Was contained well today, but I think the wet weather played a big part in that as you never have as much space on the edges.

Yeh Penrith were up very quick which made it hard. We needed to get deeper I thought.

Is there a place where it explains what "going deeper" means? Is it long kicks behind the defense line?
Oxford Dictionary:

Going Deeper:
A term used commonly in Rugby League where the backline stand further back towards their goal line in attack. This allows them to receive the ball with greater distance between themselves and the defender.

Often used with rushing defence.

as per apezza and the oxford dictionary they are referring to our attackers standing a bit deeper to give us more space between them and the oncoming defenders.
Needed some times when they defenders are coming too quick for you to do what you want

I did not think of looking it the Oxford Dictionary for a footy term. Thank you for that.

Thank you.

I believe we do this in mid-field or when we are attacing really fast, right? Is it similar to that when, for example, Kennedy inserts himself in the mix out of nowhere and passes the ball quickly?

If we are tapping Kennedy into the backline we will play a bit deeper because we know he needs time with ball to make a decision a lot of the time.
Need to adjust depth a bit to accommodate fast defence though, we may have some depth on backline plays but if we know defenders will race up need another further step back.

You buy yourself time and hopefully space but you do so from a point further back. Trade off is to get the right amount of time and space and still make enough forward progress.

Thank you for that explanation. Very helpful.

Not all Oxford dictionaries are built the same.

I think this came out of the “apezza” edition

The giveaway is that Apezza is also in this version.
