QF 1 VS Parramatta

[Munky]

Ivan going full conservative team selection again.

Did it voluntarily in 2020 and forced in 2021.

Just can't help himself.

What do you mean; I think Api off the bench is the aggressive play?

Only reason I'm not stressed is we lost this game last year and it worked out in the end. Its kind of hard to know if being fresh will help or hurt us. But luckily if it hurts we get to make up for it next week and will be better for the run.

I'd rather win obviously. But next game is when stress sets in.

He shifted Naden to the bench in 2020 and Staines straight out of the side in 2021 to stiffen the defence.

I imagine Kenny is starting to take the initial slog in the first twenty minutes.

Moses with a kicking masterclass so far.

Nathan needs to step up.. every bomb is landing on the 20 or some on the 30. Not good enough.

His bombs have been great. Waqa isn't getting near them.

Other than the two turnovers that it created............

Nathan so far has forced 2 drop balls one leading to a try, and kicked a field goal.

Moses has forced 1 error and 2 drop outs. Also missed his field goal attempt.

Not sure that even gives Moses the edge, forget talk of a masterclass.

We will need to score at least 2 more to win this parra always has a fluke try in them

Nathans bombs landing on the 20 some the 30. We need to force them to start from their 10m line.

Basic footy.

 

[Girds89]

Hahaha you for real?

Yep..

Do the basic footy right.

All good if your going to do the floaters every bomb....

But hes done 4.... all game.. 4 floaters. 2 knock ons waqa other 2 caused problems for gutho.

Other bombs just landed back on the 20 or 30 and by tackle 2 they are on our 50.

Very simple footy.

Moses has absolutkey nailed hes long early kicks and it put us under sooo much pressure

 

[The Realist]

Edwards with an Dyl clanger gifted Parra field position after we had them pinned.

Ivan too late to change Fish out was partially responsible for that Parra try though to be honest it was well constructed by them.

Their plan is obviously to play us straight threw the middle. Early on we were hammering them. Last 15 mins or so they started opening us up.

Should be an interesting 2nd 1/2.

Moses bombs have been rubbish in comparison to Nathan's.
Overall Penrith have dominated and looked more dangerous. Parra attack looks clunky and a bit clueless at times. But its anyone's game still and considering Penrith dominated Parra should be happy it's so close and take confidence in that.
I feel Parra are playing far to safe but perhaps that's the game plan and they'll begin to open up in the 2nd half. Matterson been their difference and Reed is having a great game for a change.
Waqa I pointed out weeks ago isn't a winger based on his inability under the high ball. Looks clueless.

Let's hope it goes down to the wire.

Poor discipline that half, we keep giving good field possession - can’t stop gifting the game away

 

[Girds89]

Wow..... a nice grass finder from nath landing on the try line bringa an error......

 

[Smug Panther]

Stop those bombs @Girds89 ?

Well this aged well........

 

[Girds89]
