Ryles and Moses cut dejected figures in the Eels post-match press conference, with the Parramatta coach stating the team\u2019s performance wouldn\u2019t have \u201cbeat a park football side\u201d. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In a very brief presser which lasted just over two minutes, Ryles stopped short of telling the media contingent how he really felt before lamenting his side\u2019s shocking completion rate (60%).<\/p>\n

The Eels also missed 36 tackles and completed just eight sets in the second half.<\/p>\n

\u201cI probably you don\u2019t have the vocabulary to articulate how I actually feel, so disappointing is probably one way to put it,\u201d Ryles said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was self-inflicted, they didn\u2019t have to earn a whole heap of what they did tonight. They made their one-on-one tackles on the trial and we didn\u2019t. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe completed at 38% in the second half with 40% possession. You won\u2019t beat a park football teams on that. So that that\u2019s the reality of where we\u2019re at the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I had answers, I\u2019d give them to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

While near the bottom of the table, there have been promising signs out of the Eels over the past month or so, especially defensively. <\/p>\n

However, that seemed like a distant memory when the Eels conceded two soft tries inside the first 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

The second try led to a normally placid Ryles slam his walkie talkie down in frustration in the coaches\u2019 box and storm out.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, she\u2019s pretty hot up there sometimes,\u201d Ryles responded when asked about the incident in the box.<\/p>\n

Moses may have played himself out of a Blues jersey for Game III after a performance Fox League\u2019s Matty Johns described as \u201cunusually poor\u201d.<\/p>\n

In NRL game 250, Moses committed four errors in attack and badly misjudged two defensive reads which led to Rabbitohs tries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t make our one-on-ones and just didn\u2019t nail our chances when they did,\u201d Moses said.<\/p>\n

\u201dWe just made too many errors, errors out of the backfield and give a team like that good field position, they\u2019ll make you pay.\u201d<\/p>\n

The halfback was then asked about his poor record in milestone games.<\/p>\n

In all five of those (50th, 100th, 150th, 200th, 250th), Moses has been on the wrong end of the scoreboard.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have much for you to be honest,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eels coach Jason Ryles has lashed his side following their 32-12 loss to South Sydney which ruined captain…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":713361,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-759550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/759550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=759550"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/759550\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/713361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=759550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=759550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=759550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
