2021 Rnd 24 V Wests Tigers

[Black Magik]

Anyone else worried that the Dogs beat these plodders 38-0 whilst we struggled to put them away decisively just a week before?

Nah. They are like Penrith 15 years ago where they put up a good fight against teams in the top 4 (and not win) but play like crap against teams below them.

For some reason they still have a point to prove when playing Penrith. It's like Penrith stole their husband or something

We were up 30-6 with 15 to go.
Then had another try disallowed minutes later.
Then took Api off.
Put the cue in the rack.
Conceded 2 penalties, 2 errors, and 1 six again.
And the Tigers got 2 consolation tries.
Not sure how our victory wasn't decisive?

Tigers were much more committed against us than the Bulldogs game. No comparison really. And take nothing away from the Bulldogs, they played well - but with 15 to go they were up 26-0, and then played against 11-12 men for the rest of the match which is where their last 2 tries came from.

In a finals match we shut that out without leaking another point.

@Kilkenny is a great poster, despite never being right about a single subject ever

The law of averages would surely suggest I have been right on at least a handful of occasions given I am approaching 10,000 posts over this past ten years or so. Maybe my best work was left in the old PI site at least there I for the most part only locked horns with Rob Weaver.

I’ve heard about you rebels, brought the whole official Panther forum to its knees so the club had to unplug it.

Apparently it accounts for this sticky here:-

Which is good going but still doesnt explain why you have a bigger following on the lu West Tigers than I do:

Tony the Tiger mascot might be the only survivor of the review.

Actually they might do him for forgetting to bring his second tail and a spare packet of Whiskers to Qld.

“ Um no thanks Paws, I’ll cut some up fishing line”

I couldn’t open some of your attachments but can I say while I am for the most part unpopular on my own fan forum my defence to that would be I do tend to stick up for the coach, team or players regardless of who they are. I’m not sure whether your supporting me in this instance but can I say I am not a fan of personal criticisms of individual players. Poor old Momo is somewhat copping it amongst some of our supporters and I think he has done a pretty decent job in recent weeks since getting his spot back of Brent Naden, and I like Naden. It really doesn’t matter I guess.

 

[age.s]

Nah you're alright KK. Don't agree with everything you post, but that's true for everybody here.

Yeah I forgave Momo for whinging about wt when he left -after I saw his kicking game from the wing 2 weeks ago. That was high pressure quality footy, really impressive.

His talent overcame my club bias and I’ll just have to wear that and wish him well.

Fair is fair.

No one except me on wt forum wants kiks. He is a bloody unbelievable player. He’s one of the best rugby league players in the entire world.

Means diddly squat mate. The previous 25 weeks mean nothing either, our recent victories againgst the Bunnies mean nothing, Latrell being out means something but otherwise it is two sides with everything to play for and we will have to be better than we have been. We need to be at our best on Saturday night.

Haha. Good Old Rob Weaver. I must have been banned from PI at least twice.

 

[John Hamblin]

@The Silverdale Phantom enjoy the off season mate. Good performance today, the dogs were real standouts this year. I can understand how they beat you.

Tiggers are shit with a capital S. Last three years under the F man Maguire 9th, 11th and 13th. Shite team coach administration. Their only light is perhaps Tim Sheens can get them back on track. They are my early tip for the wooden spoon next year just ahead of the cowgirls.

Only twice? Come on? Rob’s heart was in the right place, always a tough gig moderating fans opinions particularly in his era when things weren’t quite so rosy. Probably even tougher now despite us apparently setting all sorts of winning records.

Judging from the date of chocolate soldier and his warning, that was post 2003.

There were fisticuffs between than Clinton guy and that big Ben bloke in the Panther gym.

And that Paul Franze guy left you to play for Harlequins because he was upset.

And Luke Priddis was abandoned or something. Didn’t he win the cc?

That settler tackle, John Lang ( who is awesome) and Adrian Morley?

The pre-smug era.

I think Paul Franze was reading PI often. Just about everyone had “not so nice” things to say about him. And some people call Moms a ball hog. F**k me, Franze was the ultimate!

I think one of the PI posters wrote a song about him that went to the tune of the classic 80s reggae song, “Pass the Dutchie”. I think the first line went, “Pass to Rooney on your left hand side…”

“the camel” was a tough nickname to endure but he was strangely reminiscent of the beloved ships of the desert. A certain likeness, a rugged handsomeness. Girls loved him!

Pretty good player too if I recall.

The girds era, that brilliant Trindall kid who was in and out of fg.

And one of the best passers of all time, Gowie. Who got drunk and flopped his lizard out in public on a few occasions. Golf course.

Ben Ross.

And the legend of the shafting of Johnny Lang who legend has it:-

When he’s contracting with the Panthers, one of his conditions is that he’s given a fair warning and notice about any moves to replace him so he can plan properly.

The Panthers agree and he delivers a premiership.

Then a few years later, the Panthers enter into secret talks with Matthew Elliot and ME gives them an ultimatum that does not allow for them to give Johnny Lang notice.

The Panthers succumb to MEs pressure tactics and they cut a deal straight away.

Then they tell Johnny Lang he’s f**ked.

And a bit like Hooks departure, Mr Lang felt understandably let down by the gross disrespect shown to him and his one major wish. The rest of the league, we thought God and co really let him down. I did anyway.

ME was coaching well at the time, but as I understand it, there was no real reason he required an answer straight away. It was some kind of befuddled fascist nonsense power play that the Panthers fell for.

Then ME he turns up and gets into an argument with Clinton at the water golf thing on his first day and recruits that spider who slit Royces throat. Adamson was it? Mmmm

John ends up at Souths. We need him now at wt!


For the kids at home that missed John Lang as a coach his Panther sides were known for absolute resilience. You could belt the crap out of them and they’d just keep getting up and coming at you. They didn’t feel pain. An ACL was a mosquito bite. Players would lose teeth and pop them back in place without blinking an eye.

A good example is that last grand final. They got belted and garrotted, smashed and beheaded until they were almost the walking dead, but they just kept getting up and fighting. That’s why they won.

Modern players are gutless cowards compared to these guys. The game was better too.

Was mostly a lurker on PI, because I was relatively green to football forums. I really didn't get all the petty squabbling that used to go on. Put me right off more than anything.

But yea, I remember RW. I used to get along with him OK because I think he sensed me as a newbie.

My brain cells are trying to organise themselves so I can remember this.

Had some ability, but we got him on the back of a knee reconstruction and he never fully recovered from it. Had one blinder in our last match of the bitterly disappointing 2005 season against the Wests Tigers, the eventual premiers, but for the most part didn't live up to expectations to say the least. Got a big offer from French rugby and was never heard of again.

With PI being a site owned by the club, and club decisions such as the recruitment of Franze being roundly criticised by fans, it is hardly surprising its days were numbered.

It was a badge of honour to get a holiday from rob.
