Rd16: Parra v Penrith GAME DAY THREAD @ Bluebet Stadium 2/7/21

Abysmal refereeing.

Still - I am pretty bloody chuffed with that effort, tbh.

Though our attack needs work.

We damaged them when offloaded. We still do not use Blake right. Need to use him the same way Penrith use Kikau.
Get him the ball on the 3rd carting it up on a wide spread inside own half. Gaurantees 15-20mtr gains.
Guth also has chances to pass from kick return so often and used to. But never does anymore. Another easy 15mtrs.
We did ok imo. Handled them pretty good. We let in two very poor tries. And so did they.

Proof we aren’t real contenders.
We should have won that with them missing Cleary. We had field position but couldn’t get the points. Moses probably doesn’t deserve a Blues jersey

They were missing Cleary, but still had NSW Origin number 6 Luai.

We were missing Mahoney, and replaced him with Lussick (who has been very good, but is not at the same level).

I don't understand how a one point loss to one of the genuine Premiership favourites means we are pretenders...

 

[Jake the snake]

Putting things into perspective though. Feel sorry for the Opacic family. That must be terrible. RIP.

FFS fox commentary making out it was a disaster for us!! FFS we lost by 2 points!!

Panthers defence great apparently, think I was watching a different game thought panthers had lots of sets on our line in the second half

1 point

Good effort by the boys. It doesn't help having a genius of a coach with a lower footy iq than the average rugby league fan.

I notice even the high profile, accomplished, commentators are starting to question the bushy tactics.......

Bushy is getting harder to defend, even for the staunchest if the BA defenders

 

[Kornstar]

The most telling sign in the game was when Burton went for the field goal, it was so obvious it was going to him and not one player tried rushing towards him........that is the difference between good teams and great teams.

We are just a good team.

They are all lining up to deep throat the rig behind the sheds after the game. How bad is it that you can’t listen to either set of commentators. They are all such massive f**king cocks.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

The Dunster experiment can finish now. Absolutely useless

Fergo’s metres wouId have been good, but no good if we are 3 tries behind!! His edges wouId have been carved up tonight.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Ref was horrible had 2 rules for each side in the ruck

 

[Parra Cheeses]

Feather duster!

Crumb Dumpster

We seemed to have fixed our edge defence since Dunster has come into the side for Fergie. Coincidence? Every player has their strengths and weaknesses. Do you want to leak points on the edge or get rag dolled off kick returns?

Waqa Blake did from marker, and was tripped by the Panthers player he had just tackled...

We played like we where scared imo. Fired no real shots. Penrith come at us for the win. We waited for a mistake. We scored of 2 x bombs.
Had we pushed the ball more we win. I think we won the battle in the middle but didn't take advantage. Dunster is solid in defense but his attack is ordinary. Unsure he stays long term.

I do not think we choked however. Moses should of nailed that kick at end imo. Nathan would of.

We won the battle in the middle? I thought they monstered us in the second half.

 

[Delboy]

As a general comment, we are extremely competitive, but would be a good idea to change the attack coach who has been with the club for 8 years. If that doesn’t bring about even a slight change it would be surprising.

the side doesn’t need much, just minor improvements in attack As it hasn’t changed much for far too long.

 

[Gronk]

Looks like Mitch is the scapegoat.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The Dunster experiment can finish now. Absolutely useless

He's not useless, but he's a backup. He's a good, safe player to have in the squad but he shouldn't be in any contender's top 17.

I thought Waqa was after him but slipped

Surely Dunster has now had enough practicing in the NRL and goes back to Reserves though.

There's no point in not playing Fergo. If we're not going to play him then we need to sign someone else before 1 August that we're going forward with next season. Dunster is 2 to 3 seasons (if ever) of playing long term in the NRL
