2016 R25 - Titans 14-15 Panthers @ Cbus Super Stadium

[umina panther]

Lol bloody hell. You and Umina need to move on with your lives.

Nah

 

[Vic Mackey]

One question. Can Penrith beat the Broncos?

I think it's unlikely they'll play them again unless they meet in the grand final

Dogs lose to Souths (Fri) and Penrith win V Manly (Sun night) the Panthers will be able to have a home final V Dogs.

If the Dogs do a number on Souths,the Panthers could experiment with other players such as starting the bench players.

I'm not sure that if you name a squad on Monday,whether you have to strictly stick by it come game day.

So Ryan James has broken Campbell Gillards back. Surprise, surprise the NRLs biggest thug has ended another players season.

If the the NRL had done its job and rubbed him out for a few weeks after breaking Tedesco jaw, then RCG's season wouldn't be over.

Of course they can. Whether or not they will is another question entirely.

This is the trouble, especially with players who are, shall we say, more brawn than brains. They get a decision like the James one, they think they have a green light.

Someone at the Titans probably should have had a chat and told him how the judiciary works. They give benefit of the doubt once, but your head bobs up again they kick it hard. Ask Kade Snowden.

What did he do?

 

[Vic Mackey]

What did he do?

Two Titans defenders were holding him up stationary then James came in and dog shotted him straight in the back.

 

[GongPanther]

Thank you Penrith for making tomorrow's game much more anticipating

Great bunch of lads

Get a win up...and you live for another week...

Any impartial person would say there was nothing in this tackle. James does little more than lean on Gillard who has been extraordinarily unlucky.

It seems this tactic is deemed a "good tackle". There was an instance earlier in the season where a Dragons player (I think) drove into the back of a player being held (Carter I recall) and the commentary stated what a good hard tackle it was. I think it's a bit cowardly to blindside a player like this.

I checked - it was Marketo on Carter.

It makes absolutely no difference which team is 6 and which is 7 if the Panthers play the Dogs. It will be played at ANZ either way, provided that ground is available. The Panthers if they are the away team will even be able to wear their black strip unless the Dogs decide to wear the predominantly blue.

why wouldnt we play at allianz?

 

[TheFrog]

why wouldnt we play at allianz?

Because ANZ is closer to Penrith? I think the NRL, not the home club, decides on the venue in any case.

Last time we played the Dogs in a final (2014) it was our home game and it was at ANZ. The same in 2004.

i guess i just thought allianz is smaller which would be better for atmosphere and its not the dogs home ground either

The referee yelled held then James came charging in to belt RCG. His charge was borderline cannonball.
I doubt he gets charged but he shouldn't have played anyway for what he did to Tedesco.

 

[GongPanther]

Wrong thread...

 

[murraymob]

Did you not watch his work at first and second receiver? Or see his dropped bomb with no pressure? Luckily ruled back despite being a knock on.

Every game he stars in its never his fullback play that stands out.

did you not see we won the game/Just once instead of crying after every game sit back and enjoy the fact we won and are semi final bound

 

[ed-grimley]

Hayne may not get to play finals football - not what the NRL wanted.
