Round 19 Vs Sharks

[Kilkenny]

It's very easy to look at numbers but he wasn't his usual self

We’re you at the game?

Seriously, if you were which I doubt, you clearly missed the intensity of which this game was played at.

His metres out of our own end against an really committed defence we’re enormous. From the comfort of your lounge room perhaps he May have appeared lethargic, but it certainly didn’t appear to me watching the game at the ground.

Doubt you'll find a bigger To'o fan around then me but he wasn't his usual pinball self.

This was a "bad" game from him which is still better than 99% of wingers to ever lace a boot

Interesting line up next week unlikely Crighton play and kikau May face a charge from the match review committee.lets hope the try anyone not Jennings he was bad last time in

No reason Critter misses a game. Very easy to strap that up

His ear is split he is off to see a plastic surgeon why risk playing him.you called for players being rested .We are 10 points clear no use risking further injury

Watched on tv

Sometimes watching on TV offers a better perspective.

I understand watching at the game is an entirely different beast.

Without knowing his stats until Alice posted them I just thought Brian was enourmous all night.

 

[Abacus]

To'o was holding his shoulder about 20-25 minutes in - could've just been a burner though.
Remember he picked up 40 metres or so from the intercept but I generally agree he's appeared a little less impactful than last year. Also a tough job when the quality attacking opportunities are on the other side of the field.

 

[Murraymob1]

Just sit back and enjoy the victory it could be worse poor ryhno is not even old enough to have seen parra win .Hindy has stated he will go on his first date when parra wins the comp poor bugger might have to become a priest
Up the panthers 10 points clear

 

[WestyLife]

Never like to knock the champion but To'o looked off. Is he carrying an injury?

He looked good but not explosive.

It was a good tussle to watch live. First 20 mins scrappy but apart from that it was a solid grinding win in difficult conditions against a pretty resilient team. Watching live I appreciate all the more how much we’ll miss Kiks and Api so we need to cash in this year.

Foughts From Fangs:

Typical 2nd gear performance from penrith.

Was at the game. Thought the Sharks played very well but they are pretty much like the other 14 teams in the competition. None of them play 80 minutes like Penrith can.

Arrogant? Yes. Correct? Yes. The only one beating us in 2022 is ourselves.

Performance was too be expected, given all the Origin guys didn't train.

Hopefully we have more attack that we aren't using, We are very predictable

I won't go that far yet.

Cows and tonight was very similar, lots of ball and struggled to score. Need to find another gear or 2

 

[The Realist]

WTF are people watching? Nathan MotM? His decision making was awful most of the game. Several awful bombs reminiscent of SOO3. Took a wrong option many times including several Tackled on 5th runs. Didn’t take the kick to go up 16-10. We looked disorganised for most of the game.

What I can say about Nathan is that his defence was awesome all game, forcing several knock ons, his short kicking game was good and he got better as the game progressed…but let’s not beat around the bush here…he and the team were carried by API’s game play tonight.

I watched the game live after now watching the replay the Moylan try was no try he was short .at the ground I thought apart from the first 20 we controlled the game penrith style.By that I mean we grind and strangle the other team out of the game
As Kilkenny said the tv does not always show the dominance we had.penrith never panicked just trusted the process..At half time the sharks walking off where high five each other and celebrating.i knew we had them

True. He took his hair out.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Kenny is a fine 14 but he'll never be a 9

I think Kenny is coming on really nicely. Last week was a strong game and he stepped up when the game was there to be won. He is improving all the time. Needs to work on his marker defender, but that will come with fitness. Api is obviously better but over the next few years he will be an above average hooker in the league.

Relatively relaxed about losing Api (three years on big coin is what desperate teams offer to over 30ish hooker) but geez it would have been great to get Brailey; he showed how much class he had tonight.

Yeo also hit him high so it was a penalty try anyway
