Round 2 vs Newcastle

[PenrithPanther45]

We made that much harder than it had to be but boy am I proud of that effort. Maloney was just massive (obvious but needs to be said). Fix up the errors and penalties and bring on Storm.

idk how we win that. we had lots of chances to shut out the game and f**ked up but I'm happy with our defence. we got the 2 points and that's all that matters

Maloney was our worst and our best tonight. His defence at the end... what ghe actual f**k? That was other worldly shit. I honestly got no idea how to rate him after that. He put us under the pump many times. But he also f**king saved aus at the best possible time

Was about to post the same thing.

Terrible 40/20 plays just weren't required. Simple sets of 6 would have seen us run away with the game. Newcastle were gone.

Still, he was there for all the big moments and saved us. Great competitor.

RCG back for this game. Tamou great again. A lot of positive signs overall.

 

[Luke Bowden]

What issues that got shown up weren't there over previous years?

Only difference is no Moylan, Peachey or Kikau to save us

Is this a question or a statement?

Our back three had a bad Rnd1. No doubt.

But to say we have no firepower out wide, based on that is incorrect. In my opinion.

But you guys are free to hate on the boys all you like, I’d expect nothing less from the most fickle supporters I’ve ever come across.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Good to get the gorilla off the back for the 1st win of year.
Newcastle can be a tricky place to win.
Hopefully we can keep improving.

 

[Pomoz]

I think Cleary is so out of form it's not funny, his kicking was poor and he offered nothing in attack and yet has two assists, go figure..

 

[Munted]

We still look rusty close to the line, have been for years. Not dangerous enough.
I'm more confident of our chances from the half way line, looking forward to seeing big kikau back in action soon.

 

[TheFrog]

Fisher-Harris outstanding again playing the full 80. Tamou good again. Winterstein outstanding debut. Improved effort from RCG. Without Maloney we don't win, also Edwards very reliable at the back. Nathan needs to give his game more thought, he's a bit out of sorts.

 

[age.s]

Much better performance, but still some work to do. A few too many cold drops and dumb penalties.

Forwards were really strong. RCG finally put his money where his mouth was and Tamou had a very good game for the second week in a row. JFH looked much more damaging with the ball on the edges. Yeo was inspirational as usual.

I don't know what the hell to say about Maloney. Some utter bone headed stuff but that try saver on Lee was out of this world. I want to give him MOM but I feel dirty about it.

Cleary needs to improve. Ordinary game. Really isn't offering much atm.

Yep. He looks stale. Same old plays. Doesn't threaten anyone.

Firstly he needs to kick long more Hes been watching to many re runs of us under elliott To many straight up and down

 

[lsta5838]

Good to get the win, and to hold off a strong finishing Knights. A few bone-head kicks (thought Whare kicking it dead on 2nd last could have been a game turner).

Think Nathan must be playing with a bit of a niggle still.. he will find is straps (hopefully late Sep and early Oct!).

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Thought the reffing was good today. Should be said rather than only mentioning it to complain.

Reggie had his best game for 12 months. Tamou was also great. Loved the work of JFH too. Thought Winterstein will be also very good off the bench.

Gritty effort. Not a mean feat to win with a packed Newey crowd behind them too.

He was better than last week. Kicked for 2nd try. Just comming back from big ankle surgery. Give him time.

The Peach was dreadful today for the Titians. Poor positioning led to at least 2 tries for the sharks.

I thought they tried a bit too hard to get the home side up in the latter stages.

Cleary put JFH over for first try.
Cleary put kick in for MWZ bat back to Winterstein try.

What the f**k dcale is Nathan being rated on where people think he's shit? Last week heput Blake over the line also... not his fault Blake spilled it. He easily outplayed Jimmy tonight.

Jimmy gave away 3 penalties. A few 7 tackle sets..created pretty much nothing and his only saving grace was out of this world defence which Cleary does every week really.

Nathan seems to be almost hated now by fans.

Edit
Cleary gets 2 try assists credited for this game. 1 Linebreak assist. 0 penalties or deadkicks.

Jimmy 0 try assists. 0 linebreak assists. 4 penalyies give. 3 kicks gone dead.

I thought they tried a bit too hard to get the home side up in the latter stages.

100%, there was no penalty for an age in that second half then the final 10 minutes, newcastle offered nothing and refs just started nitpicking to let them keep the ball.

great win though, big statements from Maloney & RCG.

and winterstein grabbing a pie in his panther debut - congrats !!!! - and a very solid performance to go with it
