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

[TheRam]

Why don't you stop whinging about belting the defending premiers.

Because I'm not big on hollow victories that we can't even do right.

Loved the first half but.

 

[TheRam]

Only in primary school. By high school I had nothing to prove.

It shows.

 

[TheRam]

Martin is faster and more aggressive. He's better suited to Origin.

Yeah he has been a real savage animal in that arena.

How the hell do you come up with all this nonsense? Surely you can't believe a 10th of what you keep posting even as a stirrer?

 

[JokerEel]

Mate you think they are the Raiders or Bronco of the 90's or the Storm of the Salary cap rorting era. They are just a well drilled and fit team with an couple of excellent players that can ball play and one of them was missing for most of the game.

We had close to 70% of the ball in the first half and they were knacked. All we needed to do was come out with a similar approach to the first half and they would have cracked right open by the 60-65 min. Instead we started ok for the first couple of minutes then dropped right off in intensity and they eventually started to grow in confidence and even found ways to create overlaps on us ffs and eventually out scored us.

Now if you don't see that as a complete capitulation then sorry we see the game in a totally different way.

No they would not have cracked when has Penrith cracked in the last 3 seasons...

And ignore

 

[JokerEel]

God damn their is some whinging on this forum..

We lose whinge.
We win whinge.

Maybe find another hobby.

 

[Black Diamond]

We are already a shit team apparently..
what's the Panfers excuse going to be when they drop the next few games

No excuses, it will be tough but Panthers have the luxury iof a 6 point buffer and will stay in the 8. Eels on the other hand.....

When was the last time they played with 12 men and without their regular 3, 6, and 7?

They were headless and exhausted due to all the ball we had. All we needed to do is continue on a similar vain to the 1st half. The points would have come. They aren't a team of superstars that are super human. They are just a very good football team as we have proven on numerous times in the past by beating them.

Also look at what Manly did to Melbourne in a GF(40-0) when Melbourne were without Cameron Smith and I rate that Melbourne team a lot more then this Penrith team.

Could be 4 after next week trip to Canberra won't be easy.

Souths and Melbourne will also be an interesting to see.
Lots of pressure on the Panthers.

Well we were going to miss the 8 even with Moses. No pressure on the Eels

We dropped off in the second half but Penrith were better in the second half as well. They were much more composed. Back end of the first half they were still coming to terms with Cleary's send off.

If all we have to whinge about is that we should have beaten them by 50 instead of 24 then things could be a lot worse.

 

[Bandwagon]

It was very similar to the Broncos game, except reversed.

Yep.

Rennings is a bum but his loss almost hurt as much with how the side had to move around.
Last post in your forum but I think the second half showed the gap in coaching between the sides more than anything

I would say they are defensively at least as good as those superior attacking teams.

We had close to 70% of the ball in the first half and they were knacked.

That's why halftime was so important for them.

All we needed to do was come out with a similar approach to the first half and they would have cracked right open by the 60-65 min.

No. It would have been a massive failure by them to concede over 80 minutes like they did over 40. They didn't stop being a hard working, strong defensive team just because they lost a player.

Instead we started ok for the first couple of minutes then dropped right off in intensity and they eventually started to grow in confidence and even found ways to create overlaps on us ffs and eventually out scored us.

Now if you don't see that as a complete capitulation then sorry we see the game in a totally different way.

Well obviously. This is why you're wrong so often.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yep. They team that's conceded 12 points per game all year isn't suddenly going to concede 50 just because they're down a man. We were lucky they were shit for one half of footy. Only an idiot would think they will shit themselves two halves in a row. These whingers have no idea.

It's not the point. It's about attitude and why we aren't in the top 4 and have the worst F/A in the top 8 and now with Moses being out could easily lose all our remaining games and miss the 8 altogether. And who would really be surprised?

No one would begrudge the team for not going on with it if they weren't such a basket case.

I don't know why I have to even explain such bleeding obvious crap to supposedly intelligent posters. I would understand it if you were Gronk or Diablo, but you guys should be better then this.

Let get real if we had 70% of the ball in the first half the official figures show we had 55% to their 45% for the whole game. This means that they had 60% of the ball in the second half which help negate them playing with 12 men. Penrith played very well in the 2nd half and we found it difficult to repeat the first half effort with only 40% of the ball.

I give up. You're as bad as Gronk and diablo.

With that performance Arthur brought his record over Cleary to 10 wins, 7 losses. Bellamy, Robinson, Stuart, Bennett.. all got the wood on Brad Arthur. Cleary does not.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah he has been a real savage animal in that arena.

Well you're missing the point. Matterson and RCG are valuable mostly because they offer so much over 80 minutes. They are high-involvement attacking forwards and rep teams just don't need them. They have four blokes on the bench who are all the best forwards in their club side. Merkins just need to come in and work hard in defence and off the ball, and play their role. They don't need to make 20 runs and be a key player in attack.
