Round 13 - v Panthers

[BLM01]

That

That 40 - 20 where Sloan stepped out was a massive call

I looked at it again it was Ok
Anyway they should’ve had a player in the bin for a crushe and the one with held off the ball try scoring situation

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Told you it would take a miracle if we scored any points.....then again what the F!!! Would I know........ they had many out tonight and we had a few also but I would have to say that was the gutsiest effort I've seen from our blokes for many years.....tbh I wasn't going to watch the second half after they scored just mins before half time because I couldn't see where the points were coming from...glad I did

Yea he will be a good 14 i doubt hunt will move to 9 but funnier things have happened

Maybe they’ll put him on the wing to force him out of the club

Anyone able to give a recap of the game. Who were our best and how did Couchmans go?

Relentlessness won us that. We never shirked the hard grinding work in those conditions. Toby ran about 100m tackled plenty and as usual makes useful PCM, while Ryan was quiet and may find himself back in Ressies..

I don't have live coverage so follow the comments on the forum to get a gauge of how the game is going. FMD from some of the first half comments about reserve standard players to the comments at full time there must have been some miracles performed in the sheds at half time. Suddenly we have a new half that can push Hunt to no 9. Things are looking up. LOL

Mat Feagai!!! What a finish!

Thought the F boys went ok tonight

 

[baggygreen man]

Sione Finau waited too long to finally show what he can do. Will be a gun for us.

Tbh Kolum they deserved the negative comments at half time....think Flanno gave them a rocket...different team the second half

I agree I have big wraps on the kid

There should be a lot of credit to the young guys that came in, all of them, we bag them enough but we should also congratulate them when the are due.

I apologise for my posts after half 1.
But 2nd half we did enough to win.
First win without origin players
I'll take it

We were very clunky first half but our defence kept us in the game. Great win. Positive signs and gave Flanno something to think about for next week

sure will mate, saints played without hunt= we win

 

[justadragon]

My perspective from being at the game was, they were a shocker the 1st half, but they took the game on in the 2nd, so whatever rocket happened at half time it was well and truly deserved. I will watch the replay tomorrow but it seemed that penrith really made some mistakes in the second half and the Dragons applied way more pressure. The mindset of taking the game on was great. The young guys were great, both Feigai's and both Couchmans, Finau was good. We have some dilemmas for selection, I dont think Marshke will replace Hunt, but yeah a lot of food for thought next week. BTW Penrith fans dont like losing at home

Hunt to the Titans, Bird into KOE cup , Lawrie dropped and please tell them to hang off Leilua and Marriner hips for the pass please.

Doubt Mat Feagai at your peril, underrated player. Some really good tough carries + post contact metres and fast play the balls coming out of our half, squeezed in between defenders and of course a great try as well. The ridicule for him was always absurd

The usual 4 or 5 "antis" that bagged the team throughout the first half have mysteriously disappeared .................
Great 2nd half boys ... A1 Effort ...All the new bees performed extra well ..
Mat Feagai appears a lot more mature now and safe under the high ball
An alternative at 1 if ever Flanno wants to give Sloan a spell
Interesting selection headaches ahead this week
Lomax and Sua come back in ,barring injury Origin , oh and yes BEN ..........
Rava killed it in the twos and will be banging down the day for a return
Well done lads

 

[Gourley's Socks]

Great win. RFM had a wonderful night. T Couchman was a highlight too. Loved the intensity for that opening period of the second half.

And Marschke played well too...for about $800Kpa less.

Congrats to the team on a very solid effort.

First half was clunky, but I thought the effort was there defensively and the Panthers did have to work for the two tries they did score.

Second half we had all the running and when we managed to get a good run of possession we were able to put them under a bit of pressure.

Overall - it was good to see us go toe-to-toe and come up trumps against a genuinely great footy side, who are stacked with depth, on their turf. They had a host of players out, but we also had our top three out as well.

Again, we must stay grounded. Have to accept the fact that we are an inconsistent footy team and next week may not yield the same results as what we got tonight. I'm not getting excited that we are playing the Tigers at home in Wollongong just yet...

One step at a time - at least we've won more games this year than what we did last year.

Enjoy the win Red V faithful !
