2017 R25 Sun - Panthers 14-16 Dragons @ Pepper

[Apey]

Have Penrith beaten anyone of note all year?

Well they beat the team coming 2nd according to TheFrog. The team was coming 2nd only in Round 2, but still.

It counts damn it!

 

[GongPanther]

Are you telling me you didn't take great delight last week ragging on a Moylan mistake?

And here you are,as usual,waiting for a Panthers loss to sink the slipper in.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Finishing 6th or 7th will be the hardest road to the GF.

They play each other first.

The winner then plays Brisbane in Brisbane or Roosters in Sydney.

If they win that they play Melbourne in Melbourne.

Good Luck with that finals draw!

Once again big thanks to the Dragons for putting the Sharks in the box seat to finish 5th.

We can't have the 8 settled till next week. The writers for the NRL want everyone hyped for next weeks episode.

Hey if we beat the broncos by 40 or so and dragons and manly win we go to fifth

Yes and we'd miss out. There are a few options depending on results. It's heart attack week next week.

Cheering for the Broncos again next week to make Saturday easier on me, this is what this race for the finals has forced me to do

 

[Pedge1971]

Well done Dragons. That was as gutsy as it gets. Well done senior playing group for putting standards on that bogan dickhead as well.

Overall very impressive and I did not think u guys could do it.

 

[SBD82]

Congrats on a good game in awful conditions today panthers.

I honestly think if situations were reversed the result would have been too. We were playing for our season, and I think that was the difference in the end.

Really? I thought was was putting the slipper in on you... that doesn't hinge on our results at all, as you know

 

[JamesRustle]

You know what thought did? It got up and pissed off.

Good luck to the Dragons.They played to win with grit and purpose.On the other hand,we didn't score in the 2nd half because of our ineptness and brain-dead mistakes.

Brisbane win v Cows away,we make the 8.Then the Dragons hope we beat Manly,then they have to beat the Dogs to get I think 6th because of their superior for/against.

It's going to be quite a round next weekend.

Dragons don't care about any result except a panthers/manly draw screws us.

The F/A issue in the Cows/Bronx, Pennies/Manly will be awesome in here.

Nathan wasn't off, thats just his level at this point. He's not a match winner yet

He's one hell of a player though. His forwards didn't give him much to work with today, There are much better days ahead for club in particular with Cleary and Moylan there. Losing your fullback today wouldn't have made it easier either.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Dragons lose to their bogey team the Bulldogs next week. They have a terrible record against them and the Dogs could well lift. We lost to them because they're a bogey team for us, just like Souffs. For some reason we never seem to be able to play our best footy against these clubs. People talk about us not beating the top teams but if we miss the 8 it will be our losses against these kinds of teams that is to blame.

As for the thinking that it wouldn't matter if we make the 8 or not if we just get pumped week 1 anyway, I strongly disagree.
Griffin realistically won't be sacked whether we make the 8 or come 9th, Gould will be full of praise for his blooding youngsters and the mid season revival... so we may as well make the 8 even if we just get pumped week 1. I'm sick of following a club that finishes 9th to 12th in more seasons than not, they better get 8th minimum

I think the Panthers have done wonderful to get into the position they have given the start of the season. Everyone wrote them off after their early string of losses and now look at where they are. If the start wasn't so slow they could very well be in the top 4.

Our situation was the opposite and yet we will likely miss the finals after being 1st for a 3rd of the season lol.

I was saying the same thing to the Tigers on Friday.

 

[footy75]

Penrith just have to beat Dragons at home to play finals and even a possible top 4 chance...

what do they do?? they fkn lose and nowcould miss the finals all together...

fk me... u poor fkn supporters.

 

[TheFrog]

That's a silver lining

Schadenfreude isn't all that uncommon on forums like this. When its from opposition supporters you make a note of it, and make sure you give as good as you get when the time comes, which it always does.

It takes a special kind of fu(ked up individual to engage in it when their own team loses, though.

Sometimes what people say on forums comes back to haunt them.
Fans are often their own club's worst enemy.

 

[Willie Ray]

I wonder if players from rival clubs ever get into arguments over who has the best fans.
