Rd22: 750pm Parra v Storm GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank 31/7/25

[Parrapat]

4-10 at halftime?

I'm taking that!

 

[Eelogical]

Six agains....lulz.

 

[Matty Bhoy]

That’s a gutsy first half from us. A couple of silly mistakes. But Jesus H Christ it would be nice to be reffed evenly. Even somewhat close to even.

 

[Avenger]

Lomax since origin has been shithouse. His body language is like he’s got a permanent ball rash.

And how the f**k can we not get a 6 again against these merkins with what they continually do in the ruck?

 

[piggysmalls]

Pretty good score considering errors

 

[Noise]

Guymer up to 7 missed tackles. Weak merkin

 

[Tooooks]

I can’t remember what the possession breakdown was at half time in round 1 but it was probably around 60% like tonight? And we were down by 40.

The errors are frustrating and the defence too at times but geez this team has come a long way in 5 months.

We do need 50% possession though. Another half like that will end in a blow out in the last 15-20 mins.

 

[Gherkin]

So much dumb play and we’re only down by 6. Fix the discipline in the second half and we’re in this. If we keep making mistakes we’ll tire and they’ll run up a score

 

[Parrapat]

Our marker defense fell to pieces once Smith was replaced by TDS.

TDS needs to get his stamina and determination adjusted to R Smith levels.

 

[senior]

Hopgood needs his passing license taken away, I'd rather doorey to ball play like he did in cup

Ruined all our momentum

 

[Avenger]

Guymer up to 7 missed tackles. Weak merkin

Don’t worry the plodder will get to at least 12 and some will keep saying to give him time.

It’s time to go to NSW Cup.

 

[The Predictor]

Lomax since origin has been shithouse. His body language is like he’s got a permanent ball rash.

And how the f**k can we not get a 6 again against these merkins with what they continually do in the ruck?

I heard Moses telling Sutton why they aren’t getting any 6 again calls, good on him

 

[Tooooks]

Guymer up to 7 missed tackles. Weak merkin

8 on NRL stats. That’s atrocious. At what point do you hook him?

 

[T-Boon]

It comes down to easy dropped ball. Williams and Hopgood have bad hands and seems that we just have to put up with that. The drop from Guymer at least he was trying something.
The first try to Melbourne really came off that Fox hustles in defense which gave them another set of six they didn't deserve. They should fix that rule.

 

[Soto]

Interesting Moretti starting...
I think Rylesy playing it tight with heavy track.
Bring on Walker after opening exchanges.
Hope Hopgood is not going to play his old style lock role.
Want him tucking it under the arm and making metres

So hopgood doesn't tuck it under the arm....bloody hell mate just run and don't offload

 

[T.S Quint]

Yes, some consistency in the refereeing would be nice.

We have to do something about our handling errors though. It’s putting way too much pressure on our defence and we are fatiguing ourselves.

Moses should take the last tackle kicks. I don’t care what side of the field the ball goes to, Moses should follow.

 

[the phantom menace]

40% possession... yikes.

 

[eel01s]

We have butchered plenty of opportunities with poor mistakes. Tighten that up and we go close here. Complete your sets boys!

Once again our tacklers always last to get up.

 

[Sensei Cobra]

40% possession... yikes.

That’s our own fault
Too many mistakes

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Pretty good first half, few to many errors, but attack is looking good at times (2 lb to their 1).

Only had 40% of the ball. And Storm is clearly looking a class above. But the effort is great!

Just need to reduce our errors and build some pressure when in good field position.
