Penrith Panthers V the lot that stole our song, & claimed it as their own (bulldogs)

[Fangs]

Disappointing first half.

 

[Flashstep]

Average first half, dogs are up for this game luckily they’re just as bad in attack as us.

Hopefully we come out much better in the 2nd half

 

[Panther Pete]

That was the worst half we have played for a couple of months. All that possession and only leading by 2 at half time is appalling.

 

[OldPanther]

If anyone needed a crash course in how inept our attack inside the opposition 20 has been for the past 3 years, this is the half for you.

Any side with that sort of possession and territory would capitalise against nearly any opposition in the comp. The NSW halves are struggling to score points against the side coming 15th. Even with a man in the bin.

Bulldogs are well and truly out enthusing us. Both sides lack polish. If the possession evens up, the dogs are a real chance of scoring a couple.

I am very nervous for this 2nd half.

The positives : Liam Martin
That is all

 

[Kilkenny]

This is 40 minutes I’ll never get back. Sorry to say waste of time and money to watch this rubbish.

 

[TheFrog]

Dogs will run out of juice. The breaks in play have helped them.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

As much as I hate how often he runs sideways and doesn't bring the composure we need, just bring Luai on and watch him run around the tired Dogs forwards.

They won't be tired as it's been very stop start.

haven’t been able to watch much of the game but from what i’m reading im glad i cant

I swear Martin is better on the edge than in the middle. 2 of his 3 games there have been his most destructive. Probablyour best that half.

Mansour on that edge is useless and Naden is IMO a winger out of position. Centre requires more brainpower than he possesses. He's a talent no doubt. But he has bombed alot of tries this year through poor decisions and conceded a few too from the same.

This year seems is mirroring last years in terms of a good run of form ending. We belted Dragons... turned to shit against Raiders the following week. Never really recovered.

We lead by 2 right now. But goddamn that was a bad half of football from us.

 

[DrStange]

Do we even know how to play on the right? Everything is going left[/QUOTE
Cleary is on the right ..

Looks like a battle for the spoon at the moment.

 

[mxlegend99]

Whare is garbage

To'o is our only dependable 3/4 this year. Naden on wing could be great too. But damn our centre options suck as centres

Composure has never brought us points, so may as well try frenetic.

Cleary is one of the most composed halves in the comp, but where does it get us?

 

[Abacus]

We're mentally soft. We're still carrying on about the refs and wanting them to make the game easy for us.

It'd be nice if they'd just focus on playing footy and let the refs referee how they will.

 

[kinghippo]

Need to get luai on the field

 

[herbert henry1908]

This is so awful it hurts.

 

[kinghippo]

This could be a season ender

 

[herbert henry1908]

Sorry, but I’m at the point of saying we clearly got lucky in that winning streak.
