That offload was simultaneous. booo!!!!

 

[t-ba]

Pretty sure advantage had been played there lol.

Not that I'd have an issue with a 'free shot' rule after an error.

Oztag king Ponga getting shown up again. Poor bloke still upset after his qld 3-0 prediction went down the toilet!

 

[Apey]

Why didn’t Penrith play like this last week and the week before that?

Because you don't get to play the Knights each week?

Titans would have beaten us today.

 

[shear_joy9]

panthers making breaks with ease and whare still looks hopeless with the ball

 

[skeepe]

Lol. He ran 30 metres. If that’s the new advantage interpretation, count me out.

I was teasing, but you should stay out of their rubbish bin imo

This match kind of sums up this regular season.

Kind of shit.

 

[skeepe]

Connor Watson really is proof that good systems can make shit players look good

I'm no head doctor or nuthin' but my diagnosis on Pearce is he is definitely bi-polar

 

[perverse]

The theory went that we need to get players from successful clubs that know what it's like to train and play in successful systems. That's how you end up with a team full of Guerras and Glasbys.

 

[tumbidragon]

Gee it's frustrating having Kikau in SC. Panthers run heavy on the left side attack and he's the only merkin Newy can tackle... Get farked haha!

The decade began with such promise for the Knights- finalists in 2011, the Tinkler buyout in 2012. And it's ended like this.

That squad should be challenging Canberra and Manly for the positions they're in. The club needs to go back its' roots and instil in the players the same values that were ingrained within the early teams. Once upon a time, a Knights team playing like this wouldn't have been in the mood for any kind of Mad Monday celebrations, because they'd understand they'd let their fans down as well as the town. I can't shake the feeling that in a few minutes it'll be smiles and slaps on the back with the Penrith players and then talk about where they're going to get on it tonight.

The 2010's were truly a decade lost for the Knights, and if the club doesn't rectify it they might not be able to take the home support for granted much longer...

 

[GongPanther]

As much as i’ve enjoyed seeing Cleary carve up today I wonder where it’s been all year??

First time we’ve hit 50 since 2013 and it happens in this year of all years haha.

Happy for the great win, infuriated that they now decide to put it together.

 

[Canard]

There goes the Knights premiership aspirations.

 

[nick87]

Wooooof. What a flogging. Ah well, it happens. Im sure the knights will bounce back strongly next we...
never mind

 

[the seagull]

The only positive from this game from the knights is that it demonstrates how much work in defence is required. The issue from the panthers is that when the pressure was off they played the best of the season. One thing both teams have in common is mentally weak.

MATCH REPORT - Panthers 54 Knights 10:

Cleary runs rampant over pitiful Knights

Penrith Panthers v Newcastle Knights

Penrith have ended their disappointing campaign in the best way possible, running up a cricket score against the hapless Newcastle Knights to finish 54-10 winners in the last NRL game of the 2019 regular season.

The first 25 minutes saw both sides playing very well in defence, but with the ball in hand they were sloppy and ill-disciplined.
