Rd9: 6pm Parra v Sharks GAME DAY THREAD @ Suncorp 2.5.25

[DaveMc]

The lack of discipline is such a killer, hopefully Ryles is telling them to do as he says, not as he did as a player

 

[Wally21]

I think that’s the best 1st half we have had this year. Quality footy

 

[DaveMc]

Nah it's Liam Martin. Don't you know he's won more premierships than Steven Sharp?

Nah, he’s the shittest backrower in the game, absolute passenger at every level

 

[Suitman]

Riley Smith is Mahoney V2.0, without the aggro.
He's so much better and so much more versatile.

Also, we are a so much better drilled and entertaining team this season to watch. Sure, there's some wrinkles to iron out, but we have made some amazing progress in such short time.
I'm enjoying watching us play again, as opposed to the borefest we have been for years under BA.
Get Lomax back into this side and add some edge forwards we could be a real force.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I’ve looked for a reason to not like Russel’s involvement tonight but I can’t. He’s a bit Joel Readyish. Tries his butt off. Probably deserves his spot on effort alone.

And he's probably the number five outside back at our club. Will he get the arse when Lomax returns?

 

[Wally21]

I respectfully disagree Sir Pou

 

[JokerEel]

I think Voss mentioned Sharks have best defence in comp so we are doing alright, considering the help they were given for their first try.

Second best defense in the competition.

As I said, Martin's a good player. He's fast and aggressive. Does his job in a Penrith side that doesn't (didn't) need too much from him.

Would almost keep him there and try and upgrade Penisini. There's not much off contract.. Staggs is really the only star centre off contract I think.

 

[Parra Pride]

If Iongi can keep developing the way his is so far this kid is going to be a gun in a few years (hopefully still for us).

Did you see his presser? He's a lot smarter than Mahoney as well, at least off the field.

I’ve said it before about Russell, he’s no superstar but your whole team can’t be. He’s only ever going to be as good as what’s around him.

 

[Grigor]

Russell is just ok at everything he does , first out when lomax is available

 

[Parra Cheeses]

Shout out to Dylan Walker. He makes our team better.

 

[Eelogical]

The lads are being honed into a force. The BA factor is being squeezed out.

 

[Parra Cheeses]

Where are grubbers

Why the f**k are you continuing to talk about Panther Liam Martin in a gameday thread when the Eels-Sharks match is on, clown...

The same BA who got them into the finals four straight years? It would be awesome if Ryles could do that.

Because you called me a troll

 

[DaveMc]

Still getting killed in the ruck, and the inability to either prevent or to recover from offloads is bad
