Penrith from everyone’s second favourite club in 2003 to absolute hated club in 2021:

[Westernised Panther]

I was thinking more the Paul Franze days

I wonder if Franze and Rooney exchange birthday and Christmas cards?

 

[TheRiff]

Was at the game with a bunch of mates we were 14/15 got kicked out around halftime for drinking. never forget it lost my virginity that night

Mummy made you a man?

 

[TheRiff]

I wonder if Franze and Rooney exchange birthday and Christmas cards?

Nah Franze hogs them all

 

[Fangs]

I wonder if Franze and Rooney exchange birthday and Christmas cards?

I don't think so. But I know he got Danny Galea for Kris Kringle.

Oh yeah, that too... ugh.

 

[roofromoz]

Nah Franze hogs them all

"Pass to Rooney on your left hand side..."

 

[roofromoz]

I don't think so. But I know he got Danny Galea for Kris Kringle.

Once again, poor old Garrett Crossman misses out.

 

[Westernised Panther]

"Pass to Rooney on your left hand side..."

Ah so that was you who came up with that! I remember someone either here on LU or on the old Panthers Forum posting that line and matching it up to the Musical Youth classic.

Well played

Oh come on!! Galea was alright. After all, he did play in the last game of the regular 2003 season against Parra to help win the Minor Premiership!!

Every team fanbase has some smug dickheads and some top blokes and some in between.

Except for Manly fans, we are all awesome, funny AF and humble.

and modest!

That goes a long way toward it I reckon. The mannerisms of players - especially when winning.

I can’t find anything to like about Luai. Respect his ability - yeah I do. There’s no one else in the panthers side who is truly despisable for mine, but he is. And that carries itself into the view on the team as a whole.

Some people may call it confidence, youthful exuberance… others like me simply see a twat.

We will see if this twat helps his team win a comp on the weekend and earn some respect for what he does on the field, as opposed to the way he loses it for the way he carries on..

Something not quite right about Luai, a very very odd “man”

 

[The Predictor]

What makes them cocky or arrogant? Because Crichton patted a bloke on the head 9 months ago?

Personally I think it's f**king great that players want to play for the club, their teammates and their area. It's great to have some sort of tribalism in the game again.

Backstreet Boys, who play a little footy

 

[TheRiff]

Some of the Dinosaurs on this sitewill lose their minds, The cocky players are a by product of the US influence. Better get used to it grandpa's!

Don"t think it was me who did that. But it was a chant a few of us in the Eastern Grandstand (back in the Penriff's Army days) used to do in frustration everyone Franze took the tackle with an unmarked Rooney to his left

They've broke the f**ken trophy and are carrying the dudes around in a baby carrier

They've broke the f**ken trophy and are carrying the dudes around in a baby carrier

I find it horrifying and hilarious in equal measure. Such an Australian thing to do.

 

[Mr Angry]

Young men and jealousy, such an animalistic instinct and a sight to behold.

Most grow out the of it. Some never do.

Bunch of young blokes who are true friends.

Good for them.

Luke Lewis is a legend.

 

[Pantherjim.]

Lol! Bet the Tigpies fans aren’t too happy about this one

 

[JamesRustle]

Luai strikes me as the kind of kid who, back in high school would've started shit while the teachers' back was turned and then when caught in the act would've blamed somebody else. I get "Jonah from Tonga" vibes about him...

I'm not getting the blackface vibes from Jerome.

 

[Das Hassler]

I don't get the stuff about Luai...just comes across as a guy happy to be living his life to me...can't say the same for some others over there but cant understand what the issue is with him that i'm missing.
