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

[Noise]

What ? Our half is on one leg. Nathan is lucky, has a very good 6 who creates points. Our 6 still has his training wheels on.

Their 6 still has his training wheels on too. Luai has played 29 games, Brown 27.

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!!

Just can’t say it was exciting mate, because that’s a paddlin.

Mentally weak teams don't defend their way to victory, they drop their heads and get smashed.

Any Parra fan would know this from experience.

Yep. We've been down on form for nearly a month and we've come out of it with three wins and a four point loss in Brookvale. If we were smashing teams with eight weeks left until the finals I'd be worried we'd peaked too soon.

If we're still attacking like this in round 20 I'll be concerned, but our defence is strong. We missed as many tackles as the Chooks this week.

It's a bit like talking about the virus.

I was at the game so harder to judge players performance, tho what I did see, Waqa, Dbrown, Mahoney and Sivo shocking, Paulo absolute weapon, please feel free to correct me!!

No need to correct you. Spot on.

You mean we missed out on a four point win? Choke!

 

[Mr Parramatta]

I thought Sivo was going to b penalised for tossing ball in to grandstand whilst clock still running?

 

[Incorrect]

He shouldn't be doing any play making at this stage. He is horrible at it. It worked once. I've seen Moses give him a gobful a couple of times in the last few games which indicates he is definitely over playing his hand when attacking the opposition's line. It's like since he signed his contract he thinks he is the second coming of Cameron Smith.

Potentially bought in to his own hype. Plenty of articles and interviews on Fox around that time... Needs to goo back to thinking he's anonymous for the most part...

He almost was...

What for? Was it forward?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

What for? Was it forward?

No. Ennis was just being Ennis.

 

[Tooooks]

Can a pass be called forward if no one catches it?

 

[Eelementary]

What for? Was it forward?

He was almost penalised for a deliberate forward pass - you could hear the touch judge let the ref know that he thought it was forward, but the ref declined to action on it.

 

[Eelementary]

Can a pass be called forward if no one catches it?

Yes - I’ve seen passes be called forward that have sailed into touch, or landed in open space, with nobody catching it.

Reed Mahoney had another shocker. He doesn’t run from dummy half even with The front row absolutely killing it. Everyone says how good his passing game is from dummy half. He’s been f**king shocking for the 5 weeks just with his passing game. He needs to do better. Maybe the contract extension was the worst thing to happen for him.

Once again Gutho pushes reed out of the way to take a run. Maybe it’s BA’s instructions to just pass the ball. On a side note, Harry grant is light years ahead of reed.

How many penalties have we seen for deliberate forward passes?

 

[Mr Parramatta]

I remember a penalty being given last year for same thing, I think not sure

 

[Mr Parramatta]

He almost was...

Tht so, only Parramatta!

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

And why would it be deliberate? Is the sideline closer if you pass it forward? At least when you're passing to a player you might deliberately pass to one in front of you.

Unless it is deliberately forward it can't be a penalty. You are allowed to kick it out, run it out, throw it dead. It's the same thing.
