I watched 360 last night i dont usually because Kent and Braith are flogs but.... Kent hit the nail on the head not just with the Api & Fisher-Harris things but with the Panthers in general.
They are bad winners and carry on like 16 yr olds not only do they disrespect their opponents as a group they do it individually.
Theres no doubt they are a good team and probably will be for many years to come but they are far from humble, they even disrespect their own club saying they are the best Penrith team ever.
One day that culture will bite them on the arse, all it takes is a couple of ACL's or a few recruitment blunders and they come back to the pack.

Well I think a few of them have shown their roots in what’s gone on . The 5/8 is carrying on like a goose, so much for their Christian values at the Samoan Cathedral in St Mary’s, or wherever, and prayer sessions after the games.
And the Mt Druitt effect is rising to the surface .
I’ve met and dealt with a lot of island people in my business and personal life and most are humble and respectful of all things. They don’t normally do what I’m seeing.
Sometimes the footy gods have a way of dealing with things so Penrith, remember the old saying “ pride cometh before a fall”.

True but I’m wondering about how his new teammates think. I know they’ll possibly laugh on the outside, cause that’s the blokey thing to do,but subconsciously has a bad precedence been set. Ie we can’t possibly win a comp, even our major signing is saying we can’t.
Whether he was half full or not I personally don’t think it was necessary or appropriate.
And I for one applaud Lee for contacting his manager about it.
So call me a snowflake if you want but my thoughts for the WT run deeper than that.

But the reality is if we try to get out of the current mess with nothing but players with a deep and burning desire to play for the worst team in the comp we can forget about the free agent market. At the moment, the only reason for an in-demand free agent to come to the Tigers is for the money.

The club can try to convince them it's not going to be a laughing stock, and the players can promise to be professionals and do their job to the best of their abilities. But we're not going to sign good players from the likes of Penrith and Parra on the basis of culture.

Koroisau could have been more subtle but he's just saying what anyone would be thinking. We just have to hope he doesn't treat it like a retirement fund. Ultimately, he's signed for three years and he has a role to play in making sure that time is enjoyable and successful - he can either play that role or spend three years losing and being miserable.
 
I reckon it was wishful thinking given they were talking about his premiership success.
And as soon as the words came out of his mouth he had an embarrassing chuckle.
Part of me thinks he accidentally suggested he will pick up another ring at the Tigers and was embarrassed for making the statement.
Deep down he probably hopes we win it.
I don’t believe the whole thing was said purposefully to mock us.

I have known many religious people from many diverse religions in my life and to be honest most of them talk their religion on every occasion but don't follow it when it applies to themselves on many occasions.

I know i am being cynical but i am also being honest when i say that many god botherer's don't practice what they preach

It'll be hilarious if any of our pathetic playing group have the hide to be incensed at his comments.

I am pretty sure when he sobers up sometime in the next week he'll realise it wasn't smart and will probably issue an apology.

I reckon that's why gadget contacted his manager yesterday

I agree, just a bit of harmless banter with his teammates, some people are just desperate to be outraged.

I reckon Api may have been drunk on joy and happiness winning another grand final....the sarcastic snicker apparently upset a few who are a bit sensitive and if I was a WTs player I would let it go because the performance they put in this year is well below average and Api will lift these powder puffs up another level...apart from a quarter of our team that tried all year the rest couldnt hold a candle to Apis resume,they should take it as a wake up call and realise it takes hard work and quite a bit of talent to win GFs....in my opinion,nothing to get overwhelmed with...play on...
 
Looking at the environment and consistency of the Panthers celebrations it's clear they have zero respect for anyone else. Some of the things they are saying across the board is ordinary. Reality is it's gonna take something special to beat the Panthers come finals time over the next few years & most of the guys know it as well. With Ivan at the helm they are now my #1 team want to see beat next season.

Re Api, is it a bad look sure but lets be real next year we will be lucky not to be bottom half of the ladder, the year after pending new recruits who knows. Right now our roster isn't a chance of competing for the title. Api will dig in and be one our best performers - have zero doubts.

Yep. And zero recruitment since Madge. It seems the club has already written off 2023. So why not give Madge that year rather than pay him out. It would have given him this whole World Cup to try to recruit some of his Kiwis. Then if Sheens still wanted to take his job he could have in 2024 anyways.

You don't know what Sheens has quietly been working on.

We DeMaNd ResPekT!

We are a fully serious respectable club.

If you don't earn respect, you aren't given respect. Seems like too many of our fans no longer care that the club is constantly being put down when trying to do just that.

To fight to perform better on the field is one thing, to non-stop have to fight the medias degradation and now our own recruits belittling us publicly? To become a respectable club this sort of thing cannot fly.
 
It seems some have become immune to being laughed at for the club they support.. Yeh-mediocrity alright.

Mad sad
Outraged
Snowflake
No... Just don't like my team being made fun of... Quite sick of it really... The fact some of the fan base are used to it is telling.... We are at rock fn bottom and this will never sit well with me

We're starting from the Wooden spoon and I dare say Api was a little drunk.

Its a long road back to credibility. I'm trusting that Sheens, Benji and Robbie will be working hard to turn this all around in the background.
