Rd24: Parra v Melbourne GAME DAY THREAD @ Suncorp 28/8/21

[SLRBRONCOS]

Sorry to gate crash the party boys but I find this this victory so poetic and you should all be proud. Melbourne (+the refs in the GF) ruined the 2009 season that you deserved. To trample their chances at an outright record while under strength is just glorious and won't be forgotten by most NRL fans.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Is this an I told you so post?

Well you did laugh at me!!

but to be honest, the win is totally unexpected. I was just hoping to be in the game at half tome.

let’s enjoy the win

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Yep for me!! He is a Storm supporter!! Ha ha

haha you’ve got some shit stirring material for life then!!

 

[DissapointedParraFan]

That might have been Fergos best game in a parra jersey, 2 tries and unreal defence.

 

[DissapointedParraFan]

The deadshit tigers fans are real quiet tonight

 

[Wally21]

So before we all turn on each other and say shit like, see I told you so. Or I was right you were wrong, let’s just enjoy what was one of the most courageous performances in years. And yes, we have all had opinions on the coach etc, but get over yourself, have a f**king whisky and enjoy the boys singing the team song!!! f**k YEAH!!!

If we replicate that performance, we’ll win in week 1 assuming we’re outside the top 4.

If we replicate that we'd have a fair chance of winning a top 4 game

So Marata went off 51st minute after foul play. Why didn’t we use Oregan as 18th man ?

I see opportunities every week and rarely see the 18th man used, i am always a bit puzzled by it like there is a specific rule that entitles you?

Pensini defence has been very good as well

 

[Sphagnum]

f**k MELBOURNE!!!

You can stay

 

[Captain BF]

I said it last week and I'll say it again, I reckon we've got a real good'un in Penisini.

Needs to be a sinbin for 18th man to be activated

 

[Avenger]

That intensity was insane. Every player played to the maximum. Fantastic effort. What a win.

 

[Mickyd39]

WOW, what a win. Outstanding.

I believe Fergy needs to be re-signed.

 

[Sphagnum]

I see BA's plan and we've been duped........its the Ambush plan. We'll played.
We’ll to start calling him Ambushy ffs!!

It’s technically called an ambald

 

[Gronk]

WOW, what a win. Outstanding.

I believe Fergy needs to be resigned.

He won’t take a one year deal I reckon.

What do people make of Dunster? I see him as smart type in attack. His draw and pass looks safe and natural compared to a Sivo. Better hands etc. A little stronger then I first thought. Unsure how far he will get in the NRL. There is a few good things about him. If he can gain a little more power his half breaks will start to turn into breaks. Pokes his head through well.
His defense and reading needs a little work. But he can develop this.

Our issue tonight was 5 x bombs that we tapped back and everytime it went to the Storm. They then went downfield for 35mtrs. Another time Moses almost got it but knocked over the in goal for a 7 tackle set. Add Moses bomb that was caught on the full. 7 kicks when we where attacking that didn't go our way. We need to be cautious of this. A good kick chase and worse result is pinning them 10 put rather then putting them on the attack.
Had we gotten those 7 kicks right we probably win tonight by 20.

Fair point, there seemed to be no point to those tap backs. Just tap it back and hope for the best. Just catch and run...

 

[IFR33K]

I must say, this is the best win I’ve watched ever. Melbourne had a shitload of ball, and would of won 5 games, any other day of the week, against any opponent. Our goal line D was immense.

Better than Sivo
