Round 2 vs Penrith

[Illusion]

All over Red Rover .......

Can someone explain to me why the ref pulled Lomax back when he took a quick restart at the 20m earlier in the half. Surely it wasn't because Penrith wasn't ready.

Rest, reset. Looking gassed after all that defence. Poor hands and errors compounding. Need to score first in the second dig. Mbye needs to be on to try to spark some options

Playing without a 5/8 doesn’t help!

Bad pass and hands. Lomax very off tonight

Because Penrith. That is all.

You hope against hope.
And reality checks in.
At 6-6 it was game on but went pear shaped.
55% completions .
As someone said.
Panthers attack 3 or 4 in a set of six and we usually wait till the last to do anything.
Only way we score us through individual brilliance.

 

[Red V for life]

That 10 mins with Su’a in the bin we had 7% of possession. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

We look like we’ve never met in attack. Besides a couple of complete brain fades in defence, it hasn’t been too bad.

Anyway, 2nd half we have to starve them of possession. Fingers crossed.

 

[thebigredv]

Refs absolutely awful no doubt. Inconsistent and one eyed.

BUT

I was looking for a professional performance from our team and it hasn't been there, disappointingly. Very poor ball security and lack of discipline which has been a characteristic of ours for quite awhile.

This game was (and may still be) winnable. Penrith don't look flash hot. At exactly the point we had a chance to grasp the game we capitulated again with some brain snaps and lost ball. If we are looking for something better in 2022 we are yet to witness it. Same old.

Physicality has been good from us at least. Forwards going well.

 

[St Tangles]

Some poor refereeing and poor ball control

Going to get pumped
No momentum

 

[Coffs dragon]

We always seem to never fail when it comes to disappointing performances on honouring legends.

 

[be55]

Well that was disappointing...

One positive i thought Molo's first 20 mins was very good. Some big defence and good carries...

Was worried about him fitness wise, because he has mostly come off the bench, but he handled starting well...

He'll be a good buy for us as the season progresses and his fitness continues to improve.

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Playing for Big Norm...hope its not another Thommo disaster

 

[thebigredv]

Nothing wrong with Sua Tackle

Just re-watched it on fox and you are correct.

Unfair decision which changed the game.

Mbye was good last week...

One sixth of a second late they said. WTAF?

 

[mickeylane]

Let me tell
You the bad news.. there’s no way the Panthers w remain scoreless in the 2nd half.. they’re forwards we’re always the dangers and we are being rolled

 

[SAP58]

Very poor refereeing but some poor defence from the Dragons as well. The sun bin was a ridiculous decision & changed the game, unfortunately the top teams get these calls, the refereeing options are very limited & this one is at the bottom of the pack.

 

[Evil Emperor Zurg]

Api being involved prevented Kerr scoring first go. Penalty try? Correct or not?

 

[Walpole]

Lacking confidence but still putting in. Penrith are the benchmark no doubt. Get stuck in for 40 minutes and make a game of it.
