'15 | R10 | Mon | MAN 10-11 PEN | Brookvale

[umina panther]

Penrith have too many plodders in the forwards. It's a serious ploddathon in the engine room and on the fringes.

Agree but RCG looks very promising

 

[Rhyno]

Good 1st half

 

[typicalfan]

Manly have their mojo back.

Good game so far Manly deserve the lead.

 

[Elektrik Shock]

Manly are my most hated team, but my god the refs have a hard on for Penrith tonight, a fair called game and Manly would already be out of sight.

 

[Tommy Smith]

"The Ploddening-In 3D"

Starring Nigel Plum, Sika Manu and Sam McKendry.

 

[umina panther]

Sam has actually been ok

 

[Tommy Smith]

Agree but RCG looks very promising

Agreed. He does look the goods. Both he and Trebojevic are a couple of outstanding young props.

Merrin will certainly help. And whilst I still think Cartwright will represent NSW, he seems to have stagnated this year. Same for Tyrone Peachey who is too hot and cold. Still, that trio has the makings of a tremendous attacking backrow if Cleary gives them licence to play footy.

But you could definitely do with two more quality props going forward to partner RCG.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Chocolate Stirrers, more like it.

Ammiroight?!

But seriously, The Panties are f**ken shit.

 

[Nugget10]

We just look like we don't want to be there

 

[Munted]

Pull the other one mate. Ref's been shyte for both sides. Dare say manly have the edge.

 

[GongPanther]

There has been plenty of time in the past when the 1/2 time break did us wonders.

Hopefully a less erratic effort in the 2nd half.

 

[mxlegend99]

Some questionable calls both ways, but Manly clearly the better side and the scoreboard flatters the Panthers in all honesty. Lewis Brown had his worst half of football in some time, and our defence through the middle is non existent.

Damn we miss the physicality of Jamal Idris and the class of Dean Whare. As much potential as DWZ and Blake have, they're clearly outclassed by Lyon and Matai in the centres. But considering it's >10 games of NRL experience in the centres for more than 300 it's not a shock to be honest. Brett Stewart is also having a blinder... but not really at the expense of his opposite. Seriously hope Daley is considering Stewart/Moylan at fullback and Dugan in the centres. We're going to need that extra dimension in attack to cover for Hodkinson who is in career worst form.

It's at Brookvale can you blame them?

 

[umina panther]

Get up you f**kwit

 

[blaza88z]

Matai will be lucky to walk out of the ground after that

 

[Diesel]

Marty Bella moment there by Matai

 

[butchmcdick]

Matai is one staunch merkin

 

[typicalfan]

Weak penalty.

 

[GreenMachine121]

Some f**kin average players on display tonight
