Week 1 Finals: Parra v Penrith GAME DAY THREAD @ Bluebet Stadium 9/9/22

[Jake the snake]

you know everything.

I agree

 

[IFR33K]

It can, but not really fair to judge a halfback when his whole 20 minute stint was behind a beaten pack.

sorry merkin, can’t help myself. Took you off ignore as I needed to laugh.

had his dad picked another forward on the bench, we may of had a little more ticker to match them in the middle. He’s not a first grader, offers nothing, much like you offer nothing to this forum, apart from arguments. Give yourself an upper cut.

There was when To’o scored after that dropped bomb from Waqa Blake. Do you think Gutherson throws that long pass if the score is 8-7 instead of 13-8?

Even 13-8 isn't scoreboard pressure. There was 25 minutes to go ffs.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Really poor second half, one of the worst of the year. Seriously so many handling errors and poor attacking options. Blake dropping the two bombs was pathetic, you cant do that against Penrith let alone in a finals game. I hope they learn from this, but geez I hope this game doenst affect them mentality going into next week. It doesnt matter who they play they really need to be switched on and not come up with silly errors. Thankfully its Commbank so the home crowd might get behind them

 

[Jake the snake]

So you were happy with zero runs, zero line engagements. Just stand 10m behind the play the ball and shovel the ball sideways to runners who are easily picked off

but but but but

So at least we won't get knocked out in week 2 or 3 now by the Rabbitohs, Roosters or Panthers....

Just have to worry about Storm/Raiders, and (if we get through that) Sharks/Cowboys

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Moses was great. Defended strongly and his kicking was elite. You think it’s a coincidence that the scoreboard blew out once he went off?

He was good, but him and drown could only get 1 try in 60 or so mins….so why do was suddenly expect JA to jar 2 or so tries in the last 20 behind a horrible completion rate…

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So does a beaten pack cause a horrendous read for a LBA, kick out on the full and simple drop ball when he should have dived on the ball. Tonight’s game wasn’t his fault. But it absolutely confirmed, without a shadow of a doubt, that he is not a first grader yet.

Of course he's not a first grader. That's why he normally only plays 10 minutes.

Are you one of these tigers fans with a broom firmly planted up your arse about Moses? .... or something else?

 

[yy_cheng]

so JA comes on, basically 2 tries down (yeah he was on for the second but hardly had much involvement which lead to it)…completing at less then 70% ….and Moses/Drown could only jag 1 try in 60 or so mins……but it’s JA fault for not getting us back in the game…..

Noone said it was his fault we lost. We're saying he's shit and ba is shit too by picking maka

That's Jake's Daddy's game plan...

 

[Eelectrica]

My only positive from tonight is that we can't possibly play that bad again next week.

We can so too if Moses isn't cleared and Jake is selected as HB.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yet we were in the game while he was on the field.

The tide had already turned before he came off.

it was close due to his forwards who fronted up.
what halfback has zero runs, zero line engagements

your happy with that because he kicks well?

 

[Jake the snake]

How dare you accuse Jake Arthur of not playing well. You are not real supporters.

 

[Jake the snake]

The tide had already turned before he came off.

The tide turned 9’years ago

 

[Gary Gutful]

4 massive mistakes, 2 of them lead directly to tries. Worst player on the field by a mile.

Yep. I don't like scapegoating but f**k he was poor.

 

[the phantom menace]

He was good, but him and drown could only get 1 try in 60 or so mins….so why do was suddenly expect JA to jar 2 or so tries in the last 20 behind a horrible completion rate…

Because that's what an impact bench player might be expectd to bring to a team who is down in the final 20mins... some x-factor to help catch-up - otherwise what's the point of them being selected in that role?

 

[Zoe Palmer]

but but but but

Thanks for proving my point.

zero runs, zero line engagements. He had a ripper of a game

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Perfect summary of the game:
