Rd16: Parra v Souths GAME DAY thread (27/8/20)

[Bazal]

You rarely post but when do come and abuse others who contribute?
I used to enjoy your posts but since you've been doing this its quite annoying

I reckon I've posted three times in about a month (four counting this one) so if that annoys you mate I'd say it sounds like a personal problem.

Tbh I'd rather ignore the toxic garbage from those "others who contribute" than I would "abuse" them. Hence the low recent post count.

No time for miserable merkins, sorry.

 

[TheRam]

You didn't defend me against @TheRam. I thought we were friends?

Bones are thicker then water mate.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Could try twitter?

#nrl360

Yeah it seems like you have to use Twitter.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Mind you I don't think you'll have any joy in this case considering it's a bit late now and Kent was a bit critical of us after that game.

 

[TheRam]

I'd throw you off the cliff before I defend you against @TheRam

Love ya Hindy.

Cop that black eye Guts.

 

[TheRam]

Even after I did that nice pie chart for you?

You merkin....

We ate your pie for breakfast and doubled down on our sausages.

Yeah. Dont like his chances. Just listening to Kent on MMM blowing up delux that Niukore wasnt charged for breaking Bmiths jaw.

 

[Eelementary]

Thanks, guys - I tweeted Kenty.

I very much doubt I will get a response, but I tried.

No, I'm saying exactly what I said, there's no need to reinterpret it.

This weeks game was really no more important than any other game, with the qualification that as the season ends and tightens for places, you run out of games to make up for any losses. Which means each game from the beginning of the season to end of the season becomes ever more important on a progressively upwards curve, the rate of increase of which is governed by the number of losses to date. Until such time as winning or losing does not affect your final standing.

So the Rabbits game only becomes more important retrospectively because we lost, and that makes the Warriors game more important than that again, and so on.

But it was still important, eh?

 

[Bandwagon]

Of course, why wouldn't it be?

It just aint any more important than any other game we've lost this year.

 

[Gary Gutful]

They needed to make a statement.

 

[Bandwagon]

They needed to make a statement.

They did.

It's just that "I pooped my pants" wasn't the best statement to make.

 

[Kornstar]

So what you're saying is that our game vrs The Bunnys last Thursday was pretty important. What a pitty coach and players didnt think so.

I would suggest the coach's press conference indicated he thought the game was pretty important, the players on the other hand clearly didn't think it was.

The game was important for a top 2 finish that's for sure and that is now out of reach and it would have almost cemented a top 4 finish however we still have a great shot at a top 4 finish as long as the attitude is there.

It doesn't annoy me at all. Either does people who bag the coach when we lose. I don't take it as toxic or miserable merkins. Just different people expressing different opinions. Sometimes it's quite funny. We can get emotional as humans.
But in general I enjoy your posts. Seem like a smart guy. Rather see you post more often.

We ate your pie for breakfast and doubled down on our sausages.

Sasuage? It was more like those kids party sized Frankfurt

If we really wanted a top two finish we should've beaten the f**ken Dragons and Manly.

I finally summoned the courage to watch a replay given the bloody hopeless seat i had on the Brett Kenny Terrace last Thursday night.
I reckon we actually won the middle. Our forwards definitely out played their pack. Obviously once Souths spread the ball using decoys etc our edges absolutely sh*t themselves. Fergo wasnt great but OMG Waqa and Sivo were diabolical. Waqa in particular was squating flies all night. Probably close to the worst defensive performance ive seen from a player. Sivo wasnt much better.
Moses tried his guts out particularly in D.
How brave was Drown playing on with an injury that requires surgery.
Lane tried hard but his body language is absolute crap. He needs a rocket up him.
Regretably our A is so predictable.
Kick to Gutho tackle 1.
Pass to Sivo tackle 2.
Pass to Fergo tackle 3.
Pass to a forward tackle 4.
Same script every set.
You can see the opposition D move into position knowing exactly whats coming.
Mahoney showing more skill at D/H is a n absolute must. He has to run or show something.
While we were powering through the middle we were looking great.
We absolutely have to fu*k off whoever is planning out attack. Its absolute sh*t.

That sequence bringing the ball out has been there for 2 seasons and is so obvious it’s a gimme now for opposing defences. The attacking structure inside the opposition half is Similar in its Structure and easy to read when anyone has done a video review.

Sitting up high in the stands it’s so clear how we structure it’s easy to defend. Time to look at options in that area at least for 2021, as before it’s good to be loyal but not at the expense of improving outcomes , the attack is slow , predictable and ponderous.
