2017 R4 - Panthers 40-0 Knights @ Pepper

[Walt Flanigan]

That was dumb, he was well covered

 

[Frederick]

There we go, not since the 15th minute

 

[mxlegend99]

Bring Hiku on. Give Knights a chance.

 

[Tenacious Titans]

jeez Martin looks sharp.

Hopefully we find a hooker. Wallace will be our weakest link soon.

 

[mxlegend99]

Hows that for a bullshit penalty

He's doing well. The old boy just got excited

 

[Frederick]

Here we go, couple of quick penalties in garbage time to square up the ledger

In a way, we were super lucky that Segeyaro shit the bed when he did, because it got Wallace the hell out of half. Still our weakest link though.

 

[Someguy]

Moylan is frustrating me, every time they look like setting a backline movement he goes and flicks it back inside

Yeah. God if we could turn TMM into a hooker and move Moylan to 6 and Edwards to 1 we would be set for nearly a decade.

I just don't see a quality NRL hooker in our ranks. At best a few players who are serviceable for a game or two. Its definitely our weakness.

 

[betcats]

TMM looking good, we just rolled through them with ease that half.

 

[Frederick]

Score is completely unsurprising considering panthers had possession for about 30 minutes out of the 40. Really considering how tired our players were they should've piled a few more on before the break

Deadset. 60 metres minimum each set. Without our best meter eater. Mansour would be having a field day here and this open play footy would really suit Cartwright aswell

 

[GongPanther]

We look great on a dry track.

But in saying that,there is room for improvement as far as discipline with ball security is concerned before we face the Storm next week.

Cam Smith was a half in his first start with the Storm before he switched to hooker.

The role of hooker is a position in league that has changed most dramatically.

It's now taken by game organisers who have experience in the halves.

What evidence is there that TMM is a hooker in the making though? (Not criticizing, btw; I truly don't know).

I can't really make a call on what we should do regarding Edwards/TMM (because that's pretty much what it comes down to... I think we lose one of those guys regardless when contracts are up if we keep DWZ and Mansour) because I haven't seen Edwards play enough. Realistically though, if we re-sign DWZ, Edwards will be gone because Griffin has no interest in shifting Moylan.

Panthers have made it into Knights territory on every single set. From the start of the game through til half time.

Stop them from being in attacking territory at the end of sets and possession evens up.

I think the scoreline flatters Knights. Panthers have still been well below their best. So many poir decisions. Or poor execition of good decisions.

But i guess playing high speed footy like that means theres no time to think about the next play. They just play what they see and sometimes its good. Others it's infuriating

Did Mal just call Hook Peter Griffin?

I hated Wallace at half too mate but come on he's doing a job. Our side needs nothing but passing and tackling from hooker. Wait till he makes NSW and we have to deal with Rein at hooker
