Parra won the second half ?

Most points Penrith have let in all year

More than double their against tally
Was it 30-4 at HT? Because it was 48-20 FT. I might be wrong but that’s 18-16 second half. After the bullshit sin bin and resting God for the best part of the 2nd half. But anyway, carry on.

Do we think it's plugs or like, a super high end hair hat? Cos he obviously bald.

Supposed saviour but nothing has changed. His signings mostly offer nothing too.

I know you aren't a Ryles fan but its the wrong time to go after him.

They were overmatched tonight. No one has gone with Penrith in 2026.

Overmatched to the tune of 50 odd for the second time in 4 weeks.

It's not that I'm a fan or not a fan. It's just a problem. It's also a problem that the same defensive issues from 2023 are still there. The same attitude problems. Nothing has actually improved. Even the media flogging about our attack last season and parts of this...it's the same high intensity bodies in motion plan we had previously, but using different areas of the field than we did in 2022.

And then you look at his signings...Iongi and JAC are good. The rest? Pezet is one of the most ridiculous signings I can ever remember tbh and the rhetoric of "we're looking to win a comp this year" is a study in delusion. Kelly is a horrendous pick.

It's a wonder I have hair is what I'm saying

Some weak efforts from some of the boys on their line. Not really the coaches fault they couldn’t be bothered tackling the guy with the ball right in front of them.

Agreed. But like I said, the problem is I can't see a single thing the coach has done to correct any of it.

If anything blokes like Pezet and Kelly have made the problems a lot worse.

He gets his time to show whether he has what it takes, but I have concerns that we'll be back to square one in the next 12-18 months

I'm struggling to keep it in my pants.

Plenty of talent in Parra let me tell you. Should have seen the view from the 38th row that I had.
Fangs, the way Penrith are going you will have to put on an apprentice to help you out on the weekends after a win as you won't make it to the end of April let alone September.
