I am starting to think we have the dumbest supporters on here .... watched they way we manouvre and undermine any failures.
The relentless criticism and then the undermining of the coach, front office etc indicates some people cannot just understand the current problems.
Players were pretty pathetic today and I honestly think with the injuries and dislocation of being maimed that we will be lucky to win another game this season......Can we fix it, I doubt it, it is not an actual lack of effort it is more a lack of ability.
We have two backs with any pace and real class, both obviously carried injuries, you all being such determined critics out there realising Moses could not run, or place kick. JAC's ribs are so heavily strapped he had problems breathing. Joash Pappilli tried hard, never dropped a high ball but had no support, Penisini has come back early from injury, Kelly is just a pathetic mess from a once competent player, Volkman was honest and the debut winger also honest. Realistically both Volkman and the new kid are not first graders. You can use players like that in one off's but not as regular first graders. It really was a non existent backline and the length of field tries that were put on us reflects that.
Our forwards I cannot defend them, but I do know that you only need one or two key defensive players out and you are buggered. If your backs cannot carry out defence, then the forwards will always be run ragged.....tell me you understand this?
See I can defend my team, why cannot you at least attempt to understand our situation. Last year Souths had similar problems, their supporters stuck with them, we don't have the talent that they have, it will be interesting to see if we keep our new St George players after he watches and see's this result but no we will blame MON for losing him and anyone else that wants to come.
NB Anyone that wants to sack the coach is a non thinking moron, he can only work with what he has and I am sure he is trying as hard as he can to come up with a side to play canterbury next week.....good luck with that one Jason. I don't envy your attempting to make something out of a club like Parra, but we stalwarts will support you.
Final point rather than being perenial pessitmists laced with disloyalty, try coming up with some solution's and commitments to support the coaching staff through this period of "seeming disaster" without coming with your fantasy solutions.

I was busy and gonna watch the replay. Read a few comments here and didn't bother. So at least someone got some benefit from the 1ee doomscroll
🤣
Yeah i was driving and turned the radio off at 12-nil. Happy with my life choices today.
Ya gotta enjoy the small mercies
True dat. When life gives you lemons, piff 'em at Mark O'Neill 😋
Coryn, you do not have to say but was there a reason for leaving in regards to the club? Or simply just wanted to go back to NZ?
Equal with the Storm. Go Parra!
I don't post on here often, but to call supporters dumb, is probably the dumbest thing I have seen in a while. We criticise and complain cause we actually want our team to succeed, and to succeed you need to own your shortcomings.
A couple points you made, you framed it as pure luck, or being unlucky, no be real, the things you pointed out are lack of foresight. Your Rabbitohs comparison is the biggest straw clutch, they were missing players that would actually make other squads, besides Iongi, our injury ward is full of reserve graders, bench if we push it.
Move away from the squad, we criticise the front office because they couldn’t organise a damn thing. If we can all see the issue R&R and the club can't, what solutions do you want us to come up with?
There is two things here, the older generation of fans cling onto the 80's, the rest of us have to just accept we support a cellar dweller club. 14 spoons and nothing but 6 years of dominance, yet here I am and many others spend thousands on memberships and merchandise to support this club, only to rock up to a game and get a thrashing against the bloody titans.
Get a grip mate, the problem isnt those that criticise the club, the problem is people that "defend the undefendable".
Ps come at me as hard as you want, I don't really care, real Parra fans are fed up.
Well said.
to call supporters dumb, is probably the dumbest??? Pot Kettle? What about "morons" doesn't that get a guernsey?
"There is two things here, the older generation of fans cling onto the 80's,"..... is that not allowed?
Para Time, why do you keep your home page "private"
PS My Grip is fine......and btw I am disappointed as you are, just not contemplating anything drastic!
