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

[the phantom menace]

Thanks for your contribution. Really appreciate it.

No worries - catching up on the thread it looks like I was about the 20th person to call you out on the dumb blame Lomax for the loss remark.

 

[emjaycee]

Really trying to out-Pou Pou this week - and succeeding!

Wow, for a minute there I thought you typed something worth reading for a change - my bad.

 

[85 Baby]

I'm not blaming the forced pass for our shitty first half defence, I'm blaming it for us not scoring 26 points and the scoring being locked up with 3 minutes to go.

No you said the loss was on Lomax. I blame him for turning that ball over then. I don’t blame him for the insipid effort in first half

 

[eels_fan]

You honestly reckon people don’t care about the character of their peers, particularly in a team sport? I’d be more concerned if they didn’t.

I don’t think our players give a flying crap if one of their teammates cheated on their partner, especially if said partner has forgiven them and they remain together years later.

Perhaps they don’t. But that’s not to their credit.

 

[Parra Pride]

Morally flawed is the literal definition of the word prick.

You may want to read a dictionary before you go telling people what the literal meaning of words is.

 

[T-Boon]

Yeah, totally. You sound like you’ve never given a f**k about the feelings of another person if you think that f**king around on your heavily pregnant partner is sweet. You don’t need to admit you’re a piece of shit, but here we are.

People just have open relationships now a lot more than they did in the old days. Everything has changed and you aren't ready for it and are just projecting onto others and being judgmental on the youth who by the way I also cannot stand. Blow the whole thing up.

 

[Matty Bhoy]

Game of 2 halves - their inept 2nd half performance is what got us back to a point of being able to win it. Until Lomax took that chance away with a high risk play that wasn't needed.

Yeah but we had chances before that. Regardless, the first half was not acceptable.

 

[eels81236]

It’s get

It’s irrelevant to him playing for us. That’s my point. You reckon our players give a shit?

It’s getting out of hand now and derailing the thread, but my last word and response to your point here is that it’s obvious that Ryles hasn’t come here with a no dickheads policy.
I hope your daughter/s or family do.

 

[eels_fan]

Kelma isnt a loss his defence and discipline is putrid.

Extending him was a bone head call

Kelma had 16 runs for 152m and 42 tackles, 1 line break, 3 tackle breaks and 2 offloads.

if we win the game he’s hailed as having a fantastic game

he may have had a overall poor season, but he was our best forward tonight, and was pretty handy last week too

Tell me you’re a piece of shit without saying you’re a piece of shit.

 

[emjaycee]

Totally agree but a game goes for 80 minutes (or GP), not 40 so whilst our 1st half was unacceptable, we still had a chance to at least go to Golden Point until Lomax's pass attempt.

 

[Parra Pride]

Tell me you’re a piece of shit without saying you’re a piece of shit.

Why are you so emotional about him cheating on his missus when the one person who actually matters, the wife in question, has seemingly forgiven him considering they are still married?

 

[Avenger]

merkin, you’re saying he’s sweet because he’s a decent footballer. The guy is a merkin. That he can run a good line and make his tackles doesn’t change the fact that he is, and will always be, a merkin.

And you will be cheering for him next season

merkin.

I hope your daughter/s or family do.

That’s plain as day. If we had a no dickheads policy, Dylan Walker doesn’t pass the first hurdle.

And honestly, that’s fine. But let’s not pretend that De Belin is suddenly a good person because he’s going to be wearing blue and gold next year.

 

[Avenger]

Stop being such a solipsistic merkin and ask your missus what she thinks about what he did.

I don’t tell my Mrs everything. I have a Bro code.

 

[DaveMc]

Why are you so emotional about him cheating on his missus when the one person who actually matters, the wife in question, has seemingly forgiven him considering they are still married?

I’m not the slightest bit emotional about it. I’m just saying that he’s a shit person. How is that so hard to understand?

 

[Matty Bhoy]

Sure it’s irrelevant to whether he’s a good footballer or not. I’m saying that he’s a piece of shit as a bloke.

I’d sign Heinrich Himmler if he actually ran at the line with 6 on his back, unlike Brown.

 

[Parra Pride]

I’m not the slightest bit emotional about it. I’m just saying that he’s a shit person. How is that so hard to understand?

You are calling someone a piece of shit for disagreeing with you on this, that seems a tad emotional mate.

Do you want Iongi to be released then?
Because his ex made a hell of a lot of noise on social media back at the start of the season accusing him of cheating on her after years together as soon as he got a profile by playing for us and getting attention from female fans…
