Rd3: Parra v Dogs GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank Stadium 23/3/25

[emjaycee]

When we got the obscure penalty 25 out, we should have taken the 2.
We don't have enough confidence to try and score in that situation... and we bombed it.

 

[84 Baby]

Nein thinks Dogs attack is just sharper. A bar of soap is sharper than our attack. Lussick hasn’t helped, although at least he looks like he’s trying to force Brown to f**ken do amything

 

[hineyrulz]

Is he playing......the spine is busting their arse....and our 6 who is probably on double what the 4 other spines in the 17 are on, is doing SFA.....

He’s not having a crack, whoever said he’s sulking because we didn’t offer him what he wanted looks to be on the money.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Lomax trying the hero play - chip over the top in your own half in the final minute before the break... shades of Jason Bell!

Smart play with secs left...

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Yeah I have no issue with Lomax doing that and it nearly paid off. Where's Brown? Id be more confident in the second if we had decent halves and a hooker

 

[Gronk]

Look, at least we are better than last week.

We are not going to get close in any games this year with a 40/60 possession rate.

Hold the f**king ball.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

We are playing without second rowers.

Drown is not using his....so that side is stuffed....and Hawkins / Kautoga first ever game together, so shouldn't expect to much there...

 

[Stevie]

Think they have pretty much swapped....but letting lomax keep the centre jumper...

It’s 50/50 it seems attack vs defence. Let the kid learn NRL playing where he’s played his whole career.

Otherwise, I’d think he could have a serious crack at the #11 or #12 jersey!

 

[the phantom menace]

We need second rowers and centres bad..

Williams attempt at tackle on the first try was diabolical.

He was playing at prop... there's a argument that our hooker should have been defending somewhere near by those two middles (Williams and Hopgood) as well.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

We've been much better this week at limiting metres. It's when we drop the ball or the ref decides to blow a penalty that they can get in our half

 

[jk13]

Samrami is the bastard son of Ben smith

 

[Cumberland Eel]

We are playing without second rowers.

We’re ahead of the curve Hiney the world isn’t ready for Rylesball

 

[Suitman]

Pensiiiiiii’s defence is atrocious.

It's not so much his defence, but our whole defensive structure.
I was seriously hoping that Ryles would bring a bit of Melbourne to us.
I saw it during our first trial, when we slid in defence. It worked well.
I don't understand why we've gone away from that.
Sliding defence always puts more pressure on the attacking team, and either forces the attacking team towards the sideline or cuts out their attacking opportunities.
It forces the inside defensive players to work harder. So be it.
Good crowd btw.

Lane 2 runs for 11 metres in 35 minutes. A senior player and should be a leader.

Zero ticker, offers nothing, should never see first grade again.

Hold the f**king ball.

It's also the many six agains today when the opposition have the ball - it all mounts up.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Definitely pissed we are losing especially after the 3 tries were just simple individual errors......but can see some of structure Ryles is putting in place. Line speed pretty good and limited the metres. Plus backs taking a lot more runs then previous years...

attack is struggling a bit with scoring....Pitty our "x" factor isn't doing much...

The problem is some f**ken deadshit isn’t doing the f**ken job he’s required to do so everyone recognises our attack is going to individual effort and luck. That play by Lomax shows exactly where the team mindset is. Hawkins barking in the huddle is the only thing that gives me hope.

 

[Timana]

Put Lomax to 6.

Wtf, i said that a week ago plus the captaincy and was laughed at

We're missing a voice still

Mate I don’t think the stats tell the story. He has been strong in defence and slowing down the ruck. Also Brown is f**king useless at bringing him into the game

He's got such an advantage in his frame / size as we've seen back in 2022, but seems to never both using it any more. Lazy - but has a player option so doesn't really have to try.
