Match Discussion: Round 7 vs Penrith @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

[Haffa]

Same. Not because I don't think he's good enough but because I don't think his attitude fits the current culture of the side. I don't want him to be a bad influence.

He’s going to need to grow as a leader at some point. Hopefully the team forces that.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

That supposed hair pull on Lui was a turning point. He had hold of his jumper.
You can't put half of his back off limits because Lui doesn't wear a bun.

 

[Alex28]

I can’t help but think Kalyn is sitting in the crowd watching their efforts and thinking “I cannot wait to be part of this”.

I think he’ll add to this, not stifle it.

Yeah it was rough, and very unlucky. We had a lot of unlucky calls go against us tonight, and a few little things that weren't picked up. They were things that would have made us drop our bundle in the past.

The entire 15 minutes after half time was just murder and we never really recovered. Credit to Penrith that they didn't let us recover too. We just hung in there til the death.

 

[Apey]

Just had nothing left in the tank unfortunately. The good news is that we beat ourselves. The bad news is that we beat ourselves.

Yeah we were physically f**ked in that second half. Absolutely cooked. Brought it upon ourselves though.

 

[Tom155]

He looked off the pace

Has pretty much all season imo

Hasn’t impressed

 

[slotmachine]

We lost because we dropped the ball 20 times after half time and couldn't kick a goal, not because laui has long hair

 

[Woosh]

Getting penalised for saying FMD after Luai should’ve been penalised for his 2nd and 3rd effort?
Weak as piss.

Gagai allegedly said, “F**k me dead,” but Gough wasn’t buying the Knights star and skipper Tyson Frizell’s assertion it wasn’t directed at the referee.

‘F*** me dead’: Gagai slammed for ‘mouthing off’ at ref as Knights star cops dissent penalty

We got some dud calls + killed our selves with errors but a side note wtf was Fitz thinking even chancing that hit on Cleary on the fg

Got away with it this time but its just asking for trouble

10000%. The game was there to be won, and we choked in the crucial stage after half time. If we make even half the errors during that period, we maybe get home there.

Moronic from senior player. Tell him he's a clown for me

 

[Apey]

Also we win that with a goalkicker. Something we haven't had since Gidley.

Forgot to add our forever constant dud goal kicking

Would have had more petrol in the tank for golden point at least. Panthers strolled 65m in their only set to kick the FG

Fitz is just dumb, and one of the few remaining loose cannons in the team that just regularly produces those clangers. He really did get away with it, I thought it'd be a penalty for all money.

Still a dud rule you have long hair you run the risk of it getting pulled during contact sport

Opposing team should not be penalised if it happens

 

[Allstar Knights]

Mann added a lot off the bench through the middle third of the field with his speed and leg drive. I can warm to him if he keeps that up.

 

[perverse]

Moronic from senior player. Tell him he's a clown for me

Gotta say outside of that he was sensational. I'll give him a pass on the marginally high shot that certainly saved a try.

Came on at a crucial time and swung momentum.

AOB has to learn he can't leave crossland on for so long too

Yeah I think the "common sense" interpretation there is that Friz can't even make an attempt to tackle him otherwise, and it was certainly accidental. Letter of the law it's a penalty though unfortunately.
