Rd7: 4pm Parra v Tigers GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank Stadium 21/4/25

[Parra Pride]

Until we can find or develop someone that can play hooker and lock he's going to have to play 80 minutes every week

Would've been good if we weren't wasting our time on a spud.

Hands isn't too bad, not sure he'd be any good at lock but

He's not the spud in question.

Dylan Walker makes a huge difference, love the look of the attack with him linking in the middle

No one is going to lke the look of him linking up with ponga.

The disloyal young scrotey should have beeb playing against Galvo.

I know you are a tad emotional, I would be too if my team lost to the Eels, but Dylan Walker and Dylan Brown are two different people.

Yes. Youre right, i apologise to Dylan Brown.

All i can do now to redeem myself is to hope some supernatural power could intervene to assist me and the knights pick up Dylan Walker.

The giant magpie in the sky, my feathered overlord who gave me May, take pity upon me.

A victory poem

@Gary Gutful on a whim
Bet the farm on Tigers win
Despised his Galvo as is right
The cash came freely for panthers lite

But Rylesy boy had plans instead
He took a shaver to his head
He screamed at Mitch upon half time
And balded freely in coaching mime

The game was lost and Parra won
A meaty score, a poke of tongue
And gary prayed
to change his bets
But Our Holy Father
Preferred his death.

 

[emjaycee]

Wow...that was decided quickly.
Is it 3 but 2 with an early plea?.
Here is what I'd do.
Bring in Matto and Samrani..I think Doorey may have done some damage to his arm.
I would be brave and play Samrani in the backrow

I reckon Mataele is close.

Have a haiku.

Slipped on my own pride—
Eels danced past, I watched, ashamed.
Crowd laughed. I just cried.

 

[Soto]

I reckon Mataele is close.

More exclusively a middle now?

 

[jason taylor]

I reckon Mataele is close.

I wouldn't be surprised. He's in the top 30 and Ryles has shown a willingness to throw in raw players.

 

[emjaycee]

More exclusively a middle now?

Spoke with him last year and he reckoned he was being styled for middle or edge... may have changed though as it was before Ryles came on board I think.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

No offence to the the Church, the target was our Brother Gary.

*prawns.

*prawns.

Speaking of Prawns, my dad and my uncle had a massive fight. My uncle goes out of town for a few nights so dad goes and fills his hubcaps with prawn heads.

I don’t know how long it took for my uncle to change his tires but let’s just say he called my dad straight away and he wasn’t too happy lol.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Eddie Jones in the coaches box yesterday was an interesting addition.

Ryles said Eddie had been at training all week.

Providing feedback to himself and all the coaches.

To me shows a coach that's willing to park his ego to keep learning and grow as a coach to get his mentor's perspective on how things are being handled.

 

[T-Boon]

What was the crowd btw

Mainly human. Some insects as well I guess.

 

[T-Boon]

I think that yellow jersey is great but need blue pants to make the outfit great overall. The all yellow is a bit much.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Rewatching the game last night without the live emotional roller-coaster a few things stand out.

We looked like a club reborn all of sudden we had fire, passion & it looked like the jersey/game meant something.

Dylan Brown has lost a yard pace and clearly still clueless on when to pass & when not too in pressure moments.

Like the hospital pass to JAC was borderline stupidity at that stage of the match.

The 2 moments though that sum it up for me were the ones involving Turuva's antics.

The kick at Iongi when he scored i haven't seen Sean Russell react and show that much emotion in his whole career then you had another 4 or 5 parra players rush in as well before any tigers got there to have each others backs when the push & shove started.

Then the Turuva sling on Ryley Smith. You can't blame Moretti for grabbing in but the fact there were another 4 or 5 parra players there again first willing to defend a mate & get stuck into an opposition player for doing that to a team mate speaks volumes of the unity in the group.

Then when that has happening when the refs were binning blokes we were all in a huddle dialled in as a team.

While Luai basically walked back to his position and all the Tigers were spread out no communication or pep talk after Bully boy Turuva lost the plot.

It makes you wonder how many of these tigers players not in the Ex-Penrith click are actually comfortable with whats gone on in the past week and the isolation / public mocking of a team mate.

And the fact the environment created would make a few players worried about speaking up because if you disagree with Jarome or Api you going to be on the outer.

And Shane Richardson in the press conference was embarrassing since when does the CEO interrupt a post match press conference.

 

[Stagger eel]

I reckon Mataele is close.

not as an NRL edge, he'd get absolutely destroyed...

a middle coming of the bench... yep.
