Rd6 GAME DAY THREAD: 2pm Parra v Titans @ Commbank 12/4/26

[Parra Cheeses]

The fact that we are counting down the days until Samrani is back is genuinely depressing. Remember when our left edge was Jennings and Radradra?

Everyone needs to read this post. Post of the day.

 

[The Predictor]

Just watched the presser……YIKES, not good

 

[the phantom menace]

So, things that obviously are or must've gone wrong this season:

- defensive system
- defensive effort
- off-season defensive training
- fitness
- off-season fitness training
- general effort
- general motivation to bring your personal best
- general motivation to play for each other and the badge
- execution
- quality/ceiling among those players being retained (since November 2024)
- quality of recruitment and squad depth (relative to previous seasons)
- experienced/senior players in decline
- our shape - despite Anasta's (false?) praise, it's not really looking dangerous to me

That 13 issues... enough for a starting side!

We did win the pre season comp though.

Just watched the presser……YIKES, not good

Because?

 

[Bandwagon]

How about
Pathetic
Insipid
Inept
Disgraceful
Abysmal
Unnaceptable
Diabolical

They are all great and accurately descriptive words, but it's just not enough.

 

[Soto]

Breaking news...

 

[Noise]

Fair point. But I don't think Moses gets anywhere near Origin this year, provided Cleary remains fit - and even then will only be picked on past reputation.

That’s exactly why he will get picked.

 

[Bandwagon]

That’s exactly why he will get picked.

...and fair enough.

Even if he smells of dogshit because he spends week in week out hanging around a team that produces little else but dogshit doesn't mean he is dogshit.

 

[King-Gutho94]

we can argue for days about Kelly (who yeah has an error but don't think has been that poor defensively)

Yeah we can argue

Kelly is worse then Morgan Harper

But we scored 20 points against the Panthers

Which was your positive spin 2 weeks ago

 

[The Predictor]

Because?

Have you watched it?

 

[JokerEel]

Have you watched it?

No thats why I am asking

 

[Eel_fan_boy]

Because?

Don’t say too much. Very disappointed and didn’t see it coming.

also said he can’t drop anyone as he has no one to replace them with. He doesn’t want to throw young players to the wolves.

Our nsw cup team got smashed today also.

Our nsw cup team got smashed today also.

They went better than the NRL side..

 

[Poupou Escobar]

MON built this roster over the 7/8 years

Over half of these guys weren't at the club two years ago.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Mate our team makes a GF, loses, and then the team is systematically torn apart and gets worse until randomly we have decent side who lose another GF. Happened in 2001, 2009 and 2022. Look at the Broncos, sure they’re off the rails again but 2023 for a loss into 2025 for the win was a short turn around.

Yep, it's definitely not a level playing field.

I used to love the Killer Bees tag team - and their trick where they'd both go under the ring, and because of the bee masks the fresher guy would then get back in the ring as the "legal" man.

Ricky The Dragon Steamboat is very underrated. His match and win over Macho man in Wrestlemania 3 was the only good point of the shows I’ve watched so far. It was either that or King Kong Bundy splashing a midget and then Hillbilly Jim carrying the midget out like a sleeping toddler

 

[The Predictor]

No thats why I am asking

Body language was poor, responses didn’t fill me with any hope, Moses had no idea why they were so shit, same as Ryles

 

[Pazza]

Moses had no idea why they were so shit, same as Ryles

this team is conceding 2000m a game, its obvious what the issue is
