STUFF THEM. After the last four do or die season on the line games where our team haven't showed up, maybe this is the way to get them to invest emotionally like we do.
Lee, don't be a lawyer, be our chairman, pick a fight, make it personal like it is for us, they are going to beat us anyway, let's get dirty and hopefully the players will have a go.
Because it's a one way fight.
Penrith fans are laughing right now. 10 on the trot, likely to be 11. Even if we do beat them, they'll still be going to at least week 2 of the finals and we'll be once again wishing we were there.
Everything worked out great for Ivan and Penrith. They all got what they wanted. I said this when he left, the integrity/loyalty barbs will only sting for so long, and they don't hurt as much when you have a five year contract. They'll mean nothing if he carries Provan and Summons out of ANZ Stadium too.
I hate the bloke for what he did, don't get me wrong, but let's not kid ourselves into thinking Penrith fans have it for us, they don't care about us. If anything they find it amusing because they benefit from dodgy dealings and we were supposed to have gone on to greater things with a better coach, and we're stuck exactly where we always have been while they are a real chance of
Of course it's a one way fight, we are a club defeated by our own averagness and lack of passion. Currently everyone is saying how both the Rooster and Storm are amazing because they play so well, with 4 million sitting on the side line with injuries. We have do it week in week out, we've done it for two years and will do it for another two maybe. I wish our 4 million was injured instead of just crap signed by Ivan. Then Lee comes out and says he has no I'll will to Ivan and fans say it'll rile the panthers. No wonder our players have NO HEART.
