Rd12: Parra v Souths GAME DAY THREAD @ Stadium Australia 29/5/21

[hineyrulz]

Most likely because they came off a 50-point thumping.

We got thumped as well, this is a carbon copy of last season. Lucky we banked those early wins.

Id bet money Sivo didnt even know the rule that makes him offside there

TCT interview with Joe Grima this week. He was asked the question " do we teach our junior teams the rules"?
Short answer.
Nope! Lol.

 

[T-Boon]

Yep, we will finish 5th or 6th in a very poor comp and people will see that as a pass mark. An 8th season coach with the squad he wants should have us playing better than this.


Cue the excuses!!!!

He isnt a very good coach but same with the rest of the coaches except for maybe 3 of them.

 

[Eelementary]

It’s almost like it isn’t the centre causing the issue on that side.

Arthur is struggling a bit - he's getting pulled in, and making poor reads.

Even Matterson, who is a very good defender, is struggling on that edge without Brown.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Seems like it.

Can't blame Waqa - he's on our left tonight, and our right is still shit.

Opacic is a solid defender, but he's struggling big time.

Ferguson is spending all his time infield.

There are big issues on that right hand edge.

The issue is the middle but the right side is where we break because that's the side being targeted (because it's our weaker defensive half). Before Drown was suspended they were targeting our left.

 

[Mickyd39]

This is putrid.

 

[Eelogical]

The Fox commentary team is so biased it’s painful. Where do they get these hacks

Commentators don't really matter, it's the score that matters.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

An 8th season coach with the squad he wants

You don't reckon he wants better players?

Absolutely.

Dylan Brown can't return soon enough.

 

[T-Boon]

we need to flick fergo and sivo to england so they can make some money and we need to try to find some speed somewhere.

 

[IFR33K]

Drown and RCG are two of our most important defenders.

Roosters had half the team out and still perform half decently, week in week out.

storm last week had their entire spine out and still performed. I can’t see us moving forward and getting any closer to being a genuine threat. We look bog average with the ball. No decoys, no bodies in motion, no inside runners, just one out shit. They compress and have us covered in the middle and either side of the ruck.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We have been easy to beat for a long time, they just happen to have a really good coach who knows just how simple it is.

Have a look at their spine ffs! They've all played Origin.

 

[Eelogical]

The same bargain bin BA gets his assistant coaches, both woefully inept.

If it's the same bin I got my bargain Stone & Wood watermelon, cucumber and mint beer from then I agree.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And here they are!!!!!!!


Pou Pou excusebar at your service.

Just a coincidence that our defence is suddenly dogshit?

 

[T-Boon]

You don't reckon he wants better players?

Yeah but that is part of the problem, is he isnt a coach players really want to play for.

 

[strider]

We are gonna struggle to defend souths on the edge no matter what .... but with only 12 players we have no chance ... that bullshit sin bin was really costly

 

[Cumberland Eel]

yikes yikes yikes praying to the footy Gods it doesn’t get real ugly

 

[Bandwagon]

Arthurs just isn't reading them well in defence, needs to cut down walkers time, but he also just isn't getting enough help on his inside from the middle.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Roosters had half the team out and still perform half decently, week in week out.

The same Roosters who lost to the f**king Broncos??

 

[Incorrect]

Drown and RCG are two of our most important defenders.

Indeed.....

Puppies are cute.... Butterflies are pretty..... All those obvious statements have no relevance as to why our coaching staff haven't rectified what was exposed last week. It's their job ffs
