All right can we a little less with this timewasting crap? It makes me nervous.

Pretty happy with a shut out considering our defense from the first couple of games.

Well done boys. Brilliant work. Great heart, great effort, outstanding. A bit sloppy in places but we kept going and never stopped trying to get back up.

Blake owning up to his defensive problems. Fox commentators trying to start drama by prodding him about being dropped.

Good win and solid defence but the opp was hopeless. The team selection needs to be tweaked to take on the better sides. Havelli looking very good. One can only wonder what may have been if he had had more minutes in the early losses.
It's a simple game; tackle, back-up, pass, hold the ball! What did I say? "Hold the bloody ball!!"

Glad to get that win.

Great enthusiasm from the boys. Still concerned about Joey and Austin in their defence
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

I actually feel sorry for Bevan. Won a first try scorer bet with him last year, and can be really elusive, but offered nothing at all tonight. Nothing.

Can I just say I find Hingano very disappointing at this stage.

In fact he's been terrible.

I agree the Eels were hopeless! But in other games those pathetic jinking runs from the Jennings’s, Norman, Moses and the like would have torn us to pieces and we’d have lost 30-18.

The defence has improved 100% in two weeks! Well done Sticky and players!!

As always, of course, the wrap up is all about how bad Parramatta were, not about how good we were.

Fox talking about Parra, Parra and more Parra.

Who did they play again?

Sezer was terrible at hooker as well - its amazing what happens when he plays his natural position.

Its hard to judge Hingano until he actually plays half. He carved us up last year, so he has some skills, but he is bloody small to be tackling props, and his service off the deck is obviously slow, because its not something he has developed in his junior grades. Hell - theres plenty of actual hookers with bad service!

Fair call. Doesn't excuse that stupid pass he threw but. And defence is defence. They run massive forwards at halves anyway.

I think he sucks. Happy to be shown otherwise.
