Felt more like Parra v Panthers 2020-2022.
Oh well, wasn't guaranteed then.
I totally respect Penrith because they have lost so many players without adding anyone off note
I must have dreamt multiple games between Penrith and Parra a few years back where defence was impeccable.
Yes but it was usually only for one week. Nrl is about week in week out and next man up
I'm going to go out on a limb, and with an 11 year sample size say that I don't think adding a steely defence is BA's biggest strength...
Yep, we dodged two bullets there.
BAs issue was he didnt get the right man in to fix the defensive problem
Nah. We were a pretty solid team during that period. Dogs at the top of the ladder at the moment, but they don’t have to deal with the Panthers and Storm of 4-5 years ago. We did and had a commendable record against both during that period.
He did shit all tonight.
He was too busy front loading the effort areas
Whilst that’s 100% the truth, I think we’re already ahead of where the dogs were in Ciraldo’s first year where many were questioning if he was the right choice and would get through a second season. I’ve always said Ryles will be judged on years 3 and 4. I’m excited to see where we are in 24 months, but our R&R team need to get a handle on things and be able to sell the club to prospective recruits -something the dogs team have no trouble doing it seems
