Penrith fans have lost it. They are too used to winning.

I think the Panthers fans are underestimating how big of a loss Api and Kikau will be.
Api is the best 9 in the comp - he plays at a really high tempo, has them on the front foot on every play the ball, it’s all a snowball affect - his potential running threat, coupled with his deception gives his forwards that half a yard of space that allows them to get on the front foot, which then enables a quick play the ball, which then means the next tackle has another half yard of space/time, defence is back peddling constantly. Their forwards will be nowhere near as dominant without him.
Then Kikau, he’s their main threat out wide; he attracts defenders, which in turn creates time and space for Luai - Luai has been known to go missing in tough/close games anyway, he’s a flat track bully - I predict he’ll have a very poor season this year without Kikau as his foil.
They’ll also miss both those players in defence - Api creates their line speed, and Kikau is a terrific wide defender. There’s no bodyguard now - Luke Garner just ain’t the same threat in attack or defence.

Yep agree. Without Api there was more pressure on the chins kicking game. Without Kikau, who to be fair I didnt rate as high as Api, they looked impotent on the left. It is shaping up to be a very even comp.

But we have the lord of lords, the most high king of wet hair.

Fixed it.

No, you didn't. Probably too pissed to fix it properly LOL

 

[Frenzy.]

So, Tigers vs Bulldogs in the GF?

BTW, the Panthers have released Api twice now. Souths, Penrith, Manly, Penrith, Tigers.

Penrith suck, in so many ways.

 

[coolumsharkie]

Agree on all comments. They looked underwhelming for sure, not the same team they have been but that was expected. I still think they will be hard to beat throughout the year.

Blowing your loads in February? Put a rubber on ffs.

 

[glenmoresharkie]

There’s a few early crow’s in here. Kikau and Api are huge losses yes but I can still see them coming in the top 4. Koroisau is a bigger loss than Kikau imo

 

[shadowboxer]

Yeah I don’t get the hate. Aside from Luai - anyone who starts comparing themselves the Micheal Jordan needs to have a long look at themselves through a schooner glass.

Relegation looms i reckon. Be playing coventry and millwall next season.

We’d still blow in a rubber. What’s ur point?

 

[soc123_au]

Good question. Less mess I suppose.

 

[Ozzi_78]

This is bullshit Ronny. Stop it mate.

 

[sladden road]

To be frank, when I posted this I was angry. I had faith in the Riff to get it done. They have been an outstanding team. Lifted the game to another level. But losing to the Saints was dire.
unaustralian.

Also, API is a gun.

 

[Mr Angry]

Will take the pennies some time to evolve post Api.

What I expect to see is the Tigers make the finals.

That is how much a difference a great dummy half makes, injury make void, next best is park quality.

Will take the pennies some time to evolve post Kikau.

He will not make much difference to the bulldogs, no spine to use him correctly, best backrower in the game for mine, but a backrower.

Bulldogs to be much the same in 2023, shyte spine.
