World club challenge

[Luke Bowden]

Warned for what? He didn't break any rules. He apologised all on his own.

All jokes aside, the rules need to change if what he said is ok.

He labeled an entire community of people, that’s not cool. Not cool on any level.

Yes the World Cup players returned early to play this game.

A couple of incidents had a marked impact on the outcome of this game.

1: Numerous head high tackles on Cleary, often without a penalty. One of which (if played during the NRL season) would have been 10 minutes in the bin.

2: St Helens players often put playing the ball incorrectly, (using pushing the ball back using their feed)

3: Offside by mutiple St Helens players when kick off occured for extra time.

4: The suposed 'legal' tackle on Taylan May so forceful that it ruptured his ACL. Not even a penalty given.

Considering all the above.....and the fact that Penrith played below their best.

St Helens won by 1 point.

Wow!

We travelled to Oz to play you in your own back garden. We had a perfectly good try ruled out. Both your trys was scored off the back of fouls on Welsby when challenging for the ball. The Penalty for the block on our drop goal attempt was pathetic.

Ohh and Paasi was a great tackle on May. Full power!! Mays ACL must be made of biscuit.

Dident all the World cup panthers players decide to return to pre season EARLY so they could play in the WCC ?

We're better, full stop.

The whole concept is a farce and always has been. The actual Aussie premiership winning team doesn't even get to play, many have dispersed to new teams when the game is played, it's not even played in the same year the premiership is won. It's not really the two premiership winning teams playing each other because one of them now has different players. I am not saying this as a Panthers fan, it's how it has been for any of our grand final winning teams from various clubs over many years.

Says a lot about a person when they make excuses on why an injury occured from an illegal tackle.

A case of I believe victim blaming.

I think they should change the rules.

it’s not fair that only Australian teams have to play with what might not be the same team as the Grand Final, and that only Australian teams play it the week before their domestic season starts and only Australian players are at risk of injury and that they have to put up with an NRL ref with all the decisions going against them except for when they don’t. It just doesn’t seem right.

Also having to deal with Poms who troll with made up stories about 'how hard they were done by'..........

Just scrap the game, English teams are more than welcome to come over and test themselves in the NRL preseason, no issues with that. But allow the teams to treat it as a trial.

Having a one off game proves nothing for either side.

Maybe these are all valid points, but it's extremely nitpicky, and just opens you up for the St Helens fans to respond with a laundry list of their own (including that non-forward pass).

It's gonna be a long season if this is how we (as a forum) respond to a loss.

We already have a major troll problem. Responses like this, and the inability to admit that St Helens simply outplayed us is just more wood for the bonfire.

I did say Penrith played poorly.

Trolls are part of life on a footy forum.

I hope we get to meet them again early next year.

Getting so sick of the mindless trolls on this site, and that's without the other team supporters.

Something I often do is apologise for something that I knew wasn’t wrong too. Good on him. We are like soul mates now. Maybe I should take him off ignore.

You haven't fed me yet and I'm hungry

Same for our clubs. Happens in most sports. For example in football Liverpool have to qualify for the champions league the year before. If you win the champions league you play the World club cup the year after etc....

You talk about being offended by a fellow Panthers fan for labelling you something yet you can throw the word 'pom' around with no problem whatsoever.

We arnt trolls. I'm someone who loves my club, my town and my country. Considering our salary cap, considering my town is a 20 minute drive from both Liverpool Fc and Manchester United and Manchester City football clubs (football dominates our country).

I'm proud of my team that relies mostly on local talent and i came over to this forum to see Panthers fans opinions of the game and i was shocked at the little respect my club and the game itself received. I watch most NRL games every week and i dont believe its all that, infact teams like Wests, St George, Warriors, Knights i believe are poor. Penrith was a challenge i was confident we would beat you if it was played in the UK.


Your coach and players identified the game as a game they wanted to win. Your World cup players came back to pre season training so they could play. Its a trophy you have never won. We win and your fans say its a trial, players dident care etc... Its damn right disrespectful not only to my club but also your own!

As I said before, it's no different to labelling Roosters as latte sippers, Dogs fans as destroyers of Trains etc etc.. I was born and bred here and will most likely die here too. I've never raised a hand to a woman and never will, so I couldn't give a f**k what nameless dickheads on the internet think I'm like based on my postcode. And that would be the maybe 1% of trolls who actually believe what they type. You guys are @stryker 's , @The Silverdale Phantom 's etc PornHub I shudder to think how many he has shot off since he posted his comment. I hope he has kept the fluids up.

Morally wrong or questionable and the rules of social media aren't the same. Saying sorry for being a dick doesn't mean you broke any rules, just that you were a bit of a dick.

A lot of mention of the word dick here.
Something to tell us?
…and yes, the fishing was superb. Many hungry mouths.

Not all of us. You absolutely should be proud of your club and what they did here. You managed to out Penrith Penrith in our backyard. It was 13 on 13 with both teams playing their best available squad. I still believe that we would beat you 9 times out of 10, but we had one shot and fell short, all the bullshit in the world wont change that.

Now go and have a shower in celebration and then put your feet up & grab a beer out of the warming rack.

You have been introduced to smug.
Pathetic isn’t it?

You'll need much better bait than that.
