Round 7 Team vs Titans

[TheFrog]

Agree with all that MX. This is our first real bad loss, Newcastle was bad but that was only a bad first 20mins

Our biggest loss since Round 22, 2013, which is 37 games ago.

The reason Moylan needs to move is simply DWZ will be a better fullback. If we have forwards actually doing ok and 2 halves who can play then theirs no need for a ball playing fullback

I suspect if Cleary had his time over he might have made this move when Soward was first injured and would also probably have planned for it in the off season. But he thought he had solid and experienced back-up options and wasn't counting on losing Wallace as well.

I am finding it hard to gouge which games we would have won with soward. Our halves have sucked so I really would be interested to know what games we would have won. I think we still would have lost to Easts and cowboys, probably knights too. But I think his cool head would have been good today and we would have been better capitalizing on possession we had

It's his 5th tackle options that would have made a huge difference today, we had heaps of chances but couldn't cross the line.

I think his kicking game and direction has us win atleast 2 of the 4 games we have lost. We are an entirely different team when he plays.

Spot on too many errors & poor defense to blame no Soward. Perfect example today at 14-6. Got 12 on kick to the corner isn't of pinning them & making them chew up few tackles cheaply. Zillion runs 40m they score 3 tackles later. We have bigger issues then no Soward

 

[PenrithPanther45]

I am actually considering bringing Simmons back into FG. at least he is reliable and defensively ready

 

[TeamSatan]

Also, anyone else concerned that we're not really seeing much from DWZ? Others have come in and shown flashes, he hasn't done anything to show that he's gonna be a future stand out performer

I think he will be a top FG player.

Needs more time....But to be fair also needs a good centre inside...Jennings was rubbish today. Seems like nobody introduced him to DWZ or he just cant pass the ball to a winger.

Bad game today for most...Anyone seen a worse halfback performance than John today?

 

[franklin2323]

Pretty happy. But who wouldn't we have if we retained him? Injuries f**k teams up, what can you do.

The only half we have that's a FGer is Soward. So take your pick... All these injures yet NSW still win. It's attitude more than ability

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Will smith does good in nsw cup but don't know about fg he's really small too

 

[PenrithPanther45]

No wonder we're chasing tupou... we really need ANOTHER winger

Behind our soft forwards. No thanks

 

[mxlegend99]

In 6 games last year Will Smith did nothing at all that says he should be ahead of John or Korisau.

Peachey, Cartwright and Moylan are the only options that improve the halves IMO.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Lewi Brown will make a massive different in go forward if he returns next week. Can't believe we aren't likely to retain him.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

If eels and raiders win by 20+ (unlikely) and Sharkies win (likely if gallen plays) we drop to 15th

 

[Rhyno]

I can't see penrith winning any of their next 5 matches against

Sharks
Broncos
Manly
Eels
Storm

 

[Rhyno]

Kite has been the panthers best forward all year and they will miss him

 

[soc123_au]

Kite has been average at best. No big loss at all.

 

[Puntastic]

Did the commentators or Cleary in the presser mention what was wrong? Do we know if/how long they are out? Wouldn't mind Anderson next week.

Edit: Although if Taylor is back that wouldn't happen.

 

[Thirsty Panther]

I think Brett Kimmorley is calling this game wearing a Titans jumper.

I thought I was the only one thinking Kimorly had a $1000 on the the Titans for a win.
That no try call he was almost screaming at the video ref to call no try.

 

[Thirsty Panther]

Who made more than 40 tackles today to make up for E.T. ( he made 70+ last game)Being out?
Answer no one.
Best was Brent Kite with 14. Oops sorry it was Segs with 37. No wonder Segs was quiet in attack.
