2020 QF1 (1 v 4) - Panthers 29-28 Roosters @ Panthers

[GongPanther]

I hope luai learned a lesson tonight because he really poked the bear there, all 3 tries after that the roosters players gave it to him and he was absolutely steam rolled by Crighton.

Exactly. A brainless idiot who has to check his temper at the door, or he will be on the way out. Burton is waiting...waiting for his chance.

So what is Uncle Nick going to strangle? The cat?

Choke the Chicken.

 

[Pantherjim.]

We still have some dumb shit in our game. Edwards putting the player back into the in-goal area. Kiks with his lifting tackle, Naden you can say no more...except dumb as dogshit. To'o needs to learn not go be erratic when going for a high kick...attack and catch the bloody thing with both arms.

Bit of work to do before we face our next opponent.

Not to mention Kikau lifting above the horizontal in a tackle, costing us 4 points and his much needed potency in the next final.

The best part in this game was Robbo in the box "get up you soft c**k", when Mansour was rolling around

I thought he was going to blow Mansour a kiss.

Choke the Chicken.

Rather not see that. Do that behind closed doors please.

 

[GongPanther]

Maybe for Roosters fans? I’m watching “Blown Away” on 9 HD

I'm taping it for laters. Lloyd Bridges ( as was Leslie Nielson) is funny as f**k, even in a serious role.

Referring to uncle nick. Read the thread...Fred.

 

[Exsilium]

Great game of football.

Could have gone either way.

Here’s hoping we can all enjoy Souths being knocked out

 

[Reflector]

Roosters gave Penrith a hell of a fright but tonight Penrith really showed the kind of mental fortitude they've got as a side, even though as others have pointed out they still have a couple of players who had brain snaps that may be costly in future. Getting that week off is a big boost for them provided they manage it well and don't get on the OAK's too much.

Easts are a quality side with the muscle memory to go all the way still, but I'm not sure about them making the GF again. Tonight was a taxing game that took a lot out of them, backing up again in a weeks' time against (probably) a Raiders side out for revenge is going to be a difficult task even on home turf.

Irish Republican Sympathies aside, So many elite actors in this flick; Lloyd Bridges, Jeff Bridges Tommy Lee Jones, Forrest Whitaker, Cuba Gooding Jnr. Etc...

He has a rather purple complexion

it is the ruddy complexion and swollen nose of an alcoholic. No doubt he hits the bottle hard. Coaching is a pretty stressful job so he is probably self medicating with booze.

5 tries all look bad but very few line breaks, We missed 26 tackles they missed 18 was just a few poor attempts made it look worse

Couple of tries from both sides were a bit arsey too. Hard to defend against arse sometimes.

Exactly. I am not concerned the score didn't tell the full story

Storm are looking for a coach

Is that counting when Souths scabbed on the tigers... truly

That was on last week as well...

I thought the goal line defence from both sides was ordinary.

Seemed when either team got a chance a try was inevitable.

Every time a team gave away a relieving penalty the other side scored. The first four tries at least were off the back of penalties.

In terms of fatigue it was pretty brutal out there, both teams teams looked exhausted by the 70th minute. There weren’t many stoppages and both teams completed well and spent large periods just hanging on before momentum swings. The roosters missing a few and after a few big years just seem to running out of gas while still being good enough to win it. Had they won and got the week off I would just about back them to go on with it but now I just can’t see them getting through the next two weeks.
