Eels defence fails again
The Parramatta Eels have continued to leak points going down 33 to 6 to the Wests Tigers in front of a packed crowd at Leichardt Oval.
AAP wrote that "calls for Parramatta coach Brian Smith's sacking look set to reach a crescendo after the Eels were thrashed..."
Smith was quoted on the ABC website as saing: "I'm pretty low, I'm not enjoying this at all. I've been through it before and you try to remind yourselves that things pass.
"When teams are down as we are at the moment, you sometimes wonder if it's ever going to end, but it does."
The turning point of this game was the third tackle of the game when the Tigers lost the ball bringing it out from their line however somehow it was missed by the referee and both touch judges. Less than ten minutes later it was 12 to nil as the Eels exploited Parramatta's lax defence.
Continued poor defence, errors, penalties and a lack of cohesion in attack meant the Eels were never serious challengers to the Tigers.
