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

[Gary Gutful]

If we don’t throw everything into bringing Charlie Staines to the club then we are not being serious. Our wingers are ineffective.

*Shit

 

[Chipmunk]

BA not worried we didn’t score a try.

FMD

In fairness we didn't really get ourselves into position to score a try tonight, but we've shown little propensity the last couple of months that if he had that we would've done alot about it.

 

[IFR33K]

At what stage does management call in BA and question his attacking or lack of, tactics?

Not only question him, but offer him help. Is it possible an assistant coach can be brought into the bubble???

 

[lucablight]

Taka and Gower must be recalled. BA has to make changes. Have to be a complete fool not too

I don’t think Taikarangi was that much better than Waqa Blake and Gower is finished as a first grader.

 

[Mr Parramatta]

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!

neither would have made a difference

JFH made 249 meters and 44 tackles. This is the best prop in game or top 5 atleast. Animal.

 

[Avenger]

BA not worried we didn’t score a try.

FMD

I saw that. He is deadset a f**kwit.

 

[hineyrulz]

Honestly what does Jai Field offer that Salmon or even Taka could offer at 6. He does no kicking, doesn’t run the ball and is horrible in the collisions.


Oh and lol @ Ray Stones service at 9, he had a crack like he always does but his service was the reason we got so little Roll on and we’re dominated in the ruck. We were gassed from all that defence and there was no coming back.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

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)

Ah ok hopefully we get to play the 2nd weakest

 

[Chipmunk]

Eels are leading the NRL for offloads with 240. The Tigers are second with 174.

That is interesting. It's obviously not helping, but I honestly don't see us scoring from anything other than second phase from a nothing pass. Our attack from set situations has been embarrassing since Round 1.

 

[Joely01]

neither would have made a difference

So our main hooker, the person who touches the ball the most wouldn’t have made a different
And Drown has been one of our best each week with effort plays alone.
Both would’ve made a difference

 

[Noise]

Nathan Brown has been missing a lot of tackles lately. Tonight he missed 9 with 2 ineffective!

 

[Mr Parramatta]

Drop 6 players at this time of the season... Yeah I'm just as pissed off with that game as anyone but let's get real.

We all need to remember while we are shit at the moment we have won a lot of games. We can find form again.. these players have shown they are better.

Need to discover it fast, but it could be worse... we were f**king wooden spooners 2 years ago. Or worse we could be the Broncos right now.

Come on buddy we were pretty lucky to win a lot of those games

 

[Mr Parramatta]

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.

So what does that say abt parramatta?

 

[Happy MEel]

Nathan Brown has been missing a lot of tackles lately. Tonight he missed 9 with 2 ineffective!

That’s true, but I reckon quite a few of those were trying to force an error when we needed the ball.

Stone isnt a hooker. Surprised BA thinks he is. He under values the position.
Agree with Field. What does he do? Almost like his role is just to defend and nothing else.

 

[Chipmunk]

Played a full game didn't he?

We had to get through alot of defence in general. It's probably not a surprise given the circumstances.

Yeah alot of our tries come from Individual brilliance. We don’t play as a team.

They just bashed us so easy. We couldn't make ground. I feel our bqcks had no punch and lack and zazz

So why have they made little to no difference to our attack the last 2 months?
