I noticed that we played parramatta in the first half & had them 20-4 at half time, encouraging
I was going to head out, but had emergency baby sitting duty. I listened to a stream through Parra Facebook page. It was very much a crap effort. They only called the Parra/Wenty team and didn’t even name our try scorers. They called a couple of Souths players they knew. From that it seems Corey Allen and Connor Tracey controlled the first half, with either of those two setting up the tries. The new kid Amone had immediate impact when he came on. On one kickoff he ran it back 20m after breaking a tackle, then Tatola took it for 20 and Amone again for another 20 to be on their 40 after 3 tackles.
We kept the same side for the 2nd 40min so were playing a fresh Wenty side. Old Bears centre Hiroti ran wild through a fatigued Souths side. Unfortunately for Hiroti he got taken off injured.
This 2nd half was basically the callers talking about Parra’s up Coming year. Not much game calling went on. But Souths seemed to be let down by the final pass on many occasions. Corey Allen went the full 80 but they didn’t call many players in the second 40 so I’ve got no idea who else did big minutes.
I’d love to get the story from someone who was at the ground.
