Rd18: Parra v Manly LIVE GAME DAY thread 21/7/19

[84 Baby]

Our defence is still ugly. Get that right and anything is possible. Regretably, little change in this area for years dosent provide great optimism for consistent wins.
Go Parra.

Particularly without all those juniors BA never promotes

If we play a bit of footy we can win this one. What we did last week worked well as we were playing against a weaker pack and we'd only been on the field once in about a month. That does mean we probably open ourselves up around the ruck in defence a bit more than we did last week. Interesting game to see what style we go with

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Surely they lock the game day threads at full time over there too?! I mean how else would they be able to moderate the threads safely?

Nobody posts after full time in those threads because neutral ground isn't the place for blame and scapegoats and slander. Unfortunately the forum where we all live is exactly the place for that shit.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Yes this new way of doing things is working out a treat.

I wonder why my poll was deleted, given that it would have provided evidence to back up the claim that only four or five people oppose locking the thread? Maybe it was by accident. Can a mod please reinstate my poll so that you can have your evidence and we can all move on?

Do you think you have all the relevant information? Is it possible there's some data the mods are seeing that we're not? Whinging merkins is one data point, but so are nasty letters of a legal nature. Maybe the latter have decreased even as whinging merkins has increased?

Lol. Yes that mysterious secret information is why we can't do what we always did.

Definitely improved with game management last week. A positive sign. Interesting how BA mentioned we were more patient. Even prepared to take penalty goals on offer. So its obviously all up to the players once they cross the white stripe. Responsibility is a good thing.

What are you talking about.?Yes, they do. There are still people today posting in yesterday’s game day threads. And amazingly nobody has been issued a lawsuit.

Definitely promoting a few. Game time and consistent selection is another discussion all together. Im sure we all hope our juniors develop into regular NRL players. Its the best way to manage a salary cap.

eels down 3-2 at HT in the touch footy against Titans

great viewing this regardless who wins

edit Titans 4-2, yawning gap to score under the posts if there were posts

I say this is a completely heterosexual way.
Ryan Girdler is quite a sexy man.

You do realise his teeth are fake

 

[TheParraboy]

Not a good omen, the girls playing crap in touch footy

Lost 6-2

 

[strider]

We all know the only omen that matters will be in play today .... yellow jerseys

 

[hybrideel]

I think we'll win today. We are starting to show some consistency and Manly seem to play better when they are up against it in the siege mentality. They are favourites this week so they lose that advantage.
That being said I see them scoring a couple down our left side

Maybe 'what we always did' was unsustainable?

A realisation that the mods only came to at the exact same time as a forum member suggested the change? What a coincidence.
