Rd18: Parra v Penrith GAME DAY thread (11/9/20)

[strider]

You gotta hand it to Penruff .... they are a tough team ... we couldnt bend their line at all

Anasta is deadset an idiot. f**k me why pay him for this shit !!

we have 2 spine players out and panthers were almost perfect !! U f**kwit!!

that eels defence wins games , we are going to surprise in the finals!!

Alexander u are an idiot too!!

we kept score to 3 tries with monster stats against us!!

The Panthers will be destroyed by a good team in the finals. Roosters and Storm will not let them dominate and will wrestle twice as good as they are being allowed to right now and will force way more errors than we did.

They are going to get a pretty big shock in either week one or the prelim when they are embarrassed by a professional, clinical team.

8 set restarts to 2

So what? There play the ball speed was ferocious. We couldn't go with them.
I called it 2yrs ago. The vicous fish will be one of best props in game.
At moment the guy is now no 1

Sadly I'm not looking forward to the Finals. Which is very strange because we're currently in the Top 4.

 

[Eelctrifying]

I am just stunned at our attack. I have no idea what the f**k as happened. Defence is fantastic, they scored off Evan and Lane drop balls those f**kwits. But Moses just hasn't been the same since he went off (outside that chip and chase vs the Tigers).

We are so far off Storm and Roosters I don't know what we can do. It's easy to say f**k off players and the coach but the reality is they are signed. We need to come together and figure something out.

 

[Noise]

Not too sure why so called “experts” On fox, and then on here are being so critical of the attack tonight.
We played a very tough brand of footy tonight, it wasn’t flash but with 2 of the spine out it never was going to be!
With the amount of D we had to do I’m amazed how the players went until the 80th minute.

after tonight I’m more confident of doing well in finals then I was before the game, that’s D was outstanding, the way the boys kept turning up for each other deserves credit!

Our attack has been shit for weeks, not just tonight. We have scored less tries in the last 10 games than the Bulldogs and Broncos. 2 of the last 3 weeks we haven't even scored a try. Defence doesn't win you games when you can't score tries.

Sivo has turned into a f**king cat.

He is useless. Slowest player on field

For all the mediocre merkins here using our missing spine players as an excuse, do you guys think that game plan will work in a semi final?????

 

[rugby league fan]

I hate to say it Will Smith has to start next week. His passing from dummy half is much better than stone

Agree mate
But will smith needs to learn to
Pass from the ground occasionally.
He stands up to pass way to much.

 

[hindy111]

Well we have 50% of our spine missing.

We’ve benn tackled 6 times in Penrith’s 20 all match.

Possession is nearly 70%.

We got smashed. Lets be honest. Bar 5 or 6 dropped balls close to our line it could of been 40-0.
We couldn't even get over halfway. Good teams dominate possession with control mate. Not with luck.

I don’t think it’ll be a 65-35 possession rate if we have both of our spine players.

 

[hindy111]

When was the last time Penrith played a good or full strength team?

Your right. They have been luck 13 times.....

 

[IFR33K]

no chance, great effort. That effort gets us into a GF qualifier

mate we’re the weakest top 8 team. We’ve got 2 huge games coming up. Don’t be surprised if we drop the tigers one. (And no, I won’t accept, “but it was benjis last game” as an excuse)

 

[hindy111]

I don’t care who wins the GF as long as it’s not the Panthers. I’d rather f**king Melbourne

I want Panther to win it.If not us

You are dreaming!!!!!

That effort gets us close losses in the first two rounds.

 

[Noise]

I reckon every opposition now knows our (only) pattern in attack and just load up defensively. They know who is getting the ball on every tackle , sprint out of the tine and just get numbers in the tackle. Most teams worked us out 2 months ago.

Just need BA to unleash the trick plays...

 

[Happy MEel]

The Panthers will be destroyed by a good team in the finals. Roosters and Storm will not let them dominate and will wrestle twice as good as they are being allowed to right now and will force way more errors than we did.

They are going to get a pretty big shock in either week one or the prelim when they are embarrassed by a professional, clinical team.

Unless they play us.

I dunno ... they are confident and are tough ... they have a good chance ... inexperience is their biggest risk

We made it too easy for them. We didnt ball play, offload or offer any creativity.

They basicaly bent us over and banged us all night.
