Rd21: Parra v Souths GAME DAY THREAD @ cbus stadium 6/8/21

[TheParraboy]

I think our troubles being limp as a leaf this time of year goes back to the spoon in 2018

We were 0 from 6 I think that year , never really recovered.

Next 3 seasons we have come out of the gate looking like a genuine premiership threat

Reckon these last 3 season we get flogged in pre-season. Turn up for the year fit-as and that alone has got us some wins, particularly against the better sides.

As season progresses the better sides not only get game fitter (and match us easily in this area) but seem a whole lot mentally tougher, even against sides that are depleted with their main players out injured, and this is where we falter. Always have

Just watching Burton I’ve had massive raps on this kid for a few years now. Great signing for the Bulldogs. Meanwhile our overrated toilet boy 5/8 has ONE TRY ASSIST in 17 games. What a complete joke

Maybe we can give them Dylan Brown and Sivo for Burton.

It was smart business by the Dogs and they got a future super star on the cheap. I’d swap out whole team for Burton. Skill, vision, he’s a natural

Buck stops with BA. It's over. Deep down you know it and despite this article he knows it too.

Brad Arthur says the Eels can still win the title. Every shred of evidence says the opposite

I cannot wait for a change and he can take some of his favourites with him. I couldn't give a shit who they are.

Shuffling deck chairs, like every time the Tigers and Bulldogs sack a coach.

We’ve been loyal and have had him for nearly a decade you f**king idiot. If it was up to you Kearney would be in his 12th season with us.

Haha. So true.
The more Pou posts, the more he makes a fool of himself.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

But but we are a better defensive team this year..

Only Melbourne and Manly have conceded fewer points this year than last year. So have fourteen teams become worse defensively or have the rules changed?

We're better than most, but not elite. Our defence relies heavily on controlling the ball.

I was pointing this out to merkins in the off season and no one would listen. Everyone thought our bench had been significantly improved.








What a surprise that our bench still offers SFA. But now our starting 13 can't construct an offence or defence either

That's because merkins only care about our attack. They don't care about a forward's ability to make effort on effort in defence. This is the true value of RCG, not his random 40 metre tries scored through his support play. Kaufusi is a loss as well.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Trouble is, he's shown me nothing to suggest he is a fullback or a centre either. He can tackle, and he scrambles very well. But that's about all he can do.

How about the line breaks from nothing?

I think toilet boy has a blocked pipe. Do you know anyone who can help?

You reckon Burton is going to kill it at the Dogs next year?

lol yeah, he's going to fix their defence

I didn’t say that you f**k wit. Seriously you have f**king issues.

Their defence is a bigger problem than their attack. Burton's kicking game might help them control the ball better but they need a lot more help than that.

You asked me if Burton would kill it. I said yes. You then said but Burton would not fix their defence. You see how you twist and turn things.

Burton shows these awesome glimpses. But he doesn't control a game like Cleary who grinds teams into the ground. I reckon Burton's kicking is good but not great. His running game however is brilliant.
