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

[Happy MEel]

It doesn't matter when a team scored a try or if it was from a kick. You sound like Paul McGregor. They are worth the same at any minute of the match, no matter how they are scored. We however, have now gone tryless in 2 of our last 3 games.

Harsh but fair

Not sure who you are referring to, but yes @hineyrulz likes to dribble shit.

Pot meet Kettle ploppt Plopful.


And if you really want to hear someone dribble check out a Bea Arthur press conference. He’s honestly so far out of his depth it’s sad. It’s like it’s 2018 again.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Adding Matto, RCG, Blake with an off season and more football under Brown and Mahoneys belt an improving squad should of been a no brainer. Just a shame the no brainer is in the coaching box.

I was refuting your original point that we have gone backwards. You are now shifting the goal posts.

Brown and Mahoney are injured and didn't even play tonight so I don't understand why you've raised them.

In fairness 10 teams had pretty shit seasons last year and we managed to just get ahead of them.

At time this year we've been easily one of the Top 4 sides in the comp, but there was no comps to be won in May, June and July either.

At no stage of the season have we appeared to have a squad capable of beating a full strength Storm or Roosters in the Finals.

Mahoney has missed one game and Brown two. How were we going a month ago??? Would you say the team is playing any better if at all???

Our momentum heading into the finals was much stronger. Atm we are like a Datsun 120y stalled at the lights.

Yes, take that Ploppt face!!!

What about August?

 

[Chipmunk]

What about August?

We did not perform like a team even remotely competitive with other Top 4 teams at full strength in August. We probably lost our way in July in hindsight.

We've been terrible since the Cowboys win.

Your first comment about going backwards was made in reference to the previous season. I'd say we are on par with last year.

We have definitely gone backwards since the early part of this season. If we were a country music song we'd get our house back, our wife back, our dog back and our ute back...

[forward pass]

BA will never be a good coach until he lets his sides attack from anywhere on the field. We spent 80 minutes tonight trying to get in front of the posts, 10 metres out so we can attack. Even 10 points down with 10 to go, we were tucking it under the arm for 5 tackles trying to get to an attacking spot. Fkn ridiculous. Even the Titans attack from their own half regularly. It is sooo dangerous.

When we finally got to the spot, we kicked for goal. Terrible coaching/captaincy.

It's been the same squad all year. We were never deserving of premiership favouritism. We always overrate our players and then blame the coach when they don't live up to expectations.

The Cowboys game was the last time anyone gave up against us.

Refer August

We've still probably been one of the Top 4 teams all year. Doesn't mean all teams who are in the Top 4 are premiership contenders.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well we have been in the top four all year. We will probably still finish in the top four.

What have we done all year when we've been attacking from 10 metres out? Not alot. We've been atrocious since Round 1 in set situations.

In round one we scored a single try against the wooden spooners.

We've been atrocious since 2014 in set situations.
