Pretty wild we could have been 4th if we won that, instead we are in 10th. Panthers go up to 1st.

Oh well, full strength panthers vs knights missing ponga, Jsaf, Elliott and Brailey

hopefully gives us some confidence going foward
We also lost Jones after he made 1 run and DSaf was useless in his second stint. Jack Johns had a couple of errors. So basically we only had Mann on the bench offering any value today.

100%, goal kicking has been our Achilles heal for a while now, hard to blame Miller for the missed goals as he came into the season as probably 3rd choice kicker but his errors on the other hand are really becoming an issue
He didn't even have the ball correctly on the tee for his last kick. I 100% blame him.

Well played guys. Lot of improvement needed but we’re on the right track.
Big season coming.

Yeah the story will be how poorly Penrith played, but it was legitimately a case of being made to play that way. We were monumental in defence.
Idk if it will be the story tbh. I think it was plain to see that the Knights intensity frustrated Penriff imo.

Just a side note, my Goodness they're a disgustingly unlikeable side. Great team but ugh...just so cocky, grubby and unsportsmanlike.

Same. Not because I don't think he's good enough but because I don't think his attitude fits the current culture of the side. I don't want him to be a bad influence.
Honestly, it's not his attitude that worries me. I think he's shown enough when he's in a competitive team to show he can get in there and do it. I'm more worried about whether he can fit into the systems that are working.

Kalyn has always struck me more as a "icing on the cake" kind of player. It's just up to whether we can fit him in.
