Hmmmm maybe it's more our bench being better than our starters then.

Whyte was a monster. 14 runs, 140m , 32 tackles, 34 minutes...that's elite shit. And he didn't miss a tackle, JFC

Momentum is big. At one stage you had 80% of the ball against the Panthers bench, which is why Smith had to make 53 tackles.

He will be widdle lamb Twent tonight and heap praise on the Panthers.

What else could he possibly say? The dude just got dunked on for 80 minutes.

He clearly needs better cattle but he’s not going to say that after getting housed like that. Maybe later.

Since Souths defeated Penrith in week 1 of the 2021 finals, they've won 10 finals matches in a row.

This is how many points they've conceded in those matches:

6, 6, 12, 8, 12, 12, 6, 4, 24, 10

Ridiculous. I hope you Panthers fans have a proper grasp of how good you've got it.

You're experiencing something that happens once every 30-40 years.

I doubt my kids sees a team this good ever again

Wow no karening by Robbo. I'm actually impressed.
Why would he?

We can bitch and moan about the no try forward pass and the no call on the trip on teddy but at the end of the day we allowed 4 tries in 15 minutes. When you do that you have no one to blame but yourselves. Outside of that 15 minutes when we mostly went set for set it was 10-8.

I mean...was it though? Schneider is a waste of space, for sure. Eisenhuth played 16 mins. The other two made 180m at 10m a run and f**ken 85 tackles with 2 misses between them...I reckon that's probs better than junk, and also why Eisenhuth was barely needed.

f**ken Lindsey Smith made 53 tackles with 1 miss in 47 mins wtf
Another way of putting is that despite lapping the Roosters, there's still room for improvement. He just couldn't quite phrase it like that for some reason.

There's no room for improvement. That first half is their ceiling.

Pretty high ceiling though. Robbo couldn't get that high with the ladder off a fire truck.
Absolutely

I just doubt they will reach that ceiling again. Halves of football like that don't come along very often.

Reminds me of 2019 where we did a very similar thing to Souths in week 1. 24-0 in quick time and ended 30-6 or something like that. In hindsight we peaked and it was an absolute battle the final 2 games.
