I don't like this Bulldogs jersey.

Ain't the raiders supposed to be @AlwaysGreen

Who dropped the god bucket on the stadium?

It’s ok, we gonna make a petition.

Could have called that a knock back but she’s a natural redhead.

 

[This Year?]

Really enjoyed the game. Nice to see some tries from both sides.

 

[mxlegend99]

Trent Toelau and Jack Cole looked better than Brad Schneider in the halves. Still far from good. But atleast they showed some form of ability as a half.

But f**k me dead the pickings are slim now. If Cleary gets injured we could be flat out making the 8.

Is this Penrith team like, theirs 4ths?

Pretty much the NSW Cup team

Lol settle down. Yeo is legit the 3rd best 7 in the comp. We are sweet

 

[chrisD]

Game only took 100 minutes and was better for it.

We have high completion and field position for the 1st 30. Edwards and Yeo does enough in that situation

ESL time for Schneider

Penrith are a better chance of winning the comp with Cleary missing than Storm would be missing Hughes and we’re not paying our #6 a million.

Yeah that's just wrong.

1. Paps
6. Munster
7. Wishart
9. Grant

Is a thousand times better than

1. Edwards
6. Cole? Talagi?
7. Schneider? Toelau?
9. Kenny

Edwards the only NRL player in that spine. is legit reserve grade stand

In theory only, it’s a better paper spine. We’d win 8-6 or something.

 

[gerg]

Raiders are back baby. Where can I get my GF tickets please?

That is ignoring that Yeo plays like a half though. That is key to us winning without Cleary and will continue to be the case

 

[Marshall_magic]

Geyer has looked out of his depth at this level.

To be fair Mark’s second grade teacher would still say the same thing.

 

[Fangs]

Penrith win the 2024 premiership without Cleary. Bit of a soft comp tbh.

Not sure in 2025 though. No Luai this time.
