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

[Tooooks]

It’s been a long time since I’ve been so proud of our defence in any game. Roosters with 56% possession and 83% completion rate would be beating most teams by a lot more.

Hoping we can improve our completion rate and get at least half the possession.

[T-Boon]

Good defence. You can tell we spend 80% of the week working on it. Maybe we should put the same effort into our attack.

 

[Eelementary]

I'm probably high, or drunk, or something - but I am confident we can win this.

Play patient football, cut out the errors, and we will be better.

The fact the Roosters made three concurrent substitutions speaks volumes, imo , and towards the back end of that half, they were forcing silly passes, and making mistakes.

If we settle down a bit, we can win this.

Great defence!

Stone and Lane have been f**king terrible. Sivo’s effort at the end was soft as f**k.

 

[Noise]

Ffs - how was that a one-on-one strip on Sivo?

The other roosters had dropped off. Sivo was weak letting that go.

 

[Suitman]

We lack attacking prowess.
We're still in this.
Defence is amazing but whether it wears us out is still to be seen.
That was the Roosters half. Lets hope we get a few things go our way in the 2nd.

Great defence!

Stone and Lane have been f**king terrible. Sivo’s effort at the end was soft as f**k.

Honestly, Lane is very soft. Doesn’t run or hit with any aggression.

 

[Happy MEel]

Defence - 9/10
Handling - 3/10
Decision Making - 3/10

we play smart and apply some pressure we can win this.

 

[Wally21]

To many stupid errors, drop balls, strips, high tackles and poor last kick options on a few occasions are murdering us!!

All correct, but can you imagine how many points this rooters team would have put on us last year, let alone in 2018?? They would be up by 30. Fatigue and cumstain as the chooks 14th man hurting us

 

[T-Boon]

We don't seem to time our runs as well as them. Reed is always throwing the ball a metre backwards to our hit up guy when Roosters and Storm throw the dummy half pass flat or slightly forward. We need to work on that as it makes a big difference.

 

[Happy MEel]

Good defence. You can tell we spend 80% of the week working on it. Maybe we should put the same effort into our attack.

That would be 160%. I don’t think that’s possible.

 

[Eelementary]

The other roosters had dropped off. Sivo was weak letting that go.

He was, no doubt.

But there was still a Rooster around Sivo's legs, I thought...

 

[parraitdoesmatta]

Honestly, Lane is very soft. Doesn’t run or hit with any aggression.

I have been screaming at him to go harder! Just watches and walks around!

 

[strider]

Honestly, Lane is very soft. Doesn’t run or hit with any aggression.

Rubbish ... he hits hard as almost anyone in our team .... he practically snapped tupou in half

 

[Suitman]

This stripping rule is an absolute f**king blight on the game .... its an absolute merkin

There's nothing wrong with the rule.
The problem is with the way the ref's interpret it.

 

[Gronk]

Hoping we can improve our completion rate and get at least half the possession.

They have failed to score more than one with all the ball and field position.

They are getting all the resets and are struggling.

oh and Tedesco runs like a girl.

 

[Noise]

Honestly, Lane is very soft. Doesn’t run or hit with any aggression.

Agree. He doesn’t like the tough stuff.

 

[T-Boon]

That would be 160%. I don’t think that’s possible.

Spend the same amount of time on D but spend more time on A. So that it is 50/50.
