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

[hindy111]

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.

He played wing a few times for Penrith and was rubbish.....

It may very well play out that way.
Only due to injury. "Sixties" is no legend for predicting it. BA wouldn't have done that.

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.

Mate nobody has questioned BA more than me but tonight’s loss was not his fault. Losing our winger killed us and on the poor bastard’s birthday too. The key is to win next week and if we do just getting to the preliminary is a huge effort from all including Arthur. And if we make the GF I’ll be ecstatic to put $500 on the bar so I can buy most of you at least one drink.

Crunch time will be mid next year for BA not now. He has done enough in 2020 and may need some reinforcements particularly with a change of assistant coaches.

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

End of 2016 we lost Foran,Jnr and Pears due to salary cap.

We finished 4,16,5,3
It could of been no top 8 for 4 yrs so its reasonable effort.

I said a few weeks ago that we need a genuine speedster and got shot down by a few. Anyone doubting it now?
In fact, in my opinion, we are actually 2 players away from being able to compete at the level the Storm and Roosters have displayed consistently for the last few years.
We need an out and out speedster who can break the line and also take advantage of the offloads our forwards generate (think Brian Kelly, Katoni Staggs, etc.) and we need one more bench forward who doesn't diminish the impact that Paulo and RCG create. Someone like Welch who we have tried to get before.
Get the final pieces into the puzzle and see if the problem is the coach or not.

I'll have a Hendricks gin double shot.

Need a 2nd rower who can break line. Matto is good but doesn't bust line.

Then why not just release some garbage and go after Addo Carr ?

We have 5 off contract in 28 days mate.

 

[emjaycee]

Cmon mate. This is one of the lowest post I've read on here since I joined in 2009......

Lowest I've read since 2006.

On the flip side I had 2 girls in my bed while I watched the game.

I hope they were of legal age?

 

[JokerEel]

If you are angry with our side after that game go take a few days off..

We started well lost some players to injury and didnt let them blow us away..

On to next week!

I basically said all this. He is an okay coach. We should be trying to get Bellamy, Robinson or Bennett is all I am saying, we need those coaches more than those clubs, We should be doing everything we can to get them.

 

[Rocket man]

We can't defend 6 again calls. We need to clear the ruck especially late in the count.
It's better to defend 2 or 3 tackles than give a show set away.
We're our own enemies when it comes to this!

Jebaz.
Details?!?

 

[Avenger]

I’m talking more like players on serious money and tapping them on the shoulder with a year to run on their contract. Sivo, Moses and Sivo immediately come to mind.

Or the smear.

 

[Mr Parramatta]

Because you got f**ken personal about something that is none of your f**ken business.
This is a footy forum you f**kwit, not somewhere people come to have f**ktards make comments about their personal life.

Maybe u should go back and have a look at couple of posts u directed at me, finishing with R U OK, you are a colossal hypocrite!!!

 

[Tooooks]

Let’s just leave the personal insults to shittier forums guys. I’d like to think we’re better than that here.

Our wingers are far too slow. Sivo is 110kg ffs. He MAY be quick for his size but he’s slow for a back. And his hit ups are way less effective that 88 kilo Addo Carr (and 80kg Papenhuysen for that matter). Poor old Fergo has played a year too long and has another to go, unfortunately.
