Wests Tigers V Panthers - Live Game Thread

I thought we played pretty well. If we had Twal out there the result might have been different...

The result would of been different if the two players had not gone down !

Both due to Panthers high shots

And both offending players remained on the field.

I was at the game tonight, and from the start, the knock on by Clark, we never saw the call. Never showed the replay. They scored off the next procession. Just watched it now & no hands on the ball call??

Was that Garner? He got smashed alright by squeegyhead but if he lost the ball it was into his own arms. They didn't show the incident on replay.
We got dudded bigtime tonight.

If we play like we have these last three weeks we will make the finals. I am disappointed in BJ and Garner putting head shots on Dylan Edwards right at the end. The game was gone and it will probably mean they both sit out next week's game. I'm pleased to see people give credit to Eisenhuth. Blokes like him and Clark give their all, particularly with the effort plays.

Unfortunately you don't make the finals if you get done over by referee's like that. It was a blatant stitch-up, even watching as a neutral observer if it went down like that it is a disgrace.
Don't mind losing fair and square, you cop that. It wasn't fair and square tonight. And that is expletive frustrating to say the least.

If we had Adam Gee out there instead of him in Panther pink we'd have got the win for sure.

It’s every week we even copped it when 34 up against the Cowboys. They don’t like us and want us in the competition . We need to be better and take refs out of it.

Missed the game again due to work, but certainly sounds like the boys put in a massive effort, 45% possession according to the NRL site and up against 14.

On prior years we probably would have been smacked.

Hurts just as much as the Titans loss for me. Most of my family are diehard panfers supporters (as it’s the local club) that think the Cleary snr is innocent of any wrongdoing.

The reffing continues to be suspect and nothing changes and the media has N.Cleary as the lovechild (similar to Moses at eels) when IMO he was outshone by Luai and Koro last night.

The garner “knock on”, the Kikau not being square, our player getting escorted off the ball during a kick chase mid way through the second half, players playing 7 odd minutes thanks to unpunished late shots, the garner/Mansour play the ball “infringement”. Turn that last decision to us ball in hand and we are penalised for not being on the mark...the internal inconsistency is atrocious.

It’s just so disappointing that we couldn’t beat them. Again in a house predominantly of puffed up panthers supporters it’s so frustrating.

We should be looking at Burton from panthers for future building. Nathan’s best mate is May and Luai is in good form of late. Burton is the odd man out that only got a late promotion to the top 30 and IMO he is fast as (see his second try vs NZL) and a great manager that isn’t afraid to take the scruff with the game in the balance. Wouldn’t command big bucks either and steals a panthers talent.

A piece of play that made me laugh was when Gee had a go at Nofoaluma for standing at the side to play the ball...said he's been doing it all night ..got me wondering is Mansour invisible I mean pink stands out doesn't it

There needs to be a letter written by the club highlighting the inconsistencies and errors. Clearly the occasion was too big for a junior ref and he was overwhelmed by the game. Need to make sure he gets dropped this week, we cant continue to cop bad calls every week without the refs being concerned about the ramifications

Next time we smash Penrith
We can be the ones to blow kisses......

That's the sweetest way... How good would that be all our blokes walking off Penrith after a win! blowing kisses up to the stand 🤣

I was thinking more a stern email to the NRL...

I've watched that replay several time and i must be blind because i still cant see how Garner lost the footy. The ref was extremely poor and Cleary blowing kisses, he deserves a Liverpool kiss.

This is just utter rubbish. One eyed supporters will never be proven otherwise though.

😂 it brought a smile to Nofa also. I think Gee was just repeating what a Penrith fan was calling out all night.😂

Man it would be good to see Blore just carve them up..same with Stefano...

In 2021 they can both carve up the 2 clubs that they came from and that are 🗑🚮
