Considering the situation I was pleased with the likes of Jenkins, Talagi and even Cole. I honestly expected a 30 point belting at least with the way we started and after Cleary went off. I was less than impressed with a few of the senior guys. They need to wake the hell up and start helping us to climb the ladder. If we give our all and play to our potential and we don't do so well this year then I'll cop it but I won't cop dumb play and leaking 30 points per game.

Jenkins was trash, he basically gave them the game. Not his fault he’s not a fullback I suppose but three of their five tries came through basic shit kicks because we didn’t have a real fb.

The Matty Johns Show laughing at Meaney’s broken jaw. Stay classy.
Matty Johns is a complete shitweasle. He's like that kid at school who only played in the footy team because his brother was a star, and used to get off on bullying the crippled (differently able?) kid who couldn't fight back. Now he gets paid a million a year to do it on telly with two ex footballers who are barely eloquent enough to order coffee.

Oddly specific or ….. personal?

Bit like the Storm crowd booing an injured Cleary walking off concussed? That was pretty f**king low class.

5 tries a piece. No Cleary and not able to get into any rhythm. Many positives to take from it.

You have to go back to Ivan's 1st year back to see us concede 30 in back to back games.

We are averaging more points in attack than any year we won the comp, So that side is fine.

The rest of the game is where the issues lie

Penrith have conceded

24

38

30

Didn’t realize Jarome held their defence together so much
You’re joking. But Cole has been deadset f**king shit. Talagi looked better than him defensively and he is a known poor defender recovering from shoulder surgery.

Cole missed a 100metre sideline twice ffs aswell. Luai is a huge loss when his replacement makes Talagi look like a good defender and kicker

Weren't booing the injury, were booing the fact he jumped through and took out our halfback. EVERY club's fans would have done the same.
Add to that that Gee came up with a bullshit penalty against Melbourne.

The fact that the stupid merkin knocked himself out was just a bonus.
