World club challenge

This was a really poor look. Not sure what he’s thinking to be honest.

I agree. I didn’t think it was good at the time. If they wanted to do an ‘iceman’ action, should have done this:

Are you for real?

 

[FearTheVee]

Are you for real?

Yes. He’s a professional athlete on live tv making a signal that he’s shooting up.

Good for you lot knowing it was about ice, we certainly didn’t in the UK and I’m sure lots of neutrals wouldn’t. We and they just thought maybe Panthers players celebrate big moments by making drug use gestures.

Kids copy these things, not sure how much we want kids making “inject yourself” gestures.

Other players don't react like that? Get a grip.

I’ve literally never seen a player pretend to inject themselves after a key action in a game.

You think that’s OK, I think it’s a really poor look. That’s fine,

Rubbish.

That's your interruption.

 

[FearTheVee]

That's your interruption.

That’s exactly the point (assuming you meant interpretation) which I fear you have missed spectacularly.

 

[jane the pain]

I have not missed your point, clearly you have missed mine. Now disappear.

 

[St_Helens_Goat]

Shows how desperate you were to win this game.

Personally, I’d be annoyed if my club risked them all so close to the start of the season.

Cheers for the game and good luck with your season.

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.

Sure you are. You hold on to that

You Saint Hellen’s supporters really have an inferiority complex don’t you. Why do you feel the need to keep saying that?

I think we both know why.

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.

have you never heard the expression “Ice in your veins” it’s not referring to drugs or even shooting up.

He’s been called the ice man for years.

Commenters have been saying it for years.

What isn’t a good look is all the fools making it into something that it’s not. Have a look at your self.

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.

Should have been 18-6 and game over with 16mins to go. Ref did his best to keep you in it.

There is no need for excuses, we lost the game, all power to them.

The only question is the validity of the game.

We as a club would have been much better off having a proper trial game, not this pointless game.

We lost May, which is bad enough, injuries happened, but imagine we had of lost Nath, Yeo or Jerome, especially in the second half when they would have normally been sitting on the bench, subbed at half time.

The WCC needs to be scrapped or moved back to the end of the season. Personally I’ll never really be interested, but at least it won’t effect the defending premiers preparation. Surely even the Poms would agree with that.

That hit on May should have been a penalty and ten in the bin.

I take it the loser has apologised to you and Alice.

Coward must have had a warning and wanted to keep his login active . Well done ladies.

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