LIVE GAME Round 14 v Panthers

[SwervinMervin]

Penrith got a penalty goal and a try in that 5 minute period following. Nobody would have complained if it was play on

I could cop it if he speared in at the legs. But that was just a solid tackle that was simultaneous with him kicking. Not late. Not high. Not attacking the legs. WTF is Jerome supposed to do?

 

[Lukic]

Also we really need to find someone to replace Doueihi. He just can't get outside his man consistently which limits our attack. He did well to get that pass off to Skelton at the end before Skelton's try, but that was about the only good thing he did in attack.

 

[Suzie-Q]

He already trains with the NRL team. Why even name a 17 if you're not going to play them?

I truly don't understand this. I didn't understand it Tim did it, and I don't get it now. It just seems stupid.

 

[Tooff-less Cat]

Also they missed a hip drop tackle on bula at the end where he nearly scored

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

Hope Kit gets a run tomorrow for Wests. He is only one game back from injury and needs conditioning. That being said, Benji should've brought him on for impact when we were struggling for yardage in the second half.

Exactly. The whole "to get experience of game day" doesn't wash in the NRL like it may in other codes. You should be injecting fresh legs where feasible using all bench players.

Not at his best today …we need more pace at the position

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Can’t agree …it’s not the first time this has happened .,if he isn’t ready to play then pick someone else because you need 17 to win these days

In the end, Marshall was correct and we were in the game right up until the last minute. I fail to understand the upset, it is the NRL.

Offers little most of the time - super slow of the mark, won’t back himself…
He’s been tried everywhere - time to cut the chord.

Looked like a hipdrop, albeit a mild one. If we didn't burn our challenge early we could've reviewed it at least.

 

[jadtiger]

Doueihi can't be considered a first grade center, need to upgrade that position next year.
Charlie Murray no good, where was kit?

Had Bula as man of the match closely followed by luai.

We should have won that game, weren't far off!!

AD consistently makes bad decisions both in attack and defence and he is not a good enough goal kicker to carry him.He cost us 2 tries at the start of the 2nd half half when he took the wrong option in attack.We need a better option then him for next year and the future.

 

[gregjm87]

I’m absolutely livid about both those penalties . CHanged the game

Been only half watching whilst baby sitting. One penalty would be the Luai one. What was the other?

 

[user118245]

was at the game luai tackle tight infront of me that was a joke
how on earth did bula not score after taking that bomb

Because of a missed hip drop

 

[TYGA]

Good effort. Luai was massive today ultimate competitor. The penalty was bs.
Latu Fainu and Lauai have to solidify a combination for the rest of the year. Mason is a gun 14 all day can’t defend at 6.

Some how we need to find a 13 that’s Rep level plays 80 like Yeo. Bird, Seyfarth, are bench players. Douihei needs to be replaced by a strike centre. He’s solid defensively but no strike at all.

We miss Twal and Pole badly.

Correct about what ? Kit has played NRL before ..so I can’t buy what you are saying …

 

[upthetigers]

That game felt like a grand final wowe

 

[Spartan117]

Heath Mason is electric but I think Latu Fainu needs to start.

Lots to like

 

[GCfan]

I can cop losses like that. We were in that from the kick off to full time. Yeah there’s lots to improve but I’d rather that game than the first Knights and Warriors game followed up by the Melbourne and last weeks game where we wee were drifting in an out of the game

 

[boonboon]

Ref ruined that game. Was disgusting how calls all went Panthers way

 

[WhiTe Tiger]

Sorrenson's tackle on Bula after Bird took the bomb looked like the definition of a hip drop.
