2024 R18 Fri - Brisbane 6-14 Penrith @ Suncorp

[Munky]

Yeah that’s on Edwards. I mean he made a break and all. But then he made the unforgivable mistake of passing to his teammate. Crabbing across field would have been the smart origin option.

In all seriousness he should have taken the tackle.

Penrith were very uncharacteristic in the final ten minutes with the ball.

Pushed the pass too often rather than consolidate field position and kill the clock

Pampfers have ground the Donks into the dirt tonight. Not anywhere near their best but they strangled 'em.

Broncos lost their 2nd string halfback at half time. They were never going to win

Especially passing it to Alamotti. BTW, credit to Fatty Vaughtin for tipping the Panthers.

Why no Sin bin for Walsh?
Absolutely no reason for him to push anyone.

The no punching rule has really injected some fake courage into guys like Walsh and Reed Mahoney because they know they’re untouchable. The most laughable thing in origin was Walsh squaring up to Spencer Leniu like he actually wanted that smoke when everyone knows he’d be merely an entree for Leniu

 

[Michael Matral]

Tough win tonight, Broncos brang it as well..finals intensity

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Yeah tall poppy syndrome is well alive hey?

His defence can be pretty shit but he's an actual star in attack.

Yeah, nah...tall poppy is someone great who no-one likes, unfairly. This isn't that. The criticism is valid because the guy has a metric ton of deficiencies in his game..

I say that whilst also acknowledging this was one of his most mature games. Still a bunch of clangers.

Yeah, they played tough though, I'll give 'em that. Just not enough direction in attack and a few shocking lapses in defence.

 

[Munky]

The last ten minutes reminded me of the Roosters game.

Had it won but did dumb stuff in the final ten minutes to give away possession.

Oops, meant for the Panthers forum.

 

[PennyPanthers81]

Eiso looks like if you ordered Yeo from WISH.

Brisbane couldn’t get out of their 30 in the second half and the guy singled out for criticism is the one guy trying to make something happen off the back of a hopeless forward effort, trying to play fullback on defence and halfback on attack because the rest of his team were up to f**k all. Absolute tall poppy syndrome.

Well no, tall poppy syndrome is cutting down the "tall poppies" just ebcause they're taller.

But otherwise, I'm not saying every criticism of him is that. I even said his defence is pretty shit. But the ones who just hang out for the mistakes? Yeah I'm gonna say it's exactly that. Of course it's not just Walsh, it's an NRL fan thing and maybe even a sports fan thing. Still dumb

 

[Munky]

My favourite Walsh moment in his career was when in a GF he let the opposition stroll over for three tries due to horrible defence.

And he had a halfback on the field the entire time.

It’s just infuriating seeing blokes binned for innocuous shit and then other players do exact same and nothing happens.
Walsh ran over 10 metres to push a Penrith player and start a scuffle for a nothing tackle.

I’m not sure about it being tall poppy syndrome with Walsh.
I think he’s good for the game and has some things to offer. Overall he’s a good player but I think he’s overrated for sure.
Yeah, I don’t like how we have a tall poppy syndrome in Australia.
But I do like how we call it as we see it in this country , as sports fans we just speak our minds on impulse and that’s ok

He’s the NRL’s new golden child, I’m surprised the panthers player didn’t get sin binned for daring the breath near Walsh

 

[This Year?]

Corey talking adversity.
Poetic.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Walsh is the most talented attacking player I’ve seen in years, 99% of what I hear about him is NEGATIVE…..and yet he’s ‘overrated’. Absolute bizarro world stuff.

With all due respect have you considered maybe perhaps the reason some fans loathe Walsh because he carries himself as opposed to people being envious of his success?
As mentioned above he’s always running into push and shove like some wannabe tough guy, whinging to the ref, laring up every opportunity, etc.

 

[Nealo 12]

Broncos by 6

Thank you .. you complete me

 

[Munky]

Why didn't Kevvie put his nepo baby at halfback since they had a bench hooker?
