Round 6 versus Bulldogs

[hindy111]

Dogs played like it was a semi final. Penrith where off across the park. Just didnt seem interested

Preston may have played Martin out of a origin jersey based on tonight he should have

 

[Karnivayne]

Its not just his bench, its identifying players that are having a completely shit game and keeping them on, Yeo was diabolical, worst ive seen in years, Nathan, dont know what he was doing but kicking it 6 metres instead of trying to build pressure was completely out of character not only for him but the team and how they've played for the last 5 games and remove the majority of last year, the past 5 years.. tonight was shocking

Salmonator may take Yeos too…

 

[Girds89]

This is why im so angry. They never turned up. Figured they'd already won the premiership.

Ivan needs to give them a huge dressing down in the sheds

That was honestly disgraceful.

Where was the line speed we sre renowned for... wasnt there from the start..

Nath and yeo had their worst games in probably 6 years.

Dogs will beat us again till talagi sorts his shit out... they looked like scoring every time he touched it..

Serious reality check for our guys. Im not suprised.

How we handle this loss will make or break our year imo.

Dogs have been a ramble all year and we looked complacent from the start and got whooped.

You can loose to any team in this comp if you turn up with a terrible attitude.

Oh well run had to end some time.
Still on top of the table which is a hell of a lot better than last year.
Dogs had to play their best game of the season to beat us and Panthers play their worst.
It was the Dogs first legitimate win against us in a long time too so now that they've won can go back to losing again like the chooks.
Hopefully the lessons are learnt and we can go back to winning starting with the Dolphins next week.

 

[John Hamblin]

I'm officially on the hate talagi train. Useless can't tackle. Done with him.

Easy to bag a player when he has a rare offnight . You call yourself a supporter he is still only a kid. If you want to bag players when they have a RARE offnight you are not the sort of supporter we need!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Chins]

Anyone who thinks its ok to play Cogger in the middle is on another planet.

 

[Port Panther]

Martin not looking like a must re-sign atm

 

[Panther Mike]

I see us either go on a worrying slump now with several losses before Origin, or they play like a proper rugby league team who gives a damn and beat the Dolphins next weekend.

 

[PennyPanthers81]

I had a feeling they would drop this one. Luckily it’s round 6, plenty of time to get their shit together.

 

[Murraymob1]

You got to give Ciraldo credit he out coached Cleary .Talagi was pointed out as penrith weak lined by Cronk and that’s where they went
Not sure but I don’t think there was a penrith player tonight who did not make an error .That is fixable.We just got get back to basics again
When we controll the center we win tonight was to sideways

 

[Girds89]

Anyone who thinks its ok to play Cogger in the middle is on another planet.

The fact you think cogger has anything to do with losing tonight is embarrassing..

Give yourself an uppercut or 5.

Wouldnt matter who came on.. we were stuffed..

Settle down. We obviously put everything into toweling up Melbourne last week, I fully expected us to be flat tonight.....just not rètarded as well

We will have huge problems as everyone will run at the gaps either side of talagi now for free points.

 

[Fangs]

Cogger came on in the 2023 GF to play six as Luai was broken.

Him playing middle is silly, Kenny and him are too small to defend next to each other.

The Luke/Kenny combo lost the ruck in defence everytime as they gave away too many kgs.

In this instance its really not worth discussing tbh.

We were behind by 6. Martin comes off. So they go to Cogger for points.

I could see some argument for Tago but we are talking about him as some kind of x-factor now. Cogger isn't there to do that. Just to be another set of hands and he has done that job brilliantly this year.

Lussick was great last week but what on earth does he offer tonight with 15 to go? He isn't the guy for this scenario.

The truth is we were totally outplayed. Our biggest and best players in Cleary and Yeo were terrible. We got our pants pull down. No bench rotation fixes that.

That doesn't change the fact its moronic to play him there

 

[Girds89]

Preston was always going to be dangerous in good field position which we gave them over and over with terrible line speed, poor ball control and zero punch in attack..

Nath was deadset shocking

 

[age.s]

Damn Blaize is junk. Huge huge downgrade on Luai. When Nathan was nullified Luai would often step up. Blaize has been hopeless.

Debatable.

Shut up. It's not rare by any means it was called out this week by cronk as a weakness and the dogs used it. Teams will run at him all year.
