Seriously? It happens every single week and it's completely over the top.

Maybe if the refs weren’t so shut every week things would be different

 

[Greg86]

We did throw it around a bit too much that first half when we had the lead.
Need a game manager to take Control there and calm the big boys down

Yep game tempo needs improvement, we need to know when to put the peddle down and then reserve. Can’t especially to have 80mins of control.

 

[Sparkles]

Defensively very good, offensively very poor. Not sure if that was because Penrith gave us nothing or we were just clunky. Maybe a bit of both

Penrith played just well enough that our mistakes were the difference

Seriously? It happens every single week and it's completely over the top.

People also mention other things every week too

Our team WILL make errors in a game, why not just accept that and never mention it?

Our team WILL miss tackles in a game, not completely over the top to wish we made some of them?

**** happens and one of those things can be ref calls

I guess I just don’t get why ‘man I wish we got a bit more luck from the 50/50 calls’ is an outlandish concept someone shouldn’t mention but ‘we should just make way less errors against the best team in wet weather’ is so different.

Multiple things affect the outcome of the game, people can mention different elements of them without needing to be called out for it. Apologies if I missed anywhere someone said the ref is literally the only reason we lost and other than that we could not have done anything better. But when it’s just along the lines of I wish we had been a bit luckier I don’t think it’s that big a deal.

Personally I wish we’d been luckier and defended better and completed better.

wow Penrith only had two less errors than us
I'm sure it was mentioned here previously. interesting

Errors attacking our line are different to us making them coming out of our half

true

**** happens

Their fans probably think they should have just made less so they beat us by more

That where w got it wrong… we need to stop attacking our own line

 

[sharksandwich]

… What?

 

[sharkstragic]

You said errors attacking our line? And I was trying to be funny.. anywhoo

 

[MMsharks]

did Kikau go off prior to the half time break for HIA???

I just think you tend to get better calls when you've got momentum.

 

[sharkstragic]

I just think you tend to get better calls when you've got momentum.

I agree, but it shouldn’t make a difference, but it does. ****

 

[Thresher]

We had them flummoxed.

If we hadn't thrown away the ball so much we would have beaten the Panters today.

 

[bort]

For sure
Ironically easy to build momentum sometimes when a couple 50/50s bounce your way

Don’t get me wrong people can definitely get too caught up with the ref and get ref blamey but I don’t think simply mentioning a bad or questionable call is the same thing.

Ref was decent although how bunker didn’t call that shoulder charge I have no idea.
Meanwhile I do also wish our execution was a bit better but our guys knew they had to chance their hand in the wet if they wanted to beat the premiers too. We don’t win it with safety first football.

We’re still building and hopefully as we do we can build that execution percentage a little more but we are playing an attacking style that leads to errors
Also leads to wins fairly well so far this season.

Plenty we can improve on still, not sure Penrith have much higher ceiling that that, but you have to be perfect (or very lucky with ref!) to beat them

 

[bort]

I think we had them flummoxed because we throw the ball around so much.

It’s high risk high reward but safety first football doesn’t beat the Panthers

 

[Thresher]

Even though he gave away 2 stupid penalties I felt like we lost momentum when Hunt was hooked.

Good point
