in a half.

EDIT: I think we scored 40+ in out 74-4 win over Cronulla in 2003

 

[Great8]

Blind ref costs us another try but challenge successful and we score 2 plays later anyway
42-4 up at half time

 

[Great8]

I don't think Parramatta have ever scored 40 points in a half.

EDIT: I think we scored 40+ in out 74-4 win over Cronulla in 2003

Highest first half score in our history

 

[CURVE]

Highest first half score in our history

Yeah, in the game against Cronulla we lead 24-4 at halftime and piled on 50 points in the second half when Peachey and Newton were sent off a few minutes apart and then another player was sin binned. Scored 14 tries and kicked only 9 goals that game.

 

[CURVE]

And once again, Parramatta take their foot off the throat in the second half. We are lazy front runners at times.

 

[CURVE]

Parramatta trying to play cute but looking like dills.

 

[Great8]

Absolutely putrid second half but always good to beat that w***er Bennett

 

[CURVE]

One of the best first halves I've seen from an Eels side since the golden era of the 80's followed by one of the worst second halves I've seen since 2012/13 when we won multiple spoons. Typical Parramatta

Like most West Aussie's wanting a league team, I knew relocating a previous team was the most likely way to come into the comp. Always thought it'd be the Bears though.
