Rd20: Parra v Roosters GAME DAY thread @ Mackay 29/7/21

[Avenger]

Unless he is 10 metres from the line Sivo is a lazy useless slug. What the f**k is wrong with him and why is he defending at centre?

Maybe Arthur in future shouldn’t telegraph our game plan by spinning the ball out wide so early because we look f**king hopeless doing it with no pace out wide.

f**k they are pissing me off tonight.

 

[Eelementary]

At the risk of getting flamed...

I reckon we're in this.

Flame away

 

[Noise]

We're Bulldogs level in attack. Maybe worse

At least Barrett had the balls to hook Flanagan mid game.

I know he is tonight's whipping boy - and he has done some dumb shit ..... but he is doing ok against toupanpua in defense

He has been very very bad. He capped it off at end of half with a kick on 3rd. With 60 seconds left before halftime.
I don't think any criticism is unfair.

 

[Incorrect]

Bullshit. Plenty of tries are scored in the first 20 minutes, particularly when teams have all the possession. You make so much shit up.

No he's right. Ask the Tigers, they were happy to be 24 nil down and having not touched the ball after the first 15 minutes v the Storm a few weeks back...

 

[PARRA_FAN]

What the heck are these tactics? They get a good run with Papa then go backwards about 10 m throwing these floaters making it easy for the Roosters defence. This attack is absolutely diabolical. Nothing has changed from last week.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

But...I like to whinge!

In all seriousness, I'm concerned, because we had a lot of ball in the first 20 minutes, and couldn't crack the Roosters' defence.

Their defence has been very good. Great effort off the ball. They are working hard.

 

[Jake the snake]

It’s the “effort on effort” that’s really impressing me. All about the effort areas

 

[Homo man69]

Why are we kicking on the 3rd? Stupid stupid tactic.
If Brad Arthur keeps picking his son. He will not only lose more games but he will also start losing respect from the team. Jake needs to be immediately replaced with Will Smith

Definitely- credit to the Roosters' defence. They've been great.

I'm talking about his defense FFS

 

[hindy111]

seriously - you'd think we are losing by f**kin 30 from this thread

We have been outplayed by a fair margin imo. We look unable to score.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Disagree entirely. If we had any idea in attack it would have been 6 or 12 nil to us, which completely changes the game.
Knowing our halves won’t score points would be pretty deflating for our big men, so I can see why they might get a bit loose in the middle.

They're professional athletes not deadshit fans looking for a scapegoat. If they've given up they don't deserve to win.

 

[robert gower]

very sad watching the game thank god for gutho at the back Smith not bad now hes on but so sad watching this crap hope both JA & his Father are gone by next season we will be lucky to win another game this year

 

[the phantom menace]

This is salvageable, but will be hard with one our our front rowers missing from the rotation.

 

[hindy111]

As soon as we went 6-0 I knew we where cactus.

Those stats surprise me - we have more broken tackles, and possession?

Interesting...

 

[strider]

yet we are only 12 down .... yay us!!!

 

[Noise]

Our defence is a bigger problem, and the solution is to control the ball.

Bullshit. Our defence isn't too bad. Their defence is horrid. We have held the ball more than the Roosters (Possession 52% to 48%).Our attack is diabolical. We bust more tackles but can't do anything the next play.
