I could understand the reluctance to kick into the in goal due to them being so short, thus increasing the risk of a 7 tackles re-start for Wigan. I was very surprised at how rarely the Panthers bombed the Wigan back 3. First time they did it with a real good kick-chase, they scored. I'm amazed how rarely they used it.

That has been a bug bear for mine for a while. Those bombs broke Waqa Blake and now they never come out.

Surely they are better then having Fish get tackled on the last

If we want to take the WCC seriously we need a warm up game, Get some match fitness and get rid of the rust.

Agree but should be played in late October in non World Cup years and at various venues in rotation ie North England, Sydney, New Zealand, Brisbane or say London. Like Super Bowl. Referee should not be a local but touchies, video refs can be.

 

[Chins get the wins]

They should just get rid of the WCC

 

[MugaB]

Bad taste in the mouth is completely accurate.
Panthers were not playing the same game as Wigan or the ref.
I would love for the WCC to be a something both comps really strive for but it never gets there, and yep I’m am also writing it off as a meaningless trial because it wasn’t governed by the proper rules.

Or proper referee, fancy getting one that was born in wigan ffs

Fancy following a team who haven't won a premiership since the late 80s and then comment about other teams representing the NRL ffs, howbout stop choking then win something/someone fu-kn somewhere somehow then start throwing barbs, instead of the vast amount of spoons

Go home Rhyno..you're drunk..win a comp sometime after 1986 and talk to us..

 

[Caged Panther]

Disappointing loss.

Really though, in 20 years' time what are you more likely to remember? The day the Panthers won their first World Club Challenge? Or the day they won their 3rd consecutive premiership?

When you think of it in that context it's very clear it's not that important of a game.

Going back chronological. I can remember the last 40 NRL premiers off the top of my head.

I know who one the last two WWC.I can't recall anymore after that!

Pop the hateful shit on ignore. Like the Nark, he isn't even funny any more.

Good trolls are great fun but this prick has nothing of value

 

[Black Diamond]

But like the Guinness, you’re not bitter!

No not bitter, we will just claim a "moral victory"

 

[Luke Bowden]

Nil major injuries was the goal.

You do realise they couldn't be in UK and US at same time? Idiot.

As Ivan says better to be there and lost than not be there at all. Oh...just to explain that, you have to actually win a Premiership to do that. Do you need me to explain what a Premiership is as well?

 

[ColdWetPanther]

What did you expect from him first game back from a knee reconstruction?

He looked strong, fast and willing to take the ball hard into contact.
All the things that you worry about when players return from an ACL.

His edge looked clunky for sure, but have Jack Cole there didn’t help.

Personally I think he ticked allot of boxes.

First thing that struck me when the z panthers came out to warm up was what a physical specimen May is.

 

[Old and Disgruntled]

Nil major injuries was the goal.

Bonus, considering the sub standard playing surface.
