Panthers have been poor and given us enough opportunities, but our pedestrian, predictable abysmal attack has been pretty easy to handle for their defence.

We gave them one opportunity and they make the most of it.

I can't see us being able to go with the Panthers if they hang onto the ball. If they go back to making errors we should be in the contest.

Penrith are so far ahead of us it isn't funny. If they held onto the ball it would be 20 or 30 to 4.

Our execution and want (for the ball) is appalling.

Panthers run away with this easily in the 2nd unless we start playing smarter and wanting to support the ball runner!

The ref is f**ken horrible in his policing of the ruck. He has gone into the game with the expectation panthers are perfect.

Apart from laying in the ruck there was at a good 5 occasions when we “won” the ruck and had the right for a quick ball, but panthers just holding onto the ball/arm. And not 1 set restart. Terrible!! And Panthers get 5 or so!!

Panthers have had barely any ball in front of the Eels goal line, less possession and have completed at 63% yet still lead by 2. Very frustrating that we have to dominate them territorially to even stay close on the score board.

They've made some unforced errors, but they have made plenty of forced errors, too.

They're the better side - of that, there can be little debate -, but we are in this.

But I agree - our attack needs a lot of work.

Attack is looking a little clunky, but overall, I'm happy.

Poor effort from Papali'i to hand them a try, but overall, we look pretty good.

But that attack needs to change.

It was a bad pass by Gutherson in lead up. They've dropped a lot of ball. Our packs been on top. We should be infront by 10 at the break imo.
Lets see what happens in 2nd half. We need to come out of our shell. We do it against all the top sides. Play far to safe.
