Round 12 v Sharks

[Red&BlackBear]

Takeaways:
Luai - his best game in years.

Forwards - at their brutal best. Tackled hard, ran hard. Showed the comp why they’re the best in the business.

Edwards - another amazing performance. Give this man a representative jersey now.

Sorensen - best game all year, it was also a game where he looked comfortable and without niggle as well. Good to see.

Cole - best performance to date. I think he showed what he can do. Big upside.

Backs - I thought the back 4 (minus Edwards he has his own line) were all great. Made meters, their defensive system stayed in tact. This is what we been waiting for. Stand out of the 4 probably Turuva.

Defence - best all year. It was clinical and each player was always on alert.

Attack - best since Storm PF game last year. It was humming all game. Didn’t panic when they couldn’t cross the line in second half.

Last 5 mins - a couple errors to close the game out. I reckon the team would’ve been disappointed at that to be honest. A couple on reports which wasn’t good hopefully no one misses a week with the origin contingent out next week.

Best win of the year!

 

[Fangs]

Luai deserves particular praise. A criticism of him is that he is no good without Cleary.

He has stood tall recently.

Freddy Mercury summed up the Sharks "Yes we are the great PRETENDERS"

Awesome. Just awesome.

Like it was 2022 and we were brutalising some fringe bottom 8 numpties.

That’ll settle you all down. Ivan take a bow.

 

[Bred not Bought]

It sucks we aren't full-strength to put these cocky pricks in their place.

Turns out we didn't need to be full-strength to beat these pretenders.

Fantastic performance.
Great to see Cole staking his claim, he had some very classy touches.

Amazing what happens when Luai runs straight

 

[Thirsty Panther]

I'll admit that when Luia signed with the Tigers I was not that worried.
I thought his best years were behind him.
The last 2 weeks he certainly has played some of his best football and proved me wrong.
Hopfully that continues for the next 5 months.

 

[Whino]

Last week we were terrible. We needed to respond this week.

This bounce back exceeded my expectations.

Great team performance. Yeo is such a machine, didn't look even slightly tired in the post match interview.

 

[GongPanther]

We need to go on with this. Make a statement.

Keep them to zero

did you have 42-0. If you did, congrats on your $3k win.

 

[Panther Pete]

I have to admit I thought we were going to get done badly tonight based on how we had been playing recently. I would think that is our best 80 min performance for a year or so. It’s now given me confidence we can still turn it on when we need to.

 

[Munky]

Penrith only struggle against teams with a halfback who can play the grind

Moses and Reynolds can game manage. Thus we struggle regular season verse the Eels and Broncos.

Keary, Walker, Hynes, Munster, Hughes all have poor long kicking games.

Kudos to Jarome for showing he can grind when needed.

The best forward I've ever seen play this sport

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Hopefully Leota and Tago are sweet to play next week. I know it’s just the Dragons but the NSW Cup side has been playing like crap last 3 weeks and their best will be called up I’m sure.
