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

[Poupou Escobar]

If they seriously think that is up there with the worst refereeing they have seen, then they dont watch much footy

Admit, 7-2 penalty count is a bit lop sided .... what was the 6 again count? Cos they seemed to do very well with that ... penalties and 6 agains are similar these days

They were keen to get off their line very quickly, so being penalised is the risk they take. By contrast our line speed isn't a focus. Our effort areas in defence are around pushing laterally, which doesn't draw penalties.

If teams are supposed to have an even penalty count then what's the f**king point of penalties? Just get rid of them.

lol not sure if serious

we had 2 repeats sets to your 4

and 2 penalties to your 7

soooooo going by your way of thinking, 11 to 4 in your favour

We have the best pack in the competition. Why wouldn't we win the penalties?

 

[Gronk]

Anyone expect any changes for our next game? Would like to see fergo and/or sivo be given a week spell.

So who are you bringing in for Sivo and Fergo ?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Dunster and Will Smith

Interesting, I dont think you do at all

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well I'm sure you'll agree it's better than yours.

Where you get your repeat set stats from? I dont see them listed

I reckon you got more than 2 in the first half alone. I recall us getting a couple quite late in the game, but practically none earlier

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Didn't we play STG in 09 Rnd26 ?? and we won like 4-2 in similar conditions?

We lost that game 29 or 39 to nil. The one you're thinking of was a few years previous, Jeremy Smith was playing so I'd say 05-07?

Be better disciplined.

NRL website lists it as ruck infringements

I struggle to even remember one of ours TBH

It was a really good game considering the conditions they were played under

Thats a bit of a cop out response

I'm not here to argue with you guys

How is it a cop out? If you don't want to give away penalties stop being offside, in attack and defence

That bomb caught in the fingertips by your fullback was impressive.

Because you guys got off with alot of things that we didn't

I dont think you can possibly say you guys were near perfect with just 2 penalties conceded?

haha yep, not sure if it was skill or fluke that one

What specific incidents did the ref miss that should have been penalised?

 

[hineyrulz]

Be better disciplined.

Sounds like my grade 6 report card.

 

[parra pete]

Fergo and Sivo, or any outside back for that matter, were never going to star in those conditions

Some fans obviously believe the chant "Sivo/Fergo walk on water"...

We weren't near perfect, we made 17 errors. We also missed 28 tackles and conceded 2 penalties. But we focus on our discipline which is why we don't get penalised very much. Only Manly have conceded fewer penalties this year. Do you think it's because Manly and Parra are favoured by the refs? It's because of the way they're coached. Some teams are happy to test the refs and some aren't. The Roosters concede plenty of penalties and still win games because they know they'll benefit from all the times the ref doesn't penalise them. The six again rule has put a spanner in the works for them though because referees are happy to award six again against teams violating the ruck where previously they might've been worried about criticism over uneven penalty counts, or just blowing too many stoppages.

Have you got Kayo?
