Rd10: Parra v Warriors GAME DAY THREAD @ Suncorp 16/5/21

[IFR33K]

So what’s your score prediction for next week ? How much will we lose by ?

So you assuming waqa will be MOM?

I don’t think we will lose. Turbo has been back for 4 matches and they beat 3 hot n cold teams Tits, Tigers and Warriors.

I reckon it will be tight, but we won’t leak points like those teams and we won’t let them dominate the middle.

 

[Jake the snake]

Any idea what the 6 again count was after we got to 24-0, seemed like an U7 game where the official evens it up.

dont know what the count was but the prick evened it out for sure. He’s one of he worst refs.

I had a weird watery discharge coming from my eye when watching how pumped Brad Arthur was when his son scored.

What is happening to me??

Mrs Croc was a blubbering mess. Then howling when the camera panned to JA standing with his mates.

Ok, so go read my previous comments, where did I say we’ll lose?

Don’t know but at the game it felt like we only got 1 set restart in the last 60 mins.

You said that Turbo would run riot.

So Turbo is going to run riot because Waqu is playing, but the Eels will win anyway.

Another good win, did enough early then took the foot off the pedal.

Worrying signs though in the second half. We allowed too many offloads and Blake was continually missing tackles. Hopefully he is better next week.

Great debut by young Jake. His try reminds me of another great family story which featured a similar try on debut. Let’s hope Jake’s career lasts a little longer.

That wasn't his debut

Blake was overweight and massively underdone. Only 4 fantasy points ffs

Bulking up to play wing?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

dubbel ffs

Overall it was good to win. Both our edges are firing now.

Can someone explain to me why that Fergo try was disallowed? Didn't he have contact with the ball?

He dropped it cold. I reckon Mattos was closer and may of touched line. Either way both butchered them

 

[hindy111]

Umm Storm scored a flurry and have been playing against 12 men.

Must be the brave STG team stopping them putting on 60....

Saints chopped them up and may of won if 13 on 13....

The average play-the-ball speed was 3.93s (Parra) to 3.54s (Warriors). That's the eighth time in ten games we've let the opposition play the ball quicker than us, which is odd for the team with the most post-contact metres. But hey, at least we've still conceded the fewest penalties.

 

[hindy111]

People are harsh on Blake based on today's game. NZ threw the ball around like wild from the 20th minute mark. Blake also made a few very good tackles. The scramble was great. First game in 9 weeks against a side who has some of the best runners in the nrl. I dont think he was that poor at all.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

More missed tackles than fantasy points. Is that a first?

Well missed tackles (along with penalties and errors) reduce your fantasy points, so it's probably not that rare. The reason his total points were so low is because he was uninvolved in attack. He's clearly lost a lot of fitness. In round one he had 4 tackle breaks and 42 post-contact metres. Today he had zero TB and 24 PCM.

I wondered that myself but there is too much of this season remaining for us to get a player ready for a position switch.

Do you feel Fergo is at NRL standards? I don't think he offers a lot anymore. Trys hard but lacks spark these days. Turns so slow also.
