Apparently players having instincts and refleces are a result of our coach.

How can people not see that there's no gameplan at all?

But it seems to be the result of the coach when the players instincts/reflexes results in an error ? Yeh?

f**k me you constantly whinge, it's embarrassing. If you can't see the improvement in our side, why bother watching?

Man I stopped reading this shit after page 8... how anyone can somehow turn last nights game into a negative is beyond me. It doesn't surprise me the couple who are doing it though.

Putting everything down to 'Individual brilliance' is an absolute cop out to the team, coach and the club. Especially when every individual mistake is solely the fault of the coach apparently.

Our attack inside the 20 is improving steadily. We created a ton of overlaps & isolated their spot players constantly last night. Moylan took the wrong option at least 3 or 4 times which cost us points but as much as I like to put the boot into him at times, he just had an off night given how long he's been out. I still think we looked a lot more threatening with him at 5/8th. We could of won by 20+ last night but the cows were ridiculous in cover defence in the second half.

We are fit, tough, mentally strong & are looking more & more dangerous with the ball every week. Love watching us play over the last month.

It'll be a tough game next week but I can't see any reason why we can't win and have a crack at the top 4.

Moylan got a heap more early ball out to Peach which was good. We can beat any team in the finals except for Melbourne. We could also easily lose to all of them

Its the coaches fault that we rely on individual brilliance. On the one hand its great that our blokes seem to be allowed to play what they see... so long as they arent kicking in goal.

If you have an issue with other peoples opinions. Why bother reading them? Cowboys were missing a bunch of players going into this game. Lost 2 during the game and we still struggled to get the win.

If Cleary doesnt come up with the tackle of the season we probably go on to lose... again individual brilliance.

Happy to be winning..but we are struggling to do so because the team just goes with whatever. The better the opposition. The less effective that is.

We could beat Storm if they were missing 2 of their Origin spine players though.

I think they have had atleast 2 of the 3 in every game we have played. Smith alone just controls every game we play against them. We are easy to beat when the only gameplan on field is his. Being the ref aswell doesn't hurt.

Pamfas! Clap clap clap.

Getting used to the fact that 2017 is an extremely soft comp. I don't think we are playing very good football. But as I cast my eyes over the ladder I realise most of the competition isn't either.

Melbourne heads the back, tailed by the Broncos. Roosters/Sharks on their day are a chance. Then there is an absolute grand canyon between the rest of the sides. So many also-rans this year.

Shout out to J.Tamou who I thought had a strong game. Outshone by RCG obviously though.

Moylan struggled a bit last night. I thought Cleary did as well. Not from lack of trying, but they are both going to have to be much better in the comming weeks.

RCG was huge tonight. I hope he keeps it up.

My observstions.
Tamou and Rgc where great. As where both wingers.

Wallace killed momentum trying to dive over from dummy half a few times.

May added something. What im not sure but something. Looked dangerous.

Edwards - Isnt brilliant but he runs hard and fast. Moylan will love him up middle with tired forwards.

Yeo , Chn are superior to Cartwright. How 12 mths changes a players career.

Peachey...... To side ways for mine. He is a centre and make good dummy half runs. I prefer centres who run straighter and harder. He did pull off some ripper tackles.

Its a typo obviously.

Moylan was there to receive the ball. Cartwright chose not to pass it to him and you're trying to blame Moylan for it... that's beyond f**ked up.
Thats your opinion but he never at any stage wanted the ball in that situation

Wrong... yours is the opinion. You have noidea what he wanted... him being there in support goes against your theory that he didn't want it. As does his history of never shying away from getting the ball on the last.

The FACT is he was there in support. The FACT is that Cartwright chose not to pass to him. Your OPINION is Moylan didnt want it.

If you have an issue with other peoples opinions. Why bother reading them? Your words not mine .like I said before if he wanted the ball then he should have been there but he wasn't ,case closed.

I was watching the 03 season highlights the other day and it's actually crazy how different it was than we remember it.

There was a lot of games where we had soft tries against us through the middle and there was more games where we'd go down by 14 points or so then grind ourselves back into the game(Manly(a), Parra(h), Brisbane(h) and etc).How can you forget when us beating Manly or not hinged on a Manly sideline conversion after we had shocking defence off a drop out.

Before some moron twists what I say and thinks I said we are no worse than he 03 team, let me just say there are more similarities between both sides than it may appear.We're not better, not close.But whenever we win there'll always be sprinkles of shit to pick at in the process.It's Penrith DNA to never have a 100% perfect win, it will never happen.

So in saying that, I'm just happy we've won.We've dragged Cowboys down into the top eight fight which is great for us.Another team we could finish above means our finals chances get that bit better.

We had the opposite problem then. Defence was ordinary and attack great not much structure though. Preston and Wesser just blew teams away

Ive got no issue with your opinion. I have issue with you stating it as fact when theres no evidence that backs it up.

He WAS there. Cartwright just didn't pass it to him. He cant make a player pass to him. All he can do is be there ready for it and he was.

And In my opinion he never called for it and Bryce took the option he thought best at that stage

Good win given it pretty secures our finals spot. We got lucky the cows couldn't keep a fit side on the field tho imo.

Peachey was f**king awesome, great game. I think it was molyans worst game of the year.

They should make the only focus this week getting a kick away, how hard is it to address that??

Why do you bother coming to these forums? You literally are just whinging about what other people post 90 percent of the time. People have opinions that differ to yours learn to deal with it instead of posting the same "i can't believe how negative you are" blow up every week. It's very tired and it just leads to the same argument over and over.
