Guess I just solved my quandary around who I'd want to win a GF, the cocky Broncos or the smug Panthers. I'm going the cocky.

That is next level of smug BS. Plus it's shit. Up the Wahs is shit also. But it's ours. f**k off.

It is lame

Though it got salt makes it very very much worth it

LOL and Penrith deleted their "Up the Pahs" posts from all of their social media profiles.

Spineless.
Probably realised how shallow it looked, after the fact, theres too many flyby night rapwanabee panthers fans who jump on the bus thus time of year, making stupid posts just like that, who make us all look bad

Looks like they pulled the pahd think bc people got triggered

it was hilarious people need too get a grip


This is what Penrith are about
Haha...I wasn't triggered, I don't like Up the Wahs anyway. Hilarious? I couldn't even hear the words. It was shit. And seeing as Jerome Luai thought it was funny, I think that's the death knell for it. Mr wedding speech himself saw humour in it, which is probably about the time the Panthers media team reconsidered it.

I just thought it was low rent. Lame. Needless. I don't see how you need to mock a team when you've won back to back premierships and spanked them 32-6, unless there was a rivalry (there isn't).

And if you want to be triggered, or go full offence taken, why would you mock a side that kept the comp going for two years? Is that what big bully boys do? I don't see it that way, although I guess some could.

Their videos on Youtube, as someone said, are awesome. This was shit. And someone high up in the Panthers organisation agreed.

Up the Wahs is shit too. And is only a new thing... Luai knows how to get bites.

Works everytime, He gets exactly what he wants

Good on ol Jerome, then. His best mate's Mrs wasn't as fond of his niggly humor at her wedding...but you can't please everyone, right? Some people like to be intelligent, some people like to be classy,but Jerome is ok being Jerome

Yet they are still mates, She would know exactly what he is like. I presume had approval for him to being best mate knowing he'd likely say something dumb.

He is a troll, The modern version of Mundine. Says stuff to get a response to lift his form.

Take that post after Origin 2, His form lifted from then on.

People want him to stop or stop the side winning. Ignore him but people are idiots and will keep feeding him

Fair enough- the game needs heroes and villains, and rascals etc.

Sorry to beat the same old boring drum on this, but is a club's social media prerogative to get people sooking? Or is it to portray an image of their club?

The social media person isn't the club,

The fact the club rang the Warriors to check that it wasn't taken as disrespect shows their thoughts on the matter.

The Social media, Would of seen and heard the song a fan made - coupled with Luai's post.

And linked the 2 together. The words are too smug to come from anyone offical

Yet the clubs biggest troll, left the post up to keep getting hate

Unfortunately, the social media person is the club. If the sh*t hits the fan, the club cops it. They never say oh no that's not us, that's ol' Barry in the comms department. They are employed to manage the public-facing part of the club on social media.

I agree - the CEO rang the Warriors because he knew it was bottom-feeding, low rent petty BS that wasn't necessary, and it was a less than ideal reflection on the Panthers brand, for which he is ultimately responsible.

Unless I'm missing something, that video wasn't made by a fan. It was made by a Panthers employee, therefore the Panthers. If I'm wrong, fine, but that's how I saw it.

It's not a big issue but the right move was made to take it down. I don't think the CEO needed to apologise for offence taken, but it was really average to try and slap down a club that didn't throw any barbs the Panthers' way, and has just focused itself on getting better after the shit years of COVID.

The music and lyrics behind it was pulled from the fans post last week, Social media person added pictures to it. Apparently the song went viral on Tik tok last week - I am not on it so can't confirm

I doubt Cameron, Fletcher, Brandy and co are trawling Tik Tok. To pass on that it is in bad taste, So when the social media person is looking for new content.

The viral song from a fan, that Luai has since mentioned seems like a good idea. I dare say they have a basic procedure to follow but if
It doesn't have language or nudity.

Then they'd have free reign. It isn't the 1st post that an offical site has had to remove. It won't be the last.

For me unless it is on the Offical website for the various club than it is easy to excuse
