Rd19: Parra v Broncos GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank 21/7/22

[84 Baby]

That’s the season gone for mine.

If we don’t win 1 of the next 2 we’ll be 9th/10th and I wouldn’t tip us to trouble either of Penrith or Manly

we miss the 8 and BA MUST be sacked. Not even a question or consideration.

I’d be making a last ditch call to Ciraldo. I know he’s apparently a done deal for the Dogs, but it’s worth a shot.

Rebuild already well under way at Dogs, why would Ciraldo want to come here to facilitate ours?

My impression is that there is something wrong with our leadership structure. It looks like the guys designated as leaders aren't actually respected by the group, like I suspect the case is with gutherson. Having him as the main guy or teacher's pet could easily lead to disharmony and lack of effort. The way he spoke about Mahoney having an easy job last week and just needs to do what he's told really spoke volumes to me. Moses has been similarly dismissive. At the very least there is a lack of respect there. Anyway, bugger.

I suspect there was more to Mahoneys decision to leave than just money.

 

[Eelogical]

You f**ken do it

No, you f**ken do it, Guffo. I'm busy talking to BA.

 

[hineyrulz]

Haha.
Diversion again.
I hope you made a bucketload tonight betting on the Broncos.

Pou the super fan should be wrapped, he loves it when loooooose. He gets to argue the next 48hours on here.

 

[Gary Gutful]

That’s twice now Sivo has been caught napping

Convinced he phoned in at least half of the game from Fiji.

 

[the phantom menace]

We’re a team that hasn’t had a genuine leader for a quarter century. The thing about Gutherson previously was that he seemed to always be the guy putting in. Looking at him at the moment, he seems afraid of contact, his attack has gone to shit, and he’s become shockingly unsafe at the back. If he’s putting in those sort of efforts, and has the gall to spray his teammates when they make errors themselves, how could there not be disharmony?

Agree totally. Gutherson's effort tonight - in defence at the back, and in attack - was mostly absent compared to what you'd expct of a leader (or even an experienced/senior non-debutante fullback).

Need a change in leadership group for next season - Hodgson (I guess that's what we signed him for?), Matterson, Dylan Brown can take over... would be nice to have one more senior player/leader out wide.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Go up the coast, put up tents, start fires and dig latrines.

It's a bit damp out. Maybe wait a few days.

 

[lucablight]

I don't know anything but I'm convinced there's more to it. It's not our go. And doing it to free up money to keep Papa who somehow has to successfully renege on his contract is even less likely.

He played a few weeks ago.

 

[Eelogical]

Gutho needs to be dropped. He’s been absolutely pathetic tonight

You know that will never happen.

 

[strider]

Everyone does. Our middle is only a strength in attack. In defence it's a liability.

Well no, RCG and Matto should be two of the best middle defenders in the comp. Yeah Paulo isnt mr mobile and Reed seems to have turned into a bit of s speed hump. Maka is a plodder in attack but can hold his own for his minimal minutes in defense.

I think our problem is we have lost our enforcer and line speed ... Nrown ... and its not just bad team selecrion, Nrown did go off the boil.

 

[84 Baby]

No, you f**ken do it, Guffo. I'm busy talking to BA.

You f**ken do it. I’m talking to Sutton about one call that might have made up for our 17 shit attitudes

 

[Eelogical]

Gutho is costing us an alarming number tries this year...

It's his worst season, but he won't be dropped.

 

[Chipmunk]

We look about the 10th best side in comp right now.
I'd have us just above the Dragons. Roosters with players back are superior. So are the Raiders.

We don't have the 11th best defence in the comp for no reason.

Jake sitting with his friends in the dressing room... empty chair either side of him in the circle?

 

[krodsorin]

Jake sitting with his friends in the dressing room... empty chair either side of him in the circle?

Shouldn't be there. Nor should his Merkin old man

 

[Matty Bhoy]

I’d have backed us to have won if that Blake try stood. Fire the bunker into the sun.

Lol

 

[lucablight]

I’d have backed us to have won if that Blake try stood. Fire the bunker into the sun.

Had plenty of sets on the Broncos goal line after that and couldn’t score.

 

[Suitman]

Who’s fault is that ?

The players of course.
Couldn't ever be the coaches fault.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

He played a few weeks ago.

Huh? So? When we had injuries and he got called in and went ok and BA couldn't bring himself to give faint praise?
