@Moh said in Crawley Warning - ripping us to shreds:
So Crawley and FOX want to blast us for trying to move on over the hill players like Benji, Reynolds and Packer… yet no dramas with the Roosters pushing out a young up-and-comer in Flanagan who could actually come good with care and a bit of persistence?
difference is roosters win and we lose.
when you win, no one will point out your mistakes. Similarly, when you lose, no one will point out the things you’re doing right.

The play where Paps jumped from the field of play and knocked the ball back in, he deserved it on that play alone.
What a player
Lol @ the salt from panthers fans on social media about refs. Not sure you have a leg to stand on being down 26-0 at one stage🧐
I said to my mates at that time he’d just earned himself the ccm
His bomb which Edwards dropped and the restart he achieved demonstrated a very good tactical understanding. He has far more in his game than being lightning quick.
glad someone pointed that out!
all the focus went on Munster/Smith with Hughes in the bin and those two clutch plays really saved Melbourne.

I normally can’t stand the storm and their spoiling tactics, but tonight was the second most enjoyable G/F I’ve watched since 2005…I wanted nothing more than the storm to win and wipe that smug look off Clearys face, I wanted nothing more than to see Jerome Luai shutdown and lose his arrogance…I wanted nothing more than a win that would shutdown the hype around Penrith , and omg the commentary bias toward the riff especially from douche Gould was sickening…thank you Storm you made my night…
Spot in… Well said.
Penrith got too big for their boots… They really had no class in their winning streaks… Hope it burns all summer
The nail in the coffin was when someone brought up Bulldogs winning streak and Ivan said yeh but they were cheating the cap. He’s an arrogant smug.
There was an article this week about Ivan giving his bro a kidney which was truly amazing and I respect that about him, but then he said in the article about how WT fans should understand that family is important for him so we should be OK with him breaking contract to play with Nathan. Both father and son are delusional with a “I’m always right” attitude.
Yeh I knew it wouldn’t happen but Vunivalu was best on field. The intercept was a 12 point turnaround.
But hard to split Smith/Welch/Suli/Paps/Welch/NAS
Although, this was the scrappiest GF I’ve ever seen. The Smith and Bellamy blow up at 65 minute was indicative of that.

Did anyone notice at the start of the game how Penrith kept moving off the mark? It is super annoying and I am sure the ref must have spoken to them at half time coz she stopped doing that. Should’ve been asked to go back in 50% of the PTBs
Just like the bunker had money on penwiff
The ref did also
Kept picking Josh for moving off Mark but let penwiff do it at will
Nathan Cleary is the most serial offender.

I used to enjoy Ivan’s calm demeanor, now he’s just a smug. His son is a hell of a player though.
Except he looked like Mitchell Moses for the first 79 minutes and 50 seconds
Still 22 or something so hard to expect him to shine in his first GF. Have no doubt he’ll be one of the best ever. His kicking game is already there. The quick decision to deny the kick and have 4 secs on the clock for a Hail Mary was a great decision.
Yah don’t get the Nathan Cleary hate.
Ivan, fine - the guy ruined us.
It is seriously hard to hate Panthers (for a non WT supporter) except maybe Luai who can be a bit of a pest. They are definitely an inspirational story. Hate that Ivan gets all the credit for Gould and team’s hard work in putting the squad together.

It was the obvious decision that all players should be aware of. You don’t have to take a shot. There would have been players who’d have had no idea.
the decision was obvious but he got the message across to the ref to stop the clock which was good. The main point though is he’s a hell of a player and will be for a long time.
