Rd12: Parramatta v Souths GAME DAY thread 31st May 2019

[Parramatta1947]

Forwards doing all the work - all credit.

Will Smith is a fraud. Get the ball past him and Jennings looks dangerous.

Still think we have very little set plays in attack

 

[hineyrulz]

What a team!!

Sign them all up forever!!

 

[Gronk]

I reckon I could do what Will Smith is doing at 6 whilst wearing my wife’s skinny jeans.

We really need a 6 that can play in the LHS.

 

[T.S Quint]

We’ve been the better team by quite a fair way, but it was just our kicking game has let us down again. That last ten minutes was very good and I’m glad we got some points on the board.
Half time came at a bad time for us actually. We were on a bit of a roll there with lots of enthusiasm, and Souths seemed a bit deflated. Hopefully we come out for the second half with some more of that energy.

Well done boys for the first half. Let’s keep it going in the second.

 

[Eelementary]

Make that 142m.

Manu has been immense.

 

[Tooooks]

I am probably on my own, but I really liked what I saw from Evans.

Good carries, aggression in defence...that's what we need from him.

I think he's been good. 7 runs for 74 m and some strong tackles, a good offload or two as well.

 

[Happy MEel]

Moses improved. Such a confidence player.

Yep. I reckon he needs to work himself into the game (and be able to hold back when things aren’t going so well) which suits a 6 who touches the ball less.

Drown oozes composure and class, but not so much the flamboyance of a Moses. I reckon his game management and ability to stick to a plan would be comparable to Moses’ right now, purely due to his calmness, and it will only get better.

 

[T.S Quint]

Did Reed just say Moses needs to be better??

He did. And it was true.

 

[Eelementary]

I think he's been good. 7 runs for 74 m and some strong tackles, a good offload or two as well.

I'm glad you agreed with me! I worried for a bit that, because I like Evans, that perhaps I saw him perform better than he actually did!

But he looked strong on both sides of the ball to me.

 

[Parra Cheeses]

Forwards going ok. Get the ball to Gennings

 

[strider]

Someone go wake @strider up

Huh? What? Did we win?

 

[Suitman]

We've still been rubbish

 

[Tooooks]

I'm glad you agreed with me! I worried for a bit that, because I like Evans, that perhaps I saw him perform better than he actually did!

But he looked strong on both sides of the ball to me.

I was a bit worried about his selection but I'm glad he's making the most of the opportunity so far.

Leumeah High School?

 

[Happy MEel]

Yep @Eelementary. I have little time for Evans but credit where it’s due...he was very good.

 

[84 Baby]

f**k Third Man is shit

 

[Happy MEel]

I reckon I could do what Will Smith is doing at 6 whilst wearing my wife’s skinny jeans.

Your gonads would be feeling similar to Fergo’s though after his “head clash”.

 

[Eelogical]

Those two passes on the left to Lane on the burst are aren't fooling anybody. We're quite poor within the Souths 20 as well. At least our defence is good, minimal mistakes and coming out of our red zone is a big step up from previous weeks.

 

[T.S Quint]

We've still been rubbish

I wouldn’t say rubbish.
Defence has been good, forwards have been making decent metres. Just some poor kicks and lacklustre ends to some of our sets. Those two tries hopefully have given them the confidence to get that stuff sorted for the second half.

Wally Lewis medal on Sportsbet!
Do I go Tedesco, Cook, DCE, Ponga or short priced favourite Billy Slater?
