Rd18: Parra v Warriors GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank 15/7/22

[hindy111]

I have been struggling with insomnia for years Hindy, a legacy of shift work for nearly 40 years. What is your sleep medicine? Mine is the two Mrs Palmer's and their ten daughters, but my tolerance is through the roof now and my shut eye barely last a few seconds, then I'm back after the sheep.

It's a herbal medicine used for many of years. I used it when I had covid and it stopped all my shaking and any other symptom as well. Was magic. I just have a little before bed and it's goodnight mr hindy111. All my anxiety and problem dissolve in magic puff and my brain shuts down for the evening. They key is just a small amount. No need to get fried. Just a it to calm down.
Heck it's crazy big pharmas don't get onto this to treat insomnia

On the streets they call it DOPE

 

[Happy MEel]

Never heard any of that around d where I was seated.

There was a small group of idiots doing it for the first few minutes he was on in the Northern stand.

 

[hindy111]

Oh well they know it works.

 

[TheParraboy]

It was interesting to hear what gutherson said when he was asked about Mahoney. He basically said he's got an easy job and just needs to do what he's told. Didn't seem impressed at all.

That wasnt good leadership tbh imo...

My concerns are in attack these

Warriors 3 tried are generated by nice slick backline movements inside our 20 to create space and score. Had Johnson pass earlier not been intercepted by SIVO its a 12 point turnaround.

Our tries well.
The SIVO intercept was one. Huge gift but a better pass and Warriors score.
Guthersons try comes of a dropped bomb followed my a miracle flick by Simmonon and a nice bounce of ball for Guth. 3 bits of luck in that one.

Sivos 2nd come from a poor kick chase and we went 80mtrs.

That leaves two tries we set up. But neither where sweeping and slick movements but rather poor defense and fatigue. An easy to read pass on the inside from Mahoney to Papali'i and he just strolls thru lazy defense. Blake had a gap 5mtrs wide. Huge overlap and a simple dummy half pass. Yes it doesn't matter how you score but against the better sides I don't see their defense letting them in.

We don't seem to be able to get around sides when inside the 20mtr zone or create gaps as easily as the other top 8 sides.
For me that's on the coach.

You judge all our things strongly, but not so much other teams.

Warriors first try was just a gift of winger stupidity. They did nothing good.
Their second try was draw and pass out wide ... yep nice to get an overlap.
Their last try was a good run through lazy defence after we clocked off. Nice work again but we were lazy too.

The Sivo intercept .... if gutho had thrown an intercept like that we would be crucifying him for a shit pass .... but instead we just call it luck for us.

Papas try. Why was that any less than the warriors last try? Defense sucked in, a dude runs a good line and lazy defense.
Waqas first try strolling through a big gap. Did we not stretch their defense and form the huge gap? If other team does it to us they get credit for it.

I agree we arent particularly good in attack. But we have our moments, just like most other teams.

I'm being critical and harsh. But hey we where at home against one of the worse sides in the competition. Actually the worse defensive side in the competition.. Had that win been against any top 10 side I'd view differently.

What I said was 3 of our tries where basicaly from their errors.
Intercept, No kick chase and a dropped bomb.
The two tries we scored off our own merits where just a simple pass and a fatigued defense with a huge hole. It wasn't by any means a well contruscted backline movement with players in motion and confusing the defense.

So yeah I am being harsh cause none of this shit will trouble the good sides. And I am trying g to view the game as if I was the coach and seeing how our points are coming and what need to improve.
We have some great attacking players and I still think we will end up building towards the finals. I do feel we are coasting a little.

I also think BA needs to resolve the N.Brown issue cause he needs to be in our 17. And if Russel or Cini can offer more then Simmonson throw them in soon to get experience.
The other option is Opacic in AND Blake to the wing. Superman Simmonson doesn't offer much at all.

It's been going on for years, remember a couple of years ago fergo didn't score a try till like rnd 18. Even simonson this year has only scored three tries.

This is why I think we panic against the lower ranked teams. We don't have simple tools in our tool box like creating a simple overlap lap. The team knows this and has to go into hero ball mode. Its basically what RCG said post game. We are forced to play hard and tough against the best teams. Those adlib plays work against the best teams cause their defence is so good. You should be able to put bad teams away easy with patients and smart play. But we can't.

Lane and Waqa were full of energy last night, their best games of the year. What I liked was that despite dominating the warriors in the middle we weren't looking to offload, the forwards kept tucking the ball under the arm and powering through. There was no BS running out of room on the outside, and whilst it wasn't clinical for 80 minutes there was a definite change in attitude in how we've come up against bottom 8 teams

Some big games ahead. No point showing all your cards in games like this. Is BA a coaching genius?
*ready to duck flying obects*

Time will tell how things pan out soon enough. No perceived easy games from now on.
Probably need to win 5 from 7 to make the top 4

We have 5/7 at home. And Storm last rnd who may have nothing to play for.

Brisbane - H WIN 65%
Penrith -H WIN 30%
Manly - A WIN 50%
Souths- H WIN 50%
Dogs -H WIN 90%
Brisbane -A WIN 50%
Storm - H WIN 50%

We goninto every game bar Panthers I feel with atleast a 50% chance of winning. If I was using odds I'd say we win 4/7
Worse case 3. And best probably 5

So with matto said to be back this week, who misses out?

marata? Kafusi?

Flip a coin and then Krakatoa can sit one out.

Be interesting with Melbourne.

(Like us) They have lot of guys leaving this year, and possible not as committed as previous years

They also have a ton of outside back injuries. The better sides have exposed them there

Their draw aint easy.

Wouldnt be suprised last round they are fighting to secure 2nd spot and home semi final, or even fighting to stay in the top 4, as bizzare as that sounds

It must be fun living in your head 24/7 so much negativity.

Im not sure if you are aware, but he has an ongoing battle with insomnia ffs

Hindy isnt negative to the degree of others. Its generally fair judgements of our bad points, maybe a bit harsh on us.

Well we won last night and its all negative. Far worse than the usual shit storm that happens on facebook to be honest.

Being an Eels fan is most likely the root cause to his insomnia btw it will keep you up at night.

 

[Gronk]

Yes. There are some very piss poor humans among our fans.

As someone who has been a season ticket holder since 1986, I have seen our fans boo the team off at half time for playing garbage.

However I have never experienced them booing a 10 game 19 year old rookie.

Paul Cariage didn’t get booed FFS.

Everyone around us was open mouthed shocked and disgusted.

There you go, the “innocent playful jesting” on social media has morphed into hate.

I don’t care what anyone says, he doesn’t deserve that.

 

[Gary Gutful]

That was the worst Parramatta performance I have ever seen. BA should be taken out the back and flogged unmercifully with an overpriced wet lettuce.
