Up to 14th and possibly 13th after the next game, watch out the mighty Knights are coming!

Yeah Schneider was really bad, a wrong call there by Ivan. Alamoti at centre another.

You would have thought Penrith were the only team with players out tonight if you’d listen to Fox.

I don’t understand why he hasn’t put Cole snd Talagi together again.

Against Storm we scored 5 tries with that combination.

Panthers have only scored 4 tries with Schneider on the field all year. Conceded a f**kload more than that though

11 players in total. But no excuse for that shit. Just shows the salary cap is really starting to bite Penrith now, depth has been decimated by low teams paying overs. The only real excuse I would have is picking Brad Schneider who is arguably the other teams best player every time he plays.

Schneider wasn’t available that game was he? He considered Schneider the first up halfback is Cleary is out, hopefully not anymore.

Neither are 7s.

Did the Knights have props/centres playing second row/lock because every back rower in the club (except for the bloke who made his debut) was either injured, suspended or playing Origin? This tends to leave holes which in the main is what Newy ran through in the first quarter of the game. That's all it took them to get the points they needed.

Nice ball for our only points. I know he aint Nathan but he's unfairly maligned. Cogger was worse.

The Knights 2 starting front rowers and 3/5 of the backline were out. Lost Elliott early with a torn bicep and then another one (whoever the f**k he was) dislocated his shoulder too. Despite having zero depth to begin with.

Nobody’s said Penrith didn’t have a stack of players out, but they’re not the only team dealing with shit at the moment.

Available or not. What does that change?

70 minutes against Storm. Panthers scored 5 tries with that combination. Its not a conventional halves pairing. But they ignited our attack.

Nathan was ruled out early and we only lost to Storm on goal kicking. Ivan often sucks at making good decisions and it usually takes outside forces to make them for him.
Neither are 7s.
Yet they’re better than any combination involving Schneider. Because they might not be 7’s. They’re still better NRL players than Schneider is.

Taking this one a bit hard?

Chin up you'll probably still finish above us.
