Opinion Penrith

[soc123_au]

The best defence in the sports history sure doesn't bore me

I've maintained the same erection since around June 2020, I'm certainly not bored.

 

[The Man Shake]

I hate watching Penrith. They are just so boring to watch. Sure they are a well drilled team, but hardly a gifted team of champions that can do extraordinary things out of nothing.

They are coached very well and do all the little things well in a competition that is very weak and full of teams with weaknesses. The Broncos are the only team that has a roaster of stars, but they are probably a year away from having enough steel and experience to beat a hardened fresh and fit Panthers team at this stage. And even next year they won't be as strong as this season personnel wise since they are losing some quality to the Dolphins.

The Panthers to me and Cleary in particular, remind me of Ivan Lendl the tennis player. Great but boring and just going through the process right to the end like a robot. Hardly memorable to watch and every time Jimmy Connors stepped onto the court it was like a breath of fresh air and the crowd would erupt with excitement and enthusiasm.

Clinical and relatively mistake free football may win you games sure, but hardly wins over the fans and wider audience that want to see thrills and spills and unpredictability. People want magic not effective robots.

Three years of this anaconda squeezing of their opposition in the GF will be a total snooze fest for 90% of the audience, unless the improbable happens and they fail in the big one, which is so very unlikely, but we can all hope I suppose.

When they won it the first time, that was cool enough, but now that they are simply doing a rinse and repeat for 3 straight years...ho f**king hum! Who gives a sh*t? They are boring as all f**k and have just hit a Goldilocks period in time where virtually every other team in the NRL is(bar the Broncos) so piss weak or in a rebuilding phase they have almost no decent opposition to oppose them. It's like teenagers playing against experienced 20 year olds.

Oh well the bias, agenda driven and dumb arse media and pundits will hail them as the mightiest of all time and put Cleary on a pedestal of the best of all time(eventually) but when you play in an era of weaklings and no ones, well the one team that has its sh*t together is gonna look like the invincible almost every time.

So freakin boring and Cleary the best of all time? Don't make me laugh, that would be like saying Ivan Lendl as impressive as his record is, is the best of all time. Hardly!

I'm not even a Riff fan, but still this is too good to ignore...

I do agree though. Melbourne 2021 were rubbish and I can't imagine anybody enjoyed Moses Leota single handedly snapping the entire Parramatta community back to reality in a vicious 20 minute assault. The Roosters & Melbourne playing defence first football and choking out the competition for the previous 15 years was far more enjoyable.

Penrith are an exciting team when they need to be

it’s not their fault they don’t need to get out of second gear to beat most of the nrl

I’ve seen them destroy teams in attack with eyes up rugby league

Further evidence, in case you needed it, that Parra are our sons…

There was a Futurana episode based on how they were conceived.

Is that you @Someone2?

 

[GongPanther]

I love a well-reasoned fan who can do better than one-eyed analysis of things their club does.

I got the exact same thing as your last sentence - a butt-hurt CEO who can't get his way, so wants other people not to, as well. Cry baby indeed.

The game is still in Sydney, more Panthers fans can go, I know it's not the same advantage as playing out West but gee, shut up and enjoy the home town advantage. Week 3 finals aren't coming to your poxy 22,500 seat stadium. Deal with it. Or go play at CommBank.

28-12.

 

[GongPanther]

The hate is from butthurt in almost every case

And history will show that the GF to end all GFs was won by PENRITH!!!

 

[Port Stephens Magpie]

Is that you @Someone2?

Someone2 isn't capable of a post like that, he can barely string a sentence together

 

[mxlegend99]

Storm have joined the bandwagon

 

[footy75]

I really hope Storm win this one so the Broncos can smash them in the GF. That should get the Panthers' boss sooking big time.

HOPE.

It will take Penrith beating themselves or getting complacent to not get this done.

As long as the premiership doesn't go to Melbourne then I'm happy.

Well you're contradicting yourself with your user name there bud. Shouldn't you call yourself "Get Rid Of The Storm"?

Anyone from Queensland who willingly supports the Storm is a "donkey".

Personally, I prefer to call them flogs.

It's right up there with the Dolphins fans who have since gone back to being Bronco fans.

 

[Woody90]

Great club player, probably one of the best, but he’d need to go and dominate in a poor side or a SOO series before being considered an immortal.

 

[Woody90]

As long as the premiership doesn't go to Melbourne then I'm happy.

Well that ain’t happening.
