Good effort by us, but let’s be honest. That game was more a reflection on Parra than on us. They are the definition of pretenders.

Some good signs, at least we are competing. Take out a few (regular) brain explosions, and it could have been a tighter match. Someone in 6 or 7 needs to be in charge, but Brooks has really got no idea, no skills and no concept on how to lead a team. Would like to see how we go without him, tbh.

Brooks copping it deluxe, as expected. But he was still our best half tonight by a mile.

Great game, great effort. When needed all our tries came down the left.

Yet everyone will bag the bloke who was out there trying till the death. 🤷🏼♂️
Yep it was all Brook's fault, everyone else was a 10/10.

This is it for that team . Mahoney generates so much of thier attack from the ruck . No way Hodgson isn’t Matt Ballin 2.0. When the wheels come off the vehicle usually crashes and burns . It’s sudden .
And for me with most players in thier core taking off , it’s all over red rover .
The panthers on the other hand are the nrls version of the patriots . The nrl grand final will be the Penrith panthers invitational for the next 10 years .

That game from Brooks, reminds me of Moses last game for us.

Are you being sarcastic? Hard to tell online.

We snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
92 post contact metres. Most from both teams.

Tbh fair few positives. Fonua Pole with one of the best performances I’ve seen from a 19yr old in the front row by anyone other than Haas.
Matamua unlucky to be binned, line ball call I guess. Looks good but still at least an off season or two from being at this level but lots to work with.
Tuopo looks very good. Is centre his favourite position? Potentially him + Naden centre combo this year and next.
Good to see Stefano get back towards his best.
Add papalii and koro and there’s a decent forward pack in the making.
Time for doueihi + Hastings combo to see how it works. Brooks to 14 in place of liddle who is as dumb as brooks without the natural talent. Don’t know what happened to Seyfarth this year - last year he looked like he would make it but has fallen off a cliff this year. Maybe injured? Not sure but Dias is a waste of space on bench imo.

Completely agree ! If we keep going with these young lads we will be alright it’s time
To just bite the bullet and blood the young guys now, I’m not sure anyone on here will have a problem with that, come next year they will understand the nrl game a bit better and should help us on the field next year.

Our players tried hard. We were outclassed but lots of effort. I'm not sure what your expectations are? Mine are realistic

This made a huge difference. Noddy recognized it and put Brown back in quickly. We've been playing all season with dummy halves who aren't first grade standard.
