Rd13: Parra v Knights GAME DAY THREAD 6/6/21

[Poupou Escobar]

All we ask for is consistency.

Yeah, consistently SHIT!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

One way to look at it, we would most likely have him out 2 , maybe 3 games if he was playing origin

We should get the money next couple of weeks without him, Tigers and Dogs

We then got Penrith and the bye

Hope Reed back after that raring to go, maybe back for the Riff game

He missed our game against Penrith last year as well.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Will Smith >>>>> Lussick.

He is, in attack anyway. But early on when there's few opportunities in the middle for a player like Smith he'd be better off biding his time on the bench. Let Lussick soak up the pig work for the first 30 minutes.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I have no idea

That's right.

 

[Suitman]

I have no idea where this clown keeps making this shit up.

He does it for a reaction and to make himself sound smart. Haven't you worked this out yet?

Someone get Opacic the words to the Parra song FFS.

What the f**k game were you watching?

The Knights game. If we were laying South’s, Penrith or Melbourne today we would have been beaten easily. Newcastle were that bad. Even BA wasn’t happy with the game in the presser.

 

[Soto]

Happy with the win but still our right side defence was the same structure and looked short a number of occasions. A better attacking team will expose us.
Our right side attack is horrible. We always look like we are running out of space. This needs to be fixed up asap as teams will number up on Sivo if we keep try scoring down our left.
Happy to see Waqa have a cracking attacking game. Adds further weight to my point about our right side attack..Waqa has not had such a great attacking game like today since his time at the panfers. He needs early ball. When he is motoring he is dangerous and a handful.
My 3 best today were Waqa, Lane and Guth.
Honourable mentions to Sivo, DBrown and Matto

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

The important thing is we won but we still get to have a whinge.

We’re still top 4 and we have a heap of improvement left in us. So as much as we have to improve a great deal to be a contender, we are 10/3 for the season and are +148 after a tough draw at the halfway mark.

That’s the glass half full version.

I love how only the dumbest merkins on here have a problem with me. Get over it dum dums.

Meanwhile Nrown and Papa were a little down in intensity. Good that others stood up and took the lead.

 

[Bandwagon]

Will that matter come Finals time?

We won't beat Panthers and Storm with the attack we've got, and we're unlikely to have the attack to score enough points against Souths who will put high 30s minimum on our defence. I'd argue the Roosters with whatever team takes the field against us in a Finals match will be too good for us.

We need to have more options in attack...we've been relying on individual brilliance for too long in attack and it's taken us nowhere in Finals.

We'll see I guess.

For now though, we are scoring at a rate better than all but two teams, so our attack must be half decent, otherwise, well, we'd have scored less.

Oh, and it's objectively false to state we won't beat the Storm with the attack we have, because you know, we have.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Happy with the win but still our right side defence was the same structure and looked short a number of occasions.

Both our edges are usually short because we compress so much in the middle. But the right side tends to cop all the traffic because most teams attack better on their left. So the problem isn't our right side defence, that's just where it breaks when we're put under enough pressure.

It's like how Sivo scoring most of our tries doesn't mean he is our best player.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It's funny because it's true.

The Storm should definitely be favourites every time we play (assuming both teams near full strength) but we are absolutely a chance of beating them in any given game, especially at Cumberland.

Nobody can question our standards.

You were f**ken talking about line breaks and somehow missed the 9 we had today

 

[Jake the snake]

I didn’t see any genuine line breaks. All our tries today were close to the line against a poor team. We have struggled for the few games to break any teams down in attack.

He was singing it in Serbian.
