Oh well makes it easier on me since Gordon isn't there to kick the goals for my fantasy side.

Purtell has a disallowed try early, and now Carney has one going upstairs...possible 1 on 1 strip (checking the 2nd man)

 

[aussies1st]

Surely gotta be a try, Carney had the ball in his hand before Campo touched the player. And rightfully so try awarded.

LOL why is Costigan commentating?

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

"10 minutes 'til oranges" LOL, the metaphor tally is off the charts

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

"Sloppy jalopy" LOL WTF

4 games on Saturday. Fox only have Smith,Raymond and Braybook to call games.

 

[skeepe]

Massive knockon in the leadup to penrith's first try.

 

[VictorTheViking]

We are our own worst enemy tonight.....f**king bullsh*t.....sh*t coach, sh*t team.

 

[abpanther]

I didn't get to watch this game but am very happy with the result considering we had Gordon and Coote out, then Jennings goes down with an injury.

For those watching, who were the standouts??

wooden spoon coming to canberra in 09

worst attack in the comp by a long long way....

furner you were a brillant player, you are a fantastic person, but you are a sh*thouse coach

 

[pantherz9103]

Stoked with the win. Defence was great under pressure. Hope Jennings isn't out for too long. He would've been in the City side and probably NSW, terrible luck if it rubs him out.

 

[Caged Panther]

Seems to be a bit of mixed news regarding jennings, ABC radio apparently reporting strained ankle, Fox reporting potentially out for the season? Hopefully the ABC is right.

 

[bigfoot]

The commentating on the ABC makes me sick.
They were blatantly biased throughout the whole match, then they just spent 10 minutes after the match going on about how bad the refereeing was. f**k off.
"The Raiders got a hard time with the referees"... despite the fact they were awarded 11 penalties.
Who the hell is doing the commentating? Ex Raiders players?

 

[choc_soldier]

The way I heard it was that if he came back on he could further aggrivate it and therefore be potentially season ending. Hopefully he is back sooner rather than later... his try tonight was a cracker... similar to his try against Cronulla in Round 1.

I think FOX actually said that the Penrith trainer was saying that if Jennings went back on the field it could make it a season ending injury.

Yep spot on, they didn't mention much other than that.
None the less another poor display by us, our attack is the worst in the comp easy which is quite the fall from grace from being the 2nd best last season.

 

[Caged Panther]

Good to know hopefully he'll be right in a few weeks.
