2024 World Club Challenge

[Iamback]

This was a trial mate, not an NRL game . We know what Daine can do. No doubt he’ll get the start if required when the NRL.

Of course it was trial but Kenny and Edwards aren't going to discover a kicking game over the season

 

[Fangs]

I had the concern at May's lack of spark. Turuva out for a few weeks might see someone else get the spot

I backed May to take on Field in the corner. Thought he would bulldoze or palm him off easily.

I think most people did

 

[Chins get the wins]

I thought they both looked pretty strong.

I know it was a trial but Tago was awful to end last year and I thought it was just his pec but maybe not

Wo

Lol Penrith had heaps of chances to win that game apart from the ref.
They shat the bed just like they did in front of their inbred horde last year.

Would that be that horde that was at the grand final .you would not know what that feels like

If he runs straight he goes straight over him

Luckily for you Penrith aren’t in the Super League.
The superior playing style of those teams upsets their flow.

Haven’t heard of half of the guys who play in that comp and Bevan French had a non memorable career at Parra.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Perspective is they haven’t played a game since 2023 GF. No warm ups or trials to shake rust off, new combos, normal interchange and went straight into an arm wrestle contest.

2024 probably plays similar to the start of 2023, month or so to gel and any loss will be by 4 or less.

But most importantly is every single time Panthers suffer a loss like this… they win the comp.

Toot Toot!!!!

You can’t control poor decisions.
Penrith lost that game with the way they prepared and played.
They had heaps of opportunity to win.

 

[Fangs]

Winger instincts kicked in. He is a centre now.

Yet they still beat this supposedly awesome Penrith outfit.
Truth is, the NRL is perfectly set to Penriths style but the Super League is more eyes up and attacking.
pantherswould struggle in that comp.

There is slow play the balls, Not sure that suits anyone. You would need a side to train for that and give them 5-6 weeks and the NRL sides would dominate

Jane, don't feed him, he's just a total tool.

Yeah I remember now. Thanks for the reminder.

Keep sucking down that copium. News flash. Panthers play in the NRL. No one gives a f**k about Super League.

 

[The Clan]

Pretty gutted with another loss in this but what a sham of a match! Incompetent refereeing and shit outdated rules that we are not used to playing by.
Too many poor performers in our team though. I can see how we’ll miss Crichton and Leniu etc and it could be another slowish start to the NRL season after this disappointment.

I still have zero interest in the English Super League though. It doesn’t matter how many times we lose, I’d rather watch aerial ping pong or Yawnion than that shit.

But like the Guinness, you’re not bitter!

 

[murraymob]

With all the rule changes in the nrl one would like brought back .If ref unsure he can go to video ref on a try without making a decision .Then is no proof of a try it is rules no try instead of inconclusive based on the ref making a guess

From the BBC

Wigan were penned back for almost the entire second half but defended ferociously and in their only attack Jai Field's dabber kick was picked up by Wardle. He seemed to have been held short of the line and guilty of a double movement, but referee Moore gave an on-field decision to allow the try and after a lengthy video review his call was upheld.

Who is dealing in copium? Lol your lack of self awareness keeps us entertained.
Have a wonderful Sunday crying into mummies pillow

'You shouldn't have to be a 30 point better side to win. Panthers should not have been behind after halftime.

I’m not too sure what you were expecting from this game. They played exactly as I was hoping. Very few risky lines run, which is what I was most worried about.
