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

[Gazzamatta]

I thought Shaun Johnson was Parra's best.

I thought Moylan should get The Ken Thornett Medal after todays performance.

That scrum win against the feed was a great play. Who'd have thought that we'd be up for that?

 

[parrathruandthru]

It was good of the Tigers to loan Moses Mbye to the sharks for a goal kicker today

 

[Angry_eel]

Its hard to comment on that game. Yes we sucked but won but then it was atrocious conditions.

I just want the players to have hot shower, drink some mulled wine, go to sleep and come back fresh tomorrow.

Are we pretenders? The entire b n g army keeps waiting for next week to get an answer for this.

It was brilliant football; I had just criticised the team for being dumb, and they come up with that play
It was brilliant.

 

[Mr Parramatta]

What about the game against the Titans?

I don’t remember, but ok 2 games, he’s still been shit all the rest....are I disputing this?

and just quietly u and me would’ve looked pretty good against titans 3 months ago!

 

[Mr Parramatta]

I just read that the Blake/Fergo combo is the second worst in the comp with letting in 21 tries, it's definitley a massive weak spot that needs to be fixed before the Semi's.

There u go....

 

[Mr Parramatta]

But he didn't stop us winning them either.

That’s a pretty shitty comeback Pou, he hasn’t been good, that is indisputable!

I give up, u win !

 

[Gazzamatta]

I know both Drowns inside passes to Jnr on the burst had poor results but it was something different.
Pass one WASN'T forward.
Pass two was unlucky. Contrary to the commentators blowing their load over W Graham, I actually thought he was beaten by the play he assumed was being performed then struck gold when the pass came the other way and fell into his arms. Nice to see a new play by the boys.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

What about the game against the Tigers?

He was good against Manly too.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I give up, u win !

There was the game against the Broncos as well.

You are asking a man who has never had confidence in anything Parra related to tell you whether he has confidence in something Parra related.

That's as pointless a question as me asking him "Do you wan't another Kraken?".

Yes, and I was talking about the Kraken not the other thing.

 

[hineyrulz]

It's very....what is that word again @hineyrulz?

Kraken???

 

[hineyrulz]

Moylan was pretty damn good for us too.

The next Locky, maybe they were talking him as the next Locky from a board member point of view???

 

[Gronk]

Morris blaming the refs for everything.

Cleary reckons that the refs “managed” the other team back into the game. Will get sanctioned.

Meanwhile BA is focused on reducing errors and being better and smarter.

The ball brushed his hand and finished 5m behind him. How the hell would that be considered a knock on?

 

[T.S Quint]

Also how funny is it to see a first grade coach that doesn’t know the rules. Yes you are allowed to push in scrums. Teams don’t usually do it because the ball is in and out so quickly there’s no point. You’re just better off breaking as soon as you can and get onto the defensive line.
Maybe if your team didn’t hold the ball in the scrum trying to catch us offside you would have won the scrum, you idiot.

 

[Gary Gutful]

The ball brushed his hand and finished 5m behind him. How the hell would that be considered a knock on?

10-15 years ago I would have agreed. But these days that is a knock on 95% of the time.
