Rd20 Parra v Souths GAME DAY thread 28/7/18

[T-Boon]

I think Kaysa is great value off the bench , 20-30 min per game for impact value. Hope a good off season he can get his body stronger.

I just don't know why we defend with him in the forwards when he is our most involved back. The dummy half back throws more passes and is arguably more important than any other position. Yet here we have a very slight man tackling individuals 30kgs heavier. He needs to be defending in the backs and that spazzo Taka needs to be tackling big Burgess etc.

BA had Kidwell sitting nice and comfy along side him tonight in the coaches box. Also noticed Kidwell at half time in deep discussion with Gutho and Moses (I think). Maybe nothing but maybe some changes have happened?

Pretty sure he has been in the box for a while

Maybe he was sitting on one of massage chairs? They are indeed comfy...

Agree

But a spell of 20-25min from the bench shouldn’t be a problem. Especially if we have the ball for more than 50% of that time

Having only watched the game for 50 odd seasons Im somewhat of a novice so would someone please explain to me the tactics behind receiving a penalty 5 meters from the try line, taking the penalty tap back 10 meters then passing to a forward who runs the ball to be tackled on the original penalty spot?
Another confusing play is when awarded a penalty, why does it take a committee meeting and forever to decide what to do? If the decision is eventually to kick for touch, why do we just meekly kick it with little intent on gaining some distance from the touch finder. These little things all add up and happen every week. Very frustrating to watch.

On the first one the idea is to create a bit of space. I think they would rather get tackled 5 m out rather than 1m out whch is what might happen if the forward took the hitup from the original spot.

The meek kick for touch usually hppens when they are close to the sideline. This allows them to take the tap a bit further infield (10m) rather than close to the sideline. The committee meeting is usually about how the set of 6 will be structured

And both of them chew up some time and allow players to have a breather and get into their correct attacking positions

Both situations give teams a break by just using the rules in place. Alot of situations in the game happen to slow the game down.

In the NFL they use the term “swarm to the ball” when talking about defences.

We never swarm to anything

not true we swarm behind the goalposts while the kicker takes the conversion

 

[The Rosco]

Omg Moses you f**king useless merkin!

Dear Parramatta, this "loser baby" knows his stuff.

Dear Parramatta, this "loser baby" knows his stuff.

Let me guess. A Wtigers supporter.

 

[Happy MEel]

Even if he is a tigers fan, it’s hard to argue with him.

According to NRL stats you have to go back to round 10 for Moses’ last line break or line break assist. Even taking into account his time off through injury, that’s unacceptable for a half.

Thanks mate but they already know I don't.

Agreed.

He's our biggest issue, imo - passenger in defence, and inconsistent with the pill in his mitts.

because he's a 5/8 playing out of position

 

[El Diablo]

Also, we always look smaller than every team!

we obviously need well endowed playa's

 

[Mr Pmatta]

Love ya Jarryd. Your energy early was reminiscent of old but honestly how long does it take to put a fuc**n boot on?

This simple act of putting on a boot is really indicative of our season....no urgency in any facet....quite ridiculous!!!

 

[eel01s]

The refs anally raped us tonight.

But if Moses doesn’t kick out on the full, Marata doesn’t push the pass, Terepo doesn’t offload we might have had a much better shot.

This.

Regarding the Norman sin binning, my 13 y.o son asked why he was sent given the warning happened minutes before, and play had gone to the Souths end before coming back to the Parra end. I thought there was some kind of "reset" as well.

Seems strange the bunker was keen to overrule, yet every week you see a penalty given for a strip when it was a loose carry (or vice versa) with no intervention. Also play was held up to allow for the overturning of the decision. Very strange...

Maybe the injury is still hampering him?
