How to beat the Eels gameplan
Yesterday, it was the turn of Paul Kent to launch yet another attack on the Eels, this time claiming that teams now knew exactly how to expose Parramatta's defensive flaws.
In another Telegraph article he said Parramatta's woes are being caused by poor decision making in defence, based on the sliding defence system they employ.
"Many rival teams are being coached to perform exactly the same way against the Eels. Namely, once the Eels have been beaten down their right side the defenders will look to be beaten that way again and react accordingly in defence.
So bad are Parramatta's troubles that three of the six first-half tries [against the BUlldogs] were scored directly through poor defensive reads down Parramatta's right side."
