Parramatta coach Jason Ryles says his side wouldn\u2019t have beaten a park footy team based on how they played on Thursday night, with he and skipper Mitch Moses lost for words in one of the shortest post-match press conferences of the season.<\/p>\n
The duo spoke for just over two minutes following the 32-12 loss to the Rabbitohs, but there wasn\u2019t much else to say on a night Ryles vented his frustrations by throwing a walkie talkie and punching a hole in the wall after a Souths try.<\/p>\n
The Eels have punched above their weight in recent weeks with some strong defensive performances despite having a number of stars on the sidelines.<\/p>\n
But that same toughness was nowhere to be seen in Moses\u2019 250th NRL game where they made a staggering 17 errors and missed 36 tackles.<\/p>\n
\u201cI probably don\u2019t have the vocabulary to articulate how I actually feel, so disappointing is probably one way to put it,\u201d a dejected Ryles said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey didn\u2019t have to earn a whole heap of what they did tonight. They made their one-on-one tackles on the try line, we didn\u2019t. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe completed at 38 per cent in the second half with 40 per cent possession. You won\u2019t beat a park football team doing that. That\u2019s the reality of where we\u2019re at at the moment, and we need to keep working hard to turn it around.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Eels reportedly had one of their best weeks at training, but that didn\u2019t show on the field. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf I had some answers for you now, I\u2019d give them to you, but we\u2019ll go back and watch the tape,\u201d Ryles said. <\/p>\n
The Eels coach was blunt when asked about his reaction following Euan Aitken\u2019s try in the 13th minute.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s pretty hot up there (the coach\u2019s box) sometimes,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cOur good\u2019s good, and our bad\u2019s just nowhere near good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
The loss continued a disastrous trend for Moses who has now lost all of his milestone matches, with the star halfback making four errors in his final audition for the Origin decider.<\/p>\n
Moses missed the series opener with a hamstring injury but played in the heavy loss in game two, with the NSW team for the Suncorp Stadium showdown to be released in the coming days. <\/p>\n
He wasn\u2019t asked about the upcoming clash against Queensland, with Moses in no mood to chat after his side\u2019s poor performance at home. <\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t have much for you to be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n
