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

[Lemon Squash]

Ben and Jake ran for 37 and 46 meters...

Elite my ass Turbo ain't winning a competition with this bunch of plodders in the team...

Jurbo had 4 hit ups in 80 minutes… that is absolutely pathetic but he’s a good bloke so nothing to see here.

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.

Deepest condolences mate. RIP and may his memory be eternal

Jake Cheeseburger is a Lazy tub of shit, him stopping in the line probably cost them the game. But but but but but but but he's a great bloke.

I saw Nrown squirt his water bottle onto Murph when they walking past each other on the bench when Nrown came off in the 2nd half.

Murph was giggling as he kept walking.

Clearly still some respect there.

Murph hates Jake Arthur’s guts too?

Probably Browny thinking "How has that dumb merkin still got a job"

Sorry to hear Pou. Glad the boys got up to honour your old man. Any divine intervention he could provide for the rest of the season would be greatly appreciated.

Good mate, you can watch it there if you like. I'll go the pub.

You will be sorely missed.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

They keep going on and on about it. The rule is black and white. Always has been.

Just watching the replay, fair dinkum they went on for another 10 minutes. Do they know the rule book? And its irrelevant if Moretti wasnt going to get him, but who knows if he wouldve chased him down.

I bet they would agree with the rule if it wasnt Tom T making the break.

 

[Sensei Cobra]

The whole north and south ends are $30. Watching footy from behind the goal posts is actually the best way to see the spacing and plays forming.

You can buy a family pass for $75 …less than $20 each and there is no restriction on age

great value

 

[Sensei Cobra]

Agreed, get rid of the Enter Sandman remix crap.

Love the sandman as they run out

Forward pass from turbo to interKoula in any case

Yeah but have you thought about what his intention was? We were told last week rules should be disregarded because the player doesn't have the intention to do so. Any panther fans want to come in and comment on this week's ruling?

 

[oldmancraigy]

I think some of you are a bit harsh on Blaize.

He looked like he belonged. A few errors (one howler), but his winger is the slowest guy in the NRL, not sure why you're expecting a first gamer to cover for him?

If we managed to beat a red-hot Manly side with him there, then give him another game against the Tiggles. He won't become a better C by playing fullback for Cayless.

Sivo and Harper should be the combo in Cup. Put Simmonson outside Blaize for next week and see how he goes. A other 10 games for Blaize and he'll start getting up to speed. He has WAY more to offer than any other option at the spot right now.


@Poupou Escobar sorry to hear your news. That's hard. Hopefully the boys go on to win a premiership for him this year

So sorry mate.

 

[Gronk]

After reading this thread, everyone has basically said what we thought at the ground.

a) that possession just had to swing back to normal and then we could have a crack.
b) that their RH attack is as lethal as Souths LH. f**k it’s sweet to watch DCE and Turbo.
c) that every time turbo touches the ball, something dangerous happens. He is really good.
d) that our bench was far superior. We grew an extra leg, whilst their fatigue grew.
e) that a few times (especially just prior to the Kelma try) where we flicked a switch and bashed them and that swung momentum.

 

[Jake the snake]

@Poupou Escobar my condolences to you and your family in this hard time.

 

[hineyrulz]

@Poupou Escobar if you can read this I’m sorry to hear about your old man. It’s always a shock to lose a parent now matter what your age.

That said how good is Paulo looking?? He’s look like peak Junior his toe must of really been bothering him last year.

 

[Stagger eel]

what a tough, gritty resilient win….one of the best I’ve seen at Commbank despite the make up of our side.
The kid did real well I thought but he is simply not ready for the week to week grind but he came a long way to being a regular yesterday….
some of the comments at 14-0 was absolutely gold…

anyway god bless ya @Poupou Escobar …my condolences to ya mate…I’m glad we had a win for him yesterday.
