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

[Avenger]

The Storm are the grubbiest team in the comp. Everything in the ruck when they are defending is questionable and should be penalised. I despise their style of play and wresting in the ruck and the refs are too gutless to penalise the f**k out of them.

We are doing well and everyone is playing well.

 

[The Phelan Folly]

Sack the coach, the assistant coaches, the board, sack Brett Kenny, the trainers, the ball boys and sack the f**king tea lady.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Cartwright has made a massive difference coming on early

Yep.

Was playing lock, reckon that’s his future next year. A lot of the better sides have a more mobile/ 5/8 type at lock.

Just can he handle the defence?

[Cumberland Eel]

Well we’re having a red hot crack at these merkins hopefully we can execute better in the 2nd half.. if we’re allowed…

 

[Bandwagon]

What's going on???

Bushy is actually using his bench???

It's a super secret move, he was saving for the finals,, but thought what the f**k, let's go.

Yep, but now the Storm are sooky in a physical game…

Dylan probably can't pass right to left. He better on the left

Passing right to left is what you do on the left

 

[Chipmunk]

Pretty decent effort in the first half.

Middles have played long minutes so far. Interesting to see how that impacts the second half.

 

[yy_cheng]

I'm sure I read someone post that said willp was a cap defender

 

[Wally21]

We've let ourself down when in good field position and a poor kick or just dam unlucky with the bounce. However the last try come off a similar play that went our way. 5 prior all bounced there way for 7 tackles or a 30mtr break.

Hindy, I’ll take that first half EVERY SINGLE TIME

 

[crocodile]

Did we front load our effort and chase the collision there for that half?

We have been chasing the collision. Speed off the line on the early tackles is rattling the Storm a bit. Should've been like that for the last 6 weeks.

Hope we can keep up the energy for the second half. Only concern is the edge defence again!

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Good first half.

not fussed if we win or lose, just as long we keep this effort up..

this is the effort that gets us through the first week of the finals pretty easily and gives us a chance week 2…..

Never hated a team more, EVER avenger. They are grub merkins

7 tackle sets a blight on the game

Agree. They come from positive plays and all of a sudden you're whole momentum is reversed.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Shoutout to young Will holding his own physically against Olam so far

7 tackle sets a blight on the game

Worst rule in the game.
