Rd23: Parra v Storm GAME DAY thread 17/8/18

[T-Boon]

The basic reason we had no space was that the Scum left early at every play the ball, and the refs failed to stop them. Once they realised that the rules had changed in their favour , they took full advantage.

In Bleak City there seems to be a different set of rules, how many times did they deliberately slow the ruck down and nothing. Anyway we lost, but the failure to address th line speed as they did earlier in the season, again cost us.

Looking at the recruits and a decent off season under a real conditioner, plus probably moving into a dominant half role should move us into a better season.

Again, a different set of rules last night, and the scum took advantage.

When they do that and the referees aren't pulling them up, I dont know why teams aren't training to "mankat" their defensive line. Just fake to play the ball then hold up. Do it a couple times each set. I have never seen a ref give a penalty for delay of the play the ball. It would destroy their rhythm.

Add to that the same tackle earlier. No fluke. He is a confirmed arsehole of the highest order.

Ffs - that's a wrestling move. That's a f**king inverted DDT:


Chambers is a grub.

 

[Eelementary]

To add one more thing, if there is no suspension handed out to Chambers for probably the worst crusher tackle in at least 3 seasons, we will know that the NRL are completely clueless ( come on down Toddy Boy).

What was even more incomprehensible was the failure to put it on report, but then again it was in Melbourne and reffed by the Suttons.

The NRL are incompetent, spineless, and totally shameless.

I have no confidence in them whatsoever.

It was the second time he did it in the match.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Hey, I agree that Hayne Norman Moses and Salmon all went missing in the last 20 and were playing catch-up footy instead of just going for repeat sets. They all panicked and Storm scrambled like the pros that they are.

Having said that, we were paying the price of our pack being dominated for the first 60m. When Reedy went off we were rudderless. My Mum would have given better service than Stone.

Theres a line there Gronky but im not going there. That would be more disrespectful than even Poo.

 

[Gazzamatta]

The total disrespect for authority and sportmanship displayed by Munster last night MUST be dealt with. He made the league authorities look like idiots with his sin bin walk. If this is not addressed its very clear Melbourne are getting preferential treatment. It was close to the most arrogant and ridiculious effort I have ever seen on a footy field.

There are a few ways to fix it; someone posted last night that for however long it takes him to get off the field that gets added on to his 10min.

Another more extreme deterrent could be they give the player say 10 sec to get off. If he is not off in the 10 sec the ref blows time on while he is still on the field and they are basically playing with an extra man - no 2 points if they win.

Plenty of ways to fix it. You would have to agree his effort last night was the worst ever particularly when he stopped 30cm from the touch line and refused to walk over it. Disgusting.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I think a public flogging of Munster is the only solution.

Bellamy has to watch it happen and then we force feed Bellamy a turd for good measure.

Yep it was bad

 

[Gronk]

Merkins on 2MMM were saying how good we played last night. Nuthuggers too I guess.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Thought Gutho was great at centre and his defence out there was brilliant!!

Our edge defence is heaps better with the addition of Gutho and Hayne. Coreys last line tackles last week and this week on flying fullbacks were inspiring stuff.
Im still not sold on Mennings though. His passing game is diabolical and he looks very lazy at times. His defence has improved but I now see him as being totally dispensable. We need to find a better center I reckon. Kelly from Manly looks ok. Would love Scott from The Storm though. Our fitness has improved dramatically so it must have been a significant issue early. As has been the case for ages, we need better wrestle and quicker play the balls.

Did I see Gutho pat him on the head? He should have clocked him. In fact not one player in our side came in to let him know what they thought. Fire up ffs.

Grade 3.
3 weeks if accepts. 4 weeks if he fights and looses.

Makes you wonder how a Grade 3 charge doesn't even get put on report.

He did. I like Gutho but I don't think he's captain material. The quick tap last night was dumb. I don't think refs take him seriously. It doesn't help when he shows he doesn't know the rules and is trying to tell the referee that it is a scrum from the timed out drop out .

It gets missed?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

It wasn't, though the other one seems to have been.

 

[Glenn]

It gets missed?

With Two Referees, Two Touch Judges and Two Video refs?
