[TheFrog]

Plenty of bloodletting here. The Cows made too much ground up the middle. We could use a couple of big tough forwards. A Gavin Cooper and a Wade Graham perhaps. Blokes we let go.

And it goes without saying, video ref decisions on tries are not our friend this year.

Still, we were the second best team on the park for the third week running. It's a slump. We'll come out of it. The Cows did, we will too.

 

[MacDougall]

Elijah Taylor 68 tackles is a big effort!

Ethan Lowe is off contract. Clubs should be lining up for him and Grevsmuhl.

 

[pantherz9103]

Maybe not season over after tonight but season over if they lose to Manly next week. Wouldn't recover from that.

settle down champ...its round 5. penrith gona find their groove. They will play finals.

We won't win a game before Soward is back, and if we're lucky we may win 70% of our games once he is. Probably be scraping into the top 8 if we do. or we could win half our games or worse and miss out by miles.

Next 3 games are quite winnable. If we can't win 2 of them we may as well give up.

You make Cowboys fans seem optimistic

 

[Rhyno]

I said in the off season I couldn't understand why some experts were tipping the panthers for a top 4 spot. I've always said they won't make the 8 this year and will finish in the bottom. 4

Realist. I can tell when a mob just isn't up to it.

Our last 3 games were winnable (if we had Soward). But between poor calls against us and terrible defence we haven't really looked a genuine chance at a win. Throw those 50/50s our way and the games are closer, but we probably still lose without Soward there to close the games out.

We haven't won a single game without him since he came here. Good teams or shit teams, it doesn't matter. We are only ever an unlikely ho po eful winner at best. Realistically we are not close though.

Not bottom 4. They usually finish between 10th to 12th in their typical derpy seasons. Parra won't be there either because they can't win a game that isn't played at Pirtek.

You say all sorts of shit and no one listens.

Penrith are doing exactly what a side in their position should be. Sowards very rare purple patch tapered over the cracks last season

Truth.

The refs didn't cost Penrith,hell the penalty count was 9-5 their way,and Mansour lost control of the ball,cows just played better.

 

[lafai]

Rennings and Gennings on the left, Whare and Mansour on the right, DWZ fullback and Moylan 6, John or Smith 7.

Go an enjoy the spoon if that is the team. Moylan a 5/8th? Since when! He is a fullback, leave him here!

Sowards purple patch that also included 2009, 2010 and half of 2011 you mean?

 

[some11]

Life's easy for Broncos fans, finals series each year, titles, rep players.

Dafuq? haven't even been in contention for three years.

Panthers will make the eight comfortably and as long as Segeyaro is fit during finals they are still a threat.

Oh please, played 1 and a bit good years, then did nothing, then was dumped...then played 2/3 of a good season last year. Actually rate John more. Him being out has hurt Penrith a bit.
