2022 PF Fri - North Qld 20-24 Parramatta @ Queensland Country Bank

[King-Gutho94]

Parra have left me flawed so many times over the years but this one has legit given me PTSD.

I was on a caravanning family holiday somewhere in a tiny country town in NZ when this game was on. We couldn’t find a pub or anywhere showing it so my old man drove to the top of the highest hill in town to get radio reception which was barely audible.

We worked out if we held the aerial on the van in a certain direction it improved the signal so we took turns one of us outside the van holding it as we listened through the window. That was all well and good until you factor in it was absolutely pissing down and about 2 degrees.

Our shifts holding the aerial was only 15 or so minutes at a time because my Mum had concerns we would get hypothermia.

annnnnnd as history shows we got absolutely belted which was the icing on the cake… good times.

I suppose it could have been worse you didn't have to watch the disgraceful performance live.

It's the only game I have left early in and I didn't have a choice as I was 11 at the time Mum and Dad were so disgusted saw enough in 65 mins to decide to get me and my brother back on the train back to Seven Hills before the fulltime siren.

Now that's worthy of PTSD....

And needing to travel to the surface of the sun

Maybe more like Moses leading the ski team at Mt Selwyn and then ducking into the sauna where Todd P is spread eagle ... with his towel on the floor in front of him.

I expect cowboys to win it with the week off and the home ground advantage but parra have a better chance of beating Penrith in the grand final than the cowboys do

payten has done an amazing job turning them around from the rabble they were

 

[Captain Apollo]

Oh so now you're thinking form and the teams themselves might be a bigger factor than the weather?

They are professional players, who gives a shit how hot it is.

The game is also at night.

Sorry but have you actually been to Townsville?

First time I did was for a Cowboys v Roosters game. At kick-off, which was 8.30 pm local time (it was still daylight savings time in Sydney as it was in April, which is the tail end of the wet season) it was 28 degrees and 75% humidity. After I got back to the hotel, I took off my jersey and rang it out. I filled half of the bathroom sink with sweat solely from my jersey

So no matter how professional a player is, the weather will be a big factor for this game. It is how it effects each team, and how the players deal with it, which will go a long way to determining victory.

Lets gone parra.

Now where is the bald cap I was promised when I signed up to the bandwagon?

Did you read the fine print?

Free bald cap does not apply to Raiders and Dragons fans. They're already bald

 

[GongPanther]

For the love of all that's good in the world, I hope the Cowboys get the win.

But then again, the RL world would salivate over a Penrith V Parra GF. The kind of GF that would once and for all determine the bragging rights for eons.

I remember the last time (if memory serves) these two sides played in a prelim you could have heard a mouse fart after about 20 minutes in...29-0.

Was pretty loud in the Cowboys supporters bay. One of the all time great wins by the boys
