Rd7: Parra v Canberra GAME DAY thread (27/6/20)

[Bazal]

Does rankin or Field get a start? Maybe Gutho to 5/8.

Anyone but Smith.

As much as I'm not a fan of Will Smith he's a better six than Taka....ugh

 

[T-Boon]

Yeah might have to be Matterson into pivot. We cant bring in someone who hasn't played. They just wont be up to the speed of the game/defense.

Salmon makes sense. Taka isn't a 6 but can play as an extra centre out there.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I reckon they might go with Field.

no chance (I reckon) defensively is to much of a liability.

unless Gutho goes to 5/8, Field fullback - but doubt it.

 

[Happy MEel]

I'd say base our games on defense first. If want attack then go Field.
Taka or Salmon would be fine. Matto weakness a position so rather not move him.

Yep forgot about Salmon. He’d be a decent option.

What about when it's round one of the comp?

Has Salmon been in the 21 in recent weeks?

 

[Sphagnum]

If Waqa Blake had failed his HIA we would’ve held the raiders off. Both those tries at the end came because he was off with the fairies.

cant believe he passed it after he was pretty much knocked out from the head knock. Questions should be asked about that imo.

 

[crocodile]

What more is there to say.

Salmon is my pick. Young halves, but they both play direct which suits our style this year and the new rules.

Kicking game will be a worry whoever we pick. Mahoney needs to stand up there IMO, he'll be our best long kicker.

He definitely wouldnt flounder

 

[Gronk]

I reckon they might go with Field.

Hmm this is Field’s 2019 games for the Dragons. Goal kicker too.

 

[hineyrulz]

Never hurts to say it again.

f**k Ricky Stuart and his flared nostrils!!

What a looser! Salmon won like half his games at six

kick gaming will be ok, we can now train for it. Obviously Mahoney is there. But also just means we need to position Gutho or Matterson (assuming he can still kick) on the 5th in the right position as a back up.

Additionally who ever is the replacement probably is also an option.

All we need to do is show the opposition is we have other options then Drown so they can’t smash him and confident we can do that pretty easily

I think he has a few times, mate.

Whats the deal with Fox?
Had to sit through all of Pricky Stuarts "we need more luck" presser then they cut BAs presser before its finished to talk about the Show Ponies.
Pi**ed me off. I must say thought Pricky did make me cry a little and no I'm not a red head.

As much as Corey Horsburgh?

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Wow talk about a gutsy performance, then almost blowing it right at the end, thankfully we have King Gutho to lead us by example.

We are proving each week we're contenders. We never give up against the top sides.

Its a message to the rest of the comp.

It might come at a bit of a cost without Moses we still performed well. Gutherson, Brown, Paulo, Matterson, Mahoney all brilliant performances.

Geez how much more luck did they need?

Talk about so many BS calls go their way. A penalty against Sivo that wasn't a high shot, the Matterson tackle on Horsburgh that again wasn't a penalty, the BS six again calls, and of course the blatant forward pass that led to the try.
