Round 24 v Roosters

[snickers007]

That white jersey really exposed what RCGs biggest issue at the moment is. Dude looks like he's swallowed a small horse. He's at least 7-8kgs overweight.

Not much else to say about the game, except Cleary threw at least 4 bad hospital passes tonight and another couple of balls that missed the mark entirely. He looks clueless at the moment. And Jimmy is just a small, frustrated man who does more harm than good.

There was a passage just after half time which typified us. Roosters came down with a bomb a few meters out from their line. Morris gets a one out pass off the next play and goes 20-30 meters. We then give away a penalty. Contrast that with the Roosters who were set almost instantly in the same situation and pinned us in our 10 for a few tackles with very quick line speed. Yes they're more skilled and better coached, but stuff like that is conditioning and desire. They got back on their line and up off it orders of magnitude quicker than we did. We're so far off the pace in that area it's depressing, particularly given it was such a strength of our in recent years.

Good f**king riddance to a shithouse season. We've played like a bottom 4 team for most of the year and the ladder probably isn't a true reflection of how ordinary we've been. I'd say bring on 2020 but it's hard to feel optimistic about anything at this point.

If dean whare plays another 1st grade game cleary should just leave the club.

I think the whole club should leave the club.

Looks like Jimmy has recently been told its Nathan's team. And it hasn't been enough to save our season.

Won't be his problem anymore. In 2020 its going to be the Nathan Cleary show. Looking forward to it.

Also got Lui at five-eigth with Nathan as well

Is tamou signed for next year?

 

[franklin2323]

The biggest issue is the defender just turning his back. If he tried to tackle and couldn't fair go to him but he was rewarded for turning his back!

He hits the ground same result

Yeah, definitely why the team misses the finals, getting too many penalties in the opposition 20. Absolutely delusional.

I didn’t say that it cost us a place in the finals, but getting quick play the balls in the 30 with an upset defensive line is easier than continually getting penalties and having a set defensive line. There is a reason the Roosters and Storm give away more penalties than anybody else, and this is one of them! Other teams try it and get sin bins, but not them!

 

[Devilous]

It's like they go into this shell run one up as hard as you can

Unfortunately unless Trent Barrett is the Jesus Christ of attacking coaches I feel we are in for more of the same next year

And once again 50/50s seem to go to the top teams. This has always been the case, but it gets terribly frustrating if you aren’t one!

This. People on here like to call out individuals but this is exactly how it has been all year just dumb plays after dumb plays

Did you even see Maloney tonight? He was barely there.

Forget the 6, its Nathan's team. They'll chop and change the spine all year to find something that works for our boy wonder.

All that demonstrates, once again, is how utterly shit the Panthers’ attack is. Other teams score with repeat sets. Penrith still couldn’t break a line in a nightclub toilet.

Introduce Whare to the CC coach, Naden is the DUMBEST footballer I have ever seen, Katoa and Egan are hopeless [so Api must be an improvement] RCG and Fish have put on some Kgs. There does not seem to be any plan in attack or defense.

Imagine making so many excuses for a pathetic, insipid team.

 

[DaveMc]

Kikau should be released now, no point in making him waste his career surrounded by a bunch of losers as he will if he sees out his contract.

Everyone on Reddit commented Egan made us look better lol. If he had support on his run we score.

 

[GongPanther]

I can't be hard on the side...especially due to the kind of sport they play. But without having quite a bit of the run on squad from the start of the season, and all the other off field shit did unstable this club to the core.

If Tyrone May is found guilty, this season is on him, if it wasn't already. I don't want him anywhere near Penrith if it is the case.

 

[forby]

I’m not making excuses just venting!
I’m frustrated with decisions such as the Cleary no try, the To’o play the ball etc. Most of the time it has no effect on the result, but like tonight, 12-12 at ht and it could be a different game.
The Roosters deserved to win, but they still seem to get a lot of things go their way!

Our senior guys have killed us tamou maloney whare f**k them all off

Tamou played his heart out., as most of the side did. We were up against a Ferrari compared to our Holden.
