Rd12: Parra v Bulldogs GAME DAY thread (2/8/20)

[Incorrect]

It's a little thing and in all likelihood completely irrelevant, but I noticed the way Shaun Lane shook hands with teammates compared to the opposition. Almost brushing Eels players, but full proper handshakes with the other team... Just didn't look right...

 

[Jake the snake]

We had a Titans looking Jersey on and played like them

 

[Gronk]

Good win without any halves. Gutho and Jnr our halves. I get that Mitch has a ginger calf, but FFS Dylbags take control n help out.

 

[Eelectrica]

f**kin hell

Who we got not week

Sharks next week. Dragons then Storm after. Can't play like today or we'll lose all three.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Yeehah!!!
We won, we won, we won and it is still 8 weeks till the semi finals so who gives a f**k how we win.
We won, we won!!!!
Yeehah.

I was hoping we'd win.

 

[strider]

The team really needs a reality check, i reckon we have been prety average since the Raiders game.


We are light years away from the top teams ATM.

Thats ok ... the finals are in october. As long as we are close to them then

 

[Avenger]

And another thing, why does Dylan Brown always seem to step into traffic? He is great defensively but either Moses takes the ball too much or Brown is happy to have a siesta in attack.

 

[strider]

Would've been a deliberate forward pass says Ennis, of a pass that didn't even go forward.

Ive come to not mind ennis .... but f**k i wanted to punch him today

 

[IFR33K]

This game turned on Reeds f**king awful service on their tryline

The game turned when lane got one on one stripped by Lewis

That was disgusting. But I’ll take the two

My worry Jake is we aren't not improving or fixing our faults.
Close to the line nothing is happening. Moses was rubbish. He didn't control the game like good halves do.
D.Brown hasn't improved at all since rnd 1. He is young and I understand that it will take another 2 full years of NRL before he does get polished.

We just use the exact same attacking plays which are getting worked out. I also feel we are playing far to safe and grinding. Need to turn it on more.
And Sivo needs to stop being lazy. To often he has these games where makes 50 odd meters. As much as GJ copped it he consistently makes 150mtrs a game. Sivo should never make less then 100mtrs a game. And should be averaging closer to 140mtrs.

 

[hindy111]

Bulldogs looked more dangerous in attack then we did. They had us scrambling plenty of times.

 

[Avenger]

Steve Georgallis is a good coach and deserves an opportunity somewhere. He has already made an impact with the Dogs. I’d take him as an assistant if Barrett doesn’t keep him.

based in today, you’re 100% spot on

Is that the one he's managing? Mind on the job, Mitch!

He sees his teammates every f**king day ... i wouldnt shake any of their hands. f**k em

 

[IFR33K]

Our attack is so poor considering the strike power in this side.

Last year I said we scored a heap of tries off kicks, and didn’t have much else and got torn to bits. Sometimes it’s better to just STFU and agree with the majority. Everything is sweet!!

Good synopsis Gronk. Did dickbags and Lane even play???

 

[Joshuatheeel]

They are cooked.
I've said this before. BA coached sides don't seem to improve from rnd 1. They have that level and seem to just maintain it. A massive concern.

ok Anasta ....

 

[Bandwagon]

Ugly.

But a win, so I'll take that every f**king week.

 

[hindy111]

it takes good teams to win ugly, but hard to get a win much uglier than that

It's more for me our attack is going backwards cause it's far to predictable. Plenty of time to turn it around but BA it past sticks to the same style for the full season.

Watch how the Storm and Rooster mix it up in attack. And the team that realy is starting to put it together are the Panthers. I feel our squad can beat all of them and perhaps a lot of our players need bigger games to get that energy and intensity going. I still feel like Moses will be hit and miss in finals. We just want to hope he hits a purple patch. The other sides halves are far more robotic and structured and will execute far better.
