Rd4: 405pm Parra v Manly GAME DAY THREAD @ Brookvale 30/3/25

[Joshuatheeel]

Really good effort, defence looks to be improving! Completing our sets better then previous weeks. It's a good base to build on.

Obviously attack is poor when attacking the line. Inexperience is showing, we are going to sideways and no one in middle is creating space for the edges. Walker will make a huge difference.

You guys look like you don't even train

@T-Boon is our new coaching director

 

[T-Boon]

Is there any news on when Mitch Moses is back?

I have read from AI that he is back week after next.

 

[Noise]

would that be the TCT training reports? Those amateurs don’t know anything. It’s been proven time after time. But they are sponsored by the leagues club so they get free food at the games for positive training reports

lol yep. They had Kelma and Papalii as the best in pre season

 

[JokerEel]

Must say we have defended well with only 46% of the ball..

Those 2 tries should not have been scored

 

[The Predictor]

Only four games in, any regrets regarding ryles appointment? we have absolutely no points in us…..we looked better under Brad and more so Trent, this is beyond trash

 

[Pazza]

They aren't getting the ball

yes, we need to use them for the defense to respect them

 

[hineyrulz]

It's ok princess.
Don't need to apologize for the coach already

What can we do Brad to turn things around?? Front load our effort areas or chase our collisions. Ryles needs to start stealing some bags.

 

[84 Baby]

Looks like no one is taking control

I could understand it later in half with rain but it was all bar the set when Lomax did that Gumby pass

Haha. I was thin king the same. Parra has gone part time / semi pro (which would be great for the game if all clubs did it and the fellas had to get a job or be getting educated).

 

[Cumberland Eel]

I say we go Eric Simms mode - how else can we score??

Nope, none at all. He’s the right person for the job.

hard to look good in attack missing your 7 and your 6 being non-existent. The whole pre-season our attack was structured around those 2. Hard to fix that on the fly with rookies

 

[JokerEel]

Nope we could either continue to be an also rand of a club or feel some pain now and hopefully turn into a club that is winning premierships..

 

[Soto]

Is that Tom Trbo getting his suspect hammies looked at again?

They'd probably still beat us today with 12 men and none defending at the back.

I'm shocked

too early to tell

BA and Tbaz teams were pretty trash without mitch also

 

[eels_fan]

If we could work out how to score we’d actually do alright. Our defensive shape holds up 80-90% of the time.

Na, look at our spine apart from Brown, the rest combined barely have 50 or so games.

Moses is a huge loss. Add Walker / Moses and our attack will be a lot better.

 

[Delboy]

I

This is horrible worse than the 90s

We now have resources but let down by choices made by R&R , hopefully Ryles stirs some life into those decisions. Signings and extensions , and clauses under the 3 involved haven’t been of the standard that we mostly see at other clubs. The juniors are moving in the right direction, that should set the standard for the senior front office.

Even the Tigers under Richardson look to have more idea.

I'm looking forward to Walker providing the short balls around the ruck, but the only 2 players who look to be running off anyone in the middle is Doorey and Tuivaiti. The rest of them seem to be happy to take their 1 out run and then just wait for defence.

Watching this game on nine. Billy Slater is a good commentator - far better than Cronk.
