Rd16: Eels v Dragons LIVE game day thread 28/6/18

[Kornstar]

Disagree we busted or arses just don’t know how to win.. as soon as we let them in with a sniff we just shit ourselves as usual

That last try was the epitome of wanting it more, we drop that ball , Duffy takes it comfortably and they win the game.

The flukey try in the first half was bullshit too. No one puts their body on the line and that is the result.

That was the most Parramatta of defensive efforts i have seen. We have tries scores against us like that than any other team. The 1 percenters are the difference between success and failure and we haven’t won shit for over 30 years, so that suggests a lot to me.

 

[hineyrulz]

What.

Bringing on a reserve grader and not a dummy half option when you are up by 12, we lost our go forward and our starch in the middle. That forward pass from dummy half let alone that kick.


Up by 10 why bring on a liability like him??? I suppose he did re-sign him, he's got no f**king idea.

 

[Sphagnum]

It's all Arthur's fault that Smith is a dribbling f**ken genius.

Sack the merkin

 

[Jake the snake]

We’ve been told adnauseum of the poor attitudes of players like Hayne and Norman. They are quality footballers. Dumb as dogshit players like Smith, Taka and Jennings are holding this team back.

This

 

[Happy MEel]

...and the refs were merkins. That penalty count in the second half was atrocious.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

What the f**k is wrong with Jennings?

Jetlag, hopefully.

 

[Dibs]

Will Smith forward pass..........turning point.

St George in the end wanted it more, our season was over by week 6 and we have played accordingly since.

They didn’t want it anymore than us. They just had better opportunities in the last 10 thanks to Cummins and smith and the fact that hunt got to practice kicking on the third in origin

If he doesn't and an exhausted King missing two tackles and costs us the game you're whining about that instead, though

 

[Parra Pride]

Yeah, but was it necessary with 10 mins or whatever to go leading by 10?

That said, I'm far more furious as a fan with the shit Taka pulled at the end. He's a senior player, allegedly, and a permanent top squad member. Not close to good enough.

Taka is still living off throwing a few passes to the best winger in the world.

 

[Kornstar]

6 games we have lost now when scoring the same amount of tries as opposition.

Our refusal to take 2 pts when of offer is just dumb. How many times did we get a penalty in front of posts tonight i reckon 3-4

Can't fault the effort they had a crack that's all you can ask for.

Though i could see that coming a mile away. Just knew if they scored 1 try they would have got a 2nd

The most amusing thing to me is the games we haven’t taken the 2 when on offer are the games that it would have made a difference and the games we’ve taken the 2 we’ve been embarrassed and it was irrelevant.

Disagree we busted or arses just don’t know how to win.. as soon as we let them in with a sniff we just shit ourselves as usual

we have some shocking bad habits we slip back into under pressure
kicking early (and wrongly) giving away mindblowingly stupid penalties and just generally not building pressure

 

[Dibs]

BA loses us this game through shithouse coaching, he's been as responsible for this loss as Cummins.

Yep and if he left king on and he f*cked up it would be BAs fault for not replacing him

 

[Noise]

I reckon the only person surprised at Will Smith's performance is BA. Everyone can see he is not a first grader, nor is he a hooker. King has played 80min plenty of times and is a better option than 10min of Will Smith.

 

[Happy MEel]

I don’t blame smith I blame the idiot that keeps picking him. FFS Smith is a f**king park footballer

Why the f**k was King taken off? I didn’t notice a drop in middle defence and we were winning the ruck? It’s like BA reverts back to coaching his sons and thinks everyone needs to get game time. f**king ridiculous.

 

[hineyrulz]

you merkins are f**ked if he kicked the 40/20 he was aiming for you'd call him a genius. He tried a bit of heads up football that he didn't pull off. I'm not happy but f**k me. Call yourselves supporters

If!!!

We'd had f**k all football for over 5mins and on the 3rd tackle on the 40m with momentum. We were up by 4 you pillock with 4 to go it was the wrong play. He shanks it makes it even worse.

Moses and Norman had kicked them to death all game, why role the dice when you have the lead???

 

[Djay]

Let's rewind a bit and not forget what started all this.

A shit disorganised kick on the 5th, with a shit chase (the only one all night) which allowed Dufty to charge through and bring it back to our 20, and we were on the back foot ever since. They scored the next play.

Dumb stupid football that was missing the whole night, we did it once and it cost us.

I'm so f**king furious about that loss, that just sums this clubs shit mentality and attitude up, we are f**king losers, no other team loses that.

 

[Dibs]

Disappointing in the end, but at this stage of the season does the actual result really matter.

Move on.

You f*cking move on. You shouldn’t even be posting here after your sulk

 

[Wally21]

Norman, Hayne and Moses stood up. Gutho played out of his skin. Mannah and Nukorwhatever were outstanding. I thought Jennings went a lot better tonight. Some brain explosions but overall a great effort tonight against the top team.

 

[Sphagnum]

To be perfectly honest, the kick from will Smith epitomizes parramatta.

The idea was perfect, the execution was f**ken terrible.

 

[Lemon Squash]

All Smith had to do for 10mins was pass the ball (backwards would have been nice) and run from dummy half chewing up the clock... but no he goes for a Hail Mary 40/20 when it wasn’t needed and completely fluffs it.

We were going to lose from that point onwards.
