Match Discussion: Round 14 vs Penrith @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton

[Tom155]

will be 26-0 at ht

After another break, just busting us at will

At least PENRITH play an entertaining brand of rugby league.

Penrith and Melbourne are so far above what we are capable of. Both could have 10 out and still beat us.

I’m already not enjoying this Fox coverage and then they go and put that wannabe Origin d*ckhead Hack Lolmax on during the ad break.

We’re trash as we all know but f**k everything that could possibly go Penrith’s way does. If we tackled one of their players off the ball like they did with Klemmer it’s penalty and a sin bin no questions asked.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Cleary had 0.08 seconds to get a kick in on Wednesday. It seems that today’s pressure after 40 has his average out to 12 minutes per kick for the week so far.

 

[Knight Tales]

Was too much for them to actually compete for 80 mins on a Sunday in front of a home crowd. They don’t deserve us. They just embarrass this city. My question is when will Gardner just sack him. It is time. I have tried to rationalise reasons he should stay but Adam O’Brien is clueless. It is actually funny
Now.

Wouldn't have made any at all. Our line speed from minute 1 was absolutely pathetic... and a million other indicators that we didn't even show up to compete. It's like these blokes don't even know how to work hard anymore. We certainly don't know how to move a football either. It's embarrassing watching our blokes try to just link a few passes along the line together.

Yep they are going through the motions. Not good signs for a coach.

It’s a shame Ponga went off and so this flogging has a default excuse. Wouldn’t have made much difference.

Braith Anasta said this at halftime and Corey Parker just said why is it an excuse?

Fair point IMO. Don't see Panthers making excuses for Yeo being out.

We were already on the way to getting flogged when he came off, so I thought it was a silly comment from someone covering the game.

 

[Jono078]

100%. This is what we look like to the Panthers.

He has to be on borrowed time, surely? Bedsy has played the game, and Gardner isn't an idiot either. They can't watch this and think yep, this bloke is the coach we need.

 

[PhilGould]

Hard to see things improving as long as we're relying on the likes of Milford, Clifford, Clune to lead the team around.

Then again, Townsend and Dearden were meant to lead the Cows to the spoon. Turns out good coaches can get the most out of even average players.

 

[Spot On]

Good ‘ol Gags leading the missed tackle stats once again. Will he get to double figures today?

 

[Jono078]

I know I harp on about it, but look at AOB's bench use again.

Only Leo Thompson came on for Saifiti. Not going to include Mann's forced change.

Meanwhile Panthers have used 3 bench players already.

Does he not understand what the bench does? You bring players on to change the momentum. Meanwhile we have players tiring by the minute and not throwing anything new at the Panthers.

Not saying bringing Saulo or Croker would have changed the result but for f**k sake give them time, give our big boys a break so they can return physically and MENTALLY fresh in the second half.

It really really irks me.

 

[Allstar Knights]

I think Young is our only player in the team that can beat a player or two and works hard to generate a quick play-the-ball. Sad.

 

[Yosh]

What's a word that is worse than rubbish? That's us.

Hope Ciraldo enjoys his day coaching at Newy today. I would love for him to be our next head coach.

Dom Young is good to watch at least.

I want to apologize for this post. It wasn't accurate at all.

Our most damaging runner full-stop and they park him on the wing never touching the ball. Mind boggling.
