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

[I'm a loser baby...]

f**k, getting sleepy watching this. Someone tell me how it ends.

 

[King-Gutho94]

But you could count on one hand the times his speed has ever been useful. Trust me, I know counting. I don't know whether that's down to him but I suspect mostly not.

We certainly haven't utilised it.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I suggested this years ago. Not sure if I've mentioned it.

I made it happen. Got all the coaches in the room and said "do it, FFS".

 

[Eelementary]

I reckon we should try to extend Sivo - the way he is playing, he's worth a decent upgrade.

Blake is a mystery, but he's a good player; form is temporary, but class is permanent, and he is a classy player.

I'd be happy with Cini taking Opacic's spot - though I would have preferred we kept Opacic. Absolutely brilliant, calm, and composed defender.

Plus, Opacic is a dreamboat, but that's another story...

Pretty sure that was Gronk again

 

[hindy111]

We persisted with Simonsson because we lack speed and he adds plenty of it.

You think he is faster then Waqa or Sivo? Tbh I thought he was but from what I have seen he is not. Fair speed but not electric.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I don't know how Gutho passed that far end over end. Must be eating meat again.

He does but unfortunately never exploited. I can't recall any time he was given the ball in a useful position.

He's a noted speedster but few opportunities. He'd eat Sivo for speed but not power. Not sure about Waqa. His ol' man was quick too.

 

[TheParraboy]

Sivo has been impressive. Made me eat my words thinking he was a bit lazy and slow and we would be better served with Russell.

Seemed to have picked up some pace across 15-20 metres, ran down Coates easily after being shown the tryline. Also street smarts as well with that hand on ball (out on the full kickoff by Munster). His runs are also getting harder and faster, another thing I thought he was lacking

That being said, Id imagine he keeps it up will get offered a Union contract which we wont be able to match.
Russell and Dunster are not bad wing replacements, moving forward.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Zuchini is being developed for replacement of Opacic next year.

edit: FFS @lucablight

Firstly. I have been very anti Sivo. I still think he could do more but his last 2 games are probably the best hes ever played. Somethings changed and I like it a lot.
Waqa should stay on the wing at best. I think his time as an Eel is in countdown mode.
Cici absolutely deserves to start at center next year but will it happen? Probably not knowing BA.
Dunster and Russell should be considered strongly for Waqas wing spot.
Thats a pretty good and not expensive backline. Should leave plenty to re sigh Mitch and Dyl.
Can we affort Lodge? How good is he playing. Hed be a great replacement for Marata and Kaufusi.

Dosent get enough credit does Oppy.

No he's faster than Opacic, who replaced him in the side. Blake just moved to the wing. Personally I prefer Opacic because the main purpose of centres is defence.

Inside centres need to defend, but outside centres are the ones that need to score all the tries.

Obviously Oatley pies.

Yeah but he's made of money.

 

[strider]

Obviously Oatley pies.

Well he is rich ... those f**kers are too expensive now
