TONIGHT'S POSITIVES

I feel with Tinks gone to Greece that there is no one to offset all the abuse currently being thrown around here. So i'm taking it upon myself to point out some positives that came out of tonight.

 

Firstly, our defence is spectacular. To have such poor 5th tackle options as we did and to only lose 10-6 is a massive credit to our defence. Poore, Mannah, Caylo, Fui, Hindy good on you. Our defence was urgent and effective and for that guys you deserve to be proud of yourself!!!

 

Secondly, even though we lost to Knights last week, a lot of fans still came to watch parra today. Nice crowd guys and a special thanks to the 2 guys on the bongos ( im not sure if that was 1 eyed and tony bongo as ive never met you two and don't know what you look like ). You guys were absolutely amazing. You never ever gave up and you cheered the whole time. I could hear your chants from the other side of the northern terrace and there was a little kid walking around singing IM BLIND IM DEAF I WANT TO BE A REF. So thank you, for making the mood a little easier, especially when the team was losing.

 

Lastly, id like to say that this is our team guys. 1st or 16th they need all the support they can get. If you think it's hard on us imagine how hard it is on them. There's so much pressure on them and a few players just need to find their own feet before they start making things happen for the team. Until then keep the faith alive and believe in the team. :)

  • Mortz is under attack by fans in here and maybe rightly so but the one thing I found positive is that Mortz has clearly been given control of the team. I always said we had too many player makers causing problems but after tonight the team looked structured with Mortz in the drivers seat. This is a BIG positive in my eyes. Mortz is our long term halfback DA has chosen so I hope Mortz is given the chance to fully understand how to take control of a team and start to make some attacking decisions clearly his having trouble with.

    Other then that defense is brilliant.... attack is our MAJOR problem.
  • Absolutely correct, attack is our major problem and like the rest of the team, Mortz is suffering the 'year after blues'. I would have liked to see Hindy get a premiership but without a gamebreakwer like Cam Smith or Lockyer or Inglis , it's just not on. All we can do is support the team, win or lose.
    • I don't think losing Johns is a big deal. He wasn't really doing anything anyway if you look at the performance of our halves and set plays.
    • agree with you - morts is still a project player. you dont dominate nrl after 1 season of nrl.
  • hahhaha well either way you guys did an awesome job!!!! lol and i loved the ' this isnt the world cup' chant hahha
