2020 R16 Sat - Panthers 30-6 Wests Tigers @ Panthers

[GongPanther]

Did you guys know Penrith are top of the table??

Thats why one has to live in the moment and enjoy the spoils at hand. Of course the envious others will and can only call it smugness, because when your team is winning, that is all they have to try to cut down the tall poppy.

Nahhhhh... That doesn't happen on here ever.

smug - Contentedly confident in one's ability or knowledge. I can live with that tag.

Unwritten law that one can enjoy themselves, but to handle it with grace, decorum, and within a civil manner.

Anything outside of that, and you're tarred, feathered and hung upside down in front of the villiagers.

 

[GongPanther]

Nahhhhh... That doesn't happen on here ever.

Can you ever imagine a rival fan at a Liverpool game stand in front of the Kop and shouting "oi...you're sounding a bit smug there matey!". lol!

 

[GongPanther]

take out koro and kikau and the panthers side looks pretty damn ordinary. Expect Cleary to shit the bed in attack again and the panthers to look clueless without koro leading them.

Wishful thinking on your part there sj. Players coming in are part of the squad that have been backing up periodically throughout this campaign. When we played the Titans, we had seven changes, yet our replacements did an excellent job.

I could BUT I fully expect us to shit the bed this year

 

[franklin2323]

Some of us... well, 2-3 anyway. The rest of us are merely waiting for the inevitable capitulation and humiliation our team are extremely capable of.

The ones that are being overly confident are either just weird, or are not used to this level of competence from the Panthers.

Anyway, I digress. I am more than a little worried about the impact of not having Api running rampant or Kikau drawing defenders with or without the ball. Hopefully the staff have prepared for the differences.

I have a feeling Grant is going to have a blinder for the Tigers. There is literally no reason to say this, just a feeling in me waters.

There is that concern but on the flip side have our Full strength backline for the 1st time this year and the pack that has been epic. So it is strange having key guys out on not being a walk up lost

 

[franklin2323]

Panthers fans are just riding a wave which could come crashing down any week. Given how fast things can change im happy to enjoy it while it lasts and take my licks when it comes crashing down.

Second that. I expect we go out of the finals before the PF just enjoying the ride while it is still going

 

[franklin2323]

Why do the panthers game day threads always end up being 10 pages long even before the game has started??? Chirpy little fellas arent yas...

There is a few that love stirring the pot and banter flows on

 

[Blues Riff]

Of course it can't last. We've made the top 8, probably top 4. This in itself is reason to be optimistic.Those calling the Penrith fans smug wish they had something to be smug about.

Tis the freedom of expression.

This is true. I'd say Top 4 is locked in for us so that is a good point

Same here. Enjoy being in the moment.

If we play either Storm or Easts in the PF if we get that far, they will be enormous hurdles to overcome as far as big game experience is concerned. And IF we did beat one of them to make the GF, it will be said that we played our GF one week too early.

Huge hurdles to overcome at season's end. Firstly, get the minor premiership. At least our club will be on that trophy for this year with a couple more wins.

What if God was one Of us

If Madge had a team
What would it look like
Would we all still believe
And go to Leichhardt
Would we sign young Harry
And buy Cam Smith and
Would would we trade mbee
And packer for A.j

What if Madge was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Now he’s climbed aboard the bus
Trying to make the finals
Getting V’landys on the phone
Lots of players to be boned.

Fire up Tigers, f**k the Panthers and everything they stand for ( except for a few leave passes to Edwards and a couple here on Lu).


We’ve missed you ivan;

It could happen, but not today and not against Wests Tigers. The preliminary final against Roosters/Storm/Raiders will be the danger.

This club doesn't often have stellar years. People are not used to it and have trouble dealing with it.

If I were part of the brains trust I'd be getting Craig Gower/John Lang in around finals time to talk about how the 2003 side handed the exact same situation.

You’ve been predicting us losing every week since we flogged ya

4000 people is the limit crowd wise. So I don't see us getting a home final. That too me evens up the week 1 semi contest. From that who knows

For the remaining games this year we drop maybe 1 game. I think finish 1st or 2nd. I just don't know if we can put a full 80 mins together it takes to beat the other top 4 sides

Fair fight a la panthers 2020.
