Harold Matthews and SG Ball Discussion Thread

[murraymob]

Spoke to Jim and Mary Jones on Saturday Night and they said Bryce's injury is not serious at all and he is just having a couple weeks off as a precaution.

Bryce said it was a 2 to 3 week injury last week being the first.I was refering more to him being listed as bruce .

Was there on the first match. Ate 'dog and fries combo for an overpriced 10 bucks. Saw a couple of tries from the Penrith side before heading back to Panthers and going to the arms expo.

Thought about buying a samurai sword but got turned off by the price.

Overall a fun day out.

Two awesome games!

Two great games today, well done by the panthers. but also great win by the western academy harold matts over the bulldogs. the dogs look very disorganised & not very fit.

I thought they were messy. The Matts started strong but then let the Dragons into the game I understand. Over 15 missed completions. The 14 Elboustani saved 2 certain dragons trys. As did 3 Nelson. Rob Jennings ran constantly. The Ball dropped nearly the same amount of ball the half and fiveeight work overtime to save them. Good results but big improvement needed in ball control. Bryce Cartwright obviously playing injured. Lodges mongrel in the middle missed.

Im not sure what game u were watching stumpy but i would suspect on average in harold matts football there would be a maximum of about 20-25 sets each team given there is only 60minutes of football so basically penrith completed only 5 sets from 20-25 and still won gee what could they have done to dragons look in my opinion it was a great game of tough footy with very little penalties and standouts for mine were SONI HALA,ROBERT JENNINGS,MARIO ELBOUSTANI and especially the hooker CAMERON COLLINS he caused havoc around the rucks...

 

[stumpyone]

I'd agree with you re the players still thought it was messy both teams dropped a lot ball, maybe it was the heat. The Ball game was the same.

Young milgate off the bench sparked the team when they looked flat and Mario played very well I'm impressed Robert Jennings was hard to taclkle but I'd like him hit a gap off the Halves and big soni was vey impressive and hooker cutting them to pieces I also like to mention the halve from stgeorge the seven vey Good.

 

[Panther_Daz]

I also like to mention the halve from stgeorge the seven vey Good.

Agree 100%. Told the Dragons fans at work that they have a special young halfback coming through.
