Any different from any other year though? It is what you get with him

Maloney just had a lot more room to move this game.

Jake T was often at first receiver then a pass onto Cleary who was playing a lot wider in attack.

Cleary did very well to set up Maloney out wide with options.

Nah Wade Graham is a better half than Cleary.

If Graham plays 6 then we must carry a utility on the bench. The thought of Wighton and Graham as our halves if Maloney gets injured is scary.

Though I do like Graham. He will defend as well as Cleary and add some potency in attack just like last night. Puts pressure on Maloney's kicking game but Wighton isn't the worst option. First set last night looked planned with Wighton kicking. I thought we did a great job protecting Maloney overall and part of that was having those kicking options to take the pressure off.

 

[franklin2323]

Would Graham of gone aswell at 0 all? Nope need the extra kicker. Cook and Graham are fine short kicking but need a bigger kick option besides Maloney

Was no different then Peachey outside Maloney good stop gap only

It's one area Tedesco can work on. Outstanding player who developed a passing game. I'm sure he can do the same with kicks.

Wighton isn't so bad if we are positioned on the left in our own half. Decent long kicker.

 

[Fangs]

Perhaps Wade Graham will channel the might of Shaun Timmins and Greg Bird in game III.

Wighton tried to cheat. Penalty try every day of the week. Should be 10 in the bin as well. I hope they change the rule.

Bin yes. Penalty try? No f**king way. He was over 10 metres from the ball and literally bombed a similar situation earlier where he didnt get close to grounding it.

It's barely 50/50 on if he would have scored.

It was a joke because that's what everyone is saying now.

It's a penalty try every time as there are no defenders to stop him. It doesn't have to be 100% certain of a try and I'm happy they changed that.

I have no issue with it being a penalty try. I think if you intentionally foul a player, benefit of the doubt (on whether he would of scored or not) should go to the attacking team. They seem to be a little more consistent with it this year.

With how close he got to the ball I thought it was reasonable to call a penalty try. Take away the interference and he probably gets to it.

 

[mxlegend99]

That was a professional foul for mine. I think it's 50/50 at best he scores.

Rubbish !!

 

[Pomoz]

He's a big game half. But he also lost Panthers the last big game they played. Worst on ground vs Sharks in finals.

True, but he had neck surgery straight afterwards. He was playing severely busted and shouldn't have played.

 

[Pomoz]

Jimmy needed the lure of NSW to give a f**k. Until 3-4 weeks ago he was close to the worst player in the comp

Eh?

 

[OldPanther]

Rubbish !!

Indeed. I was hoping the ridiculousness of the statement made it obvious it was sarcasm.

Thing is the rule only says “in the opinion of the ref”, you can’t ever be certain he’d score, but I think it was a reasonable assumption.

Refs have been pretty consistent on that one all year.

If that was Maloney chasing the kick we'd all say try.......

LOVED IT !!
