Vs Panthers

[Philip_Smith007]

Reasons for tries in seconds half.
Zero Line speed.
Kicks found players not grass.
Double penalties in play the ball. (Sao then Hoffman)

First try: SJ misread in defence, Yao went straight thru.

Penrith kicked to grass and corners.

Second try: RTS out jumped.

Third try: Yao fend on SJ and Fus drawn in, Yao offloads to Blake who gives RTS a don't argue.

RTS let bomb bounce, tackled in goal.
Luke doesn't gather ball after bounces into chest.

Fourth try: Hoffman rushes out heading between dummy half and leaves massive hole for Moylan to go thru as Kata left hanging.

RTS knock on in Front of posts.
Moylan passes ball into Foran hand.
Kata strip penalty strip.

Last try: middle field.bomb straight to player, lazy tacklers.
Pass 3m forward.RTS misses another tackle.

Every team can find an attacking groove. The trick is to not let that team score 5 tries during that period.

RTS worst game all season?

Earlier in the year when RTS was announced captain, some felt he showed great leadership by 'training the house down'. I tried to explain real leadership but I guess they get it now...

Anyway lets hope he bounces back from this cos we need him in form. Moylan outplayed him tonight as a fullback.

I think everyone was confused when RTS was named captain.

 

[Meth]

Not going to bother watching the other games tonight. Won't enjoy them.

Watch the Crusaders v Hurricanes

Watch the Crusaders v Hurricanes

I'd feel too guilty. Anyway I've had half an hour to calm down and drink booze so i think i might just watch the other games after all.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

If Kearney doesnt show some emotion of being PISSED off at press conference and serves up the learning curve shit.
I'll..... i'll..... i'll..... ARGGGGGG!!!!

Just say you're watching Ngani Laumape

 

[Alan Johnson]

Actually I'm still f**king furious.

The Panthers have a hoodoo on us > but they're junk and we've been playing pretty well > Get 20 points on them and we're killing it > Get janked in humiliating fashion.

Loathe to criticise RTS he is a fine player and didn't make himself captain

Watch the Crusaders v Hurricanes

Rather watch paint dry. Union better than Victorian Football but still shyte

 

[Big Marn]

Poor Old Jim Doyle.
Trying to get new recruits and his team just reminds everyone why they shouldnt move to Auckland unless their past their use by date and/or cast off by an Aussie club.

So who made him (c)?

Was not my man.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

We turned it on a bit but you guys just rolled over. That last try off a gridiron pass was f**ked

Worst part about the pass outside of the miss by all the officals, was the total lack of it being mentioned by the Fox Sports commentators. Vossy would of called it as it was seen.
Easy to see when player starts behind a line and ball ends up 2 meters over the line.

Laumape is having a great game tonight

Post Match Conference:

Kearney: Very disappointing........Panthers turned up the intensity, we couldnt match it, which was the disappointing part.
Spoke at half time about maintaining the pressure and maintian intensity of first half, we spoke but diodnt deliver on the actions, give the team like the panthers breath and space to grow, you are asking for trouble, we didnt respond fast enough, very disappointing.

Every weeks a wakeup call for us.
In this comp when you get into the position we had at half time its making sure we goin on with it and maintian the intenstity and keep to the process and we went that far away from what we had been working on, thats the disappointing part of it all.

Asked about changes to the side: will look at in the next couple of days.

RTS: Frustrating as all out there saying the right things, but couldnt deliver on the actions. Was tought trying to get the boys back into it, trying to forget the quick tries, saying the right things but couldnt get teh actions.

Kearney: Sticking to the process, again had 3 challanging games in Australia, Raider, Storm, now Panthers. didnt help our chances especially in the second half, its not about our travel prep, we mentally switched off. Not good enough. (He forgot about Dragons!)

Player transferes dominating headlines disturbing players? Not at all, everyone in comp has known about that over the last month or so. Get on with it, not an issue from our point of view.

Kata had a bump on calf so came off.

Come on Phil we were shit, end of. Forward passes get missed all the time, we can't complain

Laumape is having a great game tonight

He's been playing good lately. Might be an All Black.

Agree we shit.
But it's something that grates me.
Vossy and Sterlo only ones calling it down middle.
Maybe it's just little brother syndrome.
