Round 2 vs. Storm

[Panther Pete]

Storm get near our line twice and score twice. Matt Moylan could do with a bit of work on his defence.

 

[Panther Pete]

Naquaima bags a double!!!

 

[Panther Pete]

Second week in a row we give a penalty away on the half time siren to gift them an extra 2 points.

 

[betcats]

Pretty good half despite conceding three tries. John looks good I think and taylor.

 

[murraymob]

grant was fit just not selected

Not sure what Cleary is doing Plum and Kingston need less game time not more.We should be well ahead with the amount of ball we have had

 

[Thirsty Panther]

Idris is slow but hard to stop. We need to involve him more
in this half.

 

[Panther Pete]

Great defence to hold them out for 2 sets on our try line!!

 

[BxTom]

How many consecutive penalties did the ref give melbourne to get them in front? Was it 8 or 9 in a row? Then a couple of pathetic decisions thrown in. Disgusting.

[Panther Pete]

Bitterly , bitterly disappointed but we can take so much out of this game, we will beat a lot of sides this year. We got absolutely towelled in the penalties for the last 60 minutes and to come so close against the storm in melbourne means we should be very proud of the boys.

 

[mxlegend99]

Great game and we were the better team. Refs were the difference. We're a top 8 side for sure based on this game.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Thought Segeyaro and Peachey were awesome off the bench. Idris solid in his first hit out. All up, a performance full of spirit, which is encouraging.

The less said about Brown, the better though.

 

[umina panther]

Great game.

Brown out Cartwright in and we got dis

 

[soc123_au]

Great effort from the team & a cracker of a game.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Another thing that stood out was our handling was generally excellent, bar Moylan and Brown in their one-off incidents. I'm so used to us dropping the ball cold from time to time.

 

[murraymob]

great effort from the boys.We where close .This team will continue to improve as they get more game time together.lots positives out of the game

 

[soc123_au]

Peachey & Taylor were both excellent today. Idris will be better for the run as well.

 

[Panther Pete]

Based on that effort, I would be happy to see a lot less of Brown and Moylan didn't exactly set the world on fire. I thought Wallace , John's, Peachey and Segs were all fantastic but it was our overall enthusiasm and commitment that makes me certain we are in for a good year.

 

[what ever]

With Soward, I doubted we would win. Without him, we definitely don't.

Wow what a game!!! Don't think we miss him at all. Storm would of been running at him all the time.

 

[soc123_au]

@ Pete, I thought Moylan looked pretty good. Brown I agree with, he tries too hard I think.

 

[chrisD]

The momentum we would have had with Grant and Manu would have made all the difference. Attack didn't start well but that was cos our forward momentum was weak and compounded by the refs letting them lay all over us. Refs won't let that go for other teams and Grant and Manu will be harder to put down. Whare was poor defensively but we were still short on numbers on two of the tries, woefully so, and the right hasn't been tested. Edge defence still a concern. Segs, Moylan and Peachey great, and we would of won if not for that make believe forward pass call.

Didn't particularly miss Soward.
