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

[IFR33K]

Lol oppa. And to think someone mocked me when I said he shouldn’t be picked. One very average player

 

[Happy MEel]

probably the best bomb of the night .... you're it next week Will

He should have been it 15 minutes into last week’s game.

 

[Eelementary]

When’s Gutherson off contract, and at his current standard, would you bother re-signing him?

Are we just going to ignore his 3 try-saving tackles, his half-breaks, and passes leading to breaks?

He's in a form slump, but he's still better than his teammates, tbh...

 

[Noise]

These merkins are done for the year. But as long as BA gives his boy some game time that's what matters most.

 

[robert gower]

I recon the dogs would beat us tonight sad to watch

 

[84 Baby]

I'd normally agree.

However:

* Opacic dropped a ball under no pressure
* Opacic f**ked up a simple try
* Opacic missed a tackle which led to theor second try

Gutherson has clearly had enough.

That dropped ball is on Sivo, tbh.

It showed his mindset. You reckon Tedesco would’ve said that to any of his players. I don’t care how badly anyone is playing. He’s the captain. If he’s gonna talk that, that’s how the team is gonna play.
And that dropped pass was never on. Desperation stuff. f**ken pathetic effort tonight. None of them deserved to be fed. And Gutho should be made to do extras tonight.

 

[Oscarman]

Can we still miss the finals?

 

[the phantom menace]

I didn't expect us to win tonight being honest, but I did expect us to compete. We lost the forward/ruck battle, and our defence has been diabolical.

 

[Jake the snake]

We could possibly go the rest of the year without winning a game. That’s how badly coached we are

 

[lucablight]

The deficiencies of limited players gets masked big time when the team is constantly winning.

 

[Noise]

Lucky we are a better team than last year.

 

[Eelementary]

I also want to applaud BA's selections - having Lane, Kaufusi, Smith, and Stone on the bench, is a stroke of genius; RCG goes down, and we only have 2 bigs to replace him with.

Bravo.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Lol. Roosters have conceded tries in the first 20 minutes in 14 of their 18 games this year. In fact, it looks like they’re most vulnerable in this time. But you keep apologising with no evidence to back you up and I’ll keep being a dead shit fan.

I'm sure they've conceded tries. I just don't think repeat sets worry them too much.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Why no short kickoff?

 

[84 Baby]

It doesn't really suit our squad does it?

Slam that window shut now. We’ll rebuild now around Penisini. f**k the rest of this merkins

so who else could have been on the bench that would have been better?

I don't agree at all.

The pass wasn't a great play, but Sivo made eye contact with Gutho - he knew the pass was coming.

Sivo simply half-arsed it, like he usually goes about his business.

His spray to Opacic was well-warranted.

Like him or hate him, Gutho is out there giving 100% every match - he has every right to blow up at people doing stupid shit, imo.

 

[lucablight]

Cartwright

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Teams are rushing up on us in defence, both up the middle and on the edges without fear. They know we don't have the composure or ability to adjust and shift with confidence to take advantage of their staggered defensive lines... Watch Toupinua every defensive set

We are missing Moses.
