Don't just blame Peach (who was ordinary) or Dyl, who had some silly moments..That was a shit sandwich all round, lets be fair, we got f'ed in the A by the refs but geez there were some poor errors. This is what having your virtual 6 best players out does..they had plenty out too..thought we might sneak this one home, but not to be..

The referee cost Penrith the game pure and simple. Cowboys scored a try off a 3 metre forward pass, and one off a double movement. 3 6 agains, none to Penrith. Not one 50/50 decision went Penriths way. The “knock on” by Sorensen was a pathetic decision by the video ref, and the penalty for the non-existent strip that gave the cowboys the chance to win was ridiculous.

The ref was crap but too many brain dead errors cost us in the end which was sad after such a good first half.
That said I can’t stand Origin and how it costs us key players when every 2 points is valuable, because I know that we should comfortably beat that mob at full strength. Now the Broncos are clear first and with their upcoming draw it will be hard to catch them.

Actually thought Peach had a really strong game with ball and defensively…. But as soon as I saw that ball dribble out, I knew Umina would be balls deep in the keyboard already.

Hard to be critical. We ran outta gas but ripped in and hung on.

IC is a champ but his use of the bench is strange. Sorensen was cooked early second half and not playing particularly well, yet he takes off Hosking. Brings on Luke but keeps on Kenny and we just get rolled down the middle due to pure size stuff nullifies Lukes game.
He blew a try by not passing in the first few minutes and he only got worse. He is shit

We had that in the bag until a few of our senior players decided to step up and lose the game for us.

Peachey is fine for shorter bursts. Not an 80 min player.

We had Kenny in the middle with a fresh Spencer on the bench.

Garner too. Take off Sorro you get 2 fresh forwards

Spencer should of came back on with 25 left when the Cowboys started coming back.

Some dumb plays too especially late in the game
Spencer is useless while Luke is at DH. Luke has the probing and running game but not the stock standard dummy half service, and that is more important to this basics first team.

Peachey made a few good grabs and some great runs. Defended well. But that is nulliffied by critical errors. Butchered a try and a few drops including the vital one.

Worst error in our game was the Edwards field goal attempt. So dumb when we had momentum, Cowboys were backpeddling and shot and we kick an off centre field goal from 30 odd metres out. Not only do we not win, we give them 7 tackles 20 metres out. Just pure dumb. So dumb it makes regular dumb look like a genius.

Fresh body for defence was needed. Any attack was a bonus

One thing for Soni Luke, he did some good stuff inside our red zone. He isn't too durable but he made some crucial tackles in the second half against big crash plays from the Cowboys.

Otherwise not his best night.
