Rd1: 405pm Parra v Storm GAME DAY THREAD in Melbourne 9/3/25

[piggysmalls]

Storm are a really good footy team but gee we are real, real bad. Manhandled. Mercy rule. Please.

 

[Lemon Squash]

LOL hopeless merkins couldn’t defend one tackle

 

[Chipmunk]

Atrocious...simply atrocious.

This wasn't even a contest from the opening whistle. The two teams were playing at completely different speeds from the outset. The Storm fast and us slow.

We look totally rudderless in attack and lazy in defence.

Brown should sign his $13m deal ASAP, because the longer he goes the less his value will become.

Tualagi obviously hooked after 15 minutes, and had to be put back on with Williams HIA. He was woeful...the sooner he finds himself out the door the better off we'll be.

Paulo is well past it... We'll do f**k all this year with him and Joffa in the front row. Both need to be shown the door.

There are some very shit lazy performers out there today.

 

[Zoso]

FMD. Embarrassing.

The only positive I can see is that several players will be having their cards marked. I expect several signings for next year. We need a lot more players moved on asap.

Yeah but we re-signed Kelma. His cards should have been marked last year!

 

[eels_fan]

I mean I knew that was going to happen, so how did 13 players, and a coaching team of about 15 people, not?

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

They kicked to Lomax, only Lomax was over the other side. Shambles.

That's coz white men can't jump

 

[JokerEel]

Derp a minute to go let's throw an offload so the Storm has a chance to score again

 

[Jake the snake]

This is bastardry

 

[Avenger]

GET LOMAX OUT OF THE CENTRE POSITION.

 

[hindy111]

What mess? We were in a grand final two and a bit years ago.

That year we handed out those 4yr deals to every 2nd player.

 

[hineyrulz]

Yeah, it'll be fine brah, just wait three years ffs

Go follow Leeds you fraud.

 

[the phantom menace]

Great try off the scrum Storm. More missed tackles and being out paced in the basics.

That's over a point a minute in the first half. We don't have any improvement in us for the second half imo - this could get much uglier...

 

[Poupou Escobar]

No shit....we have 5 maybe 6 players out, at the same time trying to bring in some youngsters.....of course storm out classing us...they are full strength..

Also, only 45% possession in 35 degree heat.

 

[Parra Pride]

If Paps didn’t bomb a try they hit 50 in the half.

 

[84 Baby]

If this is the new look Parra, I’m going to start watching AFL

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

First big test for ryles is the half time speech.

Now let's see how they respond in the second half and is gonna tell me from now if ryles is gonna succeed as a coach

 

[TheParraboy]

46-6 FT

Thats wasnt too bad, kept them under 50, we can still win the comp

Bring on the tigers...

 

[84 Baby]

Also, only 45% possession in 35 degree heat.

Scum playing out of the cool end are they?

 

[Gary Gutful]

Melbourne by 70.

I might have been kind to the Storm.
