2019 R7 Fri - Panthers 18-22 Rabbitohs @ Panthers

[DaveMc]

Kikau, Blake and Mansour running at Reynolds and Gagai and all they could come up with is one late try on that side. That plus Cleary tackling like Sandow doesn't help.

His chip to finish the game actually reminded me of Sandow.

The refs weren’t great and Penrith didn’t get the rub of the green but Penrith had enough ball and field position to win 10 games. With the Origin winning halves no less, Penriths attack is Kikau or bust. Souths were barely in Penriths 20m bjtwhen they were the easily scored it’s as simple as that.

At least Sandow had a bit of creativity.

 

[Mr Spock!]

I thought the ref was as awful as other Panthers fans here. Any poster here is kidding themselves if they think they wouldn't be shitty about their team losing like that.

But I also thought that Souths defended exceptionally well, took their chances and deserve credit for that. For our part we almost looked like an actual footy team and came pretty close despite the rub of the green going well against us. That's footy I suppose.

LOL the rub of the green went with penrith.

It wasn't the refs that made maloney play the ball square, ol mate go for a double movement or mansour sleep on the wing.

 

[skeepe]

The Klein factor won the game for Souths. Just a few points:

Allow me to respond, because this is too much fun.


Why didn’t they look at the second try like they normally do in those circumstances?
It was a pass, and the video ref can’t rule on those. Learn the rules.

How can you give a double movement penalty when the ball doesn’t get to the line?
The ball did get to the line. I suggest making an appointment with your nearest optometrist, post haste.

Why wasn’t a Souths player in the bin at ht?
Because the rules don’t currently provide for it. I agree they probably should be able to use it in that situation, but as it stands they can’t. Correct decision, learn the rules.

How can a touch judge not see so many forward passes, but says DWZ knocks on?
Knock ons and forward passes are different things.

How did Sam Burgess get away with his dive when the same thing happens many times in a game?
Referees are permitted to take time to come up with the correct decision. It was a crusher tackle, therefore the penalty was correct. Crusher tackles have been illegal for some time now. Learn the rules.

When was the last penalty given for a crooked play the ball?
Now you’re complaining about them getting something right? He was facing the sideline mate. Learn the rules.

How can players get called offside, still make the tackle and Klein says play on?
I don’t recall the exact incident, but once the ball carrier has run 10 metres, all previously offside players are now permitted to get involved. Learn the rules.

How do Souths get away with continually slowing the play the balls whenever defending their line, even though their hypocritical coach winges when it happens to them?

Probably the same way Penrith got away with the same thing. Neither side was worse than the other when it came to slowing down the play the ball.

This is only a few of the points that came up in tonight’s game.

Well when you come up with one that is actually valid and not just a misconception caused by you not knowing the rules, do let us know.

It appears Klein goes in with a preconception about who should win and referees accordingly.

Maybe, but that’s not what happened here.

He cost Penrith the match!

No, your halves did.

It’s just funny that the only penalty for hands in the ruck goes to Souths, incorrect play the ball goes to Souths, no video checks of dubious Souths try, double movement call when the ball doesn’t reach the line Souths way, Souths captain who takes a dive and gets a relieving penalty, Souths players called offside but not penalised.
Sure Penrith got the rub of the green!

 

[Tommy Smith]

If you have 60 odd tackles in the oppositions 20m zone and don't win then you really can't be blaming the refs.

Again, Penrith's attack has for a few years now been absolutely appalling and that is why they lost.

Cleary is currently an absolute dud. I can't believe I'm saying this but Moses hands down deserves the Blues no.7 jersey over him. Or Reynolds deserves another crack.

Hello Skeepe, we can go back and forwards all day on these. You have you’re coloured point of view and I have mine. We may be both right.
But there is no way that anybody could claim that Klein refereed that game evenly last night. For every decision you may justify I could come up with a situation where the same thing wasn’t called.
All everybody wants is an even handed, consistent refereeing performance. That is not what we got last night.

My view is not coloured. I wanted Souths to lose.

Klein refereed that game straight down the line though. There was no bias, just bad attack.

Lol, Skeepe hates Souths. If he’s defending us against you then you know you have issues.

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

Fwiw Penriths second try came off the back of an absolutely blatant knock on that was missed.

lol you literally can’t both be right

 

[forby]

Depends entirely how you look at it. I think Klein was bad, some think he was good. We agree to disagree.
There is obviously something about Penrith Klein doesn’t like, while else is his record with Penrith so one sided?

 

[TheFrog]

It was a crusher tackle

Sorry mate, you are full of shit, we'll see what the MRC have to say.

Edit: Not charged, not a crusher. Burgess milked it as usual.

 

[JB04]

Refs were shocking - should have been an 8 point try to the Rabbitohs

Surprised they didn't.

Everything else went their way!

What does a charge have to do with whether it was a penalty or not?

Clutching at straws. It was a soft penalty but not a shocking one. Simple.

 

[Liddell]

Katoa was charged though, so it should’ve been an 8 point try.

Unless the MRC are out to get Penrith too.

Next week’s game is in Wagga Wagga.

Thanks Skeepe.
