Ahh man as a Parra Unicorn the year started so strong.
Tonights game and previous month or so has been tough to watch.
I look at us in top 3 and I feel happy that we are there, but I look forward and think with the way our attack is whats the point, we will go down in straight sets in the finals.
Firstly I wanna say, epic effort by the boys in defence, I mean the missed tackles was bad but some serious defence at times.
But the big issue!!!! OUR ATTACK FKING SUCKS!!!!!
Bad:
Sivo - This guy has literally no go forward, he offers nothing but the occasionall nice finishes. He serious hits the line up like a marshmellow....if you look at a Brian To'o and Nofoloma type impact they make meters, break tackles, offload. Sivo has the lateral movement of a bus, makes errors, average under the high ball. Not sure the answer hey, but hes a super dud and liability atm.
Moses - aka mr put up a bomb and hope for the best....we all know Moses included hes at his best when he is running the ball. Lead your fecking team ffs.
Hooker - without reed we are screwed, no depth at hooker.
Kane Evans...cannot wait to see the back of this guy, his stupid captains call changed the way of the game followed by his stupid penalties.
Coach - Well the writing is on the wall Arthur, your coaching skills are showing. hit x 5 and bomb. Where the fk is the tactics....
Good:
Gutho - I love this guy, he deserves better, he makes the occasional mistake but the guy is all heart.
Jennings - For an old bloke hes been one of our better players.
Anyways, its kinda sad that I will die without seeing a premiership. was born January 1987, at this stage i dont see a premiership coming anytime soon. I have backed them every time they take the field, But i am kinda just over the BS dissapointments.
P.S looking at Fergo after the loss laughing his ass off with Panthers players doesnt sit well. Anyone else hate when players laugh after losses....
Stay Strong Parra fans. We deserve extra mental health for being parra fans.
Cheers

Mate you do realise we're had 35% of the ball tonight right again st the leaders at their home without half our spine.... with one third of possession what were you expecting the result to br
we did bloody well to stay in touch for so long with barely a tackle in their quarter - that almost never happens in a game
credig yo Penrith they kicked well and pinned us down
Omg embers have a fucking shake
for a moody cancerian you are a FAILURE
everyone isbeong totally spot on
our attack ATM is farked
Brad is not the guy to answer these issues unfortunately , as we have a lot of gifted players who could get us there
What Carlo said :P
Carlo we had the ball hakf as much as they did... do know what exhaustion feels like? Well make yourself exhausted then try to attack against an opponent who's had you pinned all game
with all dues respect trying to criticise our attack in a game where we had 10 tackles in their half is ridiculous
tonight our opponents were too good but our attack or lack of it wasn't the story cos we had fuck all opportunities to attack
for a blonde you really are blonde sometimes
and you're out of the unicorns club and you've joined the "I told you so " club hating dickhead society.... once you leave there's no coming back
Embers
I’m now brunette
and you’ve seen me exhausted at maccas circa 1990 serving you Myers fuckers
Our attack was too one out. I know the boys were tired but I am not speaking just about this game. We have been doing one out coming out of our end way too much for way too long. However, that is all I think we should really critcise in attack from watching this game. We really had no opportunity to attack and every possible quick play the ball was slowed down by panthers flopping with no 6 agains. However, I would love to see Moses running but I guess when panthers have had all the ball, they have so much energy in defence that their is no space for Moses to run.
Yep. Agree
Embers is right. We didnt see the ball all night. We did that much defence the forwards were gassed. You can only attack when your forwards go forward. However the poor bastards did that much defence they couldn't go forward. What can a halfback do when he has no space to work and no momentum to play off?
And the other off a kick
Embers I agree. No team can win with 35% possession. Anyone who had played the game knows that doing 100 more tackles than the opposing team from you own 10 metre line Zapps you. We had no repeat set and the panthers got plenty go there way.
Funny how everyone forgets how we can play when it comes together. Yes we have been off the last 4-6 weeks. We smash the broncs next week and that could be the spark that get the attack back again.
Carn the mighty eels.
