Srsly fisher harris is a send off everyday
Is it? I've seen that sort of tackle be a sin bin plenty, including our own players.
It SHOULD be a send off every day, but it really is down to whims of the official on the day
Here's the reality though, the Panthers looked more likely to extend their lead whilst down a man than we looked to close the gap. We're simply not on this panthers teams level, even down on troops and down a man. Couldnt break them, despite a mountain of ball in their red zone...
It's sort of depressing to see how far away from the best teams we are.

Also I can't deal with Grant Atkins. Worst ref I have ever seen in the NRL. Not blaming him bit he's an absolute joke.
No point blaming the ref. Our attack is terrible. That's the problem
The ref blaming is off the charts. Not saying every decision has been right but it hasn’t obviously influenced the game. Good teams get on with it
You are kidding right? Six agains aplenty for Penrith and we have a player turned around by their leg in the play the ball and nothing. Rubbish.
Life must be hard if you always think you’re the victim.
So grabbing a player by the ankle and turning them around in the play the ball is ok by you?
Starling is too busy spending his weeks in court or meetings with lawyers instead of training... He never seems to have his head in the game anymore which is understandable given his circumstances but even more reasons it's infuriating how we utilise the bench...

Pretty sure Ricky and the boys have booked a non refundable trip for mid September. It's the only explanation for why we are playing so badly.
I don't think that's fair, they have aimed up big time...this isn't because of a lack of effort
Agree. They're trying, they're doing their best. Their best is not good enough.
That includes the coach.

Harris should have been a send off..
The ref has allowed far too much rubbish in the ruck and call it bias …Penrith are seemingly allowed to get away with way more…
Notwithstanding our attack is horrible…we miss the speed of Savage and the doubt he creates..
Our attack is the problem. Savage would help but even with him.. we are too predictable.

So just confirming, after a great start and scoring the first try we’ve reverted to normal programming? At least 5 errors, 5 penalties, 2 six agains, 2 tries, a penalty goal, a line drop out, failed to score after repeated sets on their line against 12 men, and we’ve lost our best player in Tapine to a rib injury? Seems to be going as I expected. This team sucks.
I disagree Finchy. Jack looks on. It’s a war out there and we are in it up to our eyeballs. It’s going to be a good second half and keep a celebratory drink on ice I reckon.

Hoppa was solid, Jack some big moments, Fog an error or two among some nice touches. Have not noticed Kris yet and Timoko and Cotric very limited involvements. Some good forward efforts some poor efforts
Possibly because the fullback people have been death riding hasn't been there to give the centres ball ?
Thoughts ?
Maybe - Rapa isn’t a fullback! I’d like to see Hoppa get a run at FB and Kris and Timoko look for it a bit more
I'm literally telling you the facts. Our attack has been significantly weakened with Savage out because he acts as a link man for our glacial slow sweeps because a) he can pass and b) defenses respect his speed. What makes you think hoppa will be able to do this.
Now savage makes way too many mistakes so it's a matter if his pros outweighs his cons. Watching this disaster is making me think yes

I agree…it’s been the same story all season and we were likely to be exposed against a better defensive team like Penrith
We look about a 10th ranked team, Manly are better than us.
So are Roosters and Souths.
Our best is just not good enough. We will get the odd flukey win through inspired plays like Schiller vs Storm but we cannot match it against the good teams.
Explain what you’re struggling with. It’s not complex.
What’s is it?
Have you had some sort of malfunction?
Go back to the first bit
No idea what you’re talking about.
Can only assume you’re trying to say you don’t know what “shut it” means to distract from the fact you couldn’t defend your trolling by answering the question.

Wighton is having a stinker. He really is. He was up out of the line for the crition try when he should of been on the line. His kicking hasn't been the best and his running has been less than average

So you agree with me then. I knew you’d come around in the end
Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate. John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.
Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.
