Rd5 GAME DAY THREAD: 405pm Parra v Tigers @ Commbank 6/4/26

[T-Boon]

I was saying 18 months ago we should sign Jock Madden. He has figured it out in defense. We should get MON and the lawnmower man onto signing him.

 

[Timana]

I do bag Guymer but he was very good today. He probably outplayed Tuivati. Morreti stunk it up big time. Horrible

Moretti looked really unfit

 

[hineyrulz]

Sorry, but that's a poor take on our performance today.

Really??? If old mate doesn't get binned we probably lose by 13+.

They had a massive crack but this team is poor in so many area's.

Our 3 off season signings have been utter dross, heads need to role the Titans are going to pump us next week and then the dogs will do worse. I feel sorry for Ryles because the people above him have made his job almost impossible but going all in on a deadset donkey like Pezet instills me with no confidence at all.

 

[Eelementary]

I don't think we were great, but we have played worse.

But that refereeing was pathetic.

And to go down like that, with all the injuries, sucks.

I hate when "the better team" just happens to have 14 players on the field...

 

[Stevie]

I’m not bring heavy, you’re being a dickhead.

To walk away from that specific game calling the team pathetic, and fans who have said they’re proud of that effort losers, is itself pathetic. This squad is far from being a good squad, but that game isn’t an example of it. That was a really gutsy effort with a bunch of injuries and blokes playing out of position.

Apologies. I wasn’t calling them pathetic off that one games effort. It’s 45 years of sample size.

 

[Chipmunk]

I did the same injury as Simonsson 30 odd years ago. I suspect that will be his season. Is he under contract for next year?

 

[T-Boon]

Pezet needs a lot of work. He should be in Melbourne's reserve grade.

 

[hineyrulz]

Moretti looked really unfit

They all look unfit, our middle defence is appalling. We missed over 50 tackles how anyone can praise that is beyond me.

 

[Eelogical]

Once again goal kicking costs us.

But that missed strip prior to their second try was ridiculous. And were we even off side at the end?

The ref was tanked. He needed to end it. Simples.

 

[Matty Bhoy]

When Barlow went off we noticeably lost our punch through the middle.

 

[DaveMc]

Apologies. I wasn’t calling them pathetic off that one games effort. It’s 45 years of sample size.

Ok mate, very clever. I’m calling you a dickhead just on the sample size of your posts this afternoon though.

 

[Avenger]

I do bag Guymer but he was very good today. He probably outplayed Tuivati. Morreti stunk it up big time. Horrible

Moretti looks like he is psychologically not there. Almost looks like he is playing with fear.

 

[Stevie]

I think we might be a worse side than last year. But with an even worse roster.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Pezet needs a lot of work. He should be in Melbourne's reserve grade.

What really annoys me is that all 3 buys have been useless and could've probably kept Hawkins

 

[85 Baby]

But he was only sin binned because he was injured. Would it have been a sin bin otherwise?

It also wouldn’t have been a penalty if Russell hadn’t been knocked out. It was also only a penalty because Moses challenged. It also would’ve been a penalty had Williams try to ground.
Did we play great? No, but we played well enough to win it, but for the ref becoming the showpiece.
The argument of we don’t score without the binning also holds little weight because it seems to me the Tigers don’t score in first half without the missed strip call or the Russell penalty.

 

[Wizardssleeve]

Pezet needs a lot of work. He should be in Melbourne's reserve grade.

And to think many of us ( me included ) were worried about us developing him under Moses and sending him off to Brizzy as a quality player. Jokes on you Brisbane .

 

[JokerEel]

They all look unfit, our middle defence is appalling. We missed over 50 tackles how anyone can praise that is beyond me.

But we only lost by 2 to a pretty shit Tigers side......

 

[Eelogical]

That sin bin call was what made the game a close contest.

That really was just one of those random situations where 99 times out of 100 no one gets injured and no one gets sin binned.

The Tigers wern't going to win it, we were meant to lose it. It was written.

 

[Chipmunk]

He was 100% offside. But Williams dropped a sitter. And we didnt diffuser the short kick off. Had Bailey been on we do.
But then again if he isn't hit they dont go down to 12 and we probably dont score 2 x tries . Tbh I think the better side won

If Simonsson doesn't get injured in dare say we get beaten by plenty. We were going nowhere and looked dreadful until then.

 

[the phantom menace]

Moretti looks like he is psychologically not there. Almost looks like he is playing with fear.

Maybe someone hid his bag during pre-season camp...
