Jono said:The Who said:But the biggest JOKE is that Channel Nein has selected Parramatta as the Friday night match of the round!
And it's not as if they are playing a powerhouse; it's Penrith. I guess Gus has orchestrated that coverage.
No, it's because of the AFL game this weekend. GWS vs Sydney. This was a battle for the West so they put it on the Friday.
Duff said:A couple of years ago Parra were complete tards. They were smashed by the media during the week, made to look like fools.
Then they played the high flying Manly at home.
They were allowed to throw forward passes, hold down in tackles & pretty much do what they want. What needed to be was that parra had a win. And it was made to be true.
All this in a time before GWS Gunts.
We're on a flogging to nothing next week. Parra beating Manly will be an NRL directive to the refs. The boys need to be on like donkey kong to win at parra next week.
I agree. Tonight was a bad result for us. We need to be on the ball next week.
They'll have Hayne back for sure and will be as fired up as a team can be. We always seem to meet these lower teams at the wrong time, Cronulla were similarly desperate last week and we saw the result of that.
