Congrats On 16 Consecutive Wins!

[Eelementary]

Hey, guys!

Congrats on 15 straight wins - a remarkable achievement!

I have always liked the Panthers, and it's nice to see another team other than the usual suspects leading the comp, for a change!

Cheers Eele, It's been a hell of a year.

Hey, guys!

Congrats on 13 straight wins - a remarkable achievement!

You can stay.

If we win 14 straight I expect you back to change the thread title.

I'll make the effort to do so, mate!

I quite like the Panthers - I actually live in Penrith, and I am astounded at the quality of juniors that the Panthers continually produce.

I was disappointed we lost, but I am quite amazed at the feat the Panthers have achieved - 13 consecutive wins is freakishly good.

Well-deserved, too - you play an attractive brand of physical, high energy footy.

Thanks for the kind words as its nice to get recognition from other team's fans. And remember, a top 4 spot is still a possibility for your side, although you'll have to rely on Souths beating Easts next week.

EDIT: and for Canberra to trip up.

It doesn't just happen. Any team might get lucky and have a good 'un come through their junior system, but for the most part you have to have scouts out there and do the hard and costly work of bringing them into your development system. This is why so many clubs don't bother and just pay overs for whatever is available, quite often players the development clubs cannot fit under their cap.

Parra will make the top 4 if they beat the Broncos and Tiggers. They'll run 3rd if they win both and the Roosters lose a game. They will risk dropping out of the 4 if they can't win both those games.

The Knights will be very disappointed in ending up in the bottom half of the top 8. I expected them to be a top 4 side.

Thank you for the kind words.

This Eels side is quite average; I fear that our forwards are burnt out (RCG's form has plateaued, as has Paulo's), but our biggest problem is our attack.

And I'm not basing it on last night - the Panthers were super impressive, and gave us no ball, so it's hard to attack under those conditions

But statistically speaking, we are the worst attacking side in the NRL - that's concerning.

But this is about the mighty Panthers - what an impressive season you've strung together!

I'm quite chuffed to claim that we are the only side to have beaten the mighty Panthers thus far in 2020!

There is a great chance we will meet in the finals.

Quite possibly, mate - and honestly, I wouldn't expect an Eels win.

Arthur seems to keep saying that he's not concerned about our attack, despite the last, and second-last teams, scoring more tries than we have in 2 months.

Last night was an anomaly, in the sense that we had no ball, so it's hard to score with less than 40% possession (which is a huge credit to Penrith's game).

But for over 2 months, this side has attacked worse than an under-9's side...

Please, do not take this the wrong way, we should have remain undefeated, the previous game was lost due to a 10 minute lapse of concentration.

You're probably right.

We did the same thing against the Roosters - fought our way back, stopped concentrating, and they rolled us.

The issue is you guys are too top heavy. Even at Full strength the pressure is on RCG, Paulo etc to play long minutes. In a long season takes it toll

Yep - we seemingly have a no rotation policy, which is weird.

I am enjoying the winning streak for as long as I can. I know I will never see it again from a Panthers perspective in my lifetime.
Keep it going.
