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

[Joshuatheeel]

Penrith are so far ahead of us it isn't funny. If they held onto the ball it would be 20 or 30 to 4.

Our execution and want (for the ball) is appalling.

Panthers run away with this easily in the 2nd unless we start playing smarter and wanting to support the ball runner!

Or it’s our defence / line speed putting pressure on their attack causing them to push the pass/make an error

 

[yy_cheng]

So much for Moses making soo

 

[Eelementary]

I don't know - I think some of you guys are being quite harsh.

While our attack is pedestrian, we are frustrating them with aggressive defence, imo.

 

[Gronk]

Lussick had been good over the last few but his service tonight is slow and loopy

Yes ! Too many above Moses. He has to reach up.

No I don't think so. Our defense and up in face has rattled them and forced errors. They are far smoother in attack though. If they get down our end we won't defend as well as they do.

 

[Kornstar]

We also need Mahoney, Lussick is ok but he is not a full time first grade hooker.

 

[emjaycee]

Dylbro and Opa defending on Kikau well.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Panthers may be missing Cleary who is obviously a big loss!!

But missing Mahoney isn’t helping our attack, Lussick’s service at times isn’t great

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Listening to Ennis, every Penrith player is an absolute supertar

There's your problem...

 

[hindy111]

We do not need to go around them. Up the guts and offload. Force line drop outs. Tire them out. Burton is not in Nathan's class. Yet anyway. Just watch his step.
They've frustrated us which is fine. Just keep them down their end. They will fade.

 

[Eelogical]

Parraball or perish in this one.

 

[Gronk]

Opacic having a game tonight. Dig deep buddy.

 

[Bandwagon]

Lussick had been good over the last few but his service tonight is slow and loopy

His passes are poor, far too many above the first receivers shoulders, and he's just a tad off the pace. No deception in his game, We are missing Rheed.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

we had all the ball but our attack looks disjointed

Our attack relies on quick play-the-balls, which Penrith don't give up easily.

 

[The Predictor]

Lussick had been good over the last few but his service tonight is slow and loopy

His dummy half passes are way off the Mark and slowing play

Opacic having a game tonight. Dig deep buddy.

How did he pass?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Can’t buy a six again atm

The refs are even influenced by fake crowd noise ffs!

 

[Bandwagon]

Yep, they've tried too often to go around us as well, pushing that last pass.

 

[eels_fan]

Definitely should be leading. That pass from Gutho was never on. He should have just copped the tackle, it changed momentum when we were building.

need to reset and play smarter in the second half. We should win this but only with smarter choices.

moses copping it online - I think he’s been solid and controlled, and his kicking game great. That’s what you want in those conditions

 

[emjaycee]

His passes are poor, far too many above the first receivers shoulders, and he's just a tad off the pace. No deception in his game, We are missing Rheed.

Back next game.
