Rd20: Parra v Penrith GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank 29/7/22

[Poupou Escobar]

Why the confidence against Souths?

Revenge factor, plus we're at home.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

He's smart and fit. It could be his best position.

Be interesting to see what his front on defence is like….generally an issue for hookers as they are smaller, but he is a big boy for the role…

 

[Noise]

f**k that was fun. Worth the long expensive Uber home. Riff are f**king shit.

 

[Chipmunk]

Revenge factor, plus we're at home.

When was the last time we beat them?

I actually think it's our biggest challenge. If we can beat Souths we can do anything. I think we'd get a bigger mental boost beating Souths than anyone else.

Time will tell if it eventuates.

At 12-4 I was looking forward to winning against 13 men. We may not of but we where travelling well. At worse its probably 12-10 halftime and game on.
The send off ruined th spectacle. It ruined our test and it also ruined what could of been some real self belief.
The two point are great but I reckon we where atleast 50/50 of winning that game. Probably higher. We where denied a confidence building win tonight.

I think they'll take plenty of confidence out of that. The only team to beat them, and we did it twice. The odds are mad multi like.

Great to have a coach with integrity. Honest and forthright. Pressers aren’t sugar coated and he never blames the refs. We’re lucky to have him.

 

[strider]

I remember when people had conniptions when the merkin from the other site suggested gutho should play dummy half

He certainly never blames the refs.

Anyhow was a good win, now need to follow it up next week…,

We can win this comp, on the form of the first half, we had Panthers on the ropes before Cleary was sent. But we need to find it each week now…..

Taupau will be a huge signing if we get him….changes the bench interchange massively, we can bring off Paulo earlier …..

We looked great in the first 17mins. I find it hard to gauge after that. 12 men and Penrith where rattled. I found the 2nd half boring.
Then2 points are important but I feel like it was a hollow win and ruined what was going to be a great game of football.

he won’t be playing 9. No chance

Conniptions is no gruntled but it's also underused.

#Integrity

 

[Gazzamatta]

Good win!

 

[eelandia]

Talking about stuff on the Pride thread. I swing right.

So you’re a Alan Jones fan?

 

[Angry_eel]

Watching from the stadium, it seemed like almost everything that could go right, went right for us today. Penrith coukd have scored 20 at least but had a few disallowed.

 

[Black Panther]

f**k that was fun. Worth the long expensive Uber home. Riff are f**king shit.

But winning the Comp by 8 points and are defending champ.

 

[emjaycee]

And smug, even when they lose.

Gay and conservative

 

[Black Panther]

Nice win Parra.. But don’t tell me we are shit. Clearly not the case .

Yea but in 2021 they can’t even beat the eels.
