Mighty Panthers V Parramatta

[Black Diamond]

You can all stop whinging now....2 points are 2 points

It was nice for Ivan to handicap us to keep it close. Top guy.

 

[Munky]

Do we ever collect the short kick off?

The semi last year, vs Melbourne and this game.

 

[Girds89]

Just need ball.

You don't look good with 45% possession

We missed cleary. You were very wrong. We had no direction and were terrible without him.

 

[WestyLife]

May: picked because he's mates with Nathan and costing us. Nah can't criticise

Staines: one bad mistake which he made up for with a big try saver on sivo. Gets crucified.

 

[Flashstep]

Thank f**k we won that one but Jesus we are f**ked without Nath, Ivan really can't coach for shit we lose our best player and we go back to the passing to Kikau and hope he does something which barely worked when we used to always do that.

 

[mxlegend99]

We got lucky to walk away with the win. Deadset happy with the result but we saw just how important Nathan is. Especially in close games.

 

[Pomoz]

Ivan is such a coward. He is so scared of losing he can't make risky decisions. Yes there is more disruption with Burton at halfback, but it is in the right area, the spine. FFS grow a pair man and put Burton in at halfback and Tago in the centres. May is not a halfback, he is a good steady player but we have no attack of note with him there. If he watches this game and can't see that then we have no hope of winning the next few games. We were pedestrian. Luckily Moses bottled it or we would have lost that game.

 

[Fangs]

Good to see Moses fail.

But we have one of the best back up playmakers in the game. And he played centre. I hope that isn't the case next round.

 

[Girds89]

Staines- 4/10. Soft carries. Looked sus under every high ball and threw a couple terrible passes.
Too- 8.5/10 standard for him
Burton- 6.5 needed to get involved more
Critta- 7/10 tried hard strong carries
Naden- 7/10 nice return. Good intercept strong carries
Luai- 6/10 didnt take charge and direct the team. Was missing for large parts.
May- 4/10 hes not a halfback. Other his try and a few strong hits i barely noticed he was out there. No direction

Thought all our forwards did pretty good in a tough wrestle..

Api man of the match by a country mile.

Moving forward im really not convinced charlie is our best winger let alone fb in the future.
I hope we didnt break the bank to keep him.

Been saying for a long time he has not done anything to be a definite pick every week and a stint in nsw cup will be good for his development.

We missed cleary. You were very wrong. We had no direction and were terrible without him.

We had 5 guys back up from SOO
No Edwards

Both tries we conceded off kicks. Wet slippery game was never going to be a high scoring game but defence got us home

Api man of the match

 

[murraymob]

Listen we can bag the boys say this didn’t work.but that was 2nd v 3rd our defence won it for us
Martin is a beast Leniu also had us going forward .i will take the win any day .Sorenson is getting better and better

 

[Smug Panther]

No Nath = no Comp. It's VERY simple

 

[Michael Matral]

Where's Rhyno?

 

[franklin2323]

Good to see Moses fail.

But we have one of the best back up playmakers in the game. And he played centre. I hope that isn't the case next round.

Edwards and Momo give options to do that

 

[Smug Panther]

Luai was f**king awful too. He needed to step up and simply didn't. I thought he'd come back in swinging his massive origin dick and kill it

 

[DinkyDi]

Listen we can bag the boys say this didn’t work.but that was 2nd v 3rd our defence won it for us

I have to admit, I am confused, and bemused, why Leniu was penalized?

 

[franklin2323]

Brandy basically said no Momo was why May played 7

 

[chrisD]

Two tries conceded off kicks but Burton’s defence was troubling really. So do you move him, mainly for his kicking game, or do you leave him to work on his defence in the position he’ll play finals in.

Staines was no better than Crichton who wasn’t any good but he should get more than one chance to show something.

Parra defended well and our reliable players made some poor errors and they got two tries off kicks, and we still won.

We have beaten 1 and 3 without Cleary

Both on back of defence. Defence wins comps
