Parra has work to do
Parramatta is treating its first round thrashing as a "wake-up call".
The media continued to attack the Parramatta team today for their disappointing performance on Saturday night.
Parramatta chief Denis Fitzgerald admitted in a Dean Ritchie Telegraph report that: "From our point of view, it was a very poor performance."
"The Bulldogs were red hot and we were cold. They got a roll on and we just couldn't match them.
"These days teams that gather momentum are very difficult to stop. But looking at the positives, it may be good that we received this wake-up call in round one and we can learn from this hiding.
Both Daniel Wagon and Nathan Cayless said Parra had "some work to do".
Wagon blamed handling - "You can't hand over that much ball" - as did Cayless.
"We let ourselves down with our handling and when we did drop the ball we didn't react in defence. We've got a lot of work to do. It's a wake-up call for us after having a good couple of trials," Cayless said in another Telegraph report.
"All I can say to our supporters is we will be working as hard as ever to come up with the points against the Broncos."
