Yeah true Geo but still no one contributed more to our loss than Brooks.
Anyway need to numb myself out.

Yeah I understand the importance of a 'swing' or 'turning point' in a game ks, but I don't think Penrith were as 'gone' as you think at that stage - their defense was pretty good throughout the whole match, considering the conditions. I really don't think it would've made any difference in the long run, we were never really in it, imo, but I guess we agree to disagree :mrgreen: Sadly, we will never know what might've been.

I just don't get how they call the Nofo **TRY** forward when they couldn't even call a 3 metre forward pass on Friday Night :brick: :brick: :brick:
The refs are never consistent and it always seems to go against us… :brick: :brick: :brick:

Friday's decision was 'why' they did call it forward. Obviously the Refs got a gee-up after that call on friday so what was 50/50 got the bad luck call on this occasion.

Have a lie down mate…youve been in the sun too long
Before the kick we had bombed two tries, had been on the line several more sets and couldnt crack them...wed had 6 or 7 goes at their line, hardly ''the better team''
I thought at the time it was a breather kick, looked like it may have been a close game at the time....
We cracked soon after ..simple as that

This. It's easy in hindsight to say it was the wrong decision. At the time we were on top and had zero to show for it. It didn't feel like a bad decision. Suli dropping the ball over the line and the forward pass was what was costly.

I think u just described exactly why i think it was a bad call to justify why u think it was a good call. We cracked soon after u say… um thats exactly what i said was about to happen but we gave up that chance to kick a goal. They would have cracked not us. Thats the point. Its a disgraceful decision and every decent judge is saying its the turning point.
Blatantly wrong call Innk. Most know it.
Would it have changed the result, i have my doubts. But i definitely feel it eliminated any chance.

No hindsight at all. I called it live and Stryker called it live. Horrible call. We were proven right straight after. No hindsight mate when u call it at the time
You're ignoring the 6 or 7 times they turned us away before the kick

Sorry mate its not that i just think Penrith were gone, i think both teams could go at any minute and the chance for a full set in opposition territory at that time was priceless. The game was on a knife edge and we choked with that call.

u don't think pressure builds and they crack? They turned us away through our own poor mistakes or a ref ruling a forward pass that wasnt forward just to let the public know they still rule forward passes after they let the Broncos pass like NFL quarterbacks on friday night.
The call was horrible to take the kick. No game insight at all and that was proven straight after. Field positin was everything at that time and Penrith gained it then and won the game. I really want to know who made the call. They should be slapped.

I think you are both right. We shouldn't have taken the kick but at the same time we couldn't score a point. We were poor and we never looked likely to score.
We cracked….it had nothing to do with the kick....I believe it was McIlwrick trying to milk a penalty and turning over possesion which led to their first try...THAT relieved the pressure....then a couple sets later Brooks trying to tackle no one also relieve pressure....leading to their second, again nothing to do with a penalty kick
I have no doubt at all the game goes down to the wire if we dont kick for goal. Opinion of course, but still very confident.

Penrith were gone. I really believe if we attack there we score 2 tries before halftime.
They werent gone, they were holding as were we. We werent building pressure, we could get down there but did nothing with it...thats not pressure, thats giving them confidence in their D...which is what the commentators said their entire warm up consisted of.
We cracked
Its quite insane that you can really believe something would occur a certain way **in the future** if a different option was taken
Im serious here, have you been drinking?

On another note regarding defence, we're embarrassing. The fact that other teams take that aspect so seriously (and it translates in their performances on game day) makes us look like amateurs.. With the constant talk every year about how it's a main focus, and that changes are being made I'm always hopeful, but I really doubt it's ever going to happen now.
Not being able to crack their defence today was really concerning.. I mean we couldn't defend, but we never scored a try either :s

Nothing will change till we address the elephant in the room. The right hand side defence. What's it going to take for Kev to be moved out of the centres. It kills us. And some thought Rankin was our biggest problem.

i also agree with ink naigama should be on the wing at best he is another favourite like rankin whats wrong wrong with heleta at leasthe stays on his man and doesnt leave the winger posted like naigama does constantly

It was 2 all after the kick. If we had not conceded another 30 odd points, it would have been a draw.
While we might have been on top, we failed to score any further points all game, an so takin the tap would have likely resulted in knock on, kick going dead etc.
This was not the turning point of the game. Today the defence was completely soft up up the middle with Penrith making ground at will. The overall performance was crap and trying to link the loss back to "we shouldn't have taken a shot" at the 25 min mark is fantasy at its best
