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

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 will assume Ryles will play Williams at second row.

Matto into the side at 13 Hopgood at 8.

 

[Soto]

It would be interesting to know if moses voiced out to have kelma next to him

He will need a new backrower against Sharks...upgrade Samrani and slot him in..Samrani I have complete faith in..could probably play 50 or so mins..otherwise the other 2 options are Matto and Carty.. I think Carty is on the nose

 

[Matty Bhoy]

What a fantastic win. I thought we showed a lot of fight today. Zero chance Moretti should’ve got ten and Iongi getting binned was nothing short of ridiculous.

Speaking of which… that kid is going to be so fun to watch. Yeah he makes the odd mistake but he’s braining it for the most part in a so so team.

Mitch was outstanding. Rugby League Week would’ve given him a 10/10 today.

Loved his post match comments about Ryles. Has been taking it casually and laid back rather than losing the plot after we’ve been getting dusted/flogged. Ryles knows time is on his side.

I feel like the players are buying into his coaching as well.

Don't want to hear any of you bitches whinging about Mitch's pay packet. He's worth every cent.

 

[Soto]

Fox sports should be ashamed on how 360 has gone down the toilet.

For all the potential that show had is no longer there.

Anasta as a host is a disgrace and I find ironic he was shitbagging 9 commentators for a conflict of interest.

Then you have Rothfield calling Brent Read a mouthpiece for Issac Moses.

As if Rothfield hasn't been a mouthpiece for people over the years.

Then you have Tallis as dumb as dogshit.

Paul Kent for all his faults i don't think the show would have degraded as far as it has with him there in the co host chair.

He would have pulled up Braith 100 times now for his antics.

Barely watch any of the footy shows...but I don't mind 100% footy...except when Gould thinks he's the godfather of the NRL...he shouldn't be there

Glad it’s now a contract without player options!

I barely watch it and Gould isnt the annoying one, its Gallen.

 

[the phantom menace]

Velma got 3 games. Did he have form? Seems excessive.

Good.

We have other forward options than Tuilagi that can cover the spot for two weeks. And by cover, I mean match or improve the defence.

 

[Gherkin]

I like most of what you say but we’re way too much of a Jekyll and Hyde team to be even thinking anything past our next game.

There are a lot of teams in the comp like that though. We’ll need to be injury free and make a few mid season signings for it to happen but I think it’s an outside chance if luck is on our side

 

[Gherkin]

Tuilagi is no loss going forward. Matto has to be in the team. Even though he’s been exclusively a middle this year he’s better than both players we had on an edge today. As others have mentioned Williams might go to an edge with Matto in the middle. I like what Williams brings to the middle though as a partner to Junior

Wont be worth every cent if he cant perform often enough, something that annoyed me in the past with him
eg if he didnt play well today, we would blame the forwards, the refs etc....

I think with Origin, couple little kids, he has finally matured into an 80min top shelf player,,

 

[Zoso]

Walker passing to Moratti a few times today, and busting them down the middle. Let’s see more of that!

The Walker signing honestly convinced me JR is the right man for the job. Like I was very confident in him, but that sealed it to my way of thinking.

He could see we were missing that link play through the middle. Very astute.

You would have thought not having Mitch for 22 of the past 27 games we would have got used to not needing him.

But clearly we haven't.

Fingers crossed the injuries are behind him.

 

[King-Gutho94]

What was the crowd btw

We can only hope that Hawkins can develop into a Moses mini clone when he isn't available.

 

[TheParraboy]

over 26k

Brown couldnt

Good luck at Newie

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

What was the crowd btw

a large number of people gathered together in a disorganized or unruly way.

"a huge crowd gathered in the street outside"

Similar:

throng

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Ryley did ok, but thought he adds more coming on after 20....missed more tackles (while making similar amount of tackles) and less metres per run, then last 2 games coming off the bench...

Alternatively our passing from dummy half was much better the whole game and we didn't waste Hopgood there for 20 minutes. Until we can find or develop someone that can play hooker and lock he's going to have to play 80 minutes every week
