Where did that come from? For me, that is the best win we have had for a very, very long time. Defence was brutal and enthusiastic and our attack looked great. After the first 3 rounds I thought Maloney was past it but after tonight's performance that is clearly not the case. The only downside out of that would be Peachey, I think he should head off to the Titans now. Actually there was one other downside.....listening to a Queenslander call a Queensland based side.

That was so beautiful I'm going to have to have another kid so I can name it "round 4 2018"

Only thing I'd do is not pick Leota again and I hope Egan gets more minutes but I understand easing him into it.

If we keep defending like that whilst Maloney keeps putting in Gower-like performances there is no reason why we can't make the top four.

Leota ran hard & defended like a beast for the most part.

Couple of mistakes but I wouldn’t cut the nose off to spite the face, plenty of upside imo.

I f**kING LOVE YOU PENRITH. I'm not joking though, I just had this gut feeling we would win, and fairly comfortable too. all this talk about us being done is what we love. I just didn't want to say it because I didn't want to jinx nothing. :black_heart::green_heart::heart::yellow_heart:

Two Top 4 teams in 4 rounds, inclusive of the premiership favs..

Great attack
Better defence
Our number 1 player out
Great coaching

Maloney is worth every cent

Stick that in your pocket....

How good was that. They didn't look like premiership favorites but we gave them next to nothing. In fact I'd say the absolute clubbing we gave them in defense had plenty to do with how tentative they were.

JFH was an absolute monster. So strong with the ball and crunched every other tackle. Looked much better in the middle as others have mentioned. Kikau was really dangerous, as was RCG. Wallace was excellent (finally some dummy half kicks that weren't train wrecks). Really can't fault many of the boys tonight (I actually thought Leota was pretty good too). Shoutout to Crichton who made some good early takes and carries.

But Jimmy. f**k me. That's among the best halfback performances I've seen by a Panther in years. He looked dangerous but composed in a way only the absolute best halfbacks do. Some massive plays and even dropped Hess on his ass for a bit of icing. He was a massive cut above Thurston and Morgan. I'm much less worried about the next 10 weeks without Cleary if Jimmy's going to be half that player, with the only concern being Origin.

Only complaint I have was Peachey. Can't be too hard on him as it's not his position, but he really doesn't offer much in the 6. If Luai is anywhere near able to cope with the defensive load he's got to start next week. Would love to see more of Egan too.

f**k I love weekends where we win (well) at the start of the round and I can watch the rest of the footy with peace in my soul. Nothing better.

The forward rotation made a bit more sense with Egan on the bench.
I hope the Yeo is ok, that was a nasty knock, looked like he caught an elbow on the jaw.

Need him with the forward situation. Yeo getting out cold gave him more minutes
