So i am going to play devils advocate here re the 1st paragragh.

If that is meant to be Brad's one bake of the year and the players don't respond this week, has he lost the dressing room?

Yep looks that way, we are screwed.


At least BA is finally talking to somebody.

He's not even the backup kicker. He's really the third choice.
Our number one (or possibly number two this year) kicker is Gutherson.

Even still, that was a shocking miss. Probably could have given Timmy the kick and he would have potted that one over. I do hear Ma'u has kicked a few at training.

He obviously is the backup kicker while Gutho is absent and that could be for one third of the season. A team cant afford to give away 2 points like that. Very poor attention to detail either by Norman or the coaching staff. All the 1 percenters they rave on about. There was one right there.

Nobody seems to have noticed but Moses should not have been allowed to take the shot at goal for Hoffman's 2nd try.
He was not on the field when the try was scored.
Bet it would have come to Penrith's attention if he had kicked it and Parra won by 2

It was round 1 mate. We go on to win the next 2/3 in a row no one will give a shit and be begging management to sign BA for life.

I think after a very clinical trial against Newcastle we got a bit complacent round 1. I think this week we will see a much more clinical and composed Parra side.

I noticed that as well.
Was dreading having Norman kick again, then was surprised when I saw Moses grab the ball. Bit f**ken cheeky.

He missed anyway, so it didn't really matter in the end.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall for one of BA's sprays. I picture him as the ruthless Major Payne style...

@hindy111 has been on the end of Gould's sprays

I picked up this at the time as well. I just assumed he must have got on just before the try though when he took the kick. I wonder if (as I think most likely) that the refs just f*cked up or if due to being off for hia had different rules when it comes to taking the kick if you were not on the field when the try was scored

Checkout the angle of the players pinky’s, that should give it away

I actually agree with you but thought i would throw it out there.

That is why i said "devil's advocate".

Oh great. Peter Fitzsimmons has an opinion about Jarryd Hayne.

Hayne isn’t special there. Fitzsimmons has an opinion on everything

 

[Twizzle]

pretty easy to take pot shots at one player when the whole team was garbage

slow news day

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Hayne's defence was really f**king bad on the weekend. Our backs weren't actually too bad otherwise.

Sulking cause he wants to be fullback Poo? Well by all reports its worked. God I hope he performs. I really dont want to repeat that I never wanted him back as I'm rarely right now days.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The upside of him playing fullback is he gets the ball in his hands more often. The downside is that we lose a support player.

Hang on, when Hayne is at fullback we suddenly lose a support player. However, when @Noise criticises French at fullback, specifically mentioning his lack of support play so far in this comment:

Isn't that the main reason French is our fullback? Because he is suppose to be constantly pushing up in support? Something that Hayne can't do? I know he can't do it all the time but he was never there.

If that is not French's job then I have no idea why he is fullback. Because his running game, passing game, kicking game, one on one defence and footy iq is no where near as good as Hayne's.

your response is:

It's actually the dummy half's job.

Whose responsibility is it?

The dummy half supports around the middle forwards, while the fullback supports around the halves and edge forwards.

I’d say it’s the fullback’s role to follow the ball wherever it is on the park.

 

[84 Baby]

Yeah TBH losing a support player with how we've gone so far is neither here nor there. Unless by support you mean they're telling their teammates how good they look and stuff
