2019 Rd 8 V Panthers: Game Day

[Hazza]

Penrith are tragic. In saying that still a good win, we didn't have a lot go our way. There's certainly a resolve that hasn't been present in recent years. A pretty important game and we delivered.

[Billy Walker]

Just about their best 80 min this year.

Yeah good players across the park - I love that you take BJ, Tarps, Raps and Bateman out and the effort and quality remains. Good signs here folks!

I think that's the key point, all those players out and we're still pulling it off, love it.

You don’t go deep into finals unless you have a team that can cover injury and form slumps. We have good depth.

[dubby]

Have to agree.

Not our best 17, but we looked inspired.
Panthers were desperate but our defense didn't let them in the game

Wighton was outstanding. The best I’ve seen him play in the #6 jersey so far.

Hope Tarpine is fit for next week

A good win. Was getting a little shaky towards the final minutes, even though Penrith were never going to come back.

We still apparently gave away 10+ penalties, that needs to improve if we're going to beat the Roosters.

You reckon Penrith were that bad? I think we just ruined them. They are shot now with that result and the injuries and possibly suspensions but I reckon they came out strong and would have toweled us up last year. I don’t think we beat an average team today I think we made a good team look very poor.

[gerg]

Great game from Whitehead and Sutton just improves each week.

Some baffling refereeing against both sides today.

Penrith were dominant early. But we still won.

That said I think they had printed funeral booklets for Raps before he made his last comeback - suspect the raiders play ducks and drakes about injuries

[-PJ-]

Are we happy ?

You betcha..

My shed is open late..

[simo]

Great win at wagga wagga. Has that dried your tears about the game being taken away ge? Seeing all that support cheersl you up a touch? You crack a smile hmm?

[Green Taipan]

Happy for the win but the cats were horrible to day so we should have really won by more and not let in their last soft try. Losing Bateman for an extended period really sucks!

I think we made the panthers look horrible. Watch that first 10 minutes again, they came at us hard and looked good. The boys had to stand up and grind them. We didn’t let them play - that was top shelf that one!

I like your optimism but PEN are not going well this year and if we really want to be a top 4 side we need to carve up sides below us. Next test are the Roosters and we need a big improvement to trouble them. i wonder why we are not using our backline more once we have gained an advantage through the middle.

Oh yeah no doubt we're a different side this year. They were very poor though and have been all year. People raved about them last week neglecting the fact they were at home and had 60% of the ball. They're struggling big time.

[edwahu]

Big next fortnight. Even one win against these 2 sides would be huge.

[Billy Walker]

I reckon Manly will do a job on bulldogs here - I think we have dropped 2 games against quality sides and nobody goes through undefeated. Not saying we don’t have plenty of improvement in us but we are far from flat track bullies

No one tell GE we’re 4/4 moving home games to alternate locations

[Billy Walker]

Yeah I agree - we are in early May and looking great. No need to win them all at this stage just want to see we can go with the top teams and keep building. I’m happy for us to be well placed for great streak to start 5 weeks out from finals

[BJ]

Remember when Manly won a game against off on that rule not being enforced? Good times....

Yes to knock us out of finals contention.

That was a long time ago.

Still burns

[Billy Walker]

I hope Ricky lets them get on the grog after that effort

[BJ]

How do they transport that dirty great big Viking horn up the highway?

By Longboat straight up the Murrumbidgee.

Haha - I like it. I want a picture of it on the roof racks of something

[Rick]

Best defence in the league after 8 rounds.

I was only able to listen to that on the wireless so haven’t seen any footage - sounded like our discipline was poor? We gave away quite a few penalties

I thought there was a lot of scrappiness in the ruck from both teams. Tough game to referee with so much niggle.

Except for Wighton, let him drive the bus.

[Green Taipan]

Wighton had a dominate game.

Early on it looked like a repeat from last week with our discipline, from the middle of the second half it improved.

[Thomas Raider]

Wow people just enjoy the win geez,we smashed them like we smashed the eels. Our forward pack is so tough this year,Whitehead is a killer

[gangrenous]

Be interesting to see the stats on injuries from Brookvale surface versus being tackled by Whitehead...
