Panthers v Parra

[Smug Panther]

I agree, that’s not my argument but He trampled Hughes when he held the ball in the GF. He’ll do so again if he plays like he did the month previous to last night.

But he won't hold the ball and run hard, he'll let the occasion get to him and throw stupid shit. Just like last night

Kinda crazy how he has gonna from NSW rep, to barely 1st Grade quality in a few months.

Is some of it coaching? He seems to be spending a considerable amount of time as a tight forward, and his game really isn't suited to it at all.

He is a middle, playing him on the edge is poor. Especially with TPJ and Kikau on the bench

Brad Arthur is a sore loser.

Just throw cut out's he attracts defenders, unlike Martin who defence know is going to throw 0 at them in attack

The bitching about Kennys injury is weird. Yes it came at a fortuitous time, but its not like he jumped up a moment later and tried to punch on with someone.

 

[Nealo 12]

It's always good to beat little brother

 

[martielang]

Was good to see signs of life from Capewell again. First sighting since Origin.

That’s not fair. He had just lost a close game m, his season had just ended and it was raw. A few close call went against them. All coaches would have acted like he did.

Happy with our defence and even happier to get the win but damn we bombed some tries again. When Api makes the break if he passes to Nathan’s chest we score. If Momo didn’t pass it (ironically) he would have scored. If Luai was half a meter further back behind the kick we score. I have probably left out a couple more but it just seems more of that clunkiness we have had in our game since origin. If only we could just find that form we had in the first half of the season I would be more confident about our chances next week against the Storm.

 

[DinkyDi]

If we play like we did last night, then the storm game is there for the taking. I do not get sick of watching this.

 

[WestyLife]

Well? When are you talking about?

Break/half break where Leota got the ball.

The thing that laot of people don't understand is when a game is hard and intense like the last 2 games the clunkiness comes out. It is very hard to be smooth when your getting hammered every set from the opening whistle. I watched leota make 3 hard tackles straight up. Then get the ball and do a hard run. Shit like that needs to applauded more. How many hard tackles did romie and bath make? Way to bloody many.
The problem with the modern game is everyone fixates on attack not the hard work. I couldn't care if we arnt flashy as long as we play hard wich is what we have done 2 weeks in a row and no doubt will next week.

Agree. I thought Leota was enormous last night.

He's excellent in second halves.

Huh?

If we play like we did last night we’ll get beaten by 20 against the Storm. We need to improve a lot.

Are you always this negative? That was a great game last night.

 

[Goonji]

Parramatta are the only team to beat Melbourne twice this year. Last night was never going to be a walk in the park. Great win Panthers.

We've just missed a stack of try-scoring opportunities the last couple of weeks - so we're creating enough just need to be clinical in finishing. I'm hopeful that next week the footy gods will decide to square the ledger on that front.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Haha, I’ve been accused of being negative, but I’m more a realist. The defensive effort last night was great, the attack though has been poo for months now. Cleary’s kicking game will also need to improve.

The attack isn’t flowing properly. We did miss some opportunities, but a part of that is we aren’t creating the space we were in the first half of the season.
