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

[hineyrulz]

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.

BA didn’t buy him a dog either???

It absolutely doesn’t work like that?

Maybe it works like that sometimes.

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

Gazza Gazza Gazza. Why you spending so much time on the forums on your 45 year anniversary

Missus went out and left me. She knows footy comes first. Good woman that one.

Not ashamed to admit I shed a tear last night at the conclusion. This club absolutely puts you through the wringer and I just felt that there was a bloody good chance the Cows would score on the bell because that’s how things usually play out for Parramatta.

So proud to be in the big dance. Bought a ticket last night. Look forward to having a few frothies with some of you next weekend hopefully.

I’m keen mate. We’ll put something out about pre-game beers towards the end of the week.

RCGs first try was interesting. Last week we ran a similar play with Matto passing to Junior. This week we've run the same play, but instead went with a face ball across Junior to RCG into a big hole, which was created when Townsend came in because he thought it was going to Junior. Good play really.

We were virtually making breaks or scoring at will once we got into their half though. If we'd not made as many unforced errors to give ourselves more opportunities in the first half, we really could have a big lead at half time.

What about ices break and shit pass

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

Reg's lack of a consistent offload puts a dampener on an otherwise exemplary prop forward.

Ironically, the biggest arsehole troll in NRL twitter world, felt the need to put him in his place.

The moment he said we would get lapped by 40 next week I knew he was bitter, pissed drunk and lost a lot of dough on the cowboys. Lost of perspective.

Tbf Moses had excuses but the performance did give his harshest critics an excuse to claim he doesn't deliver in big games.

Thankfully Mitch gets a chance this week to silence them again. And he won't play that bad again.

OK so he kicked two out on the full, but that was from kick pressure when we were still in our own half on the 5th tackle. As much as the buck stops with Moses, it’s a team effort to only gain 30m in a set and then not protect your kicker.

I wouldn’t swap him for anyone and I expect that this will be the start of a week of bagging Gutho, Mitch, the TLT list, our rotations and 1,000 other reasons why we will lose. Then if we do, it will an opportunity lost, a choke, another cinderella moment, a cleanout, shit culture, rifts, curses because we lost against a Usain Bolt vs Matt Shirvington short odds fav.

Lap it up Parra you are the underdogs, the city favourite, the sentimental rugby league world favourite. You’ve got nothing to lose, so roll the dice, take a risk and leave nothing in the tank.

Moses didn't have the best game, but he coulda easily gone into his shell and stop playing footy like say Walker did last night after To'o made him his bitch, but he didn't, he kept turning up.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

I still don't understand how the Cowboys died in the arse so badly. Did they frontload their effort areas too much?

Didn't acclimatise to the weather. I heard it was going to be a hundred degrees and a thousand percent humidity.

I think there was a lot of poor kicks on top of out on the full. Or perhaps very average kicks would be better way to describe.
I mean how many great kicks? Very few. When he isnon 80% are great.

I'd check you're sources mate. Those figures just seem completely unbelievable. I use weatherzone personally. Do you know how to download an app on your smart phone?

 

[strider]

So we still won without one of our strengths (moses' kicking game) .... we will be pretty good when he gets it right next week

I can't believe we didn't see drown pop up on the right a few times. Worked so well against the raiders.

I reckon after those two poor kicks he readjusted and went back to just getting his kicking game right rather than risk further error with putting up kicks like those torpedo floaters which always carry an element of risk given how you have to kick the ball.

That to me is a sign of maturity, knowing when to pull the trigger and when to pull it back and concentrate on the basics.

That 1st kick in the 2nd half was very timid from memory.

He got it on the 10m line but it was like a gentle kick put up with no power or spin in it.
