Rd2: 4:05pm Parra v Wests Tigers GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank 16/3/25

[JokerEel]

Watching this game at the ground in attack we just have 1 player running at the defense not multiple no wonder we aren't scoring

 

[Gronk]

It's shocking how much we have regressed since spoon bowl. Only a few players can hold their heads up.

Storm are very good and you had an excuse. Tigers were garbage.

 

[Timana]

Sams been good

 

[The Predictor]

It does have Kearney vibes.
Ryles is probably not a terrible coach but he is not good either. 98% of the NRL coaches are a waste of time.
Ryles should not have put his hand up for this job.

Agreed….these guys have no idea the entity u are taking on when taking this job.

 

[T-Boon]

Ryles needs to cut Brown now. I know that’s only going to put more pressure on the rookies but I think he’s a drain on the team. They showed footage of him directing play and yet we looked like we were playing under 12s. This season is already going to be tough development for the rookies, even to the extent it may ruin some of them, but I think that risk is greater with Brown “leading” them

If a trade could be sorted out for sure but if not I would try Brown at centre but I have no idea who we would bring into the halves.

 

[Pazza]

I don't see iongi doing much more than guth

It's his third game in FG, I remember gutho playing on the wing for us when he was young. Fans thought he was dog shit

 

[Eelctrifying]

Very curious what is said in the presser.

 

[Eelementary]

You will demolish us - what are you talking about?

What did I tell you, @The Silverdale Phantom?

 

[T-Boon]

He needs to be pushing in support more

In support of what?

 

[Timana]

Watching this game at the ground in attack we just have 1 player running at the defense not multiple no wonder we aren't scoring

This is how you strip teams out wide as it holds the defense up . It was really good in the first trial actually but since then we're probably bigger or noone telling them to run as decoys

 

[T-Boon]

Very curious what is said in the presser.

I could see Ryles doing a "Mal Meninga in politics" interview

 

[Timana]

Exactly.

We should be
1 Gutho
2 iongi
3 zac
4 willp barely
5 jac

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

So apart from everything I just read on the previous 17 pages, everything else is all good yeah?

 

[The Predictor]

I agree

I don't get the Hopgood love at all

His honeymoon is well and truly over, he was one of our worst today

 

[Parra Pride]

I wish we still had good lower grades like we have had in the past when we were crap in first grade and needed some hope.

Who would’ve thought years of pushing through BA’s hell spawn would cause issues?

 

[T-Boon]

It was an appealing decision to let him go a year early.

Gutherson and RCG should have been retained but I think they wanted extensions on their contracts and so went somewhere they could get one.

 

[Pazza]

Exactly.

We should be
1 Gutho
2 iongi
3 zac
4 willp barely
5 jac

You're just going to have to deal with the start up costs.

Iongi, Smith, tuivati but atm there are just too many of them

 

[Stevie]

Russell has been schooled by Teruva. He is a reserve grader every day.

I genuinely think it’s time for us to make a call on Penisini. He’s not become the player we’d hoped and he is not a first grader. Let’s admit defeat and f**k him off.

 

[84 Baby]

It was an appealing decision to let him go a year early.

I reckon he’d have had one foot out the door as well, which is only one less than Brown.
