Game Day - vs Dogs

[Noise]

Only we had no one to replace him with lol

The Reynolds thing was a joke ... he stays down like he's been shot then he needs to come off immediately.

The cases where players come off later are when he doesnt act like hes dead

Didn't Junior come on for him?
As long as the NRL rules encourages players to lay down it is going to keep on happening. Every team takes dives and every team takes the piss out of the concussion interchange rule. It is embarrassing but until the NRL come up with a solution I'm not going to blame the players or coaches because they all do it, including us.

 

[strider]

Yeah i think junior came on ... i was joking ... but we had more than the usual number of interchanges up our sleaves last night due to the lack of players


I agree it will be taken advanatge of ... but i hate diving and i think it should be a given that if you dive for a head hit and go on like you are knocked out, then you must immediately come from the field ... the price of diving

It shits me too. I reckon the only way to stop it would be to stop the video ref being able to review it. If there is no review players won't lay down. Let the 2 refs and 2 touch judges look out for the penalties. The bunker should only be used for in goal/try decisions

Dogs could be in a bit of trouble over the Reynolds incident

 

[oldmancraigy]

Random observation from the game:

They sweep play where Toutai drops it on the overlap was highly highly impressive. It ran smoothly with Taka at 5/8, Mau at center and Gutherson in the FB spot.

Really a big testament to the coaching staff doing the 1%ers at training with different guys running different plays. They all knew what to do and it almost worked wonders.
Pretty impressive on Taka's part as well to call the play and organise the troops.


I know it came to nothing, but nice to be a good team who can overcome multiple setbacks.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I think we send the odd player into the dressing rooms for a concussion test just to get a free interchange.

#guilty

I think we do too.

And WTF were they going to do with a penalty anyway? They were eight points down. Sure they got to reset their attack with a fresh set of six, but we were fingered at the time, and the rest surely benefited us more than the restart did them. They were only on about the third tackle.

:lol: I don't think Josh Reynolds is the most forward thinking bloke on the planet.

Very true

I also think it shows how players are inclinded to lay down as first instinct these days

Like soccer?

 

[Gazzamatta]

And what about the way Graham carried on after Reynolds was shot by the sniper from the grandstand. Was he calling for a priest to deliver the last rights? Do they actually train for these situations. Very well scripted.
While on Graham. Is this bloke the most overated forward in the game. Parras forwards owned him in both games this year.

I'd take him in a heartbeat. It's true he wasn't dominant last night, but he did make 48 tackles in 55 minutes on the field (and still managed 120m).

 

[Gazzamatta]

I'd take him in a heartbeat.

He'd want as much as Paulo will be getting. Could get Boyd and Vaughn for his money. Sorry I just dontoget what he brings now days. 2 seasons ago maybe but not now.

Oh I agree that he may not be value at whatever he'd ask (which would be more than Paulo I'd think). But he looks like a BA style player to me and he just doesn't stop.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

A year or so ago BA was asked if he could sign any player who would it be, he said Graham.

Still think he is a great player but the dogs are using him as a defacto half back, so he is trying to do to much. If he went back to purely a prop style game, I reckon he would be brillant !! Would love to have him in our side.

Yep. How often does a prop make 48 tackles in 55 minutes?

 

[^b0ss^]

So after reading foran was out i thought it was a must go to game,so myself and the brother law took the kids to the game.So before kick off when the players run out for warm up i noticed timmy M out there and thought owwww.
then i noticed tepi and pitchard in there normal gear just a big shout out to those two, they stayed out from warm up to kick off signing autographs for the kids and laughing with the fans you could tell they were really happy doing it.
Was a great come from behind win.

Are you inferring that all Parra supporters are unemployed?

* implying

To infer is to deduce from evidence presented.

Sorry - I'm OCD about English, and this is a pet peeve of mine.
