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

[PARRA_FAN]

Well it certainly wasn't a horrible performance like a typical Magic Round but I think they did ok despite some flaws and poor referee moments. I'm ok with their effort and feel like Ryles is getting this team to better things

 

[Soto]

Sorry I know ppl will say we tried but that was very amateur rubbish by us...
No discipline by us. Defence is still garbage and gee we have some players who should not be in 1st grade...very dissapointing.
Let's not forget they had a player in the bin.
We are still very much prime contenders for the spoon.

 

[Parra Cheeses]

We still have good offloaders and support players. I guess when 'Ryles' shitcans all of them we will attack better.

We will buy quality. Just like Melbourne does. We are a class prop and a class back rower away from a top 8 team. Our fullback won’t get any worse either. In Ryles I trust.

 

[Eelogical]

We had enough opportunities, but we never really looked likely for mine.

The try the Sharks scored when they had 12 players was obviously costly in the end.

The Sharks were just better when it mattered, and just about scored every chance they got in our Red Zone.

What is it now 27 out of our last 28 games our opponents have scored more than 20 points.

Only 1 try against 13 players.

I agree. They always had our measure but I'm seeing improvements in our game. Magic Round is now our Darwin round, but I digress.

Methmouth Hynes with the postgame analysis

 

[Avenger]

Paulo has regressed more than this forum.

 

[the phantom menace]

Ok, it wasn't meant to be.

Too many lapses in defence, and too many occasions of rushed attack without thought to ball control and building territory and momentum.

But underneath that, some promising stuff compared to the last two years - and still just a couple of players (edge forwards mainly) away from a squad that could compete for reaching the top eight - maybe next year?

I agree. They always had our measure but I'm seeing improvements in our game. Magic Round is now our Darwin round, but I digress.

At least it wasn't our home game

That merkin in the bunker did his best to help the sharks

Yeah...nah. We got done by a better team. No excuses with this one.

 

[Parra Cheeses]

Dylan Brown is so underwhelming. It’s been that way for a while, but gee I’m truly not sorry to see him go at this point. Would’ve been madness to even contemplate going within cooee of the Knights’ offer.

Penisini not much better.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You wouldn’t know the meaning.

It's like rain on your wedding day

We realise you make so many posts just to take an opposing viewpoint and try to look smart. Sometimes it’s better to say nothing rather than continue to post meaningless rubbish.

 

[Avenger]

Riley Smith is no 80min half. Not even close.

 

[Soto]

That penalty on Simonsson fkd the game for us.
Should've been a 20m restart with a 7 tackle set

 

[Wally21]

It's like rain on your wedding day

I never picked you as an Alanis fan

 

[emjaycee]

They deserve at least a baby clap for the much improved effort over the whole 80 mins.
A bit of ill discipline and some interesting decisions by the officials but overall, better than Rnds 1-4 and Rnd 6.

I liked the energy Samrani brought to the right edge - some of us have been saying in here for a while that he might make the transfer into the pack, and maybe he will.

 

[Lethal]

He's starting from a much higher base, with better pathways. Once we fixed up our front office it only took BA four years to make the finals four times.

With BA set to coach your hometown team in Perth, hope you jump ship and head over to the bears forum you delusional merkin.

 

[Delboy]

Well the thought that the bunker would improve was not obvious tonight, some strange decisions in the game, none of which favoured the Eels unfortunately

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We realise you make so many posts just to take an opposing viewpoint and try to look smart. Sometimes it’s better to say nothing rather than continue to post meaningless rubbish.

Or just to put shit on merkins. Maybe you should stick to talking about footy. Any solid analysis come out of Crestwood Oval through the week?

 

[Eelogical]

At least it wasn't our home game

Haha! I see these away type of home and away games as a 50/50, meaning no advantage to either team, just like Darwin. How well did that experiment work for us apart from the $$$$?
