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

[JokerEel]

Jake Arthur getting booed when he came is sad. I don’t condone it but It’s his dads fault for putting him in that position. Should not be in the team unless there was an injury to the halves

Yep Penrith don't play O'Sullivan on the bench incase of an injury...

at the game I just looked at Gutho for one set in defence. He wa directing the team in defence from the back and I kid you not every time he directed the team to go one way the broncos went the other way. Every play the ball
He directed the team in the wrong direction. It was a f**king joke.

That's interesting.

JA got his match payment tonight which edges him closer to a KPI to another extension is the only positive I can take from tonight.

Brad has done you proud jakey boy.

 

[Jake the snake]

That's interesting.

Could not believe it mate. He’s been off for a while. And we are stuck with him. All because he does a few hip thrusts and gets nearly a million bucks. He just an average player.

yeah i agree.

Did you read the post where after the game, no one sat next to him.

This will probably cause so serious psychological damage. Hope he doesnt take his own ...

Nah I didn’t see it. It’s really unfortunate. He’s a kid. He’s getting booed and it’s his dads fault. The fact is he’s not ready for first grade, he’s not good enough. He’s not a bench player. Why is he in the team? Would he make another NRL teams too
17? No he would not. I’ve said it before if mosss or Dylan went down then put him in but off the bench he’s a waste of space. Not that the coach uses the bench rotation with any real effect anyway…

Here we go...

Crowing after a loss hey? I dunno why you think a loss proves anything about the coach but not the players. If I was as inclined to confirmation bias as you I'd say the loss proves the players aren't good enough. But really one loss proves nothing. Any more than one win does. We've won 11 games this year and lost 7. Does that somehow confirm your biases? If you can't answer don't be a smartarse.

They showed it on Ch 9.

Rheed, empty chair, JA, Empty chair, Someone else. Everyone else had someone next to them.

No one was talking to him

Ten years ago I would've been going into a state of depression as I finally start to accept that a season that potentially could have had some promise is going down the shitter because of our mentally piss weak team that has been this way for as long as I can f**king remember. I'm at the point now where I legitimately forget we are playing at times, I'll go check scores fully expecting to see another disappointing result and sure enough they never fail to deliver on that front. Thank f**k the Lakers were good for a season a couple of years ago so I actually had some sport shit to feel good about, because god knows the culture of dishing up shit and never winning anything that actually matters is a stain this club seems like it'll never be able to clean off.

They have Salmon tho. Who can fill in in the halves if necessary. He has some experience and physical attributes for it

The f**ker doesn’t run the ball

The f**ker doesn’t run the ball

It shouldn’t be a secret. Just look at Canberra’s turnaround since elevating Woolford to first grade. He’s no world beater, but what does he do? About the same as Rein would.

What’s Starling and Mahoney’s biggest drawback? Their size. A strength? Their running prowess.

Starling looked awful playing 80. Mahoney isn’t far off.

No.

That's not what I think at all...

My comment "Here we go..." quoting two of your posts in succession was referencing the perceived start of your regular post-match thread banter pattern, where you chase yourself around in circles attempting to prove things of little relevenace and tangential to what people you are engaging with have actually posted (as also supported by the parts of your post I have quoted).

Pretty sad state of affairs. I was at the game so could not see it. I honestly feel Sorry for the kid. His dad has really put him in this position.

Correct they have Kenny and Salmon who can be used as forwards or backup hooker half.

Yep and the fact BA keeps putting him in this position shows he isn't up to coaching the club anymore.

Mate it was so bad half the crowd were jeering him onto the field when we were down by 20 with 5 to go even though he nothing to do with it.

BA is a grub for the damage he has caused his son in all this.

Mahoney is so predictable. Wrong options in attack close to the line. Throws Crash balls to forwards on tackle 3 and 4 when the back halves should have it. Now is that him or is it our shit coach ? Also he can’t run the ball because he’s too f**king slow. So predictable

I have no issue with his pass selection in the oppositions 20. If he wasn’t so fatigued all the time, his acceleration off the mark is quite good.

 

[Gazzamatta]

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

Both received huge boos when their names were read prior to game time.
"LETS MAKE SOME NOISEEEEE"
The crowd sure did.
I feel for young Jake. No way is it his fault.
