Rd16: Parra v Titans GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank 22/6/25

[Gary Gutful]

Its a night i will never forget & when we win our 5th premiership.

I will be telling everyone when we burn down commbank after the GF win that i was here the night we beat the Titans on a sunday night in late june 2025 where it was sub 10 degrees for a 16th v 17th clash.

Only 30 people in the crowd + coaching staff. They were struggling at half-time and Ryles asked if I could gee the boys up in the sheds. I gave a stirring address and the rest is history.

He can’t defend. his lack of speed and reads are a joke. We’ve been burnt way too many times with him there. Dylan Brown 3/4

Samranis defence in the centres reminds me of Ben Smith post knee injury. His lack of speed makes his lateral movement too slow to defend there.

Yet some morons think the sun shines out of his arse. What are they watching. At best he’s a 2nd rower in reserve grade.

Bin Chook.

Yeah, I just reread the post and realised he was talking about Samrani. Thanks.

We might go
2 paps
3 lomax
6 dyl

Is lomax playing next game or is it soo?

 

[the phantom menace]

It has to be 3 Brown, 6 Papalli, 7 Hawkins.... Brown fills the gap until Simonssen is fit and ready to take Penisini's spot. Since Brown isn't part of 2026, the people who will be around get given the chance to taste more of NRL in their potential positions.

Samrani didn't even play any grade this weekend, so he's a bench consideration next game at best - but likely Cup imo.

Jesus H Christ if this is what we trot out I’ll give it away.

Gideon is getting better every week.

I can't even say that try was his fault - Walker, and Guymer*, didn't slide.

Hawkins keeps delivering the way he has, I wouldn't be against him being the permanent 7, Moses to 6 moving forward into 2026...

Looks like back to Lussick at 9 next few weeks

Moses will never play 6 again. That’s like demoting him. Even the suggestion of it would be viewed a disrespectful. He’s our 7 and our captain. He’s not playing second fiddle to anyone at club level
