Round 17 Penrith V Brisvegas.

Ummm that knock on call makes me think they are being managed into the game.

 

[kinghippo]

Starting to get on top.
The forwards have been ball playing a lot, especially the fish. Very different approach.
Luai having a blinder, hopefully the rest of the team catches up

 

[Panther Pete]

Capwells first touch is a nice try!

 

[franklin2323]

The whole momentum changed when Tetevano came on

 

[Port Panther]

Tamou not needed now keep the kids thx.

 

[murraymob]

The game changed when Tetevano came on.He did what the other forwards where not doing run straight and hard.Last year we had a team of forwards standing wide all game .Again we keep falling into that trap

Crichton's man.

I meant the drop but yeah Crichton came in on Boyd.

2 slow starts. Wonder if Ivan is instructing them to arm wrestle for a bit.

Fully expected that the Broncos would start well. They've done it several times this year when they have good early possession. They've got talented players. But you'd expect this to be a blowout from here.

 

[murraymob]

Not sure if Cleary is playing injured but everything he is doing is well before the defensive line.I would like to see our forwards hit it up directly from api passes rather than a standing start from Cleary

I think Ivan is instructing them to manage the opposition....

 

[kinghippo]

Not seeing much backline play tonight.
Attack has been very ordinary really.

 

[WestyLife]

We look like last year. It's weird.

 

[The Realist]

I love Marto but gosh he gives away horrifically bad penalties that lead to tries. Recently he has mostly cut that shit out but it looks like it is back in his game again...

 

[franklin2323]

We look like last year. It's weird.

Short turnaround on show here but very ordinary

 

[Jane Murray]

I'm in the minority here, I think this is a good game, as it is testing us.

 

[Panfa]

Back inside back inside back inside what rubbish tactics is this tonight.very ordinary attack against a team that has been pumped each week.

 

[WestyLife]

I'm in the minority here, I think this is a good game, as it is testing us.

It's testing because Panthers aren't testing Broncos. Playing up the middle and backline plays are stopping at the second rower. The 2020 attack has been gone until that last try.

 

[franklin2323]

Basic errors are killing us tonight. That was poor

 

[kinghippo]

I'm in the minority here, I think this is a good game, as it is testing us.

Yeah it’s not terrible for us.
Broncos have played well, high completion rate and defended well.

 

[WestyLife]

Unpopular opinion:

Panthers have been outright horrible. They've completely gone away from what's worked in 2020. One try of a proper backline move for To'o all game. Everything has been like last year all in the middle third of the field. Tonight made us look like the worst of the top 4.
