2022 NRL General discussion

Jeez solid footy team though. Was cheering south’s last year cause would have been funny to see them loose two in a row

So was I

I'm really starting too dislike Penrith.

Only now?

 

[Super Impose]

Only now?

The arrogance just drips from them …

 

[sharkboy18]

No wonder so many people I know apart from Penrith supporters themselves dislike Penrith & Melbourne. They already won by a fair margin & no particular calls that cost them. Why do themselves & the players start a fight straight after the game when they have no reason to? Penrith are disgraceful these days.

 

[sharkboy18]

They use to be my next fav team until the introduction of the “arrogant” attitudes.

Penrith use to be mine aswell during the days of the Langs plus Lewis, Graham, Moylan, Jennings etc. Since the Clearies have come on board I am the same. I cannot stand them anymore.

 

[Capital_Shark]

You know you're doing something right when everyone else hates you in this game. Kudos Penrith.

No greater shame than being everyone's 2nd favourite.

 

[Addy]

Yeah as soon as a club becomes successful, people turn.

You're only liked when you're not a threat

Sharks popular at the moment - fun to watch!

That’s what Penrith were until people got tired of seeing them win

 

[sharks2010]

We are definitely more likeable since the departure of flanno and gal

not so much them winning, for me it's more the way they conduct themselves whilst winning.

This. Takes away the respect I might have had for them.

Same.
I have no issues with them winning.
I take issue with how (including some of their tactics) and in the attitude in which they portray themselves both during and after.
You can win with humility and chose to be humble, or show arrogance.
They have chosen the latter!

Ok 7 rounds in- there would appear now only to be one coach really under the hammer…
Hook, Madge, kevvie and Payton have done enough to avoid the axe for the time being.
Trent Barrett still looking for the answers

OBrien might like to get some more results soon.
Flanno could be a good fit for Knights…

Forgot about him… best he doesn’t rub the golden child the wrong way or he will be on the first boat out. Ponga has all the power at that place I feel now.

Yep he must be close to copping some heat.

Can’t see Ponga and Flanno getting on.
O’Brien is Ponga’s puppet.
Flanno wouldn’t allow that ****!

Sums up Australian sports fans in a nut shell there. We seem to hate winners.

I reckon Gal had a fair bit of power when Flanno was coach here.

Agree but still can’t imagine Flanno accepting same **** O’Brien has been
