Am we change the word filter to say panther instead of merkin?

these Penrith boys have earned it. No idea why refs just let them get away with the fake tough guy shirt grabbing week after week

f**k me we ballsed that up deluxe. 1st half we were on top and playing really smart football. We turned into the 2022 Knights in the 2nd half though. So many stupid mistakes.

Fair play to Penrith. Cleary’s kicking is other wordly and Yeo is the best halfback in the comp but Luai was absolute balls. He shouldn’t be near the Origin side.

You blokes were twice premiers in a row and should know about other teams in trying to rattle your cage. Scum try to get in your face, and you are not exactly going to turn the other cheek. F**k em and f**k their high and almighty bullshit that they think they have over your club.

That is why I hate golden point.
No way the Knights deserve to lose that game.
Well done to the Panthers on the win though.
Who (back in 2002) was complaining about draws in regular season games?

On top of that, it's such a shitty way to decide a game-

They could have made it 10 minutes additional time, team leading at the conclusion of 10 minutes wins, or points shared in the event of a draw

They could have made it so the winning team gets the 2 points, but the losing team gets a point for the regular time draw

They could have made it so field goals count, but a try automatically wins the game

Instead, they chose literally the worst option and (like the Cowboys logo) have stayed loyal to a rubbish idea for 20 years now...

Starting to think he won't be, unless he can snap into World Cup and 2022 finals form over the next month.

Don’t see how Freddy can pick Luai over Nicho - just having a club combination with the 7 and 13 isn’t a good enough reason to carry him.

I disagree with giving out three points in a drawn game, but agree with everything else (including the Cows logo).

I think Luai wasn’t done May favours by Cleary, Yeo and our hookers this evening; his drops were generally balls out the back that didn’t hit the mark.

Newcastle were so far upfield tonight the inside me needed to be turning it underneath a lot more (got a lot of success with that late) or short kicks behind the line.

I wasn’t specifically talking about his performance tonight - Nicho is just in better form generally.

Gotta have a good reason not to pick the reigning dally m winner in position when in form - not sure Luai is a good enough reason.

Does this also count with the form fullback?
