I reckon it's our best non finals win since Easter Monday 2019!...maybe even surpasses that.

It was good - but not that good!

 

[hindy111]

We won because Jnr and Morreti both ran straight and hard along with Pensini.
Take out KK and Kelmas dumb errors and missed tackles and Volkmans crisp attack and we are 12-18 points better a side.
Our tries had some individual brilliance to them.
TDS and Walker need to work on their ball playing. But at the same time we dont want them to stop playing football. Just need to know what time of the game to pull the trigger.

 

[the phantom menace]

It was disciplined, for a change. Hardly any cheap errors and turnovers. Respect for the ball and possession (mostly, TDS!). Running straight to actually try and win the middle, instead of dancing around on soft runs and going nowhere. Good defence with players that might not be attacking threats but at least have a brain in the defensive line.

Just do the basics and do them well. Rinse and repeat. Keep it up and they might just rescue the season - despite those appalling 50-point loss failures...

Well done Parra and your win yesterday

 

[The Predictor]

You have noticed several people are in agreement

Dumber than spit.

and boy, do they like to chirp

 

[Gary Gutful]

Always thought JAC was a bit of rat bag merkin, but he has been brilliant for Parra. Arguably getting better.

It’s been an ongoing joke. You posted the day after the game saying ‘today’ rather than ‘yesterday’.

Summed up perfectly

And unlike most teams, we got a half that can kick sides to death. Really evident yesterday

And he seems to love the club and fans,..

Id ink him in for an extension right now !!! Dont think he is signed beyond this year

Was out yesterday and finally got to watch it.
First, what a great game - thanks largely to the referee! I never realised how much I hate the sound of the 6 Again bell until I didn’t hear it!
Couple of noticeables:
Volkman. Played well. Missed tackles were no big deal as they were covered and made while leading line speed. I like this kid. Enjoy NSW Cup, Pezet.
Penisini. It wasn’t just his strong running that did it, he also dropped that little hop, skip thing he used to do. Made all the difference.
Junior. He’s been one week ‘on’ the next ‘off’. Stay ‘on’ Jnr, you’re a beast.
Guymer. Actually looked good.
Pryke. Great debut.
Kelly. His best game for us. Just wish he wasn’t the Dog’s best as well. Too many mistakes and misreads.

Overall I loved the young guys and the energy across the park. We just need to dropped the Storm/Titan’s efforts and repeat effort we showed against Tigers and Dogs.

I know you rate Moretti but yesterday was the first time I’ve thought he made a difference. He was very good. Maybe he can make up for the loss of Hopgood from our defence.

He’s trolling you mate

I want my props to run straight, hard and charging into the line. Offloads 2nd and ball playing 3rd.
Hopgood just isnt that type of prop. Dont care about his defense being great if he cant have damaging runs.

Guymer has been great the last 2 weeks also. But we cant carry to many weak runners. Pryke is another for example. There is a balance.

Lorenzo has gone passed him also from games ive seen in Cup.
Once Fletcher is fit he will either be in Flegg or NSW cup.
I have a great idea. Give him to the Dragons for the rest of the year for Sua. Pezet that is. He isnt needed. I dont like his gay moustache either. Looks like a cocky smart arse
