Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3164577, member: 1899"] I'm disappointed in Parramatta, that was a golden opportunity to put Melbourne to the sword and yet they blew opportunity after opportunity. I just see too much doubt in their play and I don't think their halves are putting themselves in positions to challenge the defence. Melbourne were very brave. They were entitled to lose by more but a few of their players came up with some extradinary efforts to stop tries. They just didn't take advantage when they had opportunities and their attack clearly lacked direction and potency without their halves and Cameron Smith on the field. I think injuries are going to deny them this year which is something we don't often associate with Melbourne. They're really beginning to pile up now and while they should have a few stars back around the finals, who knows if they can deliver the three or four great performances in a row they'll need. At the end of the day, the Eels didn't lose so they're in with a hope. I think you take any win you can get against Melbourne and keeping them to 0 is a positive. The key is they have to build on it and try to find that extra gear leading into the finals. They actually have a great draw to play themselves into some form. They have Penrith which is the type of finals tune up game you want and then they also get Brisbane at Bankwest which is the game you'd love to have to blow the cobwebs out and really get the combinations going.
