Oh so they're penalizing blockers this week

Why aren't they allowed to take a quick tap for that btw? They went too and Clarke said 'not for that'

Was wondering that too. It didn't happen inside the 10m and obviously wasnt an offside penalty. Refs are just too scared to allow them to happen unless they are 70m out from the try line.

I don't know that they'll get that far. Another prelim choke is my prediction
That's where the luck of the draw comes in.

They'll be praying for a free ride like we got last year vs some pretender in the Prelim.

But if they face Melbourne or Manly then it'll be entertaining viewing. They play like McGuire watches... very manic.

If they go behind vs a team with class of Manly or Melbourne they may well implode again.

Souths are just several classes above us. They have the stars and very few (if any) plodders dragging them down.

There are few things finer in Rugby League than watching the Bonkoes on the receiving end of some serious drubbage.
Another simpleton Penrith fan hates us? There are so many of you now. :lol:

Was strange. He actually said 'not for that' not the usual 'I haven't given the mark' basically you're right, refs too scared to allow a quick tap that results in a try

Penriff fans still butthurt over the fact that they've had a luxury draw all year so they feel the only way to retaliate is via match threads, wisdom at it's very best

I think souths are different this year. The last 2 years they've had no plan b apart from the power. Now they've got exciting backs like walker and Johnson. I don't think they're home and hosed like channel 9 have is believe. But I can easily see them making the GF and winning it. Never thought that the last 2 years

I can recall times they haven't allowed it even at long range. It happened quite a few times in the weeks following Thurston scoring a long range quick-tap try. Just seems they don't like giving any sort of control of the game away.

This game is a Tigers at Shark Park 2005 moment.

Yeah well... we've coped it from you lot quite a bit so what ever comes back at you is well deserved.
