Penrith's easy draw strikes again

Once again the Panthers have been gifted the easiest of draws to aid in their progression to a non-indicative finals berth. Consider the following.

- Penrith are currently 6th
- The 5 teams ahead of them they only play once, all 5 in the first 9 rounds, and they lost all 5 games
- The other team they play once is the Tits, and they managed to win that one
- They have two wins against Canberra, Canterbury, Wests, Newcastle, and the cuzzy bros
- Their last two games are their second matches against the Dragons and Manly, who have both conveniently fallen in a heap
- They lost twice to souffs (lol)
- They managed one each way against the injury destroyed Cowboys

Penrith are flat track bullies of the highest order, and a total myth. They have exploited their super easy draw to get themselves on the cusp of a finals berth. And they were pre-season favourites (lololololol).

Even the easy games arent that easy sometimes. Couldnt even beat Souths. Lost to them twice. That should be an easier victory than Cowboys, Sea Eagles or Raiders.

Also at Round 9 Panthers were second last. So most their wins were against better teams.

A Stain Mergeawarra fan shouldn't be talking about easy draws. If your team coached by a guy many of you like to call 'McIdiot' had won the games you were supposed to win (against Newcastle & Souths), you would be in the 8 yourself right now and not worrying about what other teams were doing, lol.

They clearly have the refs and match review committee on their side too. I hope they crash and burn.

Hahaha Even after you spat on the ref at half time they came out and flogged us with penalties, you had 5 in a row at one stage did you not? Many of them on 4th or 5th tackle.

With a penalty count like that all you have to do is complete above 75 percent and you probably win...

Joel Thompson doesn't mind breaking a nose or two with a swinging arm, here's hoping he adds a few more notches in this one.

DWZ and JFH would do nicely for starters.

That is an easy draw but they are 1 of the best 8 teams.

The finals will sort them out if they are the 7th or 8th best team.

Raiders had 53% possession. Won the penalty count 8 to 3... milking a bunch of 5th tackle penalties for the game to be all but handed to you.

Raiders 15 errors are what lost them the game. Also Croker getting carved up by Blake didn't help. But if you controlled possession better you win big.

The best part about the whole thing is, now that they have made the finals, Hook will still be their coach next year!
