Bye: Storm

[LimeGreenMachine]

Some big outs this week. It will be interesting how teams cope.

[The Nickman]

Some big outs this week. It will be interesting how teams cope.

Gonna be an absolute tipping nightmare this week, outs like Cleary and Moses make both those games head-scratchers and Raiders are big underdogs but could easily get the job done if they play at the same level as the last three weeks.

Even Cowboys are deserved favourites against the Donkeys, but those games at Lang Park are ALWAYS close.

[LimeGreenMachine]

Haas is a huge out and so is the young Piakuru. Broncos pack isnt the best so with those 2 out the Cows should dominate.
Our man Schnieder is taking Cleary's place , big task. With Sorenson and Fisher-Harris also out , Roosters in good form , Id be taking them.
And us $6.75 for 13+ , too good to pass up.

So they didn't play at Suncorp until 2005, so you can scrap the first 5 off your list. Leaves this:

Round 3 2008 Broncos 36 NQ 2

Now include 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2022 in your above list and you might see what I'm talking about, obviously allowing for hyperbole.

Easy, big guy. I'm just teasing

[The Nickman]

Haha.

[Botman]

Haha.

perfectly executed

[Finchy]

Edwards goal kicking instead of Schneider.

[LimeGreenMachine]

Another stupid obstruction ruling .

Commentators are right, they are looking at reasons why not to give the try

[Botman]

Disagree
It’s JWH’s responsibility not to impede a defender. Edwards doesn’t change his line at all, he’s running to the contest and must not be impeded

I’m perfectly fine with those being penalties

[Finchy]

There’s still a long way to go in this game, but very impressed with Penrith so far with no Cleary and no JFH. They’re such a juggernaut

[Northern Raider]

How did Bunker clear that try? He bounced it.

[greeneyed]

Good crowd.

[Mickey_Raider]

That was less of a try than Strange’s no try last week.

Seriously **** like that is why some people think there is a massive problem with unconscious bias in this league.

Their defence is just incredible. Schneider playing his part. Straightening the attack, defending well and a few nice pinpoint kicks.

Key difference
Strange's decision went up a no try and stayed
This went up a Try and stayed

I think in both cases what was called would stand.

More like incompetence when they make decisions that totally conflict with each other

[Finchy]

That was a knock on, no try. Ref really doing his best to keep the Roosters in this. Only piggy back penalties getting them into the red zone.

You’re right there was a difference but nah.

There was 2 angles there which clearly showed he bounced that ball and clearly showed the decision should be overturned but they quickly rushed through and confirmed the try.

The on field decision really should be a tiebreaker in the event of a truly line ball 50-50 call. Or when the video evidence is inconclusive.

Which is why I can live with the Strange one even though I think it was actually a try.

It shouldn’t be used as an excuse or mechanism to wave through blatantly incorrect calls.

[Botman]

I didnt think it was as conclusive as you but ill concede im watching on picture in picture on my laptop not on some big screen TV so perhaps it was clearer on a bigger screen

[Botman]

Panthers machine rolls on man
What a team

[Finchy]

Very impressive. Roosters are in the conversation for the premiership this year, they’re no slouches. Penrith are just too good no matter who’s out

[Finchy]

Interesting little story there about how Penrith identified Schneider as a talent. They played against him a couple of years ago and were impressed with how he handled Kikau defensively.

[gangrenous]

Glad to see Schneider doing well. Good on him.

[Botman]

He’s definitely improved in his game speed but he’s mostly doing exactly as he did for us
Kick well, defend well and pass early.
They’ll survive with the talent they have with him at half

[Finchy]

Yeah, I never really rated him as a NRL level half and I don’t think we’ll ever miss him, but he seems like a nice guy and I wish him well and I’m glad to see him doing a job for a red hot Panthers team as a back up to Cleary

[Botman]

Yeah, I never really rated him as a NRL level half and I don’t think we’ll ever miss him, but he seems like a nice guy and I wish him well and I’m glad to see him doing a job for a red hot Panthers team as a back up to Cleary

He’s just a good back up half
Because he kicks well and tackles well

You can live with that. Means he doesn’t sink you. What he’s done tonight is exactly what you want out of a back up half. There is always a place in NRL squads for a guy like that

[Botman]

He's not had a lot of joy on the stat sheet but i think Luai has been very good for the panthers tonight
He's an unlikable character and im not sold he's the sort of player that can drag the tigers out of their **** show but i am sold of this... dude can play and people who think he cant are too far in their feelings.

[greeneyed]

I like what’s happening to the points differential.

[Finchy]

This game’s ended up a lot closer than the Roosters deserve. Thoroughly dominated all game yet the score line looks decent

[Finchy]

I feel like 5-10 more minutes and the Roosters win that. Felt like a real Raiders win that one, nearly getting run down

[Botman]

I feel like 5-10 more minutes and the Roosters win that. Felt like a real Raiders win that one, nearly getting run down

I think the roosters late surge was more down to the panthers putting the cue in the rack
It got in any real danger, they'd have ramped it back up and won.
