Round 5 V Storm

[roofromoz]

Indeed we were.

From memory, the Storm were the only team we played during the regular season of 2003 that we didn't register a win against.

Snapped our club record 8 match winning streak too, the bastards. Mind you, the 8th win the week before was a golden point win over the Cowboys in Townsville, so maybe it took the juice out of the boys a little bit.

JFH has been cut from the 21 man squad. Looks like we will be 1-17.

 

[Fangs]

I'm excited!

Manly did their part last night against the Roosters. Now there is only one team left that is undefeated...Melbourne are due.

 

[Fangs]

Rooney was probably ruled out for that game as a result of catching a cold playing alongside Paul Franze.............

Haha oh the fonz.

I remember a game at Penrith stadium in 2005. Rooney threw his arms up in disgust and screamed at Franze after he threw his 5th dummy on his way to the try line. And as the script normally went, Franze came up short of the line.

 

[Fangs]

Roons and Franz sharing a rare moment of joy together. No surprises who has the ball in his hands!

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Hats off to the club's development... Full Time in the Holden Cup and Penrith have knocked off the undefeated Storm 36-20 and shoot up to top spot. Hopefully a sign of things to come later tonight.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Leota in for Akauola (elbow) only change tonight.

I've had a few beers today and now I'm thinking we are a chance........this wont end well

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Never, ever, ever confident against the Storm - for obvious reasons. I have a feeling they will take care of us pretty comfortably.

 

[umina panther]

Blake on the wing........the club pays a man big money to make a call like that. Fmd

 

[God-King Dean]

Peachey needs to be taken out of the centre position immediately

Cost Penrith 2 tries tonight, & could have been more

One bad game in the midst of many fantastic ones. Good logic. Only argument that supports that is that Blake is wasted on the wing.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Can't fault the boys on that. Melbourne were just perfect in defence. No one would have beat them.

 

[Black Magik]

Good luck to any team beating Melbourne this season!

They had everything thrown at them...amazing

Lol, one

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Lol, one

He has been one of our best in every game so far. That was one bad game from him.

I want to know what Griffin is bringing to the team. We have the raw talent, but when you see a game plan in which the fifth tackle play is either (a) midfield bomb if we are over halfway or (b) run it and hope the opposition knocks it down if we are inside the 20, then you have to wonder.

We need someone who can take this talent and make it smart and consistent. At the moment all I see is a team with no real direction - the lack of structure can help to blow away shitty teams, but as soon as we turn up against a smart, well-drilled team, we flounder.

I don't think this is our year anyway, never was. But we HAVE to have a coach that is molding the team to consistently improve in terms of work ethic and in-game tactics so that we can challenge from next season on. Anyone seeing this yet?

He's been good but he's not a centre and Blake sure as f**k isn't a winger

 

[ashton]

I said from day one the problem we have is Anthony Griffen.

 

[umina panther]

Peach isn't a centre and Blake isn't a winger......I wonder what changes could sort this. Simple f**king stuff
