QF1 Panthers vs Roosters

[Jane Murray]

So you want him dropped? Wow.

It is a comical error. He knows better.

 

[Smug Panther]

Naden's defence was the only blight

To'o's hands too. This is what I was expecting all year with midget wingers but somehow its taken till now to be targeted.

Yeah he dropped a few but you have those nights. Poor reads are more a concern

 

[franklin2323]

That atmosphere tonight was amazing

 

[Jane Murray]

Holy shit my f**king soul. Exhilarating game, could barely breathe there at the end.

Ineteresting to watch how we handled the occasion. I felt like we started off deep in our shell but once we got into the rhythm that energy and enthusiasm weve seen all year shone through. If anything there was a bit of overexuberance, though how much of those extremely convenient penalties were warranted is hard to say.

Our halves are outstanding. They're perfect foil for each other and will carry us to numerous premierships if we can keep them together. Clearys kicking and organising game and Jarome's creativity is are everything you could possibly hope for in a pairing. I wouldn't trade them for anyone.

Our bench was again a turning point. Our middle was suppressed in the first 20 but Leota and Tetevano were dominant against the bench of the Roosters. No surprise that was when we really ran away with it.

There'll be a lot said about Nadens kick off brain fade but the bigger issue was his missed tackle the set after. I felt like both our edges were exposed defensively, we didn't defend kicks well and there were some poor misses by Crichton in addition to Naden. If we get exposed thats where it'll happen.

On the whole I think this will give us the confidence we need to win the competition. The Roosters are an elite team, came here very much up for it in a massive game. These are the kind of games you draw on in the biggest moments.

16 in a row. Week 3, likely against someone other than Melbourne or Roosters. What a f**king season and its not even over.

When Kiks gets suspended, I wonder who will fill the void?

Panthers had Nathan Cleary...check mate.

If it happens Capewell with Spencer on to the bench

 

[Jane Murray]

If it happens Capewell with Spencer on to the bench

I think Kiks will be suspended, unfortunately. That scenario is great. Robinson's, and Cordner's, arrogance shone through. Both will not acknowledge that they were beaten fair, and square.

 

[The_Frog]

I think he should fight it. He held the bloke up so it wasn't dangerous.

 

[The_Frog]

What a game. Nearly killed me but sheesh.

Some things for us to work on but I did think the only thing that kept the Roosters in the game was penalties and six again calls at key moments. We couldn’t get a six again call to save our lives.

Does anyone know how many carryover points Kikau has? I suspect he will miss at least a week even with a guilty plea. Thankfully Capewell looks like he is in good form.

They certainly had oodles of ball in the second half, despite our 95% completion rate.

 

[Kilkenny]

I thought the better side won. We were better for 60 minutes of the 80 and deserved our win.

 

[age.s]

As an aside I thought Luai was completely justified in running in on Flanagan after Crichtons try. Flanagan slammed his head into the ground extremely late in obvious frustration. Grubby as f**k and good to see one of the littlest guys on the field give him a serve for it.

 

[herbert henry1908]

I think we’re likely to play Parra or Souths in the prelim. Not going to get a better shot at a Grand Final very often.

Neither have the forwards to match us if it goes this way

 

[franklin2323]

How good was the set play for Mansour's try. We will miss Barrett big time

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

Real pleased with the win.

Penrith got less penalties 7-4, less 6 agains 2-1, and less possession 51-49.

I thought the scoreline flattered the chooks.

Week off to work on some things will be great.

 

[Jane Murray]

That was a little close for comfort, but probably a good thing we got a tough test.

And we got the Roosters first up. That was a test we needed. The game was the best we played all season.

I agree that the scoreline flattered the Roosters.

I still have my doubts about the Lussick try and the Morris try in the 2nd half was a pure fluke

 

[Westernised Panther]

Yessir!!
