Round 13 vs. Dargons @Bluebet

[Panther Mike]

Tago should walk home in the rain and never come back to First Grade. There are a few others who were horrible too in that second half but I’m sick and tired of him this year. His attitude is garbage.

Tonight is also why I really dislike State of Origin, at least in the format in how it is run and how it artificially weakens teams.
Last week’s great win should have been built on but then we are forced to play a bunch of nuffies and it really comes down to random luck on the night, especially in the rain.

Our season could easily be ruined by Origin this year because our depth isn’t anywhere near as good as it used to be.
That said a 12 point loss to a shit Dragons team at home is a disgrace and they should apologise to the fans who had to watch clowns like Tago do multiple brain dead plays in the rain.

f**k Origin.

Admittedly missing Hunt and a couple of others, but if the Dragons couldn't beat Panthers with 8 or whatever it might be out, they likely never would have.

Painful commentary to sit through particularly in that second half. Even more painful watching Dragons celebrating after the siren.

Not sure when our next matchup is but looking forward to it at something closer to full strength.

McLean looks the goods. Riki not so much. Geyer a few chances now without showing much.

Riki won't play first grade again.

And my God the commentary. "This is so unpenrithlike!"

Yeah no shit we had 2/3 of our cap out.

 

[WestyLife]

f**k Origin.

That wasn't origin that was attitude. Second half they just went to sleep.

 

[Iamback]

The forwards where poor and that’s being kind.with no Yeo we still try to play that style but Lindsay smith is a draught horse slow as anything not suited to that role
Tough to blame the halves when there getting nothing up front .Hopefully a few back next game

We made 1 interchange by halftime. Our 2nd change was to bring Toletau on at hooker, That is never going to win games doing that.

It is no wonder our linespeed and basics fell away so much

Of course it was Origin. We should have done better regardless but all this period of the year does is tells us where our cup team is at.

Not so good this year it turns out.

 

[Port Panther]

ivans half time talk put them to sleep .

Not sure Origin guys make a difference there. Just too tired our lack of depth is getting shown up big time.

NSW Cup has lost 4 in a row into that woeful performance

You don't think Hunt, Sua and Lomax playing helps them?

Our poor bench and senior guys let the side down

 

[Panther Mike]

If NSW get flogged and they drop several Panthers after Game 1 it won’t bother me the slightest.

[Chins get the wins]

Tago is in horrible form, but honestly who is ahead of him?

Doesn't matter he can't just continue to go unpunished

 

[Michael Matral]

Positives..McLean was great, Toelau solid, Alimoti some good carries and strong try, Cole..continues on a good trajectory. Our full-timers, particularly Leota, Tago and Fish..need to reset before the back half of the year..they were disappointing..paying the price for our success again at origin time..Cleary, Laui, Edwards, Yeo, To'o and Martin out is just a bridge too far..especially in the wet..

Flanagan absolutely had the better half time talk. 0-22 second half shows that.

Wet weather footie is so different

Bird and Sele also missing

 

[Fangs]

Doesn't matter he can't just continue to go unpunished

It does when the next bunch up aren't doing it better.

He is 100% a first grade player for 2024. Taylan May's case has confirmed it.

 

[Iamback]

Bird and Sele also missing

I forgot about that.

Others who would in a hypothetical full strength side help
