Rd 9: Parramatta v Storm LIVE GAME DAY Thread 11th May 2019

[hindy111]

So after getting 64 points put on us, we replace a good defender with a terrible one....

Id drop Taka as well
Smith brings some attack and that is the best form of defense.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

The only coach available that could do a better job is a lying cheating merkin with no self awareness.

I think he could do a good job with us (and yes probably the only one available that could), he probably didn’t have much checks / balances at the sharks which he wouId have with us, so less chances of f**king up.

I reckon a 2 year BA deal while monitoring his situation wouldn’t be a bad option.

NRL probably wouIdnt register him just yet and it’s probably corporate suicide signing him.

However we could sack BA after next year if we don’t improve satisfactory and sign him in 2021 if needed.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Id drop Taka as well
Smith brings some attack and that is the best form of defense.

However it’s not our attack which is the problem but our defence, what difference wouId Smith make to our attack? He is a runner not really a ball player and Salmon’s main criticism is he isn’t a good ball player.

 

[Suitman]

On a positive note, I’m sure we won’t hear Kent and co banging on about re-signing BA and gutho and so on.

No, Kent will bang on about the fact that we HAVEN'T re-signed them and how it is unsettling the team harmony.
Anything for a headline.

Boys, I'm seriously considering supporting the Melbourne Storm after tonight. I'm surprised nobody else has contemplated the same thing, they are truly amazing. I could barely lift my mouth off the floor to sip some whisky after that performance.

Better than Broadway!

I might have to stop by the Rectangular Stadium on my next business trip

*Sips whisky*

Cheers

Anyhow, anyone thinking they are having a bad night, my wife isn’t impressed with me watching the footy on my wedding anniversary and my son who is a storm supporter keeps on asking me what was the score ...,

Need another drink ...

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I mean, I know we are a middle of the road team and everything...but conceding 60 points?

I honestly don't know if I have the intestinal fortitude to do this to myself any more...

It’s f**ken terrible but 4 tries did come when we had 12 on the field.

Oof, how’d you end up raising a Storm supporter?

The f**kers keep on winning and kids like winners !!

Tbh, I didn't watch the game.

I was all set, and got into a massive blue with my wife.

Checked the score with 5 minutes to go, and literally felt sick.

 

[Happy MEel]

Lol what? Nowhere does that even remotely imply fault. I said he was a downhill skier, not that he lost us the game. I didn't even mention tonight's game

I presume you know what a downhill skier is? For Moses to be a downhill skier, the side would already have to be performing poorly, so I don't know how you can read into that that Moses was being blamed...

You seem to be doing a fantastic job of reading what you want to read tonight.

I’m not sure you realise what a downhill skier is.

Downhill skiers perform when everything is in their favour. Peni terepo is a prime example.

Last week we were up against it in the first half and moses was instrumental in winning us the game.

Hence, he was “uphill skiing”.

I literally can’t relate to that.

You and the missus okay now mate?

Come on Dad - you ain't doing your job.
I brought my son up following the Eels, Newcastle United in the EPL and the Wanderers. At least he has seen one team have a little bit of success but he still follows the other two, despite the shite that he has copped at school.

Wish I didn’t watch it too!!

 

[Eelementary]

Umm, sort of...

Probably not really the place for it (don't want to clog up the footy thread with non-footy stuff), but we have made up, but there are still underlying issues.

She is a very good woman, though, so I am lucky.

Don't know how much longer she can tolerate me, though!

 

[Eelementary]

Wish I didn’t watch it too!!

I can only imagine!

I seriously felt, prior to the game, that we were in with a chance to win!

 

[Happy MEel]

From tonights team I would keep: Moses, Gutho, Fergo, Sivo, Lane, Mahoney, Kaufusi
Add in Dylan Brown.

Not sure about anyone else to be honest.

I concur but I’d also keep Marata, Mannah, Paulo, Mau, Alvaro And possibly Jennings. The rest I’d be offering close to minimum and if they can get a better deal elsewhere they can take it.

I don’t think we’re far off but we have too many players who are not consistent first graders to challenge for the title. We upgrade these positions, have our coach make sensible decisions and I think we are a shot.

Paulo is under contract.
I like Alvaro but he doesn't offer anything special. With 76 games under his belt, he should be offering more than just solid defence.
Same with Manu and I want to see Marata do more than just run and tackle.
Who is our Radley, Crichton, SBurgess, Soliola, Bateman, Tapau, Jake T, etc..?

 

[Happy MEel]

Paulo is under contract.
I like Alvaro but he doesn't offer anything. With 76 games under his belt, he should be offering more than just solid defence.

I think last year he was offering more in attack. The extra weight has been a burden. I’d like to see him strip off those 5 or 6 kegs and see how he goes again.
