[Mark^Bastard]

decent year from all the boys. hats off. hopefully some decent signings are in the pipeline for 2019.

Mate do you know we won? :ridiculed

 

[Mark^Bastard]

The pace of that game was insane.

 

[Sir Chadley]

What a great night! Had a few beers to numb the pain of that comeback.

Who has booked their flights to Melbourne?

I'm already checking the tram timetables

 

[BurgoShark]

That second Panthers try - wtf has to happen there for a forward pass call? Ridiculous!

Not me

 

[ETisGOD]

****ing terrible game from him. couple key mistakes helped them get back in the game.

Mate I'm not sure what game you were watching but he was more than decent for us off the bench tonight. Covered Prior in his first stint like a champ and then did pretty well in his second stint as well. Correct me if I'm wrong but he covered Gal when he went off with his shoulder yeah?

 

[Steve Kneen]

I couldn't care less what his stats are when he gives away penalties with not playing the ball

Pick out the one thing he did wrong, and the rest of his game was? Give me a break.............Gallen was off the field and he held our defence up the middle, not to mention all his hit ups. Without him we wouldn't even be where we are next week as he has added so much to this team, that's a fact.

What a game that was but I was & am so pleased we got that over the line! It wont be good if Galls out next week aswell though. In all honesty, what happened in that 2nd half compared to our 1st? Did Penrith just step up a notch or did we just take the game too lightly from our 1st half? Mind you, I thought there were a few more rough calls in that 2nd half, tbh one of the major ones what their 2nd try, I honestly thought that was actually double movement. We got the win & held on so thats the main thing.

 

[sharkboy18]

What a play & what balls by Holmes to do that. I'm not even sure whether that was planned haha!

 

[Jaz]

There was a moment late in the second half when I (and assumedly the people around me) felt a little flat. Just then, Bukuya pulls out a massive run - flat out refusing to be tackled.

Might have looked small, but I bet it felt big to the team.

 

[dylan the villian]

NRL player ratings scored chad a 9, moylan 8.5 and maloney a 3! Hahaha

 

[Capital_Shark]

Capitial,
Cant agree with you on RCG, imo, a top notch prop.
Agree on Tamou, if they had Olympics for myths Tamaou would be a friggin gold medalist.
Merrin is a fatty but a fatty that can play.

RCG has tons of upside, not saying he's ****. Needs a hard nosed pack like ours.

Merrin same as RCG. Not pack leaders but could make good soldiers.

We good fam

I'll flog you with this one.

Gal makes up for it. Oldest fella in the game is quickest to the loose ball.

Said pretty much the same.

Klien gets the first points for the panthers. ****ing dog piece of **** ****!!! Can read him like a book. Lets bith teams get away with murder than calls some ticky tack **** to get the losing side a chance at points. I hope he gets herpes in the centre of his *******!

This made me laugh.

Im not saying we wern't. My first **** you was to the team. But you honestly cant tell me that the game was reffed the same at 0-0 and 18-0. I just want a consistent product game to game refardless if whose in front.

Agreed. Plenty of gifted half opportunities given to Penrith first half. Any slowing the ruck penalty was bull****. The 2 before HT crap as well.

Hospital pass to Moylan and **** PTB.

Nah I felt it too. Inspired charge.

They asked in game how you'd rate him. I said 4, commentator generously gave him 5.

 

[vicsharkfan]

Under pressure against momentum we get boogs awsome 25-30 metre run (felt like 80m at the time with the pressure we were under) followed by great feki run angling back at the post, topped off by a sexxy chaddy Helicopter kick 1 pointer. That my friends is footy porn.

 

[Capital_Shark]

Boogs, how he plays for us, would be an 80min key forward in a lot of sides. And with the troops we look to have out he'll need to show it big time next week.

19,000 at the game.

Wow, that’s bad.

Even by NRL standards

For a friday night in neutral territory? No its not

Serious? Didn’t seem to be a problem for the Melbourne punters

 

[HaroldBishop]

Nah it's pretty ****. But the NRL know what they're doing, Rugby League is a big stadium game

Dont compare it to AFL please. The crowds in the 2 codes will always differ.

And dont blame the nrl either. Fans can go and choose not to.
