2018 SF1 Fri - Sharks 21-20 Panthers @ Allianz

[TheFrog]

Penrith found some form yesterday but the opposition didn’t throw much at them.

Pretty damn good game plan by the Panthers coaching committee. Put the ball deep without putting it out, make them bring it back all night and tire out the opposition forwards. Worked a treat. Completion rate close to 90%. They'd be mad not to do the same against these old fellows. Just don't kick it to Val. He can spoil our day.

This is as tough an opponent as any remaining in the comp, in my opinion. I'd have sooner got the Roosters but only the Broncos get to choose their finals opponents.

Sharks.

Penrith, because they have Maloney and Cronulla don't. If he makes the right decisions ScoMo is in for another bad week.

 

[Valheru]

Rightly or wrongly the winner of this will be determined to be the winner of the Maloney/Moylan swap.

I think Penrith because no Wade Graham and Maloney is just a winner.

 

[chrisD]

Sharks were comfortably the better team and we didn't look anywhere near as good as the Roosters. Maybe Holmes or Moylan or Fifita get injured or something.

 

[Frailty]

Penrith will win by 8.

It will be a 2 point margin with about 7 minutes to go. A sharks will bomb a try, then they'll give away a penalty, and then allow a soft try to seal the game.

King Moyza to carve up

King Moyza can carve up a Wooden Spoon for your lot.

Bad for both of our clubs.

I predict a penalty-a-thon!

 

[Kilkenny]

Klein FMD

Were 28% what are you guys? You shouldn't be complaining.

If Klein and Sutton are the best two refs this game has, the promised Annesley shake-up can't come quickly enough.

What area of the game do you believe the sharks were better in because I can tell you it wasn't any of the following:

Possession
Completions
Run Metres
Post Contact Metres
Line Breaks
Tackle Breaks
Kick Metres
Missed Tackles
Tackling Efficiency
Discipline
Errors

The only meaningful areas of the game they won were offloads and forced dropouts.

Anyways, This one will be very tight.

Sharks in extra time.

you forgot luck, because that played a part in most of the tries you scored

Cue...The Gus haters as in our last game day thread , death riding us early until we came back and looked comftable in winning . Then it evolved into how shit are the Warriors.

I have a vision of Gould and Griffin hugging on GF day.

Well the warriors were shit from the 20 minute mark when RTS went off.

It played a part in one try, not sure what luck you saw in the other 3. They were just well executed plays.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Panthers by a point.

 

[Saxon]

Drug cheats to go out in straight sets.

Thats right. I forgot about Sandor's 4 year ban while a Panther.

No Wade, no win. I think it will be close though.
