Completed at 97% in a grand final.

But yeah, we won't get to play pretenders again.
I'm not just referring to completions.

You probably won't get to play a team missing a third of their starters either. Still nearly made it a game if not for Klein finding a forward pass.

Your bench was junk, that's your major worry.

Roosters have $2.7m of their $10m salary cap sitting on the sideline. Have to make do with the $10.3m of talent on the field….

I'm not claiming adversity, just pointing out a fact.

Melbourne are healthy at this stage, you don't think that makes a difference?

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 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

Our best period was when the benches were on. Whyte, leniu and Wong dominated in that period.

It's just an observation.
Robbo panicked by benching Leniu, just because he had a poor 10 minutes against a rubbish Souths side in a nothing match no-one cared about.

Got his starting pack all wrong.

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

He didn't f**k that call. Spencer is the best bench forward in the world but he needs to be used the right way

Disagree.. at least in regards to leniu. Bench is best for him.

Butcher offered no intensity at starting peop and Lindsay not much better. Could do worse than start with Whyte who I thought was great.

Of the starting forwards only sitilli seemed willing to run as hard as the Panthers.

It bewilders me that so much bad blood was shed between our two clubs over Nat Butcher. The guy is pure plod.
