Vs Panthers round 16

[Philip_Smith007]

A team affected by Origin backups.
But will hopefully can cope without Capewell.
It's a worry when we are heavy favourites and you have some young players getting a shot on the Panthers team.
Saying that, at home this should be our easiest win of the year, let's hope the team doesn't think that going into it or it will be our most embarrassing loss of the year.

Have netball Dad commitments so will catch it later on Kayo.

Really looking forward to this one after a 2 week break. Warriors hot favourites but Panthers are playing for their season.

Warriors have not really dropped the bundle this season apart from Vegas.

Go Warriors!!!

 

[nswarrior]

Panthers team still looks solid although they are missing 5 Origin players!!

Warriors looking switched on though. Vauimaga looks fired up!!

Kinda worried about this one tbh ...

'Momentum going into the bye'. That's a thing, but you also want it to flow on to the actual game after.

We'll see.

Thank god the Fish is there, with Barnett and Capewell absent.

...early energy and position by us...but no points, OK...Now we get saved by Charnze at our end...and now a second save! He's having a great year.

Now Charnze holds Sorenson up on the last! Three saves.

Penrith score. Look, it feels bad, this. This Panthers 'reggies' team are making more than a game of it. 4-0, Panthers.

MGT bad miss for Panthers first try

Yeah can’t blame DWZ this time, he was forced to come in and leave the overlap to cover for the miss.

Ford over! Knocked-on by Penrith off a Metcalfe bomb, Jacko was right there.

6-4, gee, we needed that response. Let's hope the crowd gets into it.

Metcalfe only has 66% with goal-kicking, which is the lowest in the NRL for regular kickers. A big concern. No doubt.

Then sloppy in defence in the ptb, Penrith storm up field. Charnze saves us once again! By holding Panther up over the line.

Short drop-out, we win it, Ford grabbed it. And a piggy-back penalty...

Jacko!!!

Bit of a suss jump from Halasima though

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Halasima deserves the assist for that - he doesn’t compete with that leap and Penrith defuse it.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Jacko!!!

Nah. It was completely legit, Penrith stacked a bunch of players in the way so he had no choice

 

[Izz]

Another try saver

 

[Izz]

Niukore failed HIA

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Ford and Halasima have great hustle

 

[Izz]

Blaize kicks out on the full

 

[Izz]

We need to be patient. Stay patient and we'll rack up a score

 

[Izz]

Penrith being allowed to get away with a lot on their own line

 

[Blair]

And there we go, Penrith are back in front. Sorenson in out wide.

Geez, we'll lose this. 8-6, Penrith. Halftime. Dallin limped off, 38th minute. High ankle sprain? Game over for him I'd say.

I can see the Panthers wearing us down through the middle in the second-half.

DWZ injured but ref allows play to continue and Penrith score. DWZ should've laid down
