2020 R1 Sat - Panthers 20-14 Roosters @ Panthers

[GongPanther]

Not sure why the roosters bother with round one anymore

Good idea. Have the bye in round one and still get the two comp points.

Welcome back homie.

 

[GongPanther]

If the season ends this week I'm claiming a premiership.

Well technically, we ARE the new World Champs.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Api hooker for mine as MoM.

Not even Billy can take the MotM off of Api tonight.

If he stays fit then he'll be your best player all year.

Is there anything quite like a dynamic, eyes up hooker to ignite an attack?

He's exactly what Penrith needed.

 

[Willie Ray]

Api hooker for mine as MoM.

man of the match for sure.

 

[GongPanther]

Congrats Pennies. Goal line defence was outstanding tonight and you were definitely hungrier

Cheers B.O.

Still, Easts are the benchmark. A few games and players back, they'll be back in beast-mode.

Koro is a good shout for the best hooker in the comp

 

[roofromoz]

Good things happen with a quality number 9. Welcome back Api.

 

[GongPanther]

Meh, we always lose rnd 1.

It's the Robbo way.

It'll just suck if that's our first and last game for a few months.

Anyway, blow out the cobwebs and add Cordner, Crichton & Jmoz to that team and it's a different ball game.

Great signs for Penrith though. Cleary was great and the team ran hard and seemed to play with less structure.

I don't know WTF it is, but if a team doest have more than a 14 point HT lead at Penrith Park, they simply go to pieces.

Yeah and Isiah Yeo best lock in the game..

 

[shear_joy9]

Roosters dressing room is a good shot of their winning culture. Looking at the ground, gutted they lost.

You see so many players f**king around laughing and dancing after a loss

Arrogance personified lol

 

[Exsilium]

Yeo was the difference.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

3cheat in doubt?

Cheers, bud. You gotta be happy with that effort tonight. Great team effort with Mansour, Cleary and Koroisau in particular looking very good.

They looked insanely dangerous in the first 20, but gradually lost steam as it went on.

 

[Unscrupulous]

Awesome win Penrith. Real gritty.

Roosters showed they still have the ingredients to be the best in the first 20 but they really have some work to do to keep it up for the full 80. Disappointing but then again, we were in this exact spot after Rd 1 in 18 and 19 so not exactly stressed.

Looked ominous at the start, great times for both our sides this year. Game of the round status lived up to its name.

 

[Dodgy]

That is how the GF will be this year!
