Super League-bound coach Brian Smith was impressed by Parramatta’s performance against the Penrith Panthers last Friday night.

Writing for theroar.com.au, Smith says simple attacking footy is the way forward for his former club.

“I loved the way Parra went about their much-needed win over Panthers last weekend” Smith wrote.

“The way they set out to move the ball right from the outset, even at their own end, was bold. It unsettled their opponents. They found weak spots just by passing – simple, conventional pass and catch from player to player.

“At times there were five or even six transfers running at half speed, but eventually they found weaknesses.”

The Eels play North Queensland at Pirtek Stadium on Monday.
