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

I agree with most of you guys that our attack is really off.

However, one thing I will say is that we are badly missing Mahoney - I believe our attack sharpens up with Reed back at 9.

Lussick has been tremendous, but he's not as talented, or skilful, as Mahoney.

With Lussick, we needed will in the team instead of Bryce just to add the spark

Nathan Brown was bog average tonight, for a forward he must have the slowest play the balls in the comp. One of those set restarts was f**king as dumb as f**k as well. Marata and Cartwright were underused while Lane and Papa were both on far too long which led to mistakes ,missed tackles and tries.


Is BA trying to kill Papa he's been amazing but he is seriously flogging him to death.

And kafusi

 

[Poupou Escobar]

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

Because we compress in defence, making our edge our weak point. And teams attack better on the left so it's our right side that gets most of the traffic.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

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

ffs

Anyone watch the Sivo no try again? Which didnt go to video ref.

Did he bounce it? Couldnt see any any separation ( i do agree its questionable if he had control but separation is what they look for)

 

[hineyrulz]

We can't surely train like that?

Would it be more embarrassing if we spent a heap of time on our attack??? I'm not sure but whatever we are doing it's not working when it matters. Again two tries off kicks, we are simply unable to break down the top defensive sides.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

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?

Capewell made 6 carries, Kikau made 13 in the same number of minutes.

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

Is it all his fault though? The awesome forward pack is hot and cold too.

Well, even the most potent forward pack can go cold if they are playing excessive minutes,,,,

It was a clear no try, he got much closer than i thought but he clearly bounced it.

There was 100% separation

 

[Poupou Escobar]

What attack?

The attack that is coming equal second in tries per game.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Stereo is starting to frequently bag out the tactics..........makes you go hmmmmm

If Stereo had the balls to f**ken coach his opinion might be worth something.

 

[hineyrulz]

Only Pou would think our attack is fine lol.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I'll be ìnterested to see how the next 8 games go, because that stupid attack we've got is just going to get embarrassing for mine.

Imagine our attack not blowing away the best defensive team in the comp.....it’s not like burton / may don’t know how to defend on the edge or panthers have lost their go forward.......

 

[hineyrulz]

Or even if he spoke to you once FFS!!! Cowardly bald merkin!!!

 

[Avenger]

Melbourne would have put 30 on Penrith tonight without Cleary. We just need to accept that we are second tier and that the top 3 after this round ends are simply better than us and on another level.

Didn’t need to blow them away. Being ahead with 63% possession would have been enough.

They lost to Panthers without Cleary though.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

and no ball for the main origin half.

Again, you're worrying about who was missing. Did they need to replace him with a reserve grader? Tyrone May has won 37 games at 25 years of age. That's 5.2 WPYSA18 ffs!

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Didn’t need to blow them away. Being ahead with 63% possession would have been enough.

so what about when the panthers had 60% possession in the second half for 1 try too. Yeah no Cleary didn’t help, but no Mahoney didn’t help us either.....(not disputing Cleary is a bigger loss).

Panthers are the best defensive in the Comp....
