Parramatta Eels v South Sydney Rabbitohs Match Report - By Mary

It was a spirited performance at times from Parramatta but it was not enough to defeat South Sydney today with the final scoreline being 30-10.

It was a wet and miserable afternoon for the fans who braved the cold to watch the game at ANZ Stadium.

After watching Parramatta closely over the last few weeks I would say that the area letting us down the most is attention to detail. Many Parramatta fans complain that we are refereed differently to other teams, but our performance in the ruck was scrappy today resulting in a 13-6 penalty count in favour of Souths. A lack of urgency also resulted in South Sydney's third try.

Souths performed extremely well even though they were missing key players as a result of suspension and State of Origin. 

For Parramatta the stand out players were Ken Sio with a brilliant, solo, 90 metre try, Jacob Loko, Darcy Lussick and Tim Mannah's beard.

Parramatta have now lost 5 in a row. It is certainly a tough time for Eels fans at the moment - but now is the time to stay strong as supporters and hopefully look forward to better times ahead.

I hope you all enjoyed this week's blogs!

I'm looking forward to connecting with all of you in the coming week.

Love,

  1. Parramatta have now lost 5 in a row and in all 5 games the opposition has socred at least 30 points, on top of that we are now 4 points away from second last .... if I was willing to sit there in the freezing cold weather today to watch us take on probably the best team in the comp with next to no chance of winning it's safe to say I'll be staying strong with my support to my team but when will we start to turn the corner .... the nightmare run continues
