Grand Final Qualifier: Parra v Cowboys GAME DAY THREAD in Townsville 23/9/22

[hindy111]

I reckon he’s a better player than Paulo. But Paulo has rare skills so he stands out more.

Different players. Jnrs as rare a prop as you will find. His defense isn't as good. His impact on a game when on is superior. Aslong as he runs first which he has been of late.

 

[Gazzamatta]

That reading the play dude, was having Meltdown on Twitter, reckons cowboys choked, Moses had shocker and we will get flogged next week……has tipped against us all finals and even had us missing the 8…

There is something seriously wrong this that jerk. I saw the Moses tweet thus morning. I think BA must have driven over his cat.
You dont need a long neck to be a goose.

I haven't heard that one in a long time.
Almost as bad as hard to soar like an eagle when surrounded by turkies

 

[Gazzamatta]

Can’t speak highly enough of him. He’d have to top 2 or 3 props in the game.

Nooooooo! Hass then Tapine then Cotter then Mclane then Papalii then Hargraves then the Safiti brothers then Junior etc, etc.

We missed him more last year then when we miss Paulo.

RCG got Injured at the start of that losing streak in the Hub and look what happened.

He's the merkin that said BA wanted rid of Dylan Brown a few weeks ago. Gold plated twerp.

 

[Incorrect]

Watching Payton with a bloody powerpoint presentation just before kickoff me laugh. The Cowboys players had to sit there nervous instead of getting ready. Bad plan.

Lol. Me and the crew watching were all saying "He's gone full Brian Smith!"...

Never go Full Brian Smith in a finals match!!!

Reg's mobility, agility, and motor, are insane for a guy his size.

He’s no Fuifui Moimoi but he’s fast too.

 

[the phantom menace]

Well put it this way: if Simonsson is dropped for Opacic next week I'll understand why, and I won't think the coach is wrong. Even if we lose.

Ah, so it's back to the value-less riddles then...

 

[Mickyd39]

lol Reg was dumped for Mclean in origin 3, lol @ Freddie.

Fittler is a dunce

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I understand yourself and many others want to see things in black and white terms but the real world doesn't work like that. There's a chance we'll lose regardless of what BA does. Even the best coach could lose next week's grand final with our squad. I'm not going to let you second guess and claim you know better because you would've done something differently. There's no riddles there, just probability. The only value would be in you realising it.

No-one's after black and white - just be brave and have a personal opinion on topics being discussed, like everyone else here does... FFS

You did really well with that one post about how Opacic should come back in the GF side but Simonssen should remain in the 17. Shame that one clear and sensible post looks like a one off...

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Brave's got nothing to do with it. I have shared plenty of opinions and none of them required bravery. But me, an amateur, saying what should occur certainly isn't sensible. I leave that shit to the professionals.

But yes Simonsson was impressive at centre (but probably didn't impress his coach who already knew what he was capable of). It looks like we won't have any problem covering the loss of Opacic next year. These outside backs are all on the books for 2023 and I expect any of them to handle first grade when required:

Sivo
Penisini
Blake
Simonsson
Dunster
Russell

Cini has been dominant in reserve grade too and if he's contracted for next year that's probably another option.

It absolutely doesn’t work like that?

I wasn't old enough to remember 1998 which is a good thing i think.

1998 NRL Premiership - Major Semi - Brisbane Broncos 10 lost to Parramatta Eels 15 - RLP

Match info page for the Brisbane Broncos vs. Parramatta Eels game in the Major Semi of the 1998 NRL season. Eels won 15 to 10 at Queen Elizabeth II Stadium.

He did score though in this game so probably did.

I was there, and so drunk

Reg is a better prop but Paulo is a better footballer??? Junior does shit that no other 120kg merkin can do.
