Rd15: Parra v Storm GAME DAY thread (20/8/20)

[Noise]

I don't think he is elite. He is solid. Lacks any real game breaking ability to be elite. Very good though.

Lacks game breaking ability? He breaks the game open all the time by setting up a heap of tries

 

[Bandwagon]

Bullshit, best ball playing fullback in the NRL.

*laughs in Dally M points.

Well I see TEDDY,TURBO & PONGA as elite. RTS isn't far behind. No other f**klback is.

Oh f**k off ... i agree he might not be "elite" but he makes heaps of things happen ... he is a f**k load more than "solid" ffs

 

[Chipmunk]

Obviously on top at this stage, but certainly not the clinical performance yet, but there is an opportunity to get there.

The players the Storm have brought to the match have all come to play though, which you'd expect

We definitively want a strong second half.

 

[Gronk]

f**k of merkin. I think we been rubbish. Had 2 favourable calls otherwise its 7 mistakes for the half.
Unsure but to me I see gaps in the middle but we keep going wide. Storm still look far better drilled.
Moses kicking games been disgusting. Not one bomb was in the money when close to line.

We're slowly getting our mojo back. Patience merkin.

 

[hindy111]

On Ray Stone he isnt a hooker by gee he is a player. Guys is tough and hits like a brick. Gooefully he gets some time in backrow and can get the rest of the game in.

I hope we stay ahead so we can give Kafusi and Stone big minutes.

KE shows what he is. Throws silly balls that go anywhere. His leg drive is only average also. He won't be missed.

I think the only aspect in which he isn’t elite, is his speed; he doesn't have the speed of RTS, Tedesco, Ponga, etc.

But he has impeccable vision, skill, fitness, a brilliant attitude, and he just goes all day...

I reckon he is in the elite class, but will probably not ever play elite representative football, because better players are ahead of him.

Bullshit, best ball playing fullback in the NRL.

I'd say 2nd to Ponga. Drinkwater would be close also.

I like the bugger.

He gives away a dumb penalty, or two - but he has mongrel.

Yep his footballing IQ will fit in well with those geniuses at the Warriors

 

[hindy111]

He holds the NRL record for meters gained in a game you muppet.

So what. Anyone can take 30 runs. How many of these runs changed the game our favour. Like Tedescos runs or Papenhauzens.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Going ok!

interestingly RCG / Mahoney/ Paulo all off in the last 10.

got to be careful and not give the storm to much ball

 

[TheParraboy]

Fox commentary has been outstanding I think tonight. Cronk is an absolute professional and gives great insights on BOTH sides.

Cronk easily my favorite when analysing a game, head and shoulders above the others...

 

[hindy111]

Will be our starting lock in a few years I reckon. To many on here bagged him. Called him too small. After 2 or 3 games. The kid can play. He just needs minutes.

 

[Noise]

I'd say 2nd to Ponga. Drinkwater would be close also.

Ponga has 6 tries and 11 try assists.
Gutherson has 5 tries and 13 try assists

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Gee any storm tackle is like a committee meeting, far out, they take so long to clear the ruck / let go

 

[strider]

Cronk easily my favorite when analysing a game, head and shoulders above the others...

I find him a bit annoying tbh ... i always liked him - for a queenslander ... but he is a bit too clinical for comentary - typical Storm type

 

[hindy111]

Oh f**k off ... i agree he might not be "elite" but he makes heaps of things happen ... he is a f**k load more than "solid" ffs

Maybe don't use my "Elites" as freely.

Guths very good. But hardly explosive. I am not bagging him. Great player. Not elite.
