Parra problem is?
I think I have worked out Parra's problem - people have blamed Tim Smith and yeah sure he has or was not at his best. However if you watch their games most of the tries, most errors and the one player that comes out of the line to be a hero is Eric. I am a Parra fan all the way but every time there is a bomb, a kick or a tackle to be made on his wing you hold your breath and most of the time they score due to him being out of position or dropping the ball. I would love to hear other people's opinion on this, and not people that want to rubbish Parra just honest opinions on if you agree or what you see the problem to be.....
Update:I agree that I should not be singling Eric out as there is other players that are not doing their job.

its mostly the little things catching the eels out like, drop balls, handing over possesion at the wrong end of the field, 1 thing they need serios work on is there sliding goal line defence, they let to many trys in from close range. The only positional changes i would make is maybe have hayne roving around the ruck in attack, in defence i think he is a strong center. i think parras best players so far this year are daniel wagon and the young center totai hes a great defender, id like to see him with more ball, and im also an eels fan, having said all that i still think the eels are serios premiership contenders
Parra has the same problem now that they did a few years back. They just aren't playing as a team. They are to concerned at how they play as an individual so when another team member gets a chance they take it themselves. For example a few rounds ago when Reddy had the ball he could have easily passed it to Grothe on the wing and they would have had 4 extra points on the board but Reddy took it himself and got tackled. I'm not saying its all Reddy's fault im just saying they need to wake up to themselves and start playing as a team and stop trying to play as individuals.
NRL IS A TEAM SPORT!!!!
nd im a parra supporter aswell
You ask for a sensible answer and look how many idiots decide to shine...
Grothe has some great games, and some forgettable ones, but i don't think you can single him out as the problem... there are a few players not doing the basics that get them in just as much trouble.
I do agree that he'd make a better centre, or maybe a move into the second row or lock could be beneficial for the team.
Parramatta's window is remaining. The crew that Noel Cleal assembled interior the early 2000's (that made a GF) are purely about all lengthy gone, and the last plaryers from that crew are ageing now. i imagine this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days is the perfect danger for Parramatta earlier they less than flow a rebuilding faze, because they're set to loose some better sturdy gamers on the suitable of this season. Parramatta wont win the comp this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, yet they have a small danger in the adventure that they keep playing not person-friendly.
well your right eric has been the cause for some of the tries, he does come out of his line to quickly and unfortunatly the other teams have noticed that and have been targeting him a lot , although he is good in attack, i think he would be better in centre and put reddy on the wing.
dw: parra play there best footy during mid season
Ahh Eric Grothe Jnr - well all i can say is brilliant one moment, terrible the next and then the next and then the next. Just glad i'm not a parra supporter, however i am a knights supporter and we are not much better. Lulia and Vuna had a bad case of droppsies last week.
I reckon Hagan should shift Grothe to the centres so he doesn't need to catch or chase balls (Machael Robertson Try LOL) and then put Burt into the wing cause he can catch and play on the wing and put Hayne on fullback cause he's dangerous.
Too many Parra players in the team! lol, borrow some from another team.
I reckon the problem is confidence. See how they played against the Cowboys? Lack of confidence. No one really stepped up. They played slightly better against an ordinary Sea Eagles outfit.
in some ways eric is unreal!! when he gets the ball in his hands he rarely stuffs it up.he has that amazing palm that he just sends people flying with.
but on the other hand when he is defending he comes in too much from the wing. i think he needs to play his position right. stay out on the wing!!!!
