NRL Rd 5 *Spoilers

Interesting the way Penrith come off their own line. Throw it a couple wide where there's more risk but less chance of a gang tackle. Quick play the ball and the wingers make huge metres. This sets up their kick and rinse and repeat.

Contrast us a metre out where we throw it to Nofo or a forward one off the ruck and expect them to get us out of trouble.

Clearly did this with us too - we used to throw it wide early on whereas I expect Madge wants them to play more conservatively. Seems to work for Penrith, especially given how confident young teams tend to be.

Canberra are a good side. Penrith making a statement tonight. New benchmark imo. Not an IC fan but they could be unstoppable this year

Yeah I haven’t seen a team this exciting for years. Playing like this without their first choice fullback and hooker (half the spine). Not to mention they can lose players like Burton and Laurie and won’t even miss them. We can only dream to have such a team.

Their winger T’o, wow it’s like nofa but he makes the metres forwards while nofa make most of them sideways.

They give it to T'o in space, that's what I'm getting at. Then they follow it up with a fractured defensive line and make huge metres.

Nofo gets smashed one off the ruck but goes really well when he has a bit of room to move.
 
Panthers could go all the way this year. Their 6 and 7 are freaks and there are masses of talent surrounding them. They are enthusiastic and their forwards run aggressively.

Agree with you. Nofa is running of the dummy half. They are getting two passes wide straight away to spread the defence.

They're also fit, they run all night.

I will pray every week that that dog Ivan Cleary never wins a premiership. A curse on you and your club, and hopefully suspensions, injuries and scandals derail your campaign.

Even Hasler could coach them to win

Missed the end of the game, what was the bad sportsmanship?
 
If they can stay injury free Penrith will win the comp. Class above every other team. Their fitness is amazing.Momers is a fine player. No star but does what is required of him.
