Rd19: Parra v Brisbane GAME DAY thread (18/9/20)

[Gary Gutful]

And BA has a headache. Some sympathy please.

...and a strained gonad.

 

[Noise]

The fact that he is injured is irrefutable.

Do you even Parra?

Irrefutable? Wasn’t he quoted saying his calf was back to 100% last week?

I had this merkin cut my hair. I said leave the top wild and just fade the sides low. (I look like a weird crazy guy with my large spectacles) The motherf**ker ruined it. Now I look neat and tidy. merkin

 

[hindy111]

No. Thats dumb.

A player who is injured is clearly injured. That is definitely the case with Moses.

That injury gives him some latitude but doesn't excuse some of the rubbish he has served up.

Injured = can not play

Kicking ball into opposition players legs = out of form and useless.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Oh ok....
So any player who isn't playing well has an injury. All names covered now.
Sivo a boil.
Moses throwing silly balls to nobody due to his calves.

As Happy MEel said, his confidence is down, which is a result of his injury. He knows he isn't effective running the ball and he feels the need to create, which means taking bigger risks than usual.

I never imagined you'd wear glasses. You've completely shattered my world view.

Did he also say "yeah, nah I'd just be happy with the 2 points"?

Its a bit of both mate. Stupid to try and argue it is one or the other.

I don’t think so.

If he says he’s 100% it is hardly irrefutable that he is currently injured.

Wonder if last night those early pushed passes were also due to the fact that our left side is basically ineffective until Dyl comes back? Nearly all of our tries have to come through Moses.

Hopefully taking the ball through the line has given him confidence to do it in future games, especially in the finals. When he plays straight our attack improves drastically

 

[Gary Gutful]

I don’t think so.

Thats fine mate. Happy to disagree with you on that one. I take little stock in the rehearsed shit that players and coaches say to the media and would never treat it as gospel.

Would you prefer W.Smith in halves? Field offers nothing imo

Likewise. Who cares what they say. It would all be a little boring for them. Same questions and so ething they can't even be bothered doing but forced too by nrl

My point is that it’s not irrefutable. Sure not everything they say is the full truth. But Moses saying he’s fit certainly provides some weight that it is refutable.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Irrefutable? Wasn’t he quoted saying his calf was back to 100% last week?

I hope he was telling the truth. If that's the case he just needs to get his confidence back.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Not in my mind. If anything it confirms it.

I take more stock in the difference in performances, pre and post injury.

 

[Noise]

I hope he was telling the truth. If that's the case he just needs to get his confidence back.

Me too (about him telling the truth, not getting my confidence back, my confidence is sky high)

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We know he at least was injured. I'll believe he's back at full fitness when he's back to top form.

 

[Noise]

Yep. It’s irrefutable that he was injured. It’s speculation that he is still injured.

 

[eel01s]

We are improving, albeit slowly. However without a fit Dylan Brown we will struggle as teams will load up on Moses and Gutho to nullify our attack.

Maybe we will see more of Paulo as a playmaker?

BTW ridiculous charge on Jnr. Watched ch7 news and Brett Kimmorley was saying these type of tackles need to be removed from the game. I have been watching league since 1975 and could not see anything deliberate or wrong in that tackle.

I thought the intent of the NRL crackdown was to get rid of players holding up the player in the tackle, with a third coming in late to pull the player down backwards .
