Round 8: Penrith v GC

[Aliceinwonderland]

Mate cmon...

Fish and edwards tonight had unisual errors.

It looked greasy... just one of those nights for all of them.

Tago had a shocker in attack..

I tend to look at the positives. He made david fafita his bitch all night.. every time fifita touched it tago hammered him..

Yes he has an error in him.. but hes a try scorer. Hes record with tiny in 6 games is incredible...

No way id change anything.

A rookie will have those games..

Id much rather him stuff up in attack than defence...

For me that was really disapointing in all facets..

The refs were so bad.

We were so bad..

Our usuals werent great..

I thought nathans game management was off
Edwards involvement and try stopping efforts was hug but few costly mistakes
Fish same
Luai a few poor moments.

Just one of those nights.

I wouldnt read to much into it.

Classy sidea get it done and we did.

We will need to be 1000% better next week and im sure we will.

In all of that. Had 4 points scored against us.

 

[Panther Pete]

Would it be fair to say that was our worst performance for the last 12 months?

 

[Girds89]

One thing tonight shows and ive always believed it is that it doesnt matter if youre number 1... anyone can push you in this comp if you arent at your best

 

[Girds89]

In all of that. Had 4 points scored against us.

And???

Storm wouldve put 50 on us.

Turning over that much ball against a bottom 8 or 4 side is manageable...

Do that against a top team and its game over.

Doesnt matter how good you are.

He's dropping the ball at least once a game and going himself after that break was maybe the worst play I've ever seen in footy. He's a career first grader but could do with a freshen up

 

[forby]

8 straight is still amazing. Better to get the ugly one out of the way before some big games. 5 day turnaround didn’t help, and next week at least we have 7.

 

[soc123_au]

Shithouse performance, good result.

Hes carving up in attack most weeks.

Hes attack with tiny and combo is incredible..

Yeah he has a drop in him...

So did jennings..

Hes defence has been very good bar the staggs game..

Hes looked one of our best prospects in a long time...

Curious as to who your bringing in???

Robert jennings is probs the only option??

Lol... like cmon get a grip.. hes carving up. Has had 7 or 8 moments like drops and misses that have been avg over the course of the seasom but has had a shit load of brilliant touches and trys and try assists..

Its early in the year and we are 8 and 0... not a time to be putting a bloke back who has done really good.

Only issues out of that game is complacency.

Tago will have more games like that this year...

Get used to it.. hes in a crucial position.

Lets not forget a few weeks ago ge got the ko win over a career state of origin player in gagai...

Im sure ivan will speak to him this week about ball security..

As i said... some were worried about his defence.. he smoked one of the best attacking footballers in the game all night in fafita

All of this was a fair view until you mentioned peaheart Fafita

 

[Smug Panther]

Shithouse performance, good result.

All on Nathan's back. What a stud

 

[Girds89]

All of this was a fair view until you mentioned peaheart Fafita

I agree fafita is a peaheart but hes still a threat.

He goes mia and is weak as piss in defence but tago still smoked him in d

Domt get me wrong...

Ive alwayd said id call out a poor performance..

Tago had a shocker tonight with his ball control and a few other things..

But you cant drop him.

Im sorry but thats nuts.

Ivan just needs to pull him aside this week and have a positive chat about how good ges going but ball security needs work.

Each player is different a chat or dropping might be the answer. It's all carrot and stick

Doesnt matter how good you are.

Old saying. You can only play whom or what is in front of you. All the rest is speculation.

Like saying if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.........irrelevant.

 

[Girds89]

Can anyone come up with a 3,2,1 tonight??

Dylan saved probs 3 or 4 tries in the first half...made more meters than anyone on the ground... but he made a few costly errors

Fish... most meters for a forward... thought hes effort was great but same as edwards, few costky errors and penalties...

Our two most reliable were probably our best but hurt us our most at crucial times.

Ive put my hand up for this one a number of times but i was so wrong about eiso... hes a very good nrl player.

For me leota should work his was back in thro nsw cup.

Same as brian too.... no one other than nath, yeo, fish or api has a solid spot in our team..

Staines and tmay have been to good to drop...brian can earn his spot.. he was underwhelming to start the year and looked under done. The current to are digging in and having a crack.

I love what soni luke offers in attack but hes defence tonight showed glimpses of what most our worries about...

Misses, shirt grabs and weak initial contact..

We all thought kiks would pull the pin this year... by gosh we were wrong.. man we will miss him..

For me my 3, 2 ,1...for lack of real choices...

Id go edwards 3 just because he saved our bacon 4 time in the first half.

2 fish was in everything

1. Api

 

[Iamback]

Time for a spell in Cup for Tago

He always going to need a spell

People always doubt it Staines last year
Tago now
Rookies always hit a cliff

 

[snickers007]

Time for a spell in Cup for Tago

I said this 2 weeks ago and was howled down. But you're 100% right.

 

[WestyLife]

Staines is awful, shouldn't be anywhere near this team at full strength.. even at half strength... shocking, adds nothing at all

Any commment on his run into two of their biggest forwards which basically saved one of Panthers sets?

 

[Iamback]

Each player is different a chat or dropping might be the answer. It's all carrot and stick

That play after the May break was just dumb

Nathan 3 is all that matters

 

[mxlegend99]

Tago deserves to be dropped for that one play. It was selfish. Stupid and honestly needs to be punished regardless of everything else.

He had a poor game aside from that. But that one play just is so bad it deserves extreme punishment.
