2020 GF | PREMIERS - Storm 26-20 Panthers @ ANZ

[Danish]

Panthers need to go for the moral victory and just dog shot Smith into oblivion in the second half.

If they can make it so smith cannot physically mount the stage to accept his inevitable CC medal and announce his retirement during his victory speech that’d be great

 

[Perth Red]

Wow,what a weird half of football. Don’t feel like we’ve played that well but 22-0 up. The gods are smiling on Cameron’s farewell!

 

[Last Week]

This is all on Penrith. Melbourne's tries have been given to them by luck.

But Penrith have handed Melbourne their possession. Some very dumb errors.

And they can't blame not getting a rub of the green. They got the ball back off kick off to the game.

This is nothing but a choke.

 

[Front-Rower]

Yeah but my point is the 6 again call was a mistake, cos he does have to penalise the leg pull. Looked to me like he was overriding his own call. It was right in the end though, yes

The 6 again call was made during the tackle. The penalty for a leg pull came after at the play the ball. It’s complicated but his two decisions were correct because they were two different infringements.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers are the bomb

What does your anus say?

 

[Pete Cash]

Has NAS played the ball correctly yet this game?

But if the NRL doesn't care playing the ball legally is a disadvantage. It's like passing the ball back from dummy half.

 

[dogz08]

Except the Eels were down 24-0 @ HT

EDIT: but you're spot on all the same

Close enough

 

[Perth Red]

And panthers are sht lol

 

[hineyrulz]

What?

They cancelled the grand final in 2001 mate. Respect for Sept 11 and all that or something, IIRC

You could be right Baz, I don’t seem to remember it either.

 

[skeepe]

We never had a chance. I’ve never seen such a raping by the officials this bad before.

Told you it’d be the whinging. And over 100% correct calls too. Dear oh dear.

 

[Bazal]

We never had a chance. I’ve never seen such a raping by the officials this bad before.

The Panthers officials who recommended pre-game lobotomies?

 

[smi962]

If clearly had tried to imagine the worse possible scenario for the 1st half, it still would have been better than this.

 

[Danny-Boy]

22-0 half time in a GF. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this.

Manly were up 8-0 at half time in the 40 nil drubbing.

 

[Xcalibre]

They really needed to score some points early considering the intensity they were playing at.

Even after that crazy kickoff that went their way. I thought if they don't score there, it may not be their night, and there were several more instances where they couldn't capitalise.

 

[Exsilium]

Disappointing half of football.

Brenko Lee and Vunivalu being next to each other but that’s not a defensive decision....

The leg pull was a bullshit penalty.

NAS play the ball was shocking.

The call against Kikau for passing it back into Kaufusi was another.

We’re just not winning those small advantages.

Im still predicting Penrith come our firing and get it close

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Well...this isn't working out as well as I thought.

Chin up, bud. Maybe they’ll be over their nerves in the second

 

[Glen]

Raiders fans have moved on mate.

We take skeepe to represent all Raiders fans

 

[Munted]

9-4 penalty count, you beauty! Sutton is such a merkin.

 

[2141 fella]

Blow us a kiss, Ivan

 

[Gmac]

I’m shocked at the amount of people who seemed not to expect this result .. although I must admit I thought would take them 60 mins.
