Who would have thought that Parramatta would thump Penrith 34-10 - but then cop criticism after the game?But that was the case in the local western derby at CommBank Stadium on Friday night after a somewhat bizarre game.The Eels were dynamic in the first half, charging to a 30-4 lead with some scintillating football.Even before Nathan Cleary was sent off in the 18th minute, the Eels were well on top at 12-4.But the second half was a real downer for Eels fans - their team didn't go on with the job and remarkably, the 12 man Panthers side actually won the half.The Eels scored just one try in the entire half - in the dying moments - whereas Penrith scored one and had two disallowed.When Parra are on song, they are very good - but need to go for 80 minutes, especially against a team down and out as the Panthers were.
