LIVE GAME Rd 5 NRL discussion

Are you for real?
They are playing excellent footy. I can not believe any rugby league fan finds the way they play boring.

I lose interest when one team is this dominant. They are making Melbourne look incompetent and this is a game that would normally provide some level of competition.

Faalogo must be the worst defending FB in the NRL

Not having a contest isnt interesting

Yeah their footy is amazing but gimmee a close tight contest any day bar us...where im happy if we're 30 ahead

That’s not their fault everyone else is too pussy to have a go against them. Ironically we are one of the only clubs who regularly do.
I’d much rather watch them play then most other teams to be honest.

in a sense agree, but its only boring the way the watching peak Australian cricket or the all blacks was boring - the no contest just changes the way you watch it, you instead just appreciate it knowing you are watching greatness

The first team to beat them this season will be celebrated, hoping it will be us! 🐅

that pass from the winger was about a metre forward

lol imagine getting upset because a team is too good.
I loved watching the All Blacks because their dedication to excellence and mastery was immaculate. It was amazing to see them go about their work. Likewise that incredible Aussie Test side.
Penrith have taken over the mantle from Melbourne and raised the bar. They are great for the game.

Might as well get the 50 now - another team with a line through them

That’s the spirit.

[Telltails]

And there it is.

Their performance tonight had me scrambling for our draw to see when we play them and not feeling good about it.

I can understand this perspective too. I also love my tennis and watching Djokovic dominate with his unbelievable defensive skills and weapons was a joy to watch. But even in that case, the matches were still competitive, not one-sided like this.

 

[Betterdays22]

Penrith will be up for that Dogs game next week too

Records tumbling

Its a freebie at this stage. No expectations, give it a red hot crack with nothing to lose

 

[Flippedy]

Imagine being an old Penrith supporter who has supported them from the beginning in 1967, enduring all the decades of poor performances and chocolate soldier barbs. With what they are experiencing now, it would’ve all been worth it.

 

[Telltails]

Feel sorry for teams who have to play them twice

Bellyache’s post match press conference might be fairly entertaining
