Rd22 Parra v Manly GAME DAY THREAD @ Sunshine Coast Stadium 14/8/21

[King-Gutho94]

I think its time to roll and dice and just lie all over them. If they give 6 agains so be it. Slow the game down our current plan of being disciplined and not giving 6 agains isnt working. Game is just too quick

Try the refs patience and try to unsettle the opposition couldnt do any worse. Refs have proven they wont give 20 six agains

 

[Gazzamatta]

52 years and counting

58 but it stops until our coaches are replaced!
Only jokin. Ill be cheering next week.

BA gave absolutely nothing in that presser. He looked like a stunned mullet. If he survives he has to get fresh blood in for his assistants

Why is it always the assistants? The head coach tells them how he wants to play. The buck stops with him. Why should the assistants get the sack but the head coach gets spared? They are all f**king useless. When we get a new head coach we will get new assistants.

 

[Jake the snake]

On reflection I feel really bad for calling for a bloke to lose his job. But I just don’t see anyway out of this. The killer is that I think BA Is a Parra man and he bleeds blue and gold but will he ever win us a comp? The answer is no. So how long do you then persevere with the status quo ?

he’s had 8 years. That’s a fair crack. Better coaches don’t get that many chances

 

[JokerEel]

You can't coach speed.

You definitely can..

You'd have to think these assistants are year to year contracts. Easy to punt to start.

 

[Happy MEel]

You have to make initial contact at the hip or above and then you can slide down to the lower leg. It has been that rule for many years. Everyone is aware of it. It was f**ken stupidity from Lussick.

it was tackle 1, he was simply front loading effort.

And chasing the collision!!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Coaching 101 tells you to line up against the opposing winger full stop

No, it says you protect your inside shoulder. Given you want to get numbers into the tackle it means you need more defenders in the middle than attackers. That's why the edge defenders are closer to the centre of the field than their opposite numbers. This is true for all teams. Then when the ball shifts the middle defence needs to slide and the edge defenders either need to slide and hope the inside defenders can keep up with the attack, or they need to jam and stop the ball getting outside them, in which case the attacking centre/winger become the responsibility of the cover defence. Either way it's a footrace, and we're not going to win too many of those.

Next week we will punch them during the warm up.

 

[Matty Bhoy]

Just back from the game. That was honestly absolutely pathetic. I know they won’t do it, but I’d give BA the tap on the shoulder now. I’m thankful for the way he’s turned the club around but that was not anything close to an NRL standard performance tonight.

 

[Avenger]

Either way it's a footrace, and we're not going to win too many of those.

And who's fault is that for not identifying a lack of pace out wide?

And by his own admission in the presser he has no answer. So please, just f**k off.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Again I ask why is Nathan Brown first receiver? It’s not his fault it’s how they are coached

So the halves can stand wider in attack. Every team does it. Jake Trbojevic threw 18 passes today and only ran 8 times. Nrown's problem is he runs too often.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Manly do it with their lock….roosters do it …panthers do it ……a lot of sides do it ….

“Middle half”

Yep.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

This is embarrassing. Again first receiver second receiver forwards

Haha yeah, you would never see the top sides doing that.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

What ? you have said we are a better defensive team and a better team than last year.

So you agree we're a better attacking team than last year?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Again first receivers are forwards

Do you want to see them on the end of the f**ken backline??? Where should they be getting the ball if not at first receiver?

 

[chiefy1]

And who's fault is that for not identifying a lack of pace out wide?

Its obvious that posters like Pau aren't going to backtrack on their beliefs, but deep down they realize that ba is a dead man walking. It's not confidence, it's not luck, it's a lack of coaching knowledge that translates through the team.
He's done.
