It was Ginane and he is by far the worst commentator i have ever heard and that includes Ron Casey 50 years ago.

I reckon Ennis big gob would give them both a run for their money. Had to sit through a Tigers game he did a few weeks ago, spent the whole game gibbering about another team who wernt even playing. He's the one I hate listening to the most.

Who is the loud mouth commentator is it Ginnane ?
He just said Canberra have come from behind at half time now and that makes
7 times ? I thought Canberra led 12-10 at half time !
He also said in 1st half Turuva challenge for being tackled in the air was the worst challenge he's seen ?
He never apologises for all his errors

Yeah that was incredibly embarrassing. They clearly said it was for the midair tackle. That Doogie Howser didn’t see it as referee was just as embarrassing.

Poor things how did they ever cope with being caned by the ref LOL

And the sad thing is prime whinger Stuart won’t have a word to say in the presser. He’ll whinge his head off when they have a bad day with the refs but won’t have the good grace to admit they got a good run today.

No idea why we didn't challenge. Moron Ennis recons it was too hard to call. Anchor with a w.

So many chances to challenge but with this ref and the bunker having i believe been told, why bother. Abbdo is there with thier trophy. I am a Wests Tiger maybe with my sunnys on but this is the biggest rort i have ever seen in NRL. We have missed 13 tackles all game and been reffed out of this game.

He also said it is a great Sunday afternoon in the first half so even the days of week are a challenge. He continued to call the wrong players out on both sides Fonua Pole reaching out to ground the ball short in the first half was called Sione Fainu a few times.

RL commentators on Fox and Nine are garbage. Agree that with a decent bench we would have won that today but Sukkar, Mason, Hunt and Murray would struggle to be in the 17 Penrith rolled out on Thursday.
 
I was surprised to see Luai doing more kicking at the start of 2nd half, with the wonderful bombs Latu put up in the first half. Luai just isn’t getting high enough. I assume by instruction from coach? Just thought it was a wasted opportunity.
 
- Douiehi would have made more of the wind with his kicking game.
- Romey played well but needed to close out our sets better.
- Latu developing well but I still think he tires toward the end of games.
- Bula looked dangerous and that disruptor penalty was soft (if he touches it and knocks it on, it’s no longer a disruptor? But he misses it and it is?).
- Forwards were good today. Held the middle against the minor premiers
 
A few posters on here have been saying we pretty much have a top 8 side for 2026 with KPP coming. Today was a real litmus test for us I think and we came a creditable second. I reckon we need three quality first graders to come in for us to compete for the 8 next year. If we have Sukkar, Twal or Seyfarth in a full strength starting 17 next year, we are bottom 8 again.
