Rd13: Parra v Sharks GAME DAY thread (9/8/20)

[IFR33K]

More that the Sharks seem unlikely to play their normal attacking game in the wet. At the same time, bad weather increases randomness, and is therefore a bit of an equaliser.

I see the wet weather as no advantage to either team. Whichever team adjusts and handles the conditions the best will win. ‘Twas a random comment tbh

You've poured cold water over that conversation.

Well of course it's no advantage. The question is whether it disadvantages one team more than the other. To be honest I don't know. I can see it disadvantaging them more because of the way they attack, but then I can see it disadvantaging us more by introducing randomness to a contest where we otherwise have the advantage.

It's very exciting.

I think we'll be out to make a statement today.

We're gonna f**kin' smash 'em right through the middle, and then tear their edges apart

I won't be surprised to see Jed Bogan snapped completely in half and Moylan to be crushed like the pissant pretender he is

I hate being negative, but I have a bad feeling we will get beaten comfortably today.

We're not winning too many games the way we've played the last few weeks that's for sure.

Hopefully playing a good team and last weeks near miss brings them out of the slumber.

Usually takes a loss to get the message across that there's more to winning than arriving to the ground on time though.

I may be wrong, but I just have a feeling in my gut that the Sharks will start off like a house on fire, and we won't be able to keep up.

I feel the same but i feel that way each week........years of conditioning keep me waiting for us to shit the bed in a big way.

I’ve tipped against us three times this year. Roosters, Manly (when they beat us) and today. Based purely on our recent form.

It will be a tough contest but I'm pretty sure we'll get home via a chip and chase from Paulo in the dying minutes.

Did you ever think it's your tips that cause us to lose?

I’ve considered it. If we lose today, it’s clearly my fault and I’ll tip us for all remaining games.

Its already your fault ... today will just make us hate you more

Well done ... its been too long since "pissant" got used on this forum

I think that’s fair.

Yesterday I had a feeling we’d lose.
But I think the boys will rally around Gutho’s 100th, the club has made quite a song & dance around it and BA has really focused on instilling the need for great performances on milestone games.

Think the weather benefits us, if they rely on fast ball movement to their edges and that’s unlikely in today’s conditions. Their forwards have been strong of late but we definitely have the wood over them up front. Class of Moses kicking game will get us home in a close one

 

[Mr Parramatta]

We lose today, no matter what the score is u can put a pen through us, regardless I see this as “3 horse race” and we ain’t one of them, we have been a mixture of very ordinary and brave at times, unfortunately those 2 qualities are not a premiership winning team, in saying that anything below a top 4 is a fail this year.

 

[eels_fan]

Put a pen thru us due to 3 losses in 13 (if we lose today) and 7 weeks until the finals?

You need to drink less, a lot less.

It's not just the win/loss record. I just can't see us competing with Storm / Roosters/ Panthers when it comes down to the wire. Look at the Pennies, they are just getting on with it with dominant displays.

Just made it home in time. Ready for shark meat for dinner.
