Round 26 v The Eels

[Girds89]

That’s not a minimum, that’s the Average, I get that you can use google.

Do you need me to explain what Average Vs Minimum is??

Wait for the scan results and take it from there.

You really are a fickle sort of dude.

Ok...

I hope you are right supercoach.

If you are... f**k yeah...

Again... missing my point and (short) posts...

Ivan needs to plan for without him cause it's highly likely

I think finishing 2nd and avoiding the Storm is a positive.
Remember the Storm but almost lost to the Dragons if not for goal kicking. One loss with a bunch out doesn't derail a season.

To much doom and gloom from the newer supporters..Trying sitting on the eastern side when it was a hill knowing we would lose before the game started but still here years later enjoying the ride
The upside of the loss is we look like a home game against the warriors with the bronc getting the storm .Would not be surprised to see Melbourne knock them over

Gutherson and Dylan Brown had great games. Penrith where flat. Also two try saving tackles at key moments by the Eels.

If you look at some of the tries ask yourself are they scored had players missing been in? One where Guth burnt Peachey deff isn't.
Bar Moses it was Parra best side all year. Fully fit they are a strong side and beat plenty of other sides tonight. Penrith had Edwards,Tago,Turava,Kenny,Sorenson all missing and Luai out after 25 mins. And nothing bounced Penriths way. Nathan couldn't kick a goal either.

I feel Penriths attacks been flat all year but tonight the defense just had no energy. Even without Jerome I wouldn't write them off completely. Hopefully first week is against the Warriors. Then rest up. Storm and Brisbane may still have some bad luck with injuries over the next few weeks as well.

The side I feel is really starting to make noise are the Knights. Bit of a smoke and behind the top 3 they are my 4th pick.

I had a quick look at the stats. Penrith won most of them. But take away 2 or your spine, then add in another injury. It was always going to be a struggle.

The ball tonight didn't bounce Penrith's way either tonight.

Hopefully Luai's injury isn't as bad as first thought.

Thankfully the Eels don't make the finals.

Jesse was fine. He didn’t cost us the game.

4 tries to mika sivo says otherwise, every one of them, jesse jumps the gun goes early, to'o gets stripped, has to go early too, sivo is free on his own.
We lost coz mclean didn't hold long enough

 

[CCJohnC]

The writing was on the wall, as they say, as soon as Sivo scored his first try with no apparant defence adjustment afterwards. Therefore a further three. Unbeliable. I thought McLean did well. Sorry about Luai so presume Cogger at six. A lot of Parra defence seemed to be how long can we get away with laying on? Good old Cummins.

You are in no position to judge Ivan Cleary for Christ sake.

Every time I hear the old saying “Its better to be thought a fool, than open….” I think of you.

Niether are you...

Its a forum sweetie..

Suck on the bottle and back to bed lukey

He's 18. He was at fault but that's just growth. Nothing vindictive about it

Hey little bros

you’s must hugely disappointed after that effort especially since Eels were missing their halfback and fullback for most of the match

Don’t flatter yourself. I don’t really care so much about losing Parra, it’s the Broncos I’m worried about. The thought of them winning a premiership is far more scarier and realistic than the far fetched scenario of Eels winning one.

We want to win finals week one. That's the goal. If we lose we risk Luai and if we win and get a week off we risk him anyway. Neither are optimal.

Big test for us coming up. Exciting times.

We played poor tonight and the last few games

But no Edwards
No Turuva - So our sets started poor
Both centres not there.
Hooker - wraps up offloads.

So full strength we jag a win tonight...

Though we have a pissed off team of winners now, No one is still getting near us without Luai. So it allows us to not rush him

There carryon is almost amusing. Tonight wasn't Penrith's night. Game in reality means nothing. We have our home final. That's signed sealed and delivered.

The Luai injury though is a concern.

 

[Girds89]

I don't see blame Ivan in this.

Luai wasn't a predicted loss. Only Edwards. We are closer in this game if Luai stays out there.

We were never in it tbh

Side note.

What's the story with nsw cup? If we make the finals where do we play?

Yeah his numbers were pretty good. Made a linebreak and saved a try, All part of developing

No too dark. Much too dark.

Eels aimed up they outplayed us. But their season is over. We have at least 3 more games to prove ourselves and I think we will.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

If Luai stays on. I predict we go close to running Parramatta down.

I love ur outright confidence... i could semi buy into at full strength

Luai out is huge tho..

Level playing field now for top 4 teams imo

Exactly… that’s why I’d never judge him.

Was at St Marys last year, Not sure the 17 that runs out will be good enough to get the win but see what happens

We aren't an individual heavy side, We need to lose several cogs to comeback to the field
