Yeah it's gone under the radar that the Raiders are the first top 8 quality team the Panthers have faced for what, 6 weeks?

Perhaps people were overstating how good they are at this stage in their development.
Nope us fans who know were perfectly honest about it

Yep. The Dogs attack was about as good as Newcastle's.

No need to have a cry princess over one person's opinion. The Panthers are a young side on the way up (good on them) but they're making way too many errors for this stage of the year.
Hah.

Yeah well if you count our 8 wins of the last 9 we've beaten Brisbane at Suncorp (when they were in poor form) Titans by a point up there and a clueless Bulldogs side. We've played well in beating average or poor teams by good scores but tonight is a huge step up with this crowd and this forward pack of the Raiders owning us so far.

We've improved out of sight since mid season when I thought we'd be lucky to finish top 10 but to beat top 4 teams you need to play a lot more intensely for 80 minutes. The only thing in our favour is that 12-0 down isn't quite game over yet.

Even with 10 mins to go, 12 nil down is nothing to the Panthers. They gotta a whole half to play catch up, they just need to settle and grind. Cleary is the key Im guessing..

From the stands it looks scrappy. Wighton and hodgson playing well in the raiders spine. Panthers are making metres but just screwing up when it matters.

Like i said earlier its a sign of how inexperienced these lads are. Compare it to the machine like performance of the bronx and cows last night.
virtually ZERO wrestling last night too
