Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3173182, member: 1899"] The Eels just lack the composure of a top team. They started really well and led 16-0 before the Warriors made a game of it. It was like the Eels weren't mentally ready and as a result really struggled to find the necessary gear. I've seen them argue that losing Mahoney hurt them, but if anything he was just as skittish as the rest of them, Stone actually made them stronger defensively in the middle. The Warriors tried hard but ultimately were just so down on troops they lost that arm wrestle mid-way through the second half. I think if they had have taken the lead there, the Eels would have found it difficult to recover. The Warriors definitely received some tough calls, but I thought Atkins let them get away with a bit in the ruck as well. Curran especially was lucky not to give away a dumb game changing 5th tackle penalty for a push on RCG. [/QUOTE]
