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

[Pete Cash]

I reckon the 6 again rule is actually not so great. It’s gets called all the time and the majority of the time you can’t even work out why.

Its an easy “out” for the ref because they don’t have to give any explanation because the game doesn’t stop.

It’s good that the game is quicker but I really am starting to dislike this rule change.

I think it might be a bit of a cause of all the injuries too

I have mixed feelings on it right now

Get this... We still haven't played the Bulldogs or Broncos yet either. And get to play Cowboys again..

How good is it?

So salty... Who would think not being able to hit their lofty heights of 9th would cause so much pain

 

[franklin2323]

Humility is always the key lol...And get excited, bar injuries you guys have a serious crack at the finals

Too young of a side. To get too excited all learning process

It definitely benefits the team that “should win”, the refs know who is the favourite so as soon as that team is crying out for a penalties they just give them a 6 again and the game goes on and they don’t have to answer to anyone about it at all.

So much salt in here

 

[MilkShark]

So much salt. The 11 game win streak reads as follows

Storm
Souths
Tigers
Sharks
Manly
Cowboys
Titans
Canberra
Warriors
Sharks
WT

A mix of good an bad teams. A mix of injuries there too. Home and away

Far from being false Minor Premiers

So that’s 1 top 8 team in 9 weeks?

Piss off you Gundam loving freak.

See this is the type of "us against the world" mentality your team should be adopting. Not that ludicrous post game celebration after beating a team who won't play finals.

I honestly don't believe I have seen anything like that after a run of the mill regular season win.

The players think they have the comp won already.

After all the bullshit in the media, this win celebration was more or less aimed at them. Plus the fact that we broke the record number of straight wins at Penrith Park.

Can only play what's in front of us. We beat the teams when we had to play them.

Meh, was a penalty two tackles earlier due to a BJ special.

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Finals. You know...top 8 and all that...play-offs.

No.

Agree, but I don’t think you can know where you are guys at until you start playing full strength top 8 teams.

Up against full strength storms and roosters, I think you are going to struggle

 

[GongPanther]

No.

Yes.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

This thread peaked here.

It was all worth it.

( If Penrith lose in the semis, you know what you'll see, ya bastard.)

Benji was hitting Luai high the whole game up until then and it was Luai’s tap on a slipping BJ that got dived on and penalised in the first place. I don’t like diving but Benji’s head attacking needed stopping and that’s what it took.

I think so too. But we will be ready for that task when it comes.

But will you?

You’re not being tested

Canberra and Sharks are 2

How many teams have beaten Storm and Roosters?
