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

[Soto]

Not only are we crap but at least get the basics right.
Eg no dumb penalties
Kick chase in one line
Follow up ball runners
Pressure the opposition kickers
Don't give up on a chase
Excruciating watching this team

It’s been in my signature for eight f**king months

MITS I hope MON & Ryles told the junior reps parents not to tune into todays game lol

 

[Soto]

I’d rather had played those 40 games elsewhere.

That's 2 yrs with the spoon before he becomes good...
Let's be honest he's a reserve grader and needs to cut the shit out of his game..
Once he does he can play 1st grade

 

[hineyrulz]

Definitely agree he has an error, but give him some time. He will look a lot better run off Moses.

He has some ability but he shouldn’t be learning his trade in first grade.

 

[Noise]

Penisini is f**king diabolical

5 missed tackles.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I know plenty will disagree and media will talk us down, but I reckon we did pretty good. And built on last week.

Yes attack is poor, and Manly were too good. But our defence was pretty good. We only missed 32 tackles. To many errors after our try, hurt us. Manly pretty much had the ball for next 20. But only managed 2 tries. They had 55% of the ball. It was their lowest score at home this year.

And our rucking off our line is getting better too. We are moving the ball around nicely.

But attack (not rucking it out) is poor. To much sidewards stuff.

Overall doesn't feel like it but think we are improving.

Be careful, not sure but think that it may have been a comment that was opposite to what it seems, Emjaycee has long defended the R&R team, maybe he’s changed his opinion,

 

[TheParraboy]

Oh man Gutho is going to absolutely Anal us next week

yup

We can see first hand how slow and not Parra worthy he is

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Fair point, but is already to good for nsw cup. But it's not like he is losing us games.

BTW he made 35 tackles, 1 miss.

 

[Noise]

I think Kearney is Ryles mentor.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I think it's time Papalii comes in.
Dylan walker will add plenty to this team because the other Dylan is pretty useless.
Russell...no. Penisini no.
Kautoga no...shit for Hands. Good strong runs but he can't hold the ball...
I'm not joking it's time to put Dylan Brown to hooker or nowhere...
I wonder where Ryles goes from here

Kautoga only had 1 error.

Well, defense is good but if giving those penalties and 6 agains on the last is considered part of the defense

 

[Soto]

Kautoga only had 1 error.

Same error every week

 

[84 Baby]

You motherf**ker…

You stop liking my posts @TheParraboy this is all your fault

 

[Pazza]

Kautoga only had 1 error.

And I reckon a Manly player had a good rip at the footy.

I was critical of KK early but I can see why they like him. Needs a rocket up him but, gonna play 80 we need more involvement out of yah

 

[CumberlandPower]

I think Kearney is Ryles mentor.

Well they do seem to have the same attacking game plan

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Lane & Kautoga need replacing next week

Why? We aren't playing to our edges. Look at how we are moving the footy to the edges. It's basically pass to half pass or 2 passes to half then pass. No one in the middle is running it before passing it the half.

So we aren't creating any space. Edges are getting the ball with defence already on them. Very easy to defend.

Watch how some of the other sides feed their edge.

 

[The Predictor]

Well in the end Manly won the second half 14-12, after resting a few of their guys early too.

But it's probably as close as we've been, but again we fade in and out of the 80mins - not building to anything, and not consistently being able to defend to expected standard.

We never faded in, let alone out

 

[MarkInTheStands]

As soon as Joey went off, and Reilly came on, we looked 1000% better

He was in the process of losing it but the ball rocketed towards the manly line. The ball doesn't usually do that when you lose it
