Rd 2 2024: 8pm Penrith v Eels GAME DAY THREAD @ Bluebet Stadium March 15th

[hindy111]

*we have a dumb coach

15 men. Tired and leaves Hands on bench till 77th minute.

 

[Soto]

Dopey coach puts hands on with 3 to go...fkn genius

 

[hindy111]

Is that ofahengaue out there or moimosea?

He is rubbish. So is Harper. Lussick is a turtle also.

 

[Chipmunk]

Strange game.

Even though we led at half time it always seemed like the Panthers had the match in control.

We looked vulnerable everytime the Panthers had the ball. If the bounce of the ball goes the Panthers way a few times I think they likely put that game away alot earlier.

I don't think either team played their best, but the Panthers just did that little bit better when it mattered. We certainly had our chances, but couldn't deliver. Injuries certainly didn't help our cause tonight that's for sure.

Hopefully we learned a bit and got something out of it. We live to fight another day at least.

Russell needs to learn to catch bombs. Harper needs to learn a lot of things. f**king terrible

Harper needs to find his passport and go to England as he should have done

 

[emjaycee]

Come on mate, that was embarrassing. Not his fault, but I’ve rarely seen someone so out of his depth.

Not disputing that he was beaten hands down and embarrasingly, but we still defended those line breaks as a team and they scored once down there from 10 line breaks.

 

[Pazza]

great effort by the boys out there, the simonson HIA made the task almost undo-able. BA made it impossible

 

[Jake the snake]

Wayne Bennet come on down.

 

[T-Boon]

Looks like Handsy is getting the no game time or final 5 min treatment

If he moves on guess who the number 2 hooker is?

 

[Happy MEel]

I don’t think I can remember a game where coaching literally affected the result.

That was mind boggling.

 

[hindy111]

Sivo back, buy a quality centre, Grieg for Joe O and Morretti or Doorey for Tulagi.

 

[lucablight]

Don’t be fooled by the scoreline. This game wasn’t close. We were very lucky Penrith only completed at 68%. We completed at 84% yet still got monstered in the middle. If Penrith had a higher completion rate and didn’t bomb so many tries this would have been a flogging. I’m very disappointed in the coaching staff with our defensive structures. We still continue to give up so many metres when the opposition has the ball in hand and there’s no excuse for having such a lopsided territorial disadvantage with our forward pack. Here’s hoping the coach figures it out sooner rather than later.

 

[Matty Bhoy]

Seems like I’m the only one who seems positive after that haha. Great effort from the boys, bring on next week. We are shaping up for a big season.

 

[hindy111]

Oh and use Hands for 30mins. He has some spark. Lussick sniffles the attack close to the line to much,

 

[Tooooks]

It seemed like we were under the pump for the whole game but they showed a lot of spirit. This loss doesn’t worry me at all but I hope there’s an outside back signing coming up.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Tough game didnt have much go our way our D is a worry.

Probably the best quality standard overall match so far in the 2 weeks. No shame in losing that considering the calls we didnt get.

Not using Hands until the 77th min is a waste. Considering we basically played with 15 tonight with Simmonson gone after 2 mins.

BA needs to grow a set and fire a shot at the officials over some calls tonight. He has held himself back for 11 years may as well let rip its Round 2.

The likes of Bellamy, Cleary, Robinson and Stuart wouldn't have copped some of the calls we did without a cheap shot to the NRL in the presser.

 

[Jake the snake]

Our coaching and management have let us down.
Coaching - because the current moron doesn’t know what he’s doing and can’t coach in defence and won’t ever win a premiership.

Our management - because clearly they cannot identify talent. The lack of signings is pathetic.

 

[Soto]

At least rcg smashed that fwit fisher Harris...he is another epic fwit. Him luai and Edwards are 3 of the biggest fwits u will find

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Well losing to those scumming merkins is always tough but I thought the team played really, really tough. It just wasn’t our night from the first set.

 

[Jake the snake]

As long as we win the collisions guys. That’s all that matters. And as long as we had spirit that’s all that matters. FMD!
