Round 5 vs Penrith Match Thread

[Bandwagon]

Early errors cost us, we handed Penrith too much possession in good position in the first twenty, the defensive effort required to keep them out came back to haunt us with fatigue in the end.

Particularly with the limited interchange, we just have to value the ball more.

Norman wants 800k? He has been awful the last couple of weeks.

 

[eels_fan]

His kicking game was first rate today.

Good luck to all you panthers supporters who don't pretend to be parra fans during the week

Why would anyone in their right mind wanna do that?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Winning only gets your hopes up. I don't know how I'd deal with that.

 

[IFR33K]

Would you rather have a side that just doesn't win games in the first place? That's what you get without third party support.

Lmao.

:lol: thats the problem, this board struggles to attract TPA support and when they do they f**k it up.

No one on their right mind would, is the obvious answer to that

Attack, defence, ball playing and kicking, Norman played well for most of the game.
Where is the evidence he was playing awful today?

 

[Sean7]

Sick of these random decision reversals. Do it every time or not at all.

 

[hineyrulz]

If Norman was awful i'd hate to think how Foran played then......

That was my main beef, what about all the other decisions the whole game they missed???

 

[Casper The Ghost]

BA & Foran's pressie - get your tissues ready.

Please, did you watch the game?

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Lmao at a guy who finished 10th and 12th with the Eels in his 2 seasons here wanting 800k

 

[phantom eel]

Thought we kicked two tackles too early on our last set when we had the lead, and gave the ball to them in better position and with more time on the clock than they deserved. If you're going to kick early in that situation, at least make the ball go into touch within their 20m line.

In te end, the Panthers wanted the two points more than we did - which is pretty silly if we are facing that points deduction this week. Arthur would not be impressed with us letting go of that game, after we'd fought back in the second half to hold a lead.

He wasn't awful. Actually did some good stuff. But I also don't think he's played well enough, consistently, to be demanding top dollar. His current rep is from playing great in the nines. That's an indicator of what he's capable of, but he's got to do it in the NRL more often.

Just as well losing 4 points is no big deal.

Of course and he did not lose us the game. Played well most of the game.
