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

[hindy111]

I watched the game. D.Brown had a larger involvement and played well.
Waqa showed why he is our most explosive back and needs early ball.
Haze did a job and the more games he plays the better he will get. I do not see a reason for Fergo to come back at this point.
Overall the game was a little boring. Parra just strolled. If not for bad goal kicking 2 or 3 butchered tries and a few incorrect reefs calls the scoreline is closer to 60.

Did you enjoy the bit where the dog ran onto the field and was biting players ankles?

Which meant Momoroski in side. If everyone is fit Momoroski isn't taking Burton or Crtichtons spot.

Momirovski is a better defender than Burton, plus he's still at the club next year. I think Staines might even be the one to miss out. He's Luke Burt without the goal kicking.

Is it random though, I see a softening of send-offs. The knights guy was sent off for a crusher but was anyone else sent off this weekend?

*sin binned
*late hit

3 bins this week

And more eyebrow

Blake, Ferguson, Sivo and Moses are all capable of scoring length of the field tries.

Maybe not Sivo.

West Tigers 2005 say Hi. They proved that you you don't have to be the best team all year to win the comp. We finished minor premiers with STG with a 16/8 season. Wests limped into the semis with a 14/10 record.

They were up n down all season and just strung a few together.

Can you honestly say that this 2005 team is better on paper than our 2021 list ?

1. Brett Hodgson
2. Daniel Fitzhenry
3. Shane Elford
4. Paul Whatuira
5. Pat Richards
6. Benji Marshall
7. Scott Prince
8. Anony Laffranchi
9. Robbie Farah
10. John Skandalis
11. Ben Galea
12. Mark O'Neill
13. Dene Halatau

14. Liam Fulton
15. Chis Heighington
16. Bryce Gibbs
17. Todd Payten

Their spine was outrageously talented in attack. On it's day, that team could outscore anyone.

 

[lingard]

And replaced Edwards with a superior player in Crichton, with Burton (also a better player than Edwards) to centre. Koroisau (who's played enough games to get picked for NSW) has been their only real loss.

Far inferior fullback.

I hope waqa can keep it up week after week. I hope it's not like last year, smash the panfers and that was his deed done for the year.

Matto got much more involved too and i liked that

Why?

list is too big. Plus I’ll be labeled a death rider or some shit

 

[Eelementary]

Moving Blake to the left was a smart decision to help our attack, too - for all his defensive issues, he's clearly our most dangerous outside back.

It makes sense to shift him left, considering how often we go left in attack.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Our attacking and defensive structures aren’t good enough to win us a comp, bush league.

Yep. Just get the structures in place and the rest will sort itself out.

list is too big. Plus I’ll be labeled a death rider or some shit

These are the reasons why I don't think we'll win this year:

1. Below average spine (compared to the Top 5 teams).
2. Overly reliant on kicks in attack.
3. Rubbish edge defence.
4. Rubbish edge attack.
5. Average coach struggling to know how to take his team from 'good' to 'great'.
6. Other teams are better.

1. Below average spine (compared to the Top 5 teams).

Imo... With Gutho, Brown, Moses & Reed playing, our spine in better than Souths (talking the average game performance we’ve seen in 2021. If all Souths spine played their best games they’d wipe the floor with even Penrith but they have shown that maybe twice this season). Our spine is definitely better then the injury impacted roosters (whose spine won’t improve before the end of the season).

I disagree with you about the first point but you make some valid criticisms on the other points. A lot of the issues you bring up are fixable so I’m not as down as some of the fans here.

I agree with my first point. I went downhill after that.

Definitely better than the Roosters injury ravaged spine. No way our spine is better than Mitchell, Cook, Walker and Reynolds. Even on form this year.

The only side that can beat smug is us.

Two words instead of your in depth boring analogy why...
