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

[IFR33K]

Do fox even know who Mahoney is.....

F^*k the commentary was annoying. Only us fans should be able to bag our players.

 

[muznik]

We were paying f**ken $2.50 with them missing Cleary. He's only one player.

We wouldn’t have been $2.50 with 10mins to go! My point was they were missing their golden child. It was as good an opportunity as it gets and we couldn’t get the job done.
I am happy with the effort and am venting a little bit we lack the X Factor in big games

 

[Joshuatheeel]

The difference is the Panthers want to get up and play the ball quickly. We are mostly not urgent enough at wanting to play the ball fast enough, which was the reason they got plenty of restarts.

bullshit!!

Its hard to play the quickly if the panthers are holding the arm/ball as the eels player is standing and trying to put the ball down and play it, a good few seconds after ref calls held. There was a few times it happen

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Dylan Brown missed most of last season?

Our defence was good last season. Third best in fact.

They would have been tired as well backing ups 4 days after origin. Huge missed opportunity.

We need better strategy. Wished we hire Brian Smith to plan our strategies against the better teams

Having proper attacking structures would help.

 

[hineyrulz]

W.Smith.
Lussick was gassed. He should of been in bench. Bryce for 8 mins was pointless.

The coach stuffed up the interchange best??? Well I never……….

Lane was absolutely out on his feet then he lets in an easy try and then he loses it when we’re on the attack on the first. He replaced soon after too bad it was too late. Papa was great again but he has been overused IMO. He was also gassed when they scored that late try before the first half.

 

[hindy111]

Anyhows unsure why others are upset. It was a great game of footy. Penrith didn't blow us apart like many expected. Yes no Nathan but we didn't have Rheed. There back up is a quality NRL player. Ours is a genuine NSW cup player.

 

[IFR33K]

Dylan Brown was a better attacking player when he started off in first grade. No idea what happened.

He continues to dummy and run the ball and it fools no one. He’s fast but we sure do overate his running game. Has no short ball nor does he have a good money/cut out ball. Needs to evolve.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

George Jennings is.

Jennings is a better player than Dunster. In 2019 he was going to be our starting winger but Simon got the jump on him.

They fight to play the ball, we don't

 

[strider]

the panthers are drinking XXXX .... ffs

 

[hindy111]

Someone tell me why D.Brown is making 40 tackles a game. Very confusing.

He met touch footy coach Murphy and is asked to play BA ball.


it’s like he’s playing in a straight jacket at times.

tbh it’s probably got more to do with every team favouring their left attack

 

[Soto]

We were close but not good enough.
Looked completely lost in attack with no real shots fired at the panthers line.
The right side attack is the most non existent ineffective in the comp.
We could easily be celebrating a win if Moses gets the goal.
Perspective though. They had 5 players play Origin Sunday night plus their best player in Cleary was out and Edwards is a better fullback than Staines. We defended stoutly and 2 lapses cost us.
Great effort but I think it shows we need to play more footy and spread the ball plus more offloads against very compressed defensive units like panthers and storm..
Wasnt impressed with the amount of penalties and 6 again calls Klein gave them in the last 15-20 mins...
Anyway we have a tough run home and could easily drop out of the top 4 if we don't go up another gear

 

[muznik]

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...

Luai seemed to be limping most of the game. Probably still gets the 7 jersey for the Blues over Mitch though.
And you answered your own question. We couldn’t put the Premiership favourites to the sword when they were without the best player & we had them up against the wall.
Not so much pretenders as just not real contenders.

 

[hineyrulz]

We’ve needed a better attack coach for 8 seasons, a spoon winning touch footy coach from the Titans just doesn’t cut it.

cos they ran a big merkin at him ..... did the panthers even run down the other side of the field at all in that game?

 

[Avenger]

Sums up Mitchell Moses that goal

It sure does before the kick I told my son that he’d miss and that Gutherson should take it.
