Qualifying final 2020: Parra v Storm GAME DAY thread (3/10/20)

[Avenger]

We should try to get a new coach. I like Brad he is an okay coach but that is it. He isn't better than okay. Obviously Bellamy, Robinson, Bennett would be upgrades but also if they could get someone like Holbrook.

FFS, it’s not the right time to be talking about coaches. We are still in this up to our balls.

 

[Gronk]

Marata likely to miss a week too

Jenkovic caught a merkin high again ?

BTW Kikau might miss a game for a flip past horizontal. Will Camillions even get a mention by the MRC ?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Likewise. I’m very comfortable with where we are at. I’d never want to play an experienced side like the Roosters or Canberra in the preliminary final. Give me a young side like Penrith who will be under extreme pressure and may come in a little clunky after the week off.

And hopefully WK out to ....

Kikau could be in trouble.

Smith’s was nothing as was Jenko’s.

To be honest Sivo has been atrocious for 3 months, George Jennings has been better playing for the Warriors. We probably actually improve with Sivo out of the team.

Fergo does some good things and some shit things. if someone comes in and doesn't do his shit things it should negate any of the good things.

Waqa, Taka and a couple of Jennings are good enough to get it done. In some ways, if Blake is on the wing, things might improve.

In fact “Sixties” from the TCT has been saying for weeks that Waqa is a winger and BA should drop Sivo and put Waqa out there. Looks like it will play out.

Possession killed us. It’s a skill to get those 6 agains.

And we need to practice our one-on-one strips.
Twice we gave up the ball tonight.

Well those are very low hanging balls.
Now is the time to talk about it. We have gone toe to toe with a great coach and can see how far away we are.

I reckon that wasn't too bad.

Our edges are vulnerable but they always are as we play a compressed defense. On top of that, we lose both wingers and only go down by 12.

The best thing is that we kept playing football all game. Kept making good metres, kept offloading.

Play like that next week and we'll advance to face the Panthers.

For mine - George and Dunster next week. Or do we play Rankin?

Unsure.
When we got to 18 all Mahoney put in a horror kick. Gave them momentum again.
I felt Storm owned us from the 30th minute. We almost got to 18-0. Had we managed that it may of been different. Did we deserve to win? I don't think so. We lack genuine speed. But are Storm beatable. Well we managed w4 points and I felt should of had 30...

Not a chance.

I am down with that as I certainly agree he isn't a centre.

Muthuf**kers

4yrs and finally a decent comment by you.

I’d like to see a stat on how many we have given away throughout the year. Compared to most teams I reckon we’d be quite high. Means we have loose carries and can’t recognize when there is only one in the tackle.

 

[hindy111]

panthers are primed for a choke ....

I feel like Panthers will meet Rooster in grand final.

 

[Bazal]

There are two coaches objectively better in the NRL and they ain't coming to Parra. Everyone's fap-buddy Holbrook has done nothing but win for a month as a nuisance side.

Fair play if an objectively better coach comes up, but you're better off in the cave with dumb ideas about quadrants and shit

I find it difficult to believe anyone at TCT would say anything against anyone involved at the club, but I'm happy to take your word for it.

A great coach with a million a season more to spend under the cap due to third party deals.

Needs his long kicking license revoked. And his crash ball license.

 

[Soto]

Jennings bros on the left and Taka and Waqa on the right...with Waqa on the wing.
If we are completely honest Sivos hitups have been non existent and Fergo has become a liability with his errors.
I'm not at all concerned having G Jennings and Taka/Waqa as wingers. I think we will get better hitups. I think Nuikore will be given a week or two as well. Kaufusi straight in..
We are not out of this yet...

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

I'm feeling proud.

Boys did well.

Ferguson's brain snap was the turning point

If they can cut out those dopey moments, they can surprise everyone.

 

[hindy111]

f**king Lol. Another "If we'd done this or that?".
Loser.

Agree. Storm butchered 5 tries also.

We went well for 30mins. After that I didn't feel like we where in it at all regardless of scoreline.
