Rd5: 3pm Parra v Dragons GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank 5/4/25

[Lemon Squash]

Why does it feel like we give a penalty away first set every week? We go straight on the back foot and never recover

Russell centre

lomax wing

And second set

 

[the phantom menace]

I think Ryles mentioned Hands is sick.

Ah, that's a shame. I was wondering why Hands wasn't in any grade.

Would have been ideal if they again wanted to ease Ryley in after 20mins. But we'll see how Hopgood goes - could be a surprise as a one off 20min option....

 

[84 Baby]

Perfect start…

 

[Cumberland Eel]

FMD pathetic discipline

 

[DaveMc]

You can’t coach brains, unfortunately. Though maybe the team is just reflecting Ryles’ on-field IQ from his playing career.

 

[T-Boon]

I could not coach because I would bench Russell and Moretti for the rest of the season over those penalties. How hard is it to not give away penalties there?

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Take the two!!

 

[DaveMc]

First time we’ll have led a game in Ryles’ coaching career to date

Moretti isn’t even on the field mate

 

[84 Baby]

Call fulltime!

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Call the game off ffs!!

 

[Wally21]

Woo hoo!! We are leading!!!

 

[84 Baby]

Moretti isn’t even on the field mate

He should’ve tried harder then!

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Moretti isn’t even on the field mate

That’s what make he’s benching so hard to do!

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Surely this merkin doesn’t have hands

 

[Wally21]

f**k me dead

 

[84 Baby]

Does Kautoga have tiny hands? Never f**ken holds the ball

 

[DaveMc]

There is absolutely no way in the world that Kautoga should have a first grade spot ahead of Matterson, regardless of whether the latter is a dickhead.
