Rd25: Parra v Storm GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank 1/9/22

[IFR33K]

Good win. Great effort to finish 4th when at times we looked certain for a 6-8th finish

 

[Gary Gutful]

Those 12 point turnarounds can’t happen in finals

They can if you are ahead by more than 12.

Probs more likely people are saying he is good but not great. What he does usually works well vs Storm (and Panfers). Has he shown a plan B?

Let's hope he revs 'em up for the 2nd half

Sorry, what were you saying?

Great win but the soft defence at the end is a worry.

They just become complacent. In a way a good lesson. Had those plays ended in ourself scoring and its 36-4 the players do it again next time around.
They'll learn at 20-0 still need to just play it safe. You don't need more points. You just want to keep them from getting any. Or making it as difficult as possible. It's more about field position and making them have to take larger risks to make meters and score points.

 

[Eelogical]

That was a great example of playing the long game. Not going to be too critical apart from the short dropouts. Suck shit Storm you filthy grub merkins of a grubby shit filthy merkin of a grub club.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Yeeeeeew. Sinking a quiet one at the new royal Oak in honour of a magnificent 70 mins.

Merkins on channel 9 talking up a possible head butt to the chin on the way down in Moses' great tackle on Bromwich? Absolute rubbish...

 

[84 Baby]

Lol Gal trying to compare Moses head to NAS’s elbow

 

[The Phelan Folly]

the Scum bias in the 9 commentary team is a thing of beauty

 

[the phantom menace]

I didn't realise Cam Smith is taller than Gallen... unless he is wearing those Tom Cruise heels hidden behind the desk?

 

[yy_cheng]

I want to say, it's so good having oppa there

Knowing Drown is safe in defense, having oppa there also sure up that lhs. You know 1 on 1 he"ll get the job done. So sivo can show the winger the Sideline and knowing guth will be sweeping across

 

[Happy MEel]

Greetings from Crackenback legends. What a cracking game and an outstanding performance. Full credit to the boys (and BA) on a top 4 finish. Credit where it’s deserved. I’ll just say that the slide defence which we’ve all been calling for is a much better defensive structure. I’m not sure why it’s taken until now, but good on the coaching staff for working on it.

 

[yy_cheng]

Paps really needs a break. It's not the first time he is so knackered and misses tackles. I'm sure marata or matto couldve came back on for him

 

[yy_cheng]

The BA haters must be burning. Good win boys. I thought top 4 was gone a month ago.

Not really. He is showing what he can do and its good

Whats funny is we may have to beat Penrith 4 x this season to win the Grand final.
And if we did lose next week most likely would face the Storm again. Canberra are coming home well. They'll be very physical.

As long as we stay away from south's and maybe chooks we should go OK.

I really reckon the sharks and cows will falter

Why do they keep their Jerseys on? Wouldn't it better to change into something drier

 

[the phantom menace]

RCG was being very "civil" to Fittler there, given the Origin situation... busted Reg not being able to hold his poker face in the final 30secs of Fittler talking to Paulo though, and looking away!

 

[Wally21]

Just on the way home from the game. Outstanding effort from the boys. Yes they let in some easy tries in the end, but it seemed at the ground that Ice was absolutely rooted and he made some misses.
Either way, I’ll take a great win at home over the grub merkins every single time.
GO YOU MIGHTY EELS!!!!!

Or just go shirtless like "0-pack" Reed...
