2025 R22 Sat - Gold Coast 26-30* Penrith @ Cbus Super

[Exsilium]

Glad all the worst of the officiating is out of the way. Next games should be smooth sailing.

Like the Warriors last night, Titans should have taken the penalty goal attempt with a few minutes left on the clock. It chews up 60-90 seconds, you have the opportunity to go up by 4 points and the opportunity to get the ball back whether the kick is successful or not.

taking the tap was fine, issue was they then took 5 hit ups. If they score its game over, didn’t even try. Losing mentality against a team with a winning one

I mean the Panthers got some nuts calls but the Titans had the game on a plate at one stage and decided to send up popgun bombs.

Stopping the game for Martin was fair, ref has no clue if he's KO'd there and they got it started quickly when they realised he wasn't. Even the trainer, absolutely a shit merkin act but I don't know whether the rules allow for them to move the kick in front and from out there it's just as likely the kick is missed anyway.

The difference was class in the 7. The shit calls just make it sting more for the fans

Campbell wasn't in his run up.

The only way I can internally justify it

 

[Mr. Shaman]

And 9/11!

I thought that was Bellamy

 

[Saxon]

Can’t wait for the cries of “iT waS An AcCiDeNt” - blud just say that you will do anything including cheating to win. At least you can respect honesty?

Trainer was looking straight at the ref who was waving to him to get off the field. 100% shitmerkinry.

 

[mave]

Was that the same trainer caught wetting the footy just before the kick-off ?

I would have thought Penrith had enough quality with their footy to not have to resort to Melbourne-like tactics against the spirit of the game.

 

[Munky]

Nah but it was the same trainer that orchestrated the Bali bombings.

Poor joke.

Our captain lost his uncle that day.

You can’t expect every random punter to know that.

22.3 rule.

Yeah sure, and thats fine...when it's the actual players doing it.

And since 1908 it's been a pretty word for cheating.

Pete Green was the Penrith trainer who called for play to be stopped in the 2021 finals match won by Penrith 8-6 over the Eels. Stopped the Eels momentum when they might have scored.

 

[jonno_knights]

It's a rule that players aren't allowed in the field of play during conversions.

Trainer 100% knew what he was doing.

Reverse the situation and teams and Panthers would have taken the two, wound down the clock and then iced the game.

If it was the same dude tonight he should be banned from the field for life.

It was the same trainer that sold those mushrooms in Melbourne to the mushroom lady.

Same trainer that ate a bat on holiday in an unspecified province in China.

 

[T-Boon]

Still a dog act. He might have missed it anyway (I was confident he would miss), but what the trainer did just meant that this is all we would talk about.

they have to bring the rule in that the ref can move the kick to in front. Maybe even make it one of those potential 8 pointers (take the sideline conversion then also take a penalty kick from in front).

 

[MRN]

Nah, mine was funnier.
