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

[Gary Gutful]

You are probably right. But do you think that we are actively doing anything about it behind the scenes?

He is a no fuss and get on with it type of character and coach.

My thoughts because none of us know for sure:

I reckon we know we are a powerful club and have no problem swinging our dicks around when needed. But I doubt we’d be whinging as much behind the scenes as other clubs.

I don't think we do much swinging at all to be honest.

I can remember him being involved in 3 tackles, good or bad. One where he slid, made good contact and his teammates came to help finish tackle. The other 2 were both when Maumolo got ball close to line where he came over in cover but Maumolo stepped inside (this happens heaps of times with different attackers and defenders).
I can’t recall him shooting out of the line, let alone his excruciating shoot out of line and wave arms at his opponent move.

I noticed 2 occasions where he shot out of the line with no result. On one occasion he got no one and the other he missed the attempt at tackle.

We need to teach them how it’s done, Bones on Bones style!

BA needs to man up and drop Blake and bring in Peninisi, he can't be worse in defence can he to anyone who has been watching NSW Cup?

Mate, Penisini is an awful defender, tbh...

It’s amazing after we got to 24 nil how differently the game was reffed, Klein is a horrible ref.

I think this is actually a planned manipulation from 'the game' to make the match more a contest when teams play the top 5 sides and things seem to blow out. The Storm and the Panthers both appear to be even too good for that manipulation most weeks though.

I suspect we will see plenty more of it for the remainder of the season when one of the Top 5 sides play.

Look at the titans broncos game a few weeks back.

Titans were up 22-0 after 20 mins then the next 20 mins Brisbane got about 5 6-agains and 3 penalties and by halftime it was 22-all

thats his brother Matt FFS. Hasn't even played Harold Matts yet

You don't reckon it's a photo of a dude who was 15 at the time?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Usually when someone says "I reckon" in a post it would normally be self explanatory that he/she was offering an opinion.

God forbid you should use a qualifier like 'probably' with these idiots.

The only proper response is to stay patient, which is something Penrith and especially Melbourne are better at than us. But we're catching up.

It probably wouldn’t work.

Everyone remembers where they were that day

Lee Harvey Oswald rolled a 20 on his shot

Blake's been out for over 2 mths with a calf injury. So most of that time I doubt he has been running.
It was a game where warriors flung ball around in desperation. And they went for Arthur's side. I don't recall Blake being that terrible. I'd have to watch it again.
People need to give hinna few weeks stleast to get his fitness back.

His defence appeared better but still not NRL standard. Still rushes up to miss his target and stand there with a stupid look on his face wondering where he disappeared to or have a lazy arm grab.

Do you mean on the edge where he hasn't played for 6 weeks, no Dylan Brown (new Jake Arthur) and Matto (just back from a spell) ?
