Rd17: 530pm Parra v Dragons GAME DAY THREAD @ Win Stadium 28/6/25

[Chipmunk]

Not with his extension

He wasn't even on a Top 30 contract, I suspect he's been upgrade to Rookie Level contract inside the Top 30.

Hopefully fans can give a bit more respect to Ryley smith

 

[DaveMc]

Well the Dragons gave us the chance for us to get back into and even win the game, but we just weren't good enough in the end.

On another night maybe if we were more up for the contest, then maybe it would've been a different result.

We were f**ken woeful to be fair.

The reality is there was too many reserve grade level players out there for us to come back and win that match tonight.

De Belin walks into our starting pack.

There is a potential 12th position on through ladder there if we're good enough, but I think we'll safely occupy somewhere in the Bottom 4 come seasons end.

We’re still miles off the pace. We had every opportunity to win that, and they couldn’t ice it. All the ball and field position in the second half and dumb, half-thought out plays cost us. Unfortunately, you can’t teach brains.

 

[Matty Bhoy]

Anyone doubting the JDB signing has rocks in their head. He would be our best forward.

Somehow I’m angrier after the second half. Any other side apart from the Tigers, wins that.

Dylan Brown is phoning it in. Fk him off NOW.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Guymer with 0 minutes. He would've only come on to defend a lead.

 

[Eelementary]

Sucks to lose, as always.

But gee, we are missing a lot of our First Graders at the moment...

And we still almost tied the game up.

But, yeah - we need a lot more quality than we have right now.

 

[Delboy]

Dylan Brown is a shadow and passenger of what he is at his best.

It's a shame Jake has taken that last spot.

I would have offer them Dylan on Monday.

He is surplus to our needs for the rest of the year

My wife who’s not the mos sharp footy head, simply said Dylan is playing not to get injured. Not sure that’s the case, but he is doing OK in general, but doesn’t have any spark at all, if you’re on elite players money, you should play like one. Unfortunately he doesn’t.

 

[Chipmunk]

De Bellin if we can get him before June 30 would be good. He is a strong bastard with brilliant defence. Plus he’s a lot bigger than I thought he was.

You're keen to do as much as we can to get us to run 12th aren't you.

 

[DaveMc]

Hawkins is actually a very good back up halfback. His kicking game is surprisingly accurate. Lomax just needs to pick his moments, rather than going for the hero play every time.

 

[Chipmunk]

Guymer played 0 minutes

0 more than he should.

 

[eels_fan]

Overall pathetic performance. Don’t care about the comeback, we should never have needed one.

This is a good call. I reckon we will lose him to the UK Super League. He is solid and dependable.

 

[emjaycee]

That loss is on Lomax - didnt need to force the pass and we lose it from there.

Agree...i would not be playing him...its absolutely pointless

This season is neither here nor there, we were out of finals contention at half time of round one, so I don’t see the point in even contemplating bringing him in now. But I reckon he’ll do a job next year, even if he is a prick of a bloke.

He doesn't take to the line and pass it all his passes are before the line which any Merkin can see is coming and easily defend against..

The only time he does go to the line is set plays ont he opposition goal line and then I doubt it's his decision..

Your wife is a genius. That’s exactly what’s going on.

 

[MarkInTheStands]

Don’t get it twisted
We lost to aside that had no one left on the bench, that’s the reason we’re able to get a good run on them. And we still couldn’t finish them off.

Our middle defense in the opening 25 minutes was disgraceful, and I blame it mostly on one slow ass brother-in-law

Why is he a prick?
