Post game discussion v panthers

[Poupou Escobar]

I would have thought that Salmon would have been worth a shot in the centres, tbh.

Tbh, our bench was woeful - Taka, I thought, added some spark, and Gower was excellent, but Alvaro and Terepo were ineffective.

Alvaro defended well, but was a wasted hit-up every time, and Terepo is just awful.

Ferguson tried hard, but his awful handling, and brain explosions, were not good...

Ultimately, though, our 6 and 7 were the worst players on the field.

Smith did some good things, and many bad - he played to what is expected from him, imo.

But Moses...playing for a contract, wanting to be the man...he was utter garbage, I thought.

Mind you, there were plenty of others out there who were terrible, too.

I'm tired of insipid performances.

When we beat the Dogs, we showed heart.

When we beat the Dragons, we showed heart.

We defended like demons against the Raiders.

We even showed ticker to almost make a real game of it against Newcastle.

But the last three weeks have been totally unacceptable, imo.

I don't know.

There was no problem with the effort tonight, from either team. Both teams were pretty shit though.

Last week I thought both teams played well.

 

[Sphagnum]

Tbf we are missing the brown boys a lot. They were both playing well and salmon was doing a good job at 14. Getting them back means we hopefully won't have to see terepo and moeroa anymore.

Well having to sack coaches to make the members happy hasn't really worked for us in the past, has it?

So that means we should hang onto a fraud that is clearly not up to it??

 

[Joshuatheeel]

So it’s ok when you whinge???

Well it’s been ok for you, so thought it was ok for me too!

 

[Incorrect]

Panthers played the conditions better. Before kick off, commentators were saying it was perfect conditions, no dew... But it became very slippery very quickly and we didn't adjust. We were playing expansive arvo footy like the last 2 times we played there. And we kept dropping the pill. Panthers dropped plenty too but they kept playing the middle third, not throwing 20 metre passes from dummy half... Tells me we haven't trained at that ground under lights and at this time of day. We looked like giraffes on ice skates out there....

 

[Parra Cheeses]

The timing of recent signings could not have been worse. Reward for mediocrity. Not sure Moses is the answer, I have not seen him show ticker against adversity. Taka is worthless. W Smith?
Decent halves would have won this for Parra.

 

[84 Baby]

He can’t while you’re holding hands with him

That must of been why Fergo kept dropping the ball cause BA didn’t have his hands free

 

[Chipmunk]

Well having to sack coaches to make the members happy hasn't really worked for us in the past, has it?

If we lost our next four and its mid June, would they have re-signed him though?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Scapegoats!!!

You just love Scapegoats you merkin!!

It's obvious when a player has a shit game.

 

[Incorrect]

Noticed lane spent a fair bit of time defending in the middle during the second half. Pulled off a couple of bell ringers and made a stack of tackles. Was about the only positive I saw

He was good. Just about the only one who was...

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Well that is one of the most disgusting performances tonight.

Penrith can count themselves lucky that we were just awful.

To drop the ball that many times early in the second half is not even first grade standard.

Once again its their p1ss attitude tonight just like against Knights and Storm but even in those games they dropped less ball.

I don't know how theyre going to beat any team with that performance let alone Souths.

I'm filthy.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Hmmmm, ok.

Effort is rarely the problem with our team. Confidence and composure often is though. Like I said, we need to buy some leaders. The Kiwi captain might be a good buy.

 

[84 Baby]

If we lost our next four and its mid June, would they have re-signed him though?

This part I agree with you. Seems like a poorer decision than playing Fergo at centre

 

[Chipmunk]

Remind me how the current board got elected

They didn't. They were appointed. As far as I'm aware they never have to seek re-election.

Can someone confirm this is the case?

 

[hineyrulz]

At least Gower and Hoffman has digs tonight.

Hard nosed professionals, Guth and Moses could learn a thing or two of them.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Fargo not a centre.


Why did Mahoney pass the ball so deep every play??? All game Penrith rush up he should be taught to take a few steps when that happens then pass or run.

Inexperience. It's a massive problem for our team. Our captain has played fewer than 80 games ffs.

 

[hineyrulz]

It's obvious when a player has a shit game.

Everyone was shit bar a few, stop singling people out you scapegoating MERKIN!!

 

[DaveMc]

That must of been why Fergo kept dropping the ball cause BA didn’t have his hands free

BA’s hands were occupied holding his contract for dear life, still shocked that it’s been given to him.

 

[DaveMc]

Inexperience. It's a massive problem for our team. Our captain has played fewer than 80 games ffs.

The one we just resigned for overs?

 

[hineyrulz]

Inexperience. It's a massive problem for our team. Our captain has played fewer than 80 games ffs.

And Penriths wasn’t??

Their spine has played f**k all football.


You could of blamed the fact we played a strong team who spends a lot more on there team than us.
