Rd13: Parra v Sharks GAME DAY thread (9/8/20)

[Soto]

Did they sing the team song?
Did Arthur have to encourage them to sing it again?
We won. Yes there were shit moments.
The conditions were atrocious.
There were good moments too. Dylan Brown, try and assist and defence on Talakai all game, Moses kicking game, Nathan Brown's effort all game.
I expect a more polished performance against dragons.
Rather be here than on the cusp of the eight...
And i would find it extremely they would play in conditions like that again in a long long time

You are asking a man who has never had confidence in anything Parra related to tell you whether he has confidence in something Parra related.

That's as pointless a question as me asking him "Do you wan't another Kraken?".

I'll take a case of those Bentspokes, mate. You know my shipping addy.

 

[crocodile]

I agree with you. But I prefer your chick pics.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I just read that the Blake/Fergo combo is the second worst in the comp with letting in 21 tries, it's definitley a massive weak spot that needs to be fixed before the Semi's.

Does it though? Every team has weaknesses. That side will improve when Matterson gets back. The lateral movement of Niukore and Davey is forcing Moses to commit to the edge forward, leaving Blake and Ferguson having to make decisions against overlaps.

 

[Suitman]

No they werent ... it was 100% rainy

You are just being a dick.

I think it's a fair point about the team song. You can paint yourself into a corner when you over or under dramatise stuff, as BA might have done in this case.

Obviously we will take the 2. It’s always good to win dirty. But we did have a few sections go our way.

that was Dylan’s best game in a few months for us. He was brilliant in such bad conditions

The thing that annoyed me the most was both Sivo and Blake coming out of the line trying to put a hit on. In Sivo’s case he’s actually created the try for Ronaldo. If he just stays back in the line, it’s easily handled. Are these guys that thick?

anyway we got the two in shit conditions and let’s move on. But we have to me much better.

Good Coaches never bag the Referee after a loss..

After today there is another current NRL coach whom Arthur's has a winning record against:

Morris
Cleary
Hasler
Maguire
McGregor
O'Brien
Holbrook
Georgallis

Plus non-current coaches Barrett, Toovey, Pay, Elliot, Smith, Sharp, Stone, Brennan, Hodges and Shepherd.

You are just being a dick.

To be fair, mate, it was just a light hearted post, IMO. It takes our collective minds off serious stuff, especially in the current climate that is 2020.

It's very....what is that word again @hineyrulz?

But there are still 7 current coaches that he shits the bed against.

I wish we could put a game to bed earlier!

Some poor options cost us a few tries in the first half that would have made things comfortable.

The way I see it, we are winning ugly, but still winning. Atrocious conditions so really can't have a go at handling errors.

He just ran over me on his lime scooter outside Chardies. I heard him say the word 'stimulating' afterwards.

I don't know how either team could have ran away with that one. I thought we played well considering everything.

Ben Cummins was the best for Parramatta today.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

But there are still 7 current coaches that he shits the bed against.

Only five. He's 3 from 6 against Seibold (though won 3 of the last 4) and he's never faced Payten.

He's also 3 from the last 4 against Bennett and won two straight against Stuart (only 2 from 9 before that).

He's got a lot of work to do to catch up to Bellamy, Robinson and, inexplicably, Paul Green.

Ben Cummins was the best for Parramatta today.

It's about time. I was starting to think he had it in for us.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Ben Cummins was the best for Parramatta today.

I thought Shaun Johnson was Parra's best.

 

[Noise]

I thought Shaun Johnson was Parra's best.

Moylan was pretty damn good for us too.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I didn't think it was possible to shank a goal kick until I saw Johnson's last attempt.
