Non-Manly Games [Round 26, 2017]

[Harvies elbow]

I reckon Parra are definately the NRL's pick for this years's GF!

They are getting penalties that they don't even know what its for!

Absolutely Toddy's favourites !!

 

[Harvies elbow]

And look no further than that decision to disallow that try as proof.
No team gets the 50 calls over the Spoon.

What a farken joke......Toddy loves Brisbane, and Toddy loves the Eels.

 

[Simonmyers11]

How good are the two young back rowers from souths murray and crighton. Just what manly need

 

[Harvies elbow]

Have the parasites had a HIA yet?
They'd normally be up to no 6 by now.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Ah souths bombed that. Parra defence out wide looks just as bad as ours

 

[NLSeaEagle]

Conspiracy theory 2 - do Parra really want to win this game?

Is 4th spot really all its cracked up to be?
4th would have to play Storm at AAMI.

It's for sure a dead set loss, and you risk injuries, so while 4th sounds like 2 bites at the cherry............is it really?

Its better to play the Dragons/Panthers and get to teh GF the hard way.
Then when you come up against the Storm, it will be in Sydney in the GF where the NRL will be throwing every favour your way!

Brisbane is the NRL's cash cow, doesn't-matta is the perceived jewel in the crown in the Western Sydney fight against the evil galactic empire(s), Darth AFL and Darth A-League

 

[HoldenV8]

Gus Gould just said that when doesn't-matta is playing well, there is no greater fan base.

I see what he's saying.....their fans are big bandwagon jumpers.

Top 4 for sure!

One you get a chance to win and go straight into a prelim final
Two you get a second chance if you lose and guaranteed home semi the next week
Three after that first week melbourne if they win go on the other side of the draw so you dont have to play them in a knockout prelim final. Wont have to play them again until the GF if you make it that far. I would always want top 4 in lieu of a knockout match. Plus finishing 4th and playing Melbourne first with a second chance is better than finishing 3rd or second and potentially playing Melbourne in the prelim

 

[HoldenV8]

Even if it means playing Melbourne in Melbourne in the first week, finishing 4th gives you the double chance.

I would rather play there and know that even if beaten we'd get a 'home' semi final the week after rather than have to run the sudden death gauntlet each week.

Never said it was a good theory;-)

All good points, you've convinced me.

 

[HoldenV8]

Wow, Moses was offside and put into touch.....and doesn't-matta get the penalty.

The chosen ones. Of course 3 years ago Souffs would have got that call...

And now Semi gets away with an even more blatant offside. FMD

 

[NLSeaEagle]

Oh Badger you've done it again.........

Managed to turn a dead set Souths penalty to one for Parra!!

Love his work!!

 

[NLSeaEagle]

And the Semi offside..........it was close........ only about 5 metres!!

 

[HoldenV8]

People want the NRL to be more transparent. Well, they couldn't be any more transparent with who the chosen ones are.

 

[Harvies elbow]

Parramatta get the call with a bloke offside, badge gets the call from upstairs and penalised Souths for dragging into touch, radwanker offside as well.
Even the commentators seem on to the rort.
It's becoming more blatant every game.

 

[Kevinward777]

And the hometown Parra lovin decisions just keep rolling on. Toddles must be on the blower. On a side note, Brad Arthur has one of those heads that just screams out "slap me, and slap me hard!"

 

[SeaEagle21]

Strip and a half, nothing to see here folks

 

[Kevinward777]

Jenny Edwards farkin cat! Parra strip as obvious as the sun, ruled a knock on.
