Rd24: Parra v Brisbane GAME DAY THREAD @ Suncorp 25/8/22

[Gazzamatta]

Listening to the TCT instant reaction pod, I think that the glowing accolades are a tad overblown. [Yeah not an invitation for a TCT sledge merkins]

Brisbane lost their quarterback in the first 20m, they then got hit with the injury stick for the rest of the match.

Whilst I was pleased that we took advantage of their misfortune and was thankful that the footy gods finally favoured us, I'm too scarred to get super enthusiastic about last night.

I absolutely appreciate their content and generally listen to and read the majority of their offerings but my resolve starts to waver a tad each time the JA love fest starts which is often. Id rather trust my own eyes. I reckon they place way too much pressure on the kid which may contribute to fan negativity. Best to just let him develop without the hyperbole. If hes good enough he will make it. Just my opinion.

JT interviewing Clint and calling him King Gutho at Lang Park after the game.

JT didnt even think when he said it just rolled off the tounge.

I didnt think Queenslanders would ever call someone else the king at Lang Park after Wally.

Drown / Opacic need to push up with Lane a bit more, pretty much every run by Lane should be seen as a possible offload/lb such is his form …..there was a couple times yesterday he had the offload ready but no one there….

Yeh, someone needs to be off his hip all game.

To be fair most weeks they are not in super in favour of his selection. So unsure why you think it's a love fest.

Like me, they usually conclude that the coaching staff know more than we do, so I don't think you are giving them credit where credit is due.

As I posted this morning in Team List Tuesday, Moses said afterwards to 2MMM that he went into the game with a dodgy ankle. Hence Shrub on the bench. The Carty court thing was disruptive as well.

 

[Gronk]

Well said Gronky but there are a couple of changes that increase my hope.
. Our play the ball was the fastest Ive seen throughout BAs tenure.
. Rheed looking to enguage the markers.
. Sivo actually having a go. His ptb was outstanding.
. Our sliding in D looks better organised.
. Gutho reverting to how Gutho use to play.
. Marata turning from major disappointment into our intimidation leader.
All great improvements. Dare I say we looked like a team thats actually being coached. More please.

The Broncos didn't lay all over us like most teams. Their line speed and completions were horrific.

I was worried about Atkins and the impact he might have had, given he doesn't often do us any favours, but once we took the crowd out of the game, he seemed to not be as influenced as he can be.

And hearing the Sivo Sivo Sivo chant at one point was legendary.

Maybe Im more tuned into it but its not how I see it. Agree to disagree mate.

A couple of early decisions didnt go our way, particularly with that call from the bunker. In other matches our heads drop off after those moments and others like a simple drop ball, however Gutho's one on one steal proved how focused the boys were, no panicking, rev the boys up. I thought his performance was great last night.

Wally will pour his man shake all over JT next time he sees him.

He did also suggest we sign the scrotum biter

and when the Ponies beat us about a month back, he said we wouldn't make the 8

Haha it was a Try assist & all part of the game plan.

Jake knows how shit our attack inside the 10m so threw the ball back 30m to allow us to have some width and space.

Opacic 2nd try came 2 tackles later.

That's what I thought. We attack better further from the try line

Guth just backing up and being everywhere is what he does best.

TCT gave our entire 1-17 an A rating. There were several players who didn't deserve such a high rating, imo.

Lol
Blake,Opacic,Mahoney,Makatoa,Kafusi,JA
None where bad but none where more then B

Bs are good

Not everyone is as resilient as @Gronk who just brushes off all the wet lettuce attacks.

I had to put Gronk in his place. I'm top dog rnd here. The merkin was making to much noise.

You're very competative. Life's not a competition you know.

And if it was, it's OK to come 2nd, 3rd or even 20th. Don't beat yourself up mate.

2 weeks for that is a joke … I’m not sure it was even a shoulder charge
