Rd 3 2024: Parra v Manly GAME DAY thread @ Commbank Stadium March 24th

[TheCrowe]

It wasn't fortunate, it's how we intend to play.

FFS!
Every team intends to dominate possession.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Isn't it usually snorted?

lol sounds like we need to get you and Harper together OA!!

 

[JokerEel]

SeeBold in the presser saying at 14-0 the refs changed the way they were managing the game.
Haha

loser.

Yeah it's not like the ref put the whistle away when we got that 10 points lead .....

 

[Avenger]

Yes and yes...f#@* manly...
Big forward regardless.
Next week it will sivo and simo
I think Talagi is now next man up.
I will say Harper in the end was really good. Horrid at the start but he fought hard...big ups to him.
Love Moretti on the bench, tuilagi, matto and Paulo...that's what you call power and punch.
I think a decision needs to be made on Joe O...Ogden, Wiremu and Maka would do the same if not better job...
One of the most satisfying wins in a long time...a few work colleagues and clients who are moanly supporters.. fk them too

If you watch closely, Blaize is at fault for those tries against us not Harper. To use Pou's line he is a perfect back up.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Wow wtf!! That’s heartbreaking for Reg and his family my condolences!! He’s been nothing short of outstanding for us since he walked in the door. Glad they could get the win for him!

My old man died yesterday and he was the maddest keenest Parra fan you could meet (except for that bloke with all the Eels merch in his mum's shed). No way was Manly going to beat us today.

Not 100% sure about that 1 of the tries Harper ends up next to Blaize which he did in th second half but we scrambled enough to save that try.

 

[Parra Pride]

It's also Blaize's fault Harper would lose to Stephen Hawking in a foot race.

What? Are you serious?

My condolences Pou to you and all your family mate!!! No way indeed brother no way indeed - sports a funny thing isn’t it? It will always find a way to pick you up when you need it the most! The old fella would’ve been cheering from above!!

We played tough but a few things I didn't like.

Hopgoods silly penalty first defensive set.
Going for 2 when up by 8 and had heaps of ball.
Brown giving Lane a tough pass in red zone on 3rd which he dropped.
Gutherson doing a short drop out when up by 10.

Fix some of these little things and we win by 13+

Moses short kicks twice on the second tackle wernt great ideas either.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Also was unaware until BA’s presser that RCGs brother died during the week, and he refused to pull out.

champion bloke.

Reg is the greatest thing to come out of Penrith.

He should be looked after post career by the club he is a parra legend even if he hasn't played 100 games for us yet.

His impact had been massive

 

[JokerEel]

BTW that Morgan Harper try was nice .

If you were at the stadium during warmup he absolutely stuffed it when they practiced it

Haha he almost stuffed it with his outside arm going into touch in the game too haha

 

[Noise]

Any word on Cartwrights injury?

Practice makes perfect. Harper had some really good carries in the end. Got the penalty, scored a nice try and scrambled really well..he's just not quick enough but he can do a job for us.
Him and Blaize will be fighting it out when an outside back is required next time

I actually don't mind going for 2 when up by 8 especially against a team who is capable of nailing a 2pt field goal...
The other thing is it definitely means they need to score 2 tries..
Agree with all the other stuff though

 

[King-Gutho94]

Emu Plains ???
