Kane Evans could be in hot water after the cameras picked up some profanity written on his wrist while sitting on the bench for the NZ Warriors.
Andrew Moore was pretty unhappy on Grandstand Rugby League:
"I'm happy the Warriors can't activate the 18th man despite their injuries because if Kane Evans is such an imbecile that he's got that written on the tape of his hand, he should be suspended before he even takes the field."

lol what a f**king skirt that andrew moore is!

 

[Fangs]

He's currently the best number 9 in NSW.

3 big games in a row. Not stealing the spotlight like Tommy T but best on field in an understated way. Might sneak into the WC squad at this point.

Shouldn't have been subbed in Origin as well.

 

[t-ba]

Not too bad considering he's clinically blind.

You merely adopted the No-look flick pass. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't know you could look where you passed until I was already a man. By then, it was nothing to me but blinding!

 

[ColdWetPanther]

So whens the ref gonna square up the penalty count?

Even when shit goes on report no penalty for Panthers. 7 nil penalty count and plenty of tackles that should have been penalised.

This reffing is purely to make a game of it

This isn’t a Penrith thing, this is every game. MarioKart League.

 

[GongPanther]

Penalties 7 - nil.

If those pens were on behalf of poor discipline on our behalf, I can handle that provided we learn from those mistakes. If the Warriors weren't picked up for the same indiscretions, then there's a problem. But a pen count of 7-0 is a pretty unusual one.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

A good contest ruined by garbage officiating, both ways.

The injuries to the Warriors also reduced it as a spectacle. Very brave effort though by NZ. Lodge looks a good pick up, and a special shout out to Townsend; people might not rate him but given he is only there for a few weeks it was a very big effort there to stay on with only one shoulder.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Says a lot about how low Hadley's standards are when judging the best commentator he has worked with

When it was Blocker, Bozo, Chippy and Hadley the continuous call was amazing (albeit slightly worse than when Price was involved). That was 25 years ago...

 

[Exsilium]

Penalties 7 - nil.

We could have conceded more and the set restarts were out of control.

 

[GongPanther]

lol what a f**king skirt that andrew moore is!

He exudes ego. and this is the reason why he has Lewis on his broadcast. Can't have anyone on his show smarter than Moore is.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Yeah and it is a shame that he is coming into a side where his talent makes him stand out so much. Contrast that to the Roosters system and Walker and Suaalii are very well placed.

Walsh looks better than Walker and Suaali; his speed is something else!! Been a great weekend to see some of the young, speedy talent in the game; Walsh today, the Hammer and the Canberra kid yesterday. Maybe VLandyball isn’t so bad after all...

 

[The_Frog]

Congratulations Panthers fans.

Did enough to win, that's about it.

 

[Meth]

Did enough to win, that's about it.

I'd take that

5 all 6 agains according to nrl stat's...

 

[Exsilium]

5 all 6 agains according to nrl stat's...

I recall the majority we received were late in the second half.

Game seemed very much favoured to a warriors win. Either that, or they wanted to even out the lack of bench to make it a contest.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

I think we have been that team, so to not be this week is pleasing

To be fair on then that’s one thing we haven’t been doing this year, effort has been there, execution not so much

Yeah ours came in the second half during the run of tries.
I still don't believe any team can play 80 minutes and not give away a single penalty.
No team has the discipline.

 

[franklin2323]

I'd take that

Good performance by you guys. Stop/start game. Some extended breaks for injury like on Walsh in the 2nd half kept it close but still good to hang in there.

Not a great standard game but still had itS moments

Just before the Warriors 2nd try, Panthers marker gets pushed over just before the play the ball. Instead of penalizing, he says "you can't do that mate, let him up and play it again". Very next tackle, Panthers player strips the ball and is penalised. Warriors score next set.

Why is one infringement an automatic penalty, yet the other is a sometimes penalty? Both are illegal, and both negatively impacted the non-infringing side. Had the marker been pushed over defending his try line, it definitely would have been a penalty. Why does the position on the field matter? Why are teams in possession of the ball allowed to retain possession when they push over markers or play the ball off the mark? These are penalty offenses.


On top of that Lodge was put on report for something after the fact, and no penalty recorded.

So should have been a 6-2 count, which is still lopsided, and not reflective of the game. Some of the high tackle penalties are embarrassing for the game (although not isolated to this match).

Anyway, thought the Panthers were fairly ordinary for most of the match, and reckon it would have been a real contest if the Warriors had a bench. Happy to get the win, and will be happier when Luai and Cleary get back.
