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

[Eelementary]

cartwright is a rubbish alternative to RCG ...... and hipgrave is just Stone mark II

I don't rate Hipgrave, but he's a better player than Stone.

Cartwright has plenty of issues, but he same some size.

Stone...I am not sure he's a First Grade player...

We will be sliding down the ladder faster then the Jamaican bobsled team.

Our spirit has been destroyed

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.

And he should be giving 100%
But he’s hardly had a great season.
And it’s not really inspirational stuff yelling at your teammate to stop being a stupid merkin.
And too busy whinging there to step in front of Manu

I'm afraid I have run out of patience with BA.

I'll keep supporting him, but we would be best served moving him on, imo.

Welcome to the club. Only way I see us moving him is if we lose our remaining games.

You didn’t watch cool runnings?

 

[hindy111]

Nothing in attack. Nothing

Bullshit. Didn't you see N.Brown take a hit up on the 3rd? Great move.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

No sorry to say but they are gone. Mentally gone!! That is a rubbish performance tonight. They cant beat a depleted Roosters team, what hope have they got in the finals. They are wasting their time in the finals.

No debate from me - he hasn't had a great year.

But it seems clear (to me, at least) that the coach won't call players out for playing poorly, so Gutherson steps in to do so as skipper.

I'd prefer a calmer approach, sure - but I don't begrudge him. Opacic is a bone-head.

Yep where going down hill quicker then them

 

[Jake the snake]

It’s not official. But I dare say that’s our season.

but but but we had the perfect half for the game apparently @Poupou Escobar

Welcome to the club. Only way I see us moving him is if we lose our remaining games.

Continue with the attitude tonight and you might get your wish

 

[Noise]

JA another 7 tackle set...And someone on the field just said to him "good kick you f**king spastic" haha

 

[robert gower]

watching the boys tonight reminds me of how the doggies fans feel week after week not to mention the Tigers LOL

 

[Lethal]

gutho is one clueless dumbarse......lucky hes fit

Overrated as hell and dumb as f**k

If that’s the case (I don’t reckon it is - BA sticks with players but I reckon he tells them they’re shit at training) then he should be calling BA out on it as captain

Sounding like it’s my fault. I’m sure most will be happy if he’s moved on.

 

[Chipmunk]

We've completely lost our way...

We were given plenty of opportunities to score but our attack is clueless. The only way we looked like scoring was off a plucky last tackle bomb and hope for the best.

Our defence wasn't really put under that much pressure during the game, but when it was it went missing very quickly.

Sure the injuries during the contest didn't help our cause, but we didn't look likely even when they were out there. I'm not sure Waqa Blake would have done any better than Smith under the circumstances anyway.

That Roosters side isn't even that good, but we made them look like World beaters. All the errors and penalties from the Roosters couldn't even keep us in the contest.

I'm not looking forward to the next five games at all. The signs have been there for a fair while now, but as I expected against another Top 6 side, all our defiencies were going to be duly exposed.

 

[84 Baby]

I’m gonna break quarantine and go find a dog 10kms away to boot another 10kms

 

[Happy MEel]

This is a carbon copy of last year. Moses gets injured, our worsening attack becomes non-existent and we never really recover

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Don’t forget it’s the effort areas that count

Would've kept the Chooks from scoring five tries.
