It’s frustrating that they finally get a difficult opponent and they’re severely understrength. Hopefully this run of good fortune sees them not be battle hardened enough at the business end of the season.
It’s smart business testing your value with clubs like the roosters shopping for some backs. Parramatta really need to keep this kid, their junior development is lacking on what it should be so they really need to be hanging on to the young guns they do bring through.
Yeah they were killing us with the offloads. It’s something we’re very poor at and is something Parra will try to chance their hand with next week.
I agree with the ruck spoiling too and it’s another thing we need to improve with. It’s no coincidence the teams who’ve beaten us this year are...
We should take a leaf out of their book with a long pass out to the edge, if the winger jams in time leave the ball and get a penalty for being tackled without the ball. If he doesn’t jam in time tap it on.
So Cherry-Evans and Olakau'atu both facing a two week suspension for the dangerous throw on Lane and just a fine for Sivo for his dogshot. Watching the tackle, it was awkward and I’m alright with it being punished but what did Cherry-Evans do wrong in that tackle? I just can’t see it. Again, an...
That should have been a referred straight to the judiciary charge if ever I’ve seen one. You see guys who are just competing get it slightly wrong and get the book thrown at them. It’s just not right. If you break the rules with an intent to cause injury, the suspension should be in the double...
Yeah he looks like a first grader. Reminded me of Ronaldo Mulitalo’s debut where he and Will Kennedy early in his career had a tough night at Suncorp. It’d be an intimidating place to play in any conditions let alone in torrential rain. But he kept coming back for more.
The Cobbo no-try is pretty consistently how they rule it. It’s just usually a hand instead of a boot from the defending team pushing it dead. And that’s fair game because he wasn’t actually holding the ball. Just one of those things where a 20m tap and 7 tackle set feels unfair.
Fair enough, I agree after replay on the Strange run
I find that a common trend with the coverage. It’s so frustrating. If they’re not zooming in on the coach or an injured player they’re using weird close up angles that give you poor perspective on the play. They try to get too cute. Save the...
