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

[forward pass]

A good captain would have told his players to feign injury when Jarryd was putting his boot on. Kill time.

We would have needed 2 ambulances and a medi cab to cover the time he took. Maybe his laces WERE knotted too tight. Good call that.

get them into velcro boots FFS!

Please tell me someone is trolling that wanker Saints troll today?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I didn't see the game so wont comment on that. A fair few on here seem to think there was some shocking decisions but whether that is due to blue and gold glasses, I can't say.

Have a look in the game day forum. The only people who don't think we were dudded are Souths fans.

19 meters - another disgraceful performance from French. Missed tackles and dropped balls that lead to tries. Continues to be thrown into touch.
It's brad's choice to continue to choose players out of form and the remainder of this team is asked to make up the difference.

Brad deserves everything he receives, and if the review committee decided to head into a new direction, brad can be seen to have dug his own grave

The problem is there's no-one better available. Did you see the Wenty squad yesterday? None of them are better wingers than French.

Whats your opinion Poo? Square up?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I think Souths didn't turn up, the refs thought it was their fault and Burgess helped convince them. In the second half they were preoccupied with 'fixing' things. It's just human error. The real problem is the rules of the game. Refs are asked to do too much. There are potentially dozens of ref decisions every minute. Even the non-calls impact the game. Rugby league is shit.

That might be true but do you think I'm going to take you merkins word for it? Noise reckons there was only 1 shocker. Small sample size I know.

You bastard! I am not in the mood for a discussion with Pou.

 

[Gazzamatta]

I reckon it was one of the most noticable square ups I've ever seen. The Burgess remonstration towards Peni Ts so called dropped ball was laughable.

Yep. That's the decision that I was referring to.

Don't shoot the messenger.

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to accept that teams go from good to bad and bad to good within the short window of time called the half-time break. Sure as eggs the refs will even up a lopsided penalty count in the second half and I don't think I'm imagining it.

 

[T.S Quint]

Yep. That's the decision that I was referring to.

What did you think of Souths' first penalty, which led to their first try?
When Moeroa was penalized for flopping on the player despite Moses having fallen off the tackle. Was a terrible decision that just began all the rot.

I reckon the tackle was probably completed and can cop the call of a flop. If it was souths flopping on us in the same situation I’d be calling for a penalty.
But everyone sees things differently.

I reckon you and the refs would be the only ones who would think that way. No way was the tackle complete. If he was able to get up and run again I would not have batted an eyelid. Actually I would have been cursing Moses for missing the tackle.

Did the ref call held? If not, maybe they should consider it for every tackle.

Wont matter mate. They can put a flag up then change their mind in this new and improved game we now play.

I'd say he just doesn't how to tie his own laces.
