Rd8 Panthers game day thread

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

While Badger didn't help, the big reason Penrith got back into things in the 2nd half was that we completed 3 from 8 (before the Jennings 'knock on'.....I actually thought he'd pinged Alvaro for not playing the ball properly....but he missed that and found something that didn't happen).

Another scrappy hard fought win, happy to take the two points and move on


Thought the scoreline flattered Penrith we were comfortably the better side, only our mistakes and the referee's got the Panthers back into the game. They are dreadful ATM, Moylan is the softest player in the comp by a mile

Can't be arsed reading the rest of the thread, so can someone summarise just how bad the refs were today?

they pinged a player for knocking on who never touched the ball with his hands
says it all really

 

[eel01s]

Yeah we copped a few dodgy calls but gee we lack game management skills. Why do we always seem to have a dumb 30 minute period where we can't complete a set?

I was, however very happy with our defensive effort today. Looks like the forwards had a rocket put up them finally.

What about Cartwright?

 

[hybrideel]

I think that's the Panthers main weakness. The players are fine and happy to do the fancy stuff but none can get into a grind and fight out a win.

they are like the warriors winning by itself is not enough they have to look pretty doing it

He's the second.

Sums up why they are where they are, Wallace is the only merkin with some ticker.

Reagan Campbell-Gillard goes alright as well for a young bull.

Your lot were saved by Penrith's poor ball handling in the final quarter of the game and nothing else.

our completion rate is a massive concern at the moment
i foolishly thought we had fixed it when we got away to that good start in the first half playing with composure and finishing our sets but bad habits started creeping back in

What a stupid comment. The only reason "your lot" were in the game at all was because of our poor handling and shocking refereeing calls throughout the entire second half. We belted you guys and the score thoroughly flattered your rubbish effort.

lol, it was our shitty handling, shit game management and a 5 nil penalty count that got you back into it.

It was 18 nil before we decided to go full genius. We weren't flash but your mob were down right rubbish. Both teams won't make the 8.

 

[Twizzle]

some of the worst reffing I've seen for a while, I'd say the badger wont be reffing the NRL next weekend

fortunately it didn't cost us the game

Don't mind Kermit, he's an expert on stupid comments.

we are getting every piggy back we can to win this... and still can't

It cancelled out our own poor handling but did nothing to make up for the refs wanting to make a game of it. They should have blown a lot more penalties against your lot.

Old Penrith Panther 45 nailed it, poor bitter old Kermit.

Sorry, had work. Good game though, definitely not the Panthers' year.
