Rd1 2024: 530pm Parra v Dogs GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank Stadium (sold out) March 9th

[Soto]

Hopefully if Harper sticks at centre he creates more opportunities for the winger outside him

Great to carry a utility on the bench. Simonsson used to fill that role a fair bit at the roiders. However we go Hands or play 4 forwards with big Wiremu back in when fit.
Hopgood can cover hooker and Carty and Kelma can cover centre.
Carty and Matto can cover halves if need be.
If we have 4 beasts on the bench then look out...
Bench rotation of Jnr, Matto, Kelma and Wiremu is pretty intimidating...I like it

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Absolutely. We keep banging on about needing speed in our backline. We'll, Simmo's as fast as anyone in the game, but we don't seem to be able to put him into gaps. Hello, Dylan Brown?

Simonsson had nine line breaks last year. Not bad for a team that tends to use its centres as decoys.

 

[the phantom menace]

How many of those line breaks were in the five games where he played as a winger?

With Moses pulling up with a bung groin I think it may be a while before BA goes in that direction.I do like it though!

 

[T.S Quint]

It really has been a game changer for us as a team since 2019.

Its the best footy ground in Sydney

Not anymore.

What beats it?

 

[yy_cheng]

some say he can fly

 

[Gronk]

If you play under Brad Arthur you don’t have a choice but to be a tough merkin apparently….

Carty was rocks n diamonds all his life before BA got him.

Now he’s a hard merkin with Arthur Beetson-like skills and low errors.

How will Gus spin this tonight on 100% Footy ?

That they showed green shoots with those two tries ?

Ciraldo said in the presser they won the last 20 mins.

Thats the positive out of it forget the fact they were down 20-0 and looked clueless for the other 60 mins.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Not anymore.

You prefer Allianz.

Yeah its a richer version of Commbank. I have only sat in the 2nd tier for both Parra games last year on the other side of the tunnel and it certainly isn't bad. But that was the corporate area so its hard to judge what its like at ground level.

They even had TV's in the toilet for all the Eastern suburbs elite to go & watch the game from in there while they do there business.

No TV's in the toilets at Commbank.


Ill check out the ground level for the Parra games against Souths & Roosters games this year and see what the atmosphere and view is like at ground level.

The Roosters logo outside the ground though ruins it for me haha.

Sorry to interrupt. But, that reminds me. Is it true that we get a free away game with our season tix ? How does that work ?

Penisini? He's reminding me of a Jenny Craig version of Fui Fui Moi Moi. Or a love child of Moi Moi and Waqa Blake.

I emailed the club a month ago as i am going the Brookvale game in Round 8 and wanted clarification if it was for any sydney game or specific ones.

The free extra ticket is for the Souths game at Allianz for those that had it included in there membership.

They will be emailing tickets closer to the match as per correspondence with the membership team

At 20-0 we were entitled to put the cue in the rack.

 

[T.S Quint]

What beats it?

I think it’s objectively better.
Has everything Parra Stadium has, but more.

Unless you like a smaller stadium, which is fine.

 

[eels_fan]

Has everything Parra Stadium has, but more.

No, it’s missing people sitting in the majority of the seats
