2025 R17 Thu - Penrith 8-6 Canterbury @ CommBank

[Bazal]

Is it just me or was the game kind of plod ?
Attack was shit from both teams, defence was ok

They play like that in finals and both teams will lose ?

People see intensity these days and fawn because he game is so momentum driven under the new rules, and momentum see saws so much during most games. It was high intensity solid defense plod.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Would prefer them to Bulldogs or Broncos tbh.

Fake tough guys or silver spoon tosspots?

Nah

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

Hahah Penrith are chiming in nicely for a 5 peat

the commentary team were gagging for a Galvin clutch play at the end there

 

[Generalzod]

I really felt entertained tonight great game…

 

[ouwet]

So Galvin only works against bottom of the ladder teams like Eels? Who’d of thought??

haha suck shit Bulldogs you did this to yourself

Don't understand why you think we are cut?

It was a great game of RL...

Best Penrith have played all year easily and they only scored and won from a charge down, yes they found a way to win (well done) but I'm more confident after that game about the season then before!

Also losing a player 1st tackle didn't help.
Good stuff Penrith

Know this probably comes across as a salty tigers fan, but really don’t understand the dogs use of Galvin. Kinda seems like they have him so feel like they have to play him. Felt like they lost a lot when sexton went to 7. Sure it worked against eels and souths, but didn’t look great against a decent team.

 

[isaiah]

Lots of people think the dogs could lose three in a row now

It was plod but the last 3 mins made it exciting.

Should have subbed out Burton.

Still yet to see anything from him that shows he is a playmaker.

Or Tigers

 

[Panther Mike]

Great defence and patience and a genius play by Nathan jagged us the win against the much fancied Dogs! Still plenty to improve on for the Panthers of '25 but we've improved out of sight compared to a month ago.

 

[ouwet]

I thought the dogs were mostly non threatening with the ball, panthers were just panthers, defended them easily.

Either team tonight would've smacked your mob easily. Sit down and enjoy the Minor premiership from the world's best draw and going out in straight sets.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Dud game, two teams proving they’re aren’t a threat this season.

It was a good contest between 2 very good defensive sides. Attack in good ball was pretty poor though.
There’s been plenty of better games this year though.

Belmore will be pumping tonight….

I don’t think either are that great, but who’s better? The broncos are 5th FFS

It’s just a horrible standard comp. This year premiers will lijely have finished 6th in 2021.

Easily the best quality game this season so far (NRL or Origin). No other team wins tonight against either club.

Scoring 38 and letting in 28 is better quality? Lol

I’m not a Tigers fan but I think you’re right. I still think it’s strange they signed him without a plan about how they’re going to use him. There’s a very small amount of players you buy no matter what and find a spot for them regardless, but Galvins not one of them, at least not yet.
