2017 NYC Grand Final: Parra Eels V. Manly

[I'm a loser baby...]

In rugby league you only need a couple of blokes to switch off and they become passengers. And leaders at that age are too inexperienced to bring their mates back into the game.

This is why you see so many big swings in under 20s. Teams get a big lead and a few players clock off. Then because they're inexperienced they panic instead of switching back on.

NYC has always been shit footy. It's nice that we have a bit of talent though. Stone and Mahoney are guns.

Don't kid yourself mate. They're all marked now. Loosers forever.

Yep. Jake and Rammy have spoken, clean them all out and start again. That loss means they'll never be able to win games in first grade.

Plus they're a little bit too burnished

I reckon Stone is the only chance of becoming a quality first grader but he is a bit undersized.

 

[The Phelan Folly]

Jesus f**k there's some weird merkins that post on here.

I reckon Stone is the only chance of becoming a quality first grader but he is a bit undersized.

GL will be a first grader, defence can be fixed and it's easy to fade in and out of games at 20s level so it may not even be an issue moving forward.

Didn't play today but IMO Dargan will too. Probably not at Parra though. And I rate Faingaa a good chance, big strong and skillful.

You never know tbh, sometimes the guns fall away and the iffy players like Aukafolau kick on

 

[Gazzamatta]

Well at least in this day and age we collect a participation award cause nobody wants to discourage anyone by saying they lost.
Fu*c! Even that useless bearded Ref got his participation award.

 

[Eelogical]

For what it's worth it was a far better game than what's being dished up atm.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Well boys, we could be Hunters fans.....

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Penrith needs to ease off, this is frigging devastating for PNG.

To be fair, four teams choked against the team that finished eighth. Looks like we all took them lightly. We showed our dominance in the first 15 minutes and a bit later in the first half I noticed this:

And we never got it back. We just rested on our laurels that we were better than them. But being better doesn't mean you'll win without effort. We clocked off with 50 minutes to go. Choke.

It was also around the same time for some reason Stone was taken off, and by the time he came back on we had totally lost all the momentum. Surely after playing most of the season in Wenty he could most of the game.

I think we'd have bigger problems than the footy if that was the case.

It may be devastating for PNG but it's getting embarrassing for the NRL. It's getting to the stage where I'd rather post in a looser thread than watch a live grand final.

I think we'd have bigger problems than the footy if that was the case.

Cannibalism?

 

[Gazzamatta]

So what goes. Qld win everything but are f*n useless in the 2s and 3s. Is the tide turning.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Anyone in the Panthers 2s targeted by our Eels? Anybody we should be targeting?

 

[Bazal]

There's a rumor about Kikau. Apparently.

 

[hineyrulz]

There's a rumor about Kikau. Apparently.

Hope so, he’s far too good for reserve grade.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Cannibalism?

Or your nose might get infected from putting a dirty bone through it.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

I think we'd have bigger problems than the footy if that was the case.

Yes. We should all be panthers fans. Clearly a club with the right attitude to grand finals. You don't find chokers out at Penrith.

 

[Eelogical]

Hope so, he’s far too good for reserve grade.

I wonder how much it would cost to turn him into a mentally scarred, career ending, lifetime loser?
