Rd6: Parra v Roosters GAME DAY thread 20/6/20

[Happy MEel]

Also Blake is copping it, but Moses inside him missed 5 as well.

The Roosters managed to make them second guess other on that edge. They've been good this year but they were tested and found out a little tonight

Moses did drop off a few but his initial contact was pretty good. That requires effort. Blake’s initial contact was non-existent.

I don't disagree, just pointing out that they were IMO worked over by a very good side. I don't think it's an issue as long as we learn from it.

 

[Bandwagon]

Their four errors to our eleven was the difference.

 

[Wally21]

Great performance for mine. Class & first half possession told in the end, and a poor call when JWH lost the ball blew the score out.

Jennings sin bin was absolutely fair BTW. Little things like making the effort to get back onside there, or Nrown maybe looking for a quick PTB instead of giving it to Sivo to go into touch.

Matto losing possession rather than scoring too. They just do the extras better but no one can say we didn't stick it to them

If Jennings sin binning was fair, why was Tedesco not sinbinned in the first half after lying all over Gutho after he made the break? Sorry, Cumstain had way way way too much influence on this game.
Not saying that the roosters would not have won, but why did he not check Fergos try? Why was he not going to call knock on to Parra on the chooks goal line until the touchie told him to check it?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We didn’t deserve this scoreline. Unfortunately we just gave them way too much easy ball.

Having no ball in the first half came back to haunt us late in the game.

 

[T-Boon]

Yeah I feel that Ferguson is carrying an injury he is nothing compared to last year.

 

[IFR33K]

We need a quality 14. We don’t. Stone was exposed like the f**king plodder he is. Blake is a terrible defender. He was f**king awful.

I don’t think the refs got them home. They were better, simple as that.

Yep we need a quality 14. Reed for all his courage and effort Missed a simple 1 on 1 that led to a try. Stone offers f^*k all as does terepo.

A player that may of thrived in our up tempo game is tepai

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Gotta be near perfect to beat the chooks. First half mistakes cost us in some ways.

We'll be better for the run should we meet them again later. Solid dress rehersal. Gotta avoid cheap turn overs against the top teams.

I reckon if we had won they would've beaten us for sure next time we played. At least now we're a chance of getting them next time.

 

[Snoochies]

F^$k, best loss we've had in a long while.

Next week will determine whether we learn or slide back to old Parra ways. We have to bounce back next week and put in a good performance. This part of the season on paper is the hardest 2 weeks we have.

 

[Noise]

I was pleased to see Stone got hooked at half time and never returned. Players don’t often get interchanged at half time unless there is an injury - Arthur must not have been happy with him.

 

[strider]

He looked injured.

He went off for a HIA just before halftime ... he played like a concussed merkin 2nd half

 

[hindy111]

Yeah I feel that Ferguson is carrying an injury he is nothing compared to last year.

I reckon he was declining from about rnd 14 last year. Sivo finished the year far batter

 

[hindy111]

W.Smith for 14 next week?

 

[IFR33K]

Wasn't much in it. But Rooster did look the better side. Parra can learn from this game. They looked best with lots of short offloads.
Kafusi looks to strong to leave out of the 17. I'd drop Terepo next week. Stone had a ball raked and a bad refs call on that. What else did he do wrong? I forget, was it a high shot?
KE,Kafusi,Niakuore on bench with either Stone,Taka or W.Smith.
W .Smith can give a great 20mins when forwards are tired. And if Mahoney needs a rest he slots in. Otherwise he may get no game time which is fine. He will add spark

Will Smith would thrive in the last 15-20 minutes. But he should be given certain instructions to not kick.

 

[T-Boon]

I reckon he was declining from about rnd 14 last year. Sivo finished the year far batter

He was funny tonight with his apology to the cardboard fan. His highlight for the year so far.

 

[hindy111]

A great running and support game. And is experienced. He would be handy.

Jennings made absolutely no effort to even get close to onside.

The Fergo no try was correct, why waste time?

 

[Glenneel]

Blake was diamonds last week and rocks this. Really he has played only one decent game, last week, for his whole time at Parra. I'd drop him for next week and bring Salmon in, he's not as fast but he can tackle. And with his skill set he could be a real threat. Ferguson needs a rest too until he learns to stay on his winger.

That last try Roosters scored was a referee try, JW-H dropped that ball cold as Terepo hardly touched it. Ref refused to give us 6 again despite many time Rooster refused to let us go. What is it with refs and Roosters and Storm slowing ruck but both get majority 6 agains?

We have to learn to start smarter, just too many errors in first half, like we always seem to do against top teams.

 

[Glenneel]

Stone offers f^*k all as does terepo.

Stone always seems to give a penalty away.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yep, Mahoney switched off on Keary and Blake switched off at half time.

Half time? He was gash from the opening minute. He had more missed tackles than runs ffs
