Parramatta have done it again, blowing a lead to go down 13-12 in golden point extra time to the Sydney Roosters in Friday night's NRL clash at Parramatta Stadium.
A field-goal from Roosters captain Braith Anasta in the second minute of the extra period, after a schoolboy blunder from Fuifui Moimoi on his own 20m line, condemned the Eels to their seventh straight loss.
It was Parramatta's third golden point match of 2011 and eighth defeat by six points or less since round 12, to leave open the real possibility that they could be handed the wooden spoon as soon as Monday.
If Canberra beat Penrith on Saturday night and Gold Coast upset the Wests Tigers on Monday, the spoon will be the Eels' for the first time since 1972.
