It’s good to see the Panthers celebrate winning a round 5 game like they’ve won the Grand Final. I don’t blame them because they lost the only Grand Final they’ve played in.

Oh no look how they celebrate! Your team is going to celebrate their next wing a lot harder vic whenever it may be.

Disappointing performance. Attack is still sloppy and disjointed. Good to play one of the better teams to know where you’re at though. We started the last two seasons like this so not too worried.

I'm not talking about the club, I'm referring to the actual players.

If you want to waste your time disliking teddy, the Morris twins, manu, tupou, SST, rads, verrils, Angus, Liu etc. then good luck to you.

As much hate as we get we have only had a couple of players widely disliked in recent times with JWH being the obvious example. This Penrith team are next level personality dysfunction to say the least.
I was just having a joke mate. I agree these panthers players are particuarly unlikeable.

Ehhh I'm not suicidal. Losing CNK obviously hurt us but happy we kept it close for most of the game. We need to address the issue with our weak backs though.

Panthers are monsters when they get a roll on. Can't see any team challenging them until Souths in round 10 or whatever. FMD they are a dickhead team and really unlikeable though. Like a team of Camerons.

But congrats to all the Panther fans minus flog and betcats. Enjoy your run.

Basically its the way I look at it. When CNK went down and the panthers got a few good shifts in exposing Rapana at fullback and the Whitehead/Croker pairing i was expecting them to put 50 on us. Its not a great loss but its hopefully not season derailing.

Just gotta buck our ideas up a bit.

My biggest gripe again is head knock replacements.

I wouldn't be too fussed if I was Canberra. They can get a lot better and had terrible luck losing CNK.

They'll get angrier from that game and if they face off on neutral turf in a Prelim or GF then they'll be a huge shot imo.

Especially if Luai and Cleary's small intestines droop out of their arses like they did in the Prelim and GF last year.

Raiders at there best a genuine competitor to the panthers but lack of flexibility in the roster meant losing 1 player was the end of them. CNK will be a regular target for knockouts.

Good effort from the Raiders. Was always going to be tough after CNK went off. We're missing troops too but much tougher to adjust mid game.

As for Skeepe, enjoy the loss sweetheart. Hope it burns on the way out.

The dessicated remains of Greg Alexander were found behind the grandstand at the 43rd minute.

It doesnt help that stick selects a bench that only really performs in a perfect world with no unexpected injuries.
