Round 7 V Sharks

[Dragon Revival]

Time to get rid of Gould and Griffin. The handling was atrocious and lost count of the number of tries bombed.
The Sharks have an ageing pack. Potential and hyphenated surnames
do not win games.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Yes!! Let's run sideways all game!!

 

[chrisD]

Towelled up at home by admittedly fantastic side, but a routine performance by them. Kikau has the potential to be our greatest answer to our biggest problem and is left out of the team, tells me the coach doesn't understand our problems and thus there's little hope to them being addressed.

 

[David brown]

Blake and dwz were the only ones playing with some heart today... Can't stand Penrith losing but when they lose like a pack of bitch merkins it hurts even more... Griffin needs to go asap.. Dopey merkin

 

[Panther Pete]

It's really not looking like

Yeo had a go as well as Blake and DWZ.

All game we across the field, our attack desperately needs to be straightened up. I do have a question for all the super confident panther fans on here that will no doubt find a positive in us being 2 from 7.......where is our improvement going to come from?

 

[Mr Angry]

Flanno ball, it is effective.

Probably not going to come under this coach, but it could in this form.
1. ???
2. Mansour
4. Blake
6. Moylan
8. Merrin
10. Latu
12. Peachey
13. Cartwright

14. Kikau

Something we need to learn to do against good teams... We are no chance to make the 8 if we don't learn to grind teams out...

Playing like a touch team obviously isn't working..

 

[madunit]

Waqa Blake and Wallace were stand outs.

Martin needs to play straighter. When Panthers are playing well and scoring points he runs straighter.

When they're struggling he gets very sideways which just caises all the outside players to stand still and that is killing the attack.

 

[madunit]

We are the least patient footy team ever. Errors, penalties and shithouse attack killing us. The Sharks aren't even playing well and gave us covered comfortably.

Tigers say hi

 

[TheFrog]

Time to get rid of Gould and Griffin.

Dragons supporters. If they can't sack Mary, they want to sack someone else's coach.

 

[hindy111]

Rookie halves are problem not hiku lol. But agree hiku starts at centre or wing or not in team.

 

[tripster]

I think the problem is that we are just not winning the ruck very often so we rarely get quick play the balls with the defense back pedalling, and Griffin also seems to have coached the offload out of us (whereas under Cleary we probably pushed the offload too much).

It is very difficult for our halves to create anything against a flat or advancing opposition defensive line - hence all of the running sideways.

Our forwards need to hit the line harder, and push for the fast play the ball, even if that means less post contact metres (which for some reason has become the focus).

 

[umina panther]

f**k i hate being right. TMM is a talent but Carty back at 6 next week. And Cleary fmd mate you are more than bomb hope

 

[Tronald Crump]

We have f**king no idea how to score

Unless we play Newcastle or the Jason Taylor led Tigers.

 

[David brown]

Yeah Carty back to 6 run TMM of the bench...

 

[Arnold]

Gould's comment of them being lucky to win the premiership last year and his constant bagging of Gallen. I am sure that will fire them up.

Good call Yak

 

[The yak]

Good call Yak

I was hoping not to be right on that one but when you give good opponents a reason to fire up they usually take it.
It was a stupid comment by Gould that didn't need to be said.

4. Blake
6. Moylan
8. Merrin
10. Latu

14. Kikau

Latu needs to pull his finger out if he wants to retain his bench spot let alone start - he is playing rubbish, so too is Merrin. Their form this year is in dire contrast to 2016. Peachey needs to be 14.

DWZ at fullback is the logical choice if Moylan is moved to 6. He runs the ball back hard every time and we wouldn't need another ball playing fullback.

The problem with pushing Moylan to 6 is you effectively lose a talent in TMM.

I've been flamed several times on here but will say it again - I don't see the hype surrounding Moylan. Sure he has some great touches every now and then but his positioning at the back is bad and he is almost no chance of busting a tackle. A fullback needs to have 1 if not both of these abilities. I'm sure someone will throw some stats at me.

Moylan is a shit fullback and now has to share his position (or role in the team) with TMM. Thats why neither are killing it. They are sharing the same role. We have 2 sixes and no fullback.

Moylan was the form player of the competition after Origin 3 last year. He was playing half in attack and killed it.

Moylan at 6. Tmm on bench and a ball runnibg fullback would improve us a lot.
