Opinion Penrith

[Fangs]

They were disappointing despite the outs and Cleary. Far from their best. A lot of bang average players like Howarth were best on field when they should have been belted.

I'll back them to turn it on for the fans when it matters in a month.

I have not seen as many pissed off Penrith fans in a very long time as last night.

The way that game was played was very telling. For the first time in ages, Penrith felt to be very much the second best side out there despite playing a solid game. The Storm were better than the score looked.

No way on Earth am I putting the line through them.....but there are many signs that they have come back to the pack this year.

They are on par with the Storm and the Dogs now as the teams most likely to win it. Despite yesterdays loss, they still play a genuine 80 minutes which is a good sign.

This is an odd framing. They lost a coin toss game by 2 points against the current best team in the comp. At worst they’re the second best team in the comp and if they face the storm in the GF the odds would be basically even. So after winning the comp 3 years in a row they might only be the second best team (maybe they’re basically even at this point). That’s hardly ‘coming back to the pack’

They haven’t looked invincible the last 3 years either. Don’t forget that the storm won the minor premiership in 2021 as well and they only won last year after the broncos suffered the biggest choke in history.

Id say they’re in a pretty similar position this year as the last 3 years.

Roosters could run a similar plan and target to’o with high kicks and they also have some big forwards who can minimise the ruck slowing but I would still back the panthers. Panthers have every player on the same page and rarely give up easy tries like the roosters do and a big advantage in this match up is that roosters have some players that are judged harshly when it comes to sin bins and the panthers tend to get the benefit of the doubt.

Wouldn’t back any other team bar the Dolphins against the Panthers even with Cleary out. Dolphins have the ability to grind and then some players that can pull off crazy tries even when the team has no momentum and match up pretty well against a panthers team with no Cleary

Nathan Cleary to return for NRL Finals • The Western Weekender

Penrith's Premiership hopes have received a major boost with the club confirming Nathan Cleary will be available for the Finals.

4 Peat back on the menu.

As per script that's nice.

Park the Ferrari for the rest of winter. We will drive it again when Spring arrives. For now we use the BMW (Brad Schneider).

No backrowers hurt us last night. No way the kicker has that much time with Martin being a pest

It's just so coincidental how he gets an "injury" just in time to rest up the last few weeks of the season. One time they changed it up and told him to hit a player high with force so he could get a 5 week holiday before the finals.

Yes we always seem to get lucky. Our guys come back just when they need to.

I do believe he is injured. But the origin hammy thing, they were taking the piss. They wanted him to miss origin 3.

We’re winning four in a row.

No suni turuva too, we are short back rowers and starters... imagine losing by 2 points with maverick geyer as your no.1 back rower ffs...
May the fourth be with us indeed

 

[Wb1234]

Penrith should still be favourites

chin will be back even if he is held together by sticky tape

Cronk won a comp with only one arm working properly

the loss of jfh is huge though

they are in a huge building phase and other clubs are starting to catch up

Yeah but Turuva was dropped. That is tactical as opposed to the top 3 edges at the club being unavailable

That was the game I knew Parra were pretenders.

A team with a killer instinct would have gone for fifty or sixty points.

They didn't.

They didn't, or just couldn't?

Not something I'd go for, but the tattoo artist has done a great job of it.

Something like that would look great on your bald dome

Would look better spread across those chunky hairless cheeks of yours. Even I’d look Luai in the eyes to eat dat arse.
