Rd7 GAME DAY THREAD: Parra v Bulldogs @ Commbank 19/4/26

Isn't Haywood a shit dummy half.

If our club punted Reed for Haywood we would be asking questions why.

I love the fact they did and rissoled Mahoney but it still makes no sense for mine.

He offers SFA in attack and his defence doesnt make up for it.

They needed to make room for Galvin. He would definitely be on way less than Mahoney

Amazing effort to win against a team like the Bulldogs with 8 players with under 20 first grade games. Is this real life?

Kris Keating now would be a better option, worst starting dummy half in the comp.

 

[Eelementary]

I sort of agree

Kelma off the bench for impact.

But his gone next year anyway. I didnt think we missed him at all.

Ryles changed tact this week and he didnt have a choice but he picked a team with more of a defensive mindset & it worked.

I would leave it for next week.

Russell for Nanva or Kelly.

I liked Araz and would rather persist there with the youth.

Kelly is a backup as i keep being reminded so it should go back that way next week.

I'd hate to see Araz dropped - he's been really solid, especially in defence.

I think we're a better team with Russell, and Nanva, in it, and Kelly out.

 

[Timana]

I love jack Williams offloads. Its how the team should offload.

He looks, sees if the support is ready and passes or takes the tackle

None of that stupid blind stuff like joash's

Similar talk with players on Friday, Williams just said “ don’t worry we will win “ without any hesitation. Ryley smiled and said , this is our week, after telling me he was carrying a sternum injury but I’ll play with it.

Not sure if it was due to the night and the 86 team being the focus, but every player there just was confident on what the outcome would be.

Then why is that attitude and confidence not the norm, yesterday was amazing and probably the best ambush Ive seen in a very long time, until this is our mantra and not a one off, we will continue to be well below average

Will Penisni was outstanding today, yes he’s positioning hence his defence is questionable far too often, but with the ball today he was a wrecking ball and terrorised the dogs, if he can work on the above he will be an asset, he put his body on the line with every carry, I thought he was courageous

What about his performance yesterday??

 

[Soren Lorenson]

I think as far as wins in recent memory goes, that is on the podium with Opening Day and 58-0. The day deserved a performance like that. I was pretty worried that we would not do it justice. Well done to the boys.

Was good, u weren’t impressed with his carries?

 

[Gary Gutful]

His performance tomorrow will be even better.

 

[EppingEel]

I thought the whole team played very well, but I was particularly impressed by the edge defense. Nanva and Volkman on the left, and Moses, Guymer and Penisini on the right did a fantastic job at limiting the Dogs backrowers.

 

[eel01s]

We looked a lot more composed in defence, with a lot of attention paid to keeping a straight line. Dogs really didn’t throw much at us though.

Notable reasons why we played well; Dogs didn't turn up mentally, their line speed was ordinary, ref wasn't blowing 6 agains.

Having said that, we took the opportunity that was presented to us and played very well, considering so many rookies.

Shout out to Charlie. He was Hindy like yesterday. Was everywhere and has the same motor.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Dogs really didn’t throw much at us though.

Yep. They had a great win against the Panthers but they’ll need to improve their attack if they want to be a force in the finals.

 

[Gronk]

Jnr, Riley and Will should not have played and maybe even Moses. Huge effort.

TCT said that Lorenzo trained at centre for Will as he was line ball to play.

 

[Stagger eel]

Yep. They had a great win against the Panthers but they’ll need to improve their attack if they want to be a force in the finals.

interested to see how the dogs respond on friday night against the Broncs but I reckon there's a chance we may have broke those merkins big time.

 

[Parrapat]

The sun is up
the sky is blue
with a tinge of gold
it's beautiful.
Dear Parra, yes you came out to play.

IMO Id put this win above that and the 58-0 semi final v ponys.

We werent losing that opening at Bankwest Stadium (now Commbank). I think from memory we only had Nathan Brown out

That Ponys semi final, they were rat shit all year under Siebold, just scrapped in the 8. Great and memorial win nontheless...

BUT In the scenario who is actually gonna win

Yesterday winning should not have been in the same universe as those two other games.

Considering how we played last week (and all year). ton of injuries . Dogs extra 3 days to prepare and on a high after detroying the Ruff

Id compare yesterdays win to the win we have over Melbourne in Melbourne when they were going for that record consecutive winning streak of 19, and so called professionals like Vonny on Fox Sports, days before the game was played, urging everyone to get to the game to witness history being broken by the Storm 'my goodness' indeed
