Rd 17 vs dogs

[Fangs]

I'll stuff you infront of your missus unless you fire up

Garner was stuffed. He can't do 80. I wish he would though.

I think we all lived a thousand years in that last 5 minutes.

It was crazy.

One of the best games of football this year. Very tight game.

 

[Fangs]

The ref did his best, but we still won.

He put it away second half.

12 to 18 point win if he let's us play football in the first half. Gave the Dogs a chance.

Huge win in the context of the season.

These past two games could have derailed the season for good.

Now it's two and a half weeks off for the bulk of the team and a near two weeks to Origin 3 for the rep guys.

Sets things up nicely with a run of games against teams outside the top eight.

Lets hope they can summon the intensity for those matches too.

Fingers crossed everyone pulls up ok. Patea looked ginger for a while and hopefully there was nothing too serious for Milky. Too was immense but clearly not 100%, or even 70%. He'll need a spell after Origin surely.

Hopefully Ivan work his bench out as it was not utilised well tonight.

We need a fourteen that can play in the halves or do twenty in the middle at hooker and add some spark.

Not sure we have that player in the squad. Cole maybe, Toelau and Laurie would get trampled and Schneider is a handbrake.

Edit: Forgot Patea went off lame.

 

[Fangs]

You can't be anything but hyped after that win.

You could sense it in Dogs fans. They were honestly shitting their pants all week. Who wouldn't? We came we saw we conquered. Its Penrith and it's what we do.

Dogs were very good. But another performance like that and they won't win when it matters. I reckon their grand final will be played early at Homebush against us in round 26. If we lose that one don't shed any tears.

You all know what's coming next.

I really liked Jenkins pulling McClean away from Crighton - showed a lot of footy intelligence.

My favourite Panther right now.

If Jenkins played Origin right now he'd honestly kill it. One of the form players in the comp.

Garner always had fitness problems starting in the 2nd row, he is better now that he has been with us for 2 years but he just isn't a player with a naturally 'big motor'.

 

[John Hamblin]

Great win after a shit start to the season . How good is it!!!!!!!!!

 

[The Realist]

There is no need to do that. You can't play a season, half a season or even a third of one at that high intensity. They'd just burn out.

Better to save it for Finals and also 'Statement' games like Broncos and now Dogs.

Just need to harness a bit of that energy when we might find ourselves in a spot of bother.

Dogs had all the running, we just got in front and grinded it out. We had to keep them scoreless in the second half, so we just did it, no problem. Welcome back to 2024, like 23, 22, 21, we'll probably beat the Rabbits by 4, doesn't matter. No reason to think we'll lose again this season.

 

[soc123_au]

Great game. Edge defence was outstanding. Casey should get some confidence out of playing like he did opposite Critta.

 

[Alintheeast]

Great team effort season getting better for us bye next then Parra at Parra followed by 2 home games.

Yeah it's not there.

He did his job just like everyone else. But for a 5-10 minute period he was last onside everytime. Tricky period that we survived then he got benched.

Never mind home/away games.

4 games straight at Commbank. Its an absolute gift. I thought no home ground would ruin our season in 2025 but right now it looks like it will save it.

Yeah, we dont need to blitz them, but we do need to show enough to get results against them. We've completely failed to turn up against several teams of this quality throughout the year and we still dont have the luxury of dropping too many games, particularly with our tough run home.
