Round 5 v NQ

[Panther Mike]

No excuses for that loss either. Not a lack of effort but a lack of IQ or ability to make the right decisions under pressure. Injuries haven't been too kind but the errors by Smith, Eisenhuth, Tago etc are unforgivable.

Every team lifts for us and gives us something close to their best to have to overcome and we are not rising to challenge anymore due to all the dumb low IQ footballers costing us games and the injuries mean these nuffies don't get dropped.

While not an excuse for tonight's loss, I still think the decision to rebuild Penrith while we have/had a winning team was stupid because we now have no home advantage at Parramatta. It is an awful, plastic stadium with no heart. I have never felt any excitement while going to it the few times I have.

He offers not being a blackhole that sucks up all the attack.

Not sure what Ivan thinks Schneider offers. Especially to drop Blaize after our last good effort this year.

If you have watched Mighty ducks.

The attack resembled the flying V, Blaize's speed and offering something different will help

 

[PennyPanthers81]

If the Mighty Ducks has taught me anything, Ivan just needs to take a long walk on the beach with moody music and make them quack the team song. 5 in 25 baby.

 

[Iamback]

Sh



Shit take. Go kick your dog.

Look at what we do well and have done so for 5 years, When have we had to have a plan B?

We can't even run a game plan that inserts a 14 into the game tactically

Im 39. Mighty ducks was like the best sports movie on the planet growing up. Even my kids enjoy it which is rare of movies i like

 

[John Hamblin]

Laurie offers plenty is attack BUT we really miss Edwards defence!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BossleyPanther]

It's time for Kepaoa

Genuine question, have we had a single occasion this year where the 14 wasn’t forced into the game through injury?

 

[BossleyPanther]

What does Cole do?
tago is 2 cans short of a 6 pack.
Where is Mays money being spent?

Effing pathetic. Heads should roll over this.

 

[Munky]

Congrats to Yeo on the 250 love him. Season is over though and yes I can be angry. Not good enough is still not good enough.

Why be angry?*

I came to terms with two straight with 20 minutes to go in the 2023 GF.

Can lose every game this season and still be able to troll every footy fan you know since you've four in a role in the NRL era.

*I'm drunk as f**k

I blame myself since I bought a jersey for the first time since 2005. We also derped it up then.

 

[The Realist]

Tago again with the brain snap in defence

He brain snaps no matter what is happening on the field. On the ball, off the ball, Defence, Attack, doesn't matter. Can't read the play, can't tackle, can't catch, can't hold the ball, can't even stay on the field! He has gone Tropic Thunder - Full genius.

 

[Munky]

Edit: nothing to see here

 

[Stinkfinger]

We are simply incapable of defending our line in 2025.

Help us Dylan Edwards. You are our only hope.

 

[The Realist]

No but we have a lot of improvement in us. We are making very very silly errors and mistakes that can be ironed out.

The time for 'improvement' was after that disgusting effort against the Roosters.

Something is very 'off' at the Panthers at the moment and it appears that Ivan doesn't have the answers.

 

[Copperhead]

Help us Dylan Edwards. You are our only hope.

He was playing just as shit as the rest of them before his injury. So lower your expectations.

 

[Panfa]

I think going forward the spine should be 1. Edwards 6. Talagi 7.Cleary 9.Cole I would turn cole into a number 9 .He is a good defender can kick and is faster with a better pass than kenny.Call me silly but that would be a dangerous spine

 

[Stinkfinger]

Was ciraldo the reason penriths defence was so good?

How long's he been gone? I think safe to say it wasn't him. It was blokes like Luai, Fisher-Harris and Edwards that aren't out there now.

 

[Caged Panther]

The run of premierships was always going to come to an end at some point. I just hoped it was going to be a slow decline and not Wile E Cyote running off a cliff after roadrunner, which it seems to be right now.

I think we are in a really hard place right now.

On the one hand the lack of the consistency in the side is hurting us, on the other hand there are definitely some players that are well below par and probably deserving of being dropped. It's a fine line to tread.

As shit as we are playing though we aren't losing by much, if we clean up the erros and dumb penalties we can still win more than we lose this year. Unfortunately that isn't something I see happening quickly given what we've delivered over the last month.

I don't see us defending our premiership this year. I do see us still making the 8 and building to have a massive go at another premiership next year.

For 4time premiers* to wooden spooners wish I got on that would of been paying $100
