Round 25 v Manly

[Thirsty Panther]

I heard he was in the mix for the Newcastle job.

Decided to stay and win a few premierships with the Panthers first

They also finish FIVE wins c!ear of 2nd by belting 2nd place with half their team out.
I have little doubt these guys would beat the Canberra and Tigers rabbles playing at the moment.

Anderson didn't play so he'll obviously take Latimore's spot. Looking forward to see him going around. Also no Eisenhuth. Wonder what's up with that.

 

[greynurse]

Wow! I thought for sure we would lose this game. Garth Brennan is a genius coach. He must surely get a gig in first grade at some point.

I must agree. Everything he touches turns to gold . This is no coincidence. Players must want to play for him. Example was last year when he came back to the 20's they were struggling then he came back and got them moving in the right direction. If I was a raiders, tigers , dragons or knights I would be looking closely due to his resume alone.

The Roosters did us a big favour tonight by beating the Storm. No worse than fourth going to the last round. The stuff dreams are made of!
Suck on that Broncos2010, Rothfield and all you other Penrith haters!

 

[Puntastic]

Did Moseley play? Or is he injured? Foster?

Might give us a hint at who will play tomorrow.\

Edit: Papers saying Moseley. Will be interesting.

Foster was named at 9 and played. Moseley was named in 20s.
Your right though, papers are implying Kieran is in. Hope it's chicko though of course

It might just be me, but I refuse to brag about a Roosters win and we don't even play. Seems weird to essentially say "Ha, in your face, another team beat one of our possible rivals for fourth (who we lost to last week comfortably), we are the greatest." Would much rather the Panthers did the talking themselves.

Anyway, hope Moseley has a big game tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing him play.

What is the difference? Either way you are taking credit for something you played no part in.

 

[Blues Riff]

I was pretty happy with the Roosters win too. All the hard work's still in front of us though.
Those who think they can predict the future of the Panthers, fail to take into account that other teams are going to have off days too (like Manly today).

 

[forby]

I am not saying we are the greatest, just that at the start of the season if anybody said we would be in the top 4 going into the last round we would have said "you're dreaming!"
But I stick by telling Rothfield to suck on it!
16s, 18s both Grand Finalists, St Doms GIO Trophy winners, St Pats GIO finalists, 20s in the 8, NSW Cup minor premiers, and first grade in the 4.
Not a bad year so far! Why shouldn't we feel proud!

 

[forby]

Any scores from the 20s?

 

[Copperhead]

Manly 10 - 6 at halftime.

 

[Copperhead]

Penrith 24 - 16 with 15 min to go.

 

[Copperhead]

Manly score twice in the last 5 min to win 28 -24.

 

[maple_69]

God they've had a choke.
Obviously its not our stronger age group of juniors and losing guys like DWZ and Moseley doesn't help but pretty poor season. Not sure Barrett is the man for the job..

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Very disappointing. I've never seen Manly play as bad before.

I wouldn't be shocked if we didn't win again this season.

 

[TheFrog]

The last half hour was more like a semi final, Manly stopped making errors and we didn't, and we just couldn't hold on in the last seconds. A heartbreaking loss. Plenty of mistakes but everyone gave their all I thought. Hope they can get up for the Warriors next week.

 

[Panther Pete]

That is a terrible loss considering we were up 22 - 6 in the second half. The warrior just won by 42 points so who knows what will happen next week.

 

[Sime_11]

man who's dick do we have to suck to get a fair game, refs rode manly home there, pretty obvious now that no one wants penrith in the finals this year....
