But you have to admit,the Panthers are looking good.

22-0 @ 1/2 time.

Catch the disease, Warriors LOL.
Only difference is Warriors may come back and actually win it!

 

[wittyfan]

Warriors already out of puff for 2010 tbh.

 

[skeepe]

Panthers are getting away with murder in the ruck. Seems there's a big difference in the time both sides are allowed to hold down.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Line speed in defence is absolutely sensational. Waterhouse and Lewis both back in the backrow has helped in this regard. They are getting in the faces of the Warriors and taking the rest of the team with them. Both really good leaders.

Grant continues his sensational form in 2010. A real chance for a bench spot for City.

 

[Caged Panther]

Warriors are definately getting a few dodgy calls from the referees and our absolute reliance on kicks to score tries is a massive worry IMO.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Panthers 59% possession.

Warriors 7 errors to 2

Despite that the Warriors have only missed 8 tackles compared to 5 so if they had their fair share of possesion and more importantly hold onto it then they could put some pressure on the Panthers who don't seem to have a lot outside of their kick and rush tactic.

Still have to come back to the team selections which were really dumb.

Penalties 5-4, Warriors are losing because they played a horrid half, no other reason.

 

[Rovelli]

Weak first half from the Warriors. I don't think I've seen any team play worse than they did in the first-half.

Penrith have been very-efficient and done what they had to. As for tries from kicks, you take them.

 

[WarriorsFan4Life]

They are killing us up the middle, our skimpy forward pack is non existent. Our backs are doing all the hard yards ffs.

Too many penalties, too many mistakes.

Agree about the selections, packer is a spark up the middle, he should be there.

 

[user_nat]

Jennings and Tate, my dream team centres, are killing me. Do something you silly heads (missing tackles does not count as doing something Tate).

 

[WarriorsFan4Life]

Here we go...someone hit the on switch.

Miss the Cowboys V Knights game? Cowboys would have us covered for worst half.

As for tries from kicks, they don't happen if the opposition isn't in a position to use them. Bad effort all round from the Warriors in the first half.

 

[skeepe]

Nice try by the Warriors despite the bad pass.

Waterhouse is really pushing the limits with his holding down though, won't be surprised if the refs lose patience soon.

 

[Fibroman]

Warriors will come back and win this one.

 

[user_nat]

Thank you Tate. I knew he would read my post and improve.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Did Matt Elliott give the Panthers booze during the halftime break? They need to get their game faces back on.

 

[skeepe]

Refs finally penalizing Penrith for their incessant holding down, and this is the result. Good stuff.

 

[Scorpio30]

Need this conversion...
Warriors go forward in the first half was beyond woeful...The Panthers line speed was suffocating.

 

[Timmah]

Come on NZ!!!! Give me my 5/5!
