Post game discussion v panthers

[Poupou Escobar]

So how has Des got Manly firing? They’re worse off than us, with far more injury concerns...and yet they play with attitude, commitment and skill level far beyond the team list they are trotting out each week.

f**ken jinxed Des you prick. Now he's USELESS!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Honestly mate, you just sound like an idiot with all these so called facts!

If you think facts are stupid you should see how your opinions are looking.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The new 2019 excuse is we are inexperienced and keep playing strong rosters who spend more on their teams than we do.

If only Bea Arthur game plans were as half as creative as Pou.

The teams who spend more on players for sure are the Storm, Roosters, Broncos and Cowboys. We've played three of those and lost them all. In the rest of our games we're five from eight. That's not too bad.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Have you considered that 2 of the 3 losses were against teams struggling, and that one has been absolutely diabolical?

It's irrelevant that they were struggling. That shit can turn around in an instant, especially against us.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We all accept mediocrity dingbat. If we didn’t, we’d all be posting in the Storm thread.

The team for merkins who follow soccer teams like Manchester United even though they've never been to f**ken Manchester.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So Maloney,Yeo and DWZ all missing. Could argue 3 of their best?
They lost Blake for the 2nd half and The vicous fish for the bulk of it also.

5 of their best not there for 2nd half and still trounced us. This is scary signs guys.

Trounced us? They scored from a forward pass (which was their only line break) and a kick that ricocheted off a merkin's leg.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Hindy is absolutely correct. The Panthers made easy meters somtimes 70m per set and kept us pinned to our line.

We made almost as many metres as they did you f**ken idiot.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Commentators on 9 constantly saying Parra have nothing. Just one out runs and your not winning games in the nrl like that. A fee sets we where working it off line and getting pounded. Steele made the point smart teams will go wide or turn a few inside balls. Parra just use the same identical block plays they have for 5 yrs. Not good enough.

We tried to go wide and kept dropping the ball. And we've hardly used block plays this year. We had the worst attack in the comp last year. If you don't think it's improved this year you're not watching.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Have a listen to BAs Presser Hindy. Hes actually complaining the players didnt do more of the head down bum up stuff.

It's true. I posted during the game they needed to stop passing the ball: here

 

[Poupou Escobar]

When BA says that we need to be prepared to get into the grind, does he mean more runs one of the ruck with no support where our forwards get smashed and go nowhere?

It means not passing the ball to men under pressure. Go up the middle if they're pushing hard out wide and make them do some work without the reward of us dropping the ball. See how good their line speed is when they're having to make some tackles.

Mansour and To'o killed us through the middle. When did they ever receive the ball on the end of a shift? Meanwhile our outside backs were generally out wide waiting to run into space. They should've been running through the middle causing problems with their footwork. When they did they got quick play-the-balls.

And when we shifted right where Penrith's defence was weakest Ferguson dropped the f**king ball.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It was only the 2nd half of the dragons game we have looked like a first grade. The other 4 games have been garbage displays.

lol

Unless we score four tries in a half of football we're garbage. I hope you merkins have such high standards in real life.

We all accept mediocrity dingbat. If we didn’t, we’d all be posting in the Storm thread.

Well said. This should be the response any time some f**kwit says that a person exploring the other side to an argument 'accepts mediocrity'.

 

[Gary Gutful]

f**k off Pou, seriously f**k off. Where the f**k do you get the energy you apologist loser?

Yeah, we just want to be a bunch of geniused whiny f**ken dribblers, whinging like a pathetic f**ken clueless pelicans.

We don't want to be held accountable for any of our emotional, off the cuff horseshit statements that make anyone with a modicum of intelligence laugh.

Please stop exploring the other side of the argument and highlighting that we are completely incapable of constructing sensible, logical positions on issues of importance.

It's cramping our style man!

Mate I’m “small cheese” compared to a legend like you!

Out of curiosity, the try from the forward pass last night........why can't the video ref rule on that particular scenario as sure the pass was forward and you can't rule on that but why can't they rule on off-side, cause the Penrith player was in front of the passer when he threw the ball.......easy get out of jail free card for the bunker?

On the scale of poor misses of a forward pass for a try, that was in the top echelon of f**k ups and the NRL just look like amateurs the more times it happen, especially clangers like that one.

Absolutely. How many times has the VR overturned a decision against us? Plenty. When we need one because the ref or touchy got it wrong it never happens.

Also in the second half the ref called a forward pass against the panthers right in front of me. The touchy, who was right in line, was happy to let it go. What the f**k are these guys looking at???

 

[Happy MEel]

f**ken jinxed Des you prick. Now he's USELESS!

It’s a gift....and a curse

 

[emjaycee]

We never challenge Match Review Gradings.
We never mention absolute clangers in post match conferences.
Its fair to say the NRL know our club just puts up with whatever.
The squeaky wheel gets the oil.

This is probably because if we tried to be a squeaky wheel we would be labelled whinging loosers, whereas because the Storm, Rooster, Bunnies, etc. are 'expected' to win, when their coach has a whinge, or they challenge something at the MRC, they are looked at in a different light.

Are you suggesting that BA's claim that we didn't push up the middle and get into the grind even though he wanted them to and that having identified their weakest area (i.e their left side defence) we swung the ball there only to fail in the execution is the reason we lost the game?

That is utter blasphemy - BA is a shit coach and couldn't develop an under 11's game plan. How dare you suggest that he knew what we needed to do to win this game and that the players ability to execute that plan was at fault. Shame on you Poupou Escobar, shame on you!!

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

You're going to be pretty embarrassed if he wasn't suggesting that at all.
