Well cherry popped from his dadfy was the manly fan i specifically had in mind.

Helps if you can spell

What were you trying desperately to say?

 

[Canard]

Like I told you before when you said Morgans been the form player this year, I said that might be the case but his kicking game is off.

Except you didn't say that at all.

 

[Generalzod]

Do you think JT has anything to be worried about the shoulder charge I hope not

 

[Spade]

Semi paid his mrs off and everyone still loves him lol

Semi paid his mrs off and everyone still loves him lol

Reminds me of a club who alledgedly paid a woman once

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

His been one of the form players in the NRL this year

Yeah that might be the case but tonight his kicking game has been the easiest for the Eels to read.

Is it 'eat a bag of dicks'? lol.

The Cows are without doubt the big boys of QLD Rugby League now and will be for some time to come

Parra didn't shit the bed, we just lack class, especially in the forwards. That means we need to shift the ball, which means we make more errors. With guys like Taumalolo and Hess the Cowboys didn't need to take any risks. That makes it easy to complete sets and dominate possession.

Moreso,it seemed like everything they prepared for,was left in the shed.Ball security,and general discipline in other aspects of their game simply looked forgotten.

The telling factor that really underlines this defeat is the point that all of the Parra tries were fortuitous.The forward progress at times was sound,only to be brought undone by frustrating mistakes. This is what you can say was one of the worst of their finals appearances.

Why do so many parra fans have a hard on over last week? 2 try's against 12 and a strong finish due to HIA rorting and still lost nothing to be proud of imo

The Storm push the rules all the time and usually get away with it. Last week they had a bloke sin binned to everyone's surprise. But the Eels matched them last week, in Melbourne of all places. It was three tries each. Tonight it was three tries to four. Parra have had a good finals series. We've probably played the two grand finalists in successive weeks.

He's had a great season, and will have another great season next year.

Mate he is a flat tracker....when the tuff get going gutter scum goes missing

You play to your strengths and one of ours is long range tries. The Cowboys chase kicks very hard, which makes them vulnerable to having their kicks returned for four pointers.

We were hanging in there until our third string fullback let a bomb bounce and was stripped for a try. From that point we were behind on the scoreboard and needed to start throwing the ball around. If we'd tried to grind back in front we would've lost anyway.

I didn't blame last week's loss to Penrith but Manly's crap play. Moreso the referees.

Geez I hate a non NSW Grand Final.

So go the Roosters as I go for chemotherapy and a frontal lobotomy

Off the back of no go forward every half 'goes missing'.

 

[Bazal]

when the tuff get going gutter scum goes missing

I'm not quite sure you've got that particular idiom quite right....

credit to the cows for playing zero risk football, the best kryptonite vs our footy, they defend well play high % never drop the ball took advantage of our 2 prop rotation we were spent. no doubt the other 3 teams in the comp are breathing a sigh of relief.

all in all well done to our boys, they can keep their head high no one expected us to even make the 8 and to get this far without gutho bevo and tepai this game and still be favourites is a massive acheivement despite the result.

if anything losing tonight keeps the pressure on the club to improve the player roster further and improve against next season.

Roosters aren't breathing a sigh of relief at all.

What? Everyone's surprise? Melbourne have had more sin bins then anyone this year. As for matching Melbourne, the only time they looked threatening is when Melbourne were down a man. Their other try came from a bit of luck and a forward pass

100% they'd have much rather line up against your mob

You seem to really struggle to give him any credit.

Did he cut your grass once?

The f**k are you on about? Morgan chip kicked to the winger which went over the sideline and TMM was throwing some brazen blind side passes on the 5th.
