2024 R24 Thu - Penrith 22-24 Melbourne @ BlueBet

[Saxon]

Blip on the radar, no backrow, some very questionable calls and lost by 2. Long way to go yet.

Too true. How did Kenny avoid being binned for the hit on Anderson?

No idea really. I'm surprised it was graded higher than the NAS effort though. If he had been binned I'd cop it, seen players sit down for less. Anderson falling into it would be the common sense call, but we know that doesn't apply most of the time.

The obstruction on the first try was the biggest howler based on how it's usually ruled. The 3rd try was also dubious, camera angles can be deceiving though.

You guys were the better team and deserved the result. Still given some of what we dished up to lose by 2 isn't the end of the world. Based on what we saw last night I think we have more room for improvement than you do. Hopefully we meet again in the finals.

Looking like you're going to get a bad touch up week 1

I can understand your excitement, but there is nothing new about this.
2023 Rd 25 18-32 vs Eels
2022 Rd 22 0-16 vs Storm
2021 Finals Week 1 10-16 vs Souths.

Written off by all and sundry each and every time. This defeat will ensure the coach has their attention.

Must be playing Melbourne then because Penrith aren't capable of that.

Lol absolutely no one wrote them off in 2022 or 2023.

Anyways, it isn't just the one loss, it is the whole 2024 body of work. Denial is an understandable stage for you to be in, next comes acceptance.
