Everyone else is lucky they got us on a bad day though, so it all evens out.
Newcastle put 32 Manly just last weekendBe honest with yourself. Penrith played like shit against us mate. Worse they've played in a long time and we scraped home. Now they are getting it on and putting 40 on Manly.
So Ricky away from home no Wighton and Tapine there best two players Cotric or Savage and beat Brisbane at full strength.
I just feel we would never be able to do this. Imagine us without Moses, Jnr, Sivo and Penisini playing them in Brissy.

We match up well with Penrith it was a high quality game and thankfully we got the win.
Penrith have put the cleaners Manly and Canberra for the past 5 years.
Outside of the GF day Penrith haven't really put us to the sword in many games since they became the force they are.
Game was tight until moses went off.Semi final few weeks before.
Game was tight until moses went off.
Penrith were just on top.
But if roles were reversed and cleary got knocked out at that moment who knows.
We saw last year cleary got sent off and it took 40 mins for Penrith to get settled without him out there while we piled on 5 tries.
They where just wearing us down. Game plan. Then turned up the heat and crushed us. Classic Ivan Cleary game plan mate.
Yep, Canberra’s lucky they got them on a bad day.Brisbane looked like they just needed to turn up to win tonight.
Apart from their Panthers win in Round 1 they haven't really impressed.
Non-elimination game. The final the previous year was a better indicator. Neither team backing up after Townsville.Semi final few weeks before.

Yeah. I reckon Tom Humble could have been another if given a decent chance. Then he got that damn calf injury and the rest is history.I know Fogarty didn’t work out for us and please know I’m not calling him a star. But he has turned in to a proper first grader. I’d assume he costs nothing which paves the way for a superstar or big dollar 6. He defends well and works hard. Props to him for never giving up.
I’ve heard stories about his suspension. I feel sorry for him and it explains a lot about that period for the club.Yeah. I reckon Tom Humble could have been another if given a decent chance. Then he got that damn calf injury and the rest is history.
It was “meant to be” for us, because we got Mitchy. Agree that Jamal has blossomed, it’s just a shame for him that he’s nearly 30. Happy for him. Just don’t get on Ricky’s wrong side Jamal (George Williams, John Bateman, Charnze Nickel Clock-Stand etc etc).I know Fogarty didn’t work out for us and please know I’m not calling him a star.

Didn’t he go to the Tigers after us ?I’ve heard stories about his suspension. I feel sorry for him and it explains a lot about that period for the club.
Yep career killer like the other 70-80 odd players who have gone there in the last 12 years.Didn’t he go to the Tigers after us ?
