2017 R14 Sat - Panthers 24-20 Raiders @ Carrington (Bathurst)

[I Bleed Maroon]

Penrith are imploding

 

[TheFrog]

That penalty was a bit soft.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

This is like a replay of last years final. Penrith killing themselves going for big shots.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

For f**k's sake. Terrible, terrible discipline.

 

[Pete Cash]

It wasn't a penalty.
His arm was fully extended.

I can certainly see why people might think it should be a legal tackle but the shoulder charge rule is heaps different to what it used to be.

• The contact is forceful, and;
• The player did not use, or attempt to use, his arms (including his hands) to tackle or otherwise take hold of the opposing player.

Last week Trent Merrin was awesome this week against real fowards he has been utter crap

 

[flash]

Surprised perenara didn't go for a hatrick

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Why kick on the fourth now?

That's not just Merrin.. that's Penrith

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Cotric will be great when he learns how to use his size

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Hahaha Tamou

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Tamou you f**king idiot.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Tamou should retire.

Shameful for a bloke his size to be stripped of the ball

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Haha Tamou you dropkick

 

[flash]

Frustrating game, Canberra gets away with everything in the ruck. Penrith get penalised

 

[billypilgrimnz]

We don't deserve to win. We are a dumb, dumb team. We finally have players in the right position, but you can't cure stupid easily.

 

[skeepe]

Awful set.

 

[skeepe]

I can't honestly say that Paulo hit was all that different from the Kikau one

So by hitting him hard and knocking him to the ground before he can wrap his arm around, he gets penalised.
Ridiculous.

Papali got smashed
