2017 R5 Sat - Storm 28-6 Panthers @ AAMI

[GongPanther]

It is what it is,and the score is there for all to see.If Penrith had won with question marks around their tries,they themselves would have taken the win.

 

[skeepe]

What a joke. Clearly lost it. The ball spun as he hit the ground.

Nothing clear about it one way or the other.

Based on live decision of try, it had to be a try.

 

[Life's Good]

Penrith have believed the hype. Melbourne just believe in tackling.

 

[Hutty1986]

Moylan brushed his head with a few fingers there. At least he is stepping it up in the physicality stakes

How can it be a double movement if there's no second movement?

For mine, as he lost it under his body he regained it and brought his hands back up.
Knock on was the first discretion anyway and the dopes couldn't even get that right.

 

[Clifferd]

Well that's what you call the score making a total mockery of what happened on the field.

7 linebreaks to Penrith 1. Fair indication scoreline imo, unlucky to not be 50

 

[eagles4eva]

Storm looking strong... gonna be tough to beat

 

[Red Bear]

Melbourne are still so good.

Clearly knocked on though. The ball rotates as it hits the ground because he lost control

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Yes you do. Awful attack.

you're an idiot if you think that. penrith tried everything they could.

 

[The_Shield]

That's definitely a try. Always had a hand on it. Momentum gets him over the line. With the refs call there is no way it could of been overturned. Great win from the Storm. Don't know what it is about the panthers but they just can't beat us

 

[skeepe]

Disagree. The score line exactly reflects the game.

 

[Life's Good]

Brandy must be burning

 

[Tommy Smith]

any side with good defence basically beats us, this is why we're not a threat at this stage

Already 2 losses by 20+ in '17. Not good enough!

Very early days.

After 3 rnds of 2015 everyone had pencilled in a Roosters Rabbits GF and the Cowboys were 0-3.

And early last year everyone pencilled in a Cowboys-Broncos repeat GF and the Sharks started fairly slow.

And we had a fairly slow start in 2013.

Point is the Premiers or Grand Finalists quite often come out of the blocks slow and the teams that look certainties don't end up anywhere near the GF.

Penrith will definitely be there or thereabouts. Still 2nd faves in my book behind the Storm juggernaught.

If skeepes against ya on a ref decision, you're on the right track.

 

[skeepe]

They didn't have anything in attack.

The only game the Panthers have shown any semblance of an attacking game is when they smashed the Tigers and Knights. Other than that, they've got nothing. Flat track bullies at this stage.

 

[umina panther]

Melbourne a class above. We'll make the 8 easy but without a firing Carty we won't break their line enough to win

 

[pantherz9103]

We've again been comfortably beaten in Melbourne even with so much good field position. So what's improved from previous seasons? last season we actually lost only 24-6 and this year 28-6. The scoreline might not be everything but basically our attack is only effective against poor opposition. We can't score against strong goal line defence.

They scored 6 points so clearly they had something in attack. Moses Leota and Martin also just dropped the ball over the line. So if they ground that it ends 28-18.
