Rd23: Parra v Bulldogs LIVE GAME DAY thread 22/8/19

[Happy MEel]

You wanna talk missing tackles? Cos Brown is being slated for missing 4/45.

Plod Jackson missed 5/34.

Brown missed 6/37 according to NRL stats.

Jackson missed 2/36

 

[Tooooks]

4, actually.

The same as Paulo and fewer than Lane, who missed five and had by his worst game for us.

Scapegoats are hard...

6 according to NRL stats. 3 to Paulo.

 

[Happy MEel]

Yeah, starting a fight with Nathan Brown literally as the referee is speaking to him 35cm away is 100% not a bonehead play...

Seriously, the way some around here lose their minds after a loss should be studied by psychologists

That was actually pretty clever. Jackson was never getting binned for that and he got under Brown’s skin.

Jackson is the toughest player out there tonight. They won because of his tenacity.

I use the official stats at Champion Data. NRL.com is renowned as shit, it's been discussed many times tbh

Our discipline was shit last week. BA says we need to improve our discipline. First half our discipline is as bad, maybe worse than last week. Half time the message from BA is improve your discipline. Second half the discipline gets worse???

The players show how little respect they have for him, he's been interviewed on 360 and the whole time the players are trying to hit him with the ball. How f**king childish, could you see Bellamy or Bennett letting that happen??? But BA is one of the boys who all love playing for BA.........

I thought Josh Jackson was immense for the Dogs - very Hindmarsh-like.

That try-saver on Lane was a thing of beauty...

When did I mention missed tackles?

 

[Eelogical]

Honestly, not to hang shit on Sivo, but I honestly think Semi would have scored at least one (if not two) of those chances, tbh.

Sivo is an exciting prospect, but Radradra is something else entirely.

He is God-like.

If there is any truth to the rumours that he wants to come back to the NRL, then we need to seriously make inquiries with him.

Sivo was excellent tonight. He took all the high kicks that came his way and what a hit he put on in the first half. He's going to get even better. You all have to forget Semi, unless you want to have the NRl's highest paid winger playing behind/outside a mediocre pack. Forwards are where our $ should be spent, our backline is good enough already.

 

[84 Baby]

Spot on...he’s not a bone head.

He was almost binned for escalating the Brown incident

Really? I didn't see that. That's pretty embarrassing - for both our players and BA.

You must be watching a different season of footy to me. I said weeks ago, we aren’t winning the comp, so enjoy the improvement this season. We are a couple of decent forwards short of having a real crack at things. If we aren’t out week one, it’s week two.

And short a coach as well, we are lightyears away from competing. A couple of good forwards will make f**k all difference.

Snookered, Bazal. LOL.

True...

But Semi is simply so much more than a winger.

I'm just saying - Radradra is on a completely different level to most other NRL players (not specifically Sivo, who is only a rookie).

Who cares how many metres he made, he never got over the advantage line once. He stifled our attack all night and he has the slowest play the ball in the comp. I love the blokes passion and how tough he plays it but tonight he was dogshit. He does what Gallen has been doing for years and getting bagged for. At least Gallen gets over the advantage line once in a while with the odd quick play the ball.

Tonight only?

The guy is a handbrake, that should be nowhere near the ball when we’re on the attack.

Ok champ...

Is there actually any evidence that Champion Data is “official”?

I would say that NRL stats are the official data. Until I see anything different or evidence that it is inaccurate, I’ll go with them.

I dont mind that loss.
We been lucky the last month. We are not a top 4 side so we prob best we understand this now.

See my previous post. Champion Data>>>NRL.com

I have heard that. Why doesn’t NRL use them then? A money thing?
