Determined not to be embarrassed again, Parramatta players engaged in an honesty session this week ahead of Saturday’s NRL clash with Canberra.
The Eels put in their worst performance in 21 months in their loss to the Sydney Roosters on Sunday, the 48-10 loss their heaviest defeat since August 2015.
While in previous eras coaches responded by hammering players on the paddock following a big loss, the Eels players were made aware of their poor outing – which included 35 missed tackles and just 17 completed sets – in a no-holds-barred video session on Monday.
“No one could hide behind a chair, everyone got put on show,” second-rower Kenny Edwards said.
“We’re all men, grown men, once we walk out of that room it’s all done, get on with training and our energy at training straight after that was good.”
Edwards was most blunt in his description of the team’s performance against the Roosters.
