Round 19: Other games

[Sensei Cobra]

Kikau ran at grahams inside shoulder and knocked him over. But its ok. Wasnt ok for us. I dont think either graham or reynolds would have stopped try, but interesting.

Yea was thinking the same thing very similar to our no try yet no review, not even a mention … i guess cause it’s the panthers so must be different

 

[Eelogical]

This game has fallen off the cliff.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Like a Gutherino?

Sorta

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Looked like a head clash

 

[strider]

I think Lara really likes Nicho. Then again who dosent. If he could develop a post try dance he'd be a superstar.

Pretty boy for a pretty girl

 

[strider]

I tend to agree in some ways, but I think the fact that Graham was 1 metre away from the tryline and Reynolds was more than 10 metres is the point of difference though. I'm fine with both decisions.

Yeah true

Agree ... tho you wonder if the player hadnt been "not his go" Funicane, they might have seen it different

 

[Eelogical]

"Any tackle you like" goes in this one.

 

[Chipmunk]

Hopefully this game has taken a bit out of the Panthers, they even get some suspensions and injuries.

But realistically, they've been fairly average, and I think they were saving themselves for next week to avenge the only team who has beaten them all year.

Just watched the Raiders come back from 0-14 and the Panffers from 0-10. Got back in the game by stiffening up their defence, sustained pressure with the ball, smart kicking games, no panic without the ball. Why, oh why cant we do this!

 

[strider]

Wtf was that from Jake the ken doll? .... some massive speil about "the premierahip" ... is he trying to steal matt nables job?

Ken Doll is "On Fire"
Fu*k of Merkin!

Because (rightly so) we no longer believe in the stiffness of our defence.

When it leaks like a sieve (as it has too often this season) we remain flaccid and panic, and can't seem to stiffen on command.

If Rabbitohs push on with this lead and beat the Storm, we drop to 7th.

Still with a 4 point buffer to the four teams lining up on equal 8th, but those 4 points can disappear in two weeks.

The shine is going off melbourne ... are they only missing Papen and Cheese? (and remis smith)

And Coates and Welch

And Coates and Welch

Ahhh yeah i was thinking winger but couldnt remember him

 

[Chipmunk]

I'm not sure who is more out of sorts at the moment, us or Storm. The Storm have the excuse of injuries at least. We're full strength.

Both teams losing a fair portion of their Top 20 core players next season though. Tariq Sims in for 2 Bromwich's, Kaufusi and Smith out doesn't seem to auger well for the Storm improving in 2023 though. Munster could be signed elsewhere for 2024 before Christmas too.

I said earlier today I think they're in all sorts. It's not out of the equation both sides could need to win in the final round to make the Top 8.

Oooooo Ken Doll has some new " must see tv" for us next week .... lol

I wonder if he will wear pants that fit for it?

 

[Chipmunk]

When was the last time we were outside the Top 6 except for a Round 1 on for and against?
