Panthers v. Heels

[martielang]

Cleary had a stinker. His decision making was brooksyesque.

 

[Smug Panther]

I was willing to give him a chance until a game that mattered.

He's done quicker than Daniel Russell in 2004.

Momo for all his faults got the job done and even won us a game against Souths last year

I've been very clear on my thoughts on Tyrone May....May is twice the player

If this game gets Salmon out of the 17 then its worth it. Being shit in many positions doesn't make you a utility

Cleary was far worse. Of course nothing gets mentioned

Ahh someone said it.

Some very poor decisions out there

 

[Smug Panther]

The way To'o and Leota played was super impressive, our rehabilitation team knows their shit

 

[Iamback]

If Hopgood goes to the tigers now and we get Garner now than Salman is out I reckon.

Hopgood won't go early.
He is playing the Yeo role getting ready to come in

Won the game on his own last week. I thought Luai was FAR worse than Nathan tonight. Offered nothing but pathetic niggling shit

Eisenhuth acutaly had a very strong game. Or atleast 2nd half.

@Iamback How'd the boys go?

Staines only played half a game was nothing special
The pack won the game the rest did nothing special

He's a great guy to have in a top 30. Been good all year, even in Yeo's role occasionally

Very few played well

So seems strange to blame a benchie that got 10 mins as a HIA cover

 

[Goonji]

Luai needs to play like it’s 2021. Bit disappointed in him this year. losing feels weird.

 

[Munky]

When Huth was poking his nose through every run, I knew the game was won.

The Parra pack had submitted and bent the knee.

Nek minnit...

Oh no not blaming for the result at all but it was nice to see him found out. He's not a first grader and never will be. He stinks

He's a poster boy for everything wrong with no more fighting in the game. He's on par with James Maloney, Cody Walker and Josh Reynolds. Small pissant f**ks who wouldn't have been a thing in the past

 

[Smug Panther]

Tago VERY ineffective again...almost like he could do with a spell in reggies. Anyone ready to talk about that yet?

Until we develop a backrower he is in.

It is on the front office to recruit a better option

Lack of options down there.

I was hoping Jenkins would get more time in centre tonight

 

[Thirsty Panther]

For the first night in 7 months I'm going to bed after Panthers have lost a game of football.
The sun will rise tomorrow.
Bring on the Storm!

 

[brownstone]

Strange game, I though the slightly better team went down, but Panthers brought the result on themselves.

A couple of thoughts;

A really poor controversial penalty try call, where the ball carrier was grounded short yet referee referred Salmon’s tackle to the bunker as a possible penalty try option??
Mahoney didn’t cross the line, wasn’t held up, he completely stretched out, whilst Salmon was submissive whilst prepared for the obvious upcoming tackle, yet Mahoney was deemed as denied a certain try! Penalty at worst , if at all.

Cleary kicked 2 from 4, sprinted out of the line to grasp thin air on Gutherson, for the decisive eels try. A poor Cleary game tonight in general, which is very rare…

Brown’s try, from a very early age you are thought to catch balls on the full.

May’s try before halftime should not have been paid, given Kikau’s lead up knock on, from the play before.

Great coaching from Arthur though, eels players passing whist driven backwards in defence was a real momentum changer !
As was the constant change of angles.

Arthur may have provided a panthers defensive line blueprint tonight for other teams.

Finally, referee certainly went out of his way to negate the big home crowd influence. Panthers could not buy an obvious 6 again or penalty.

Just one of those games, unfortunately…
