Less than a week after showing plenty of spirit in their extra-time loss to the Wests Tigers on Monday, the Eels looked like a completely different outfit on Sunday afternoon.

Slumping to second last on the NRL ladder – only in front of the winless Dragons – they missed over 40 tackles during the contest, conceded nine tries and lacked effort in both attack and defence.

Speaking after one of the worst showings he has seen as head coach of the Eels, Jason Ryles stated that he saw no “fight” from his playing group and some decisions made by individuals will be studied closely in their review of the match.

“We just got 50 put on us at our home ground, so the fans are well within their right to be doing that. They’re a huge part of what we’re doing and it’s disappointing that we performed like that in front of them,” Ryles said post-match.

“Really disappointing. Didn’t see it coming and some real not good signs there.

“It’s certainly a challenge whenever you get a third of the way through your list. It’s always going to put pressure on performances but at the same time it creates opportunity.

“Today, for me, was disappointing from the point of view that the spirit wasn’t there. Last week I saw some fight that I’d never seen before and then this week, I didn’t see it.

“And some individuals made some decisions, hopefully they wouldn’t make again, so that’s something that we need to get to the bottom of really quickly.

“Whoever does come in for those guys that are injured, it’s really important that they understand that NRL is a tough business, and if you’re not ready to go right from the start, today happens.”

Despite not having the likes of J’maine Hopgood, Jonah Pezet and Isaiah Iongi, Ryles failed to blame injuries for the side’s abysmal performance.

“I’m not going to blame the injuries. They’re there, and teams go over those periods in seasons, but when you get your opportunity, you need to take it.

“Right across the board, we just need to get to the bottom of why we lacked that desire today, which I’ve not seen at all from this group in the 18 months that I’ve been here, not for one second.

“That was probably the most disappointing part.”

Echoing Ryles’ calls, captain Mitchell Moses was lost for words post-match.

“I don’t really have many answers for you, to be honest,” he added.

“We haven’t really started well pretty much the whole year, so our start is a big reason for it.

“We’ve been losing our start every single game probably this year, and then when you look up at the scoreboard you’re down by 18, 20 and chasing your tail. It doesn’t make it easy there.

“I don’t think our attack was really good today either, so it didn’t really help.”
