Team v Newcastle ?

[I'm a loser baby...]

Did any one mention completions 31 / 34 for Parra today

I reckon Arthur did. We await the press conference.

It's a remarkable completion rate tho, in those conditions.

nrl.com has it 27/36

nrl.com has it 27/36

Still outstanding for us :lol:

League Live has 33/37 :lol: You'd think sets would be an easy thing to count

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Aparently Mannah's kick runs from kicks off aren't counted - these metres are to easy.

No, that's not the point. The point is that 'total metres' are not a sensible way of comparing different forwards when one of them takes the kick returns more often than the others. Metres from hitups are a fairer comparison.

Refs can't even count to 6.

I just watched the pc, and not one mention from Arthur of our completion rate. Instead, he's "cranky". WTF Brad?

Hmmm, 10 from 17 is a pretty tough ask. Oh well, if we deserve to get there we will.

I'd be surprised if we do it, but I would've been surprised if we would have done before the start of the season also.

 

[Chipmunk]

9 from 16 I think it is to get to 28

28 points didn't do us much good last year, I'd be surprised given the closeness of the comp again and the type of team we are (lost a few games by big margins) that it will do us any good this year. 9 wins and a draw is probably the worse we can do to get in the Top 8 me thinks.

My favourite Paulo moment today was seeing Paulo standing at first receiver, screaming for the ball, and Norman telling him to piss off.

If you were a Parra fan your favourite Paulo moment would have been the awesome pass he threw to put Terepo into the clear.

Nrl stats aren't counting the failure to regain the ball after scoring.

Was a very good ball. Terepo ran a great line too.

Brad is cranky because He had money on Newcastle after reading my thread :crazy:

12- 0 after 10 mins i was at the tab lining up for the cash..............
LOL

I dont get the love in for this pass - there was a massive gap in the middle anyways. It was more the run than the pass.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Interesting stat we now have second best attack yet worse defence

Fair enough wasn't think like that. If we got to 28 this year, while disappointing would be a pretty good result to build on considering Foran and probably Scott are coming next year

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Count how often Paulo gets off the ground after being involved in a tackle. If he cant make it to marker he dosent even bother.

It's better than letting the dummy half use you as a shield, or giving away a penalty.

Hes as soft as custard. Threw one good pass and is all of a sudden a hero. The run was what made that particular play. Win loose or draw, this bloke is a passenger. Rarely exerts himself.

You just can't give him any credit at all can you? That's how I know your opinion on Paulo is unreliable.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I'd be surprised if we do it, but I would've been surprised if we would have done before the start of the season also.

I'm always hopeful before the season starts. But I'm an idiot. It's usually the first few games that bring me down to Earth.

Maybe he realises that that pass is probably going to keep Sepha in first grade for a few more weeks, when it would be better for the team if he was dropped.

And who says you can't be a Parra fan even if you hate Sepha more?
