Nite Irene.

We needed to score 1st after halftime... add to that..they should have been a man down ( Crichton )...guaranteed one of our players knees in the head and its an automatic send off.... No benefit to us if he is suspended next week....

I hope we get better as the season progresses.... otherwise rinse repeat....

Hello darkness my old friend

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Illias another kick straight down a Dogs players throat.

I've said since day one Ilias is an absolute lemon and he's done nothing to prove me wrong this game.

Meanwhile Sexton is on fire. Can Cody Ramsey play halfback?

 

[St Tangles]

Reality check
We are still a bottom 4 team

 

[KingFlanno7]

We are cooked. 1st game of the year already turning it off, absolute joke.

Their linespeed is insane & quick legs in attack through the middle. Much more athletic team and its showing. Sloan on a wing won't change anything for us. Damage done in the middle.

I wasn't expecting a win today.
I thought it might be possible.

I certainly wasn't expected to be this embarrassed in the first round but I hope it sends a message of some kind to the playing contingent.

Dogs have belted us into 2026!

 

[Wolfgang90]

Need to get some offloads going. They're getting numbers in the tackle and slowing the ruck.

 

[Number of the Beath]

Little Penrith have inherited the Roosters sombrero and have been allowed to get away with high shots and mauling the tackled player for ever and a day.The scrum penalty was a bit of a signal that the ref was going to f**K us and we've assisted by f**king ourselves.
Still seems like there's no leadership on the pitch

 

[KingFlanno7]

Dogs are well drilled

we have many new players

our team combinations will improve as the season rolls on.

plenty to like

much to improve

Plenty to like? What positives do you take out of that game I'm intrigued

 

[thebigredv]

I mean I love a good celebration but has CT seen the scoreboard??? LOL

We have almost no line speed, not sure what the issue is

 

[Old Timer]

Plenty if forward passes from them several led to tries but regardless they should have scored anyway but rules are rules.

Too much right hand side play by us Holmes needs more clean ball

 

[KingFlanno7]

Diabolical, reserve grade standard performance today, that's all I'm saying see you all next week can't wait...

 

[carltonsouth79]

Kicking game has been poor

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Hunt gave Ilias some tips on how to kick before he left

 

[shiloh dc]

Ilias's kicking is making Ben Hunt's kicking look like Christian Ronaldo's kicking?

I said it was going to be a linespeed and cardio war and it has been. In the new era of endless six agains, being superfit is now more important than being big. A smaller pack is not a detriment if it is agile and can sustain a super workrate.
