I Which ones were match defining?

I like your analysis. Well done.

Moments that stand out to me.

1. A game against the Dolphins which would have been our third win on the trot from memory, Api has the marker blatantly not square when we had all the running. Blatant referee miss and they score next set. Changed the game. Weeks later Api is binned for a similar incident.

2. We were up 6-0 against a weakened Penrith and made a break down the left hand side, our support player is taken out in a clear professional foul and not sin binned. What should have been 12-0 and potentially 18-0 comes to nothing.

3. The referee decides every single decision will go against us in the second half against the Dogs, we challenge four times successfully I believe, in a game we lead 14-6 at the break. Klem gets binned for correctly pointing out a non-shoulder charge as our whole team lose their marbles at the shitty refereeing.

4. API’s sin bin against the Sharks was blatantly wrong and followed two quick Tigers tries and completely shifted momentum.

There have been many others too. Footy is a game of momentum shifts and while you’ll probably disagree, these bad calls change games. You can’t say whether it changed the result, but you can say it was match defining.

Or maybe we are just easy targets because we sit back and cop the crap. We seem to be the poster club for making an example of a new crack down. I dont buy for a minute we are significantly more undisciplined than any other team.

At the top you will come under far less scrutiny than those at the bottom
Take for example even leading up to origin top players get leniency.
I could be wrong but When I was younger I’m sure there was more players missing origins because charges
 
Not sure which thread to post this so thought DISCIPLINE is kind of right, moreso culture.

How do we bring this into our club? Can only hope Luai brings these values!

Nathan Cleary wins games – then cleans the dressing sheds

If you need a hint as to why it’s Penrith first, Melbourne second and daylight third in the NRL, look no further than this.
www.smh.com.au www.smh.com.au

It’s after 11pm in the away sheds of CommBank Stadium.

The Panthers have dispersed after reflecting on their miraculous come-from behind win against local rivals Parramatta. The entire team has boarded the bus for the journey back to Penrith, save for a lone figure.

The chief architect of the comeback, Nathan Cleary, is prowling around the locker room. The halfback is down on his haunches, picking up discarded strapping tape, drink bottles and other detritus strewn across the floor.

Having put the cleaners through Parramatta on the field, he has now done a job off it that even Mr Winston Wolfe from Pulp Fiction would approve.

It all comes back to something Cleary has read.

Sweeping the sheds.
Doing it properly.
So no-one else has to.
Because no-one looks after the All Blacks.
The All Blacks look after themselves.

“That’s where I got it from,” Cleary says of Legacy, James Kerr’s book that explores the lessons of leadership from the All Blacks.

“I think it got made famous by the All Blacks and saying that we pride ourselves on just respecting everything, everyone. I’ve read a bit of it. You always want to learn off the best and there’s no better than the All Blacks.”

It is an image that resonates, one at odds with a team supposedly lacking humility during one of the most storied premiership streaks in rugby league history. The All Blacks have long been considered the exemplar for sporting professionalism, but a case can also be made for the mountain men.

Finishing 2nd last is not as widely discussed and documented as winning the spoon. If we finished 2nd last we may even get recognised as being on the way up. This could help with recruitment and retention?

You can climb a ladder more than one rung at a time though in our case I think we should play it safe...cant ask for too much

Ive heard a few stories of players/clubs adopting these habits after reading Legacy. I do buy into this club culture to some extent but also question how much I should. This article for example reflects well on Cleary but less so for the Panthers as whole. Ultimate Cleary aside, the entire team was on the bus not giving a shit about cleaning up the locker room or helping their team mate that is doing so.
