you keep trying to insult Brisbane fans, any real Brisbane fan knows how shit their team is (including myself and I have said it more than once)..
No... Broncos fans keep insulting the Panthers. We're just taking stabs back at the Broncos considering they're sticking the boot into a team that is well and truly above them on the ladder AND beat them when we faced them.
however Penrith fans on the other hand can't accept that their draw this season basically handed them a position in the finals on a platter. You've beaten some or the worst teams this year (twice) and you've had to play some of the better teams this year only once.
We play 90% of the same games as the Broncos and Roosters. We are one of the better teams, so the teams we only play once also benefit from that. ;-)
There's a few shit teams we only played once aswell. Broncos, Cowboys and Tigers (since we only beat shit teams, they must be shit). While other clubs get to play those sides twice instead. The draw evens itself out for the most part.
Penrith supporters claim the high ground on that, they think they're in the finals because they have a superhuman roster with a superhuman coach, this Penrith side is that good that they didn't even lose a single player during origin. There you go, that's how good they are.
Show me one post that says that? :lol: That sounds like the shit Broncos fans, Haynetrain, Bunnniesman etc. post. I haven't seen a single Panthers fans post anything even remotely close to that. Feel free to prove me wrong, I would love to have a laugh at a fan that delusional aswell.
If you want to compare Penrith to Brisbane, we can do that. Sure, no problem. Phil Gould went out and spent time at the Broncos because he wants to mimic the professionalism at the Broncos, how's that for a comparison? your club aspires to be what Brisbane is and has been for the last 25 years, at the moment we aren't getting the results on the field but that's only just around the corner.
Phil Gould wants to build our brand up like the Broncos brand has been built. He doesn't want our team on the field to follow the Broncos on the field, as you can see by the fact we AREN'T cheating the salary cap and we ARE winning games.
I read some halfwit saying "I will be happy if we make it the top 4, whatever else happens is a bonus", oh so you're willing to watch your team get pummelled into submission in consecutive weeks just because you got it handed to you via the NRL. I'd be happy with that too, well played Phil.
We're happy with simply making the finals because our roster at the moment is severely depleted with players who aren't due back until next season.
We're simply being realistic. Take the equivalent players out of any roster and show me one that looks to be anything more then making up the numbers in the finals. Here's the players who won't play another game of football in 2014, and are without a doubt better then the blokes playing in those jerseys:
7. Peter Wallace (c) (with Sowie going back to 6)
11. Bryce Cartwright
12. Tyrone Peachey
13. Elijah Taylor
At full strength, our best backrow is the one that is currently sitting on the sidelines. Those second rowers and their attacking brilliance they offer, also saw them as our 3rd and 4th choice halves once Wallace and John were injured. These guys are losses to our full strength team, the likes of John, Jennings, Yeo, Kite etc. are losses that compile these losses as we're choosing players further down the pecking order to cover injuries.
Say what you will about how you rate those players. Take their equivalents out of another team and those fans wouldn't be any more optimistic about their chances in the finals.
