Damn, after missing out on my exact margin bet last week by 1 pt, I miss out on this week's exact margin bet as I decided in the end not to go for the 34 pt Panthers win I was considering Bloody Warriors hah

Edit, oh wait I remember now, the exact margin odds finished at 31+, which was paying too little for my liking hah, you're forgiven for your terrible defense this time Warriors

Well Penny didn't put 80 on us

 

[wizards rage]

Happy enough with the game. Knew we would be up against it. I expected they would put 40 on us so no real surprise. To be fair, the ref kept us in the game a little. Full credit to the Panthers. Deservedly the top team in the comp.

I was looking for effort and to compete from us. Very few stupid errors, some good individual efforts, I thought Shaun Johnson was better than other weeks (all relative) and our structure looked a little better on defence and we looked threatening on attack at times. We just are not good enough and they scored their tries from individual brilliance.

I think we can build off that performance. We have a shot against the Tigers, whereas I thought we would get rolled a couple of weeks ago.

Why was Luai allowed to run behind his players for the last try?

 

[Tragic]

Dreary

 

[Mr Dragon]

Volkman and Ciro come in and leave Montoya left to tackle 2 men, that's 2 times tonight

 

[Wellington Warrior]

Without Walsh we have nothing on attack……

 

[Canadian_WarriorFan]

At least the Crusaders won, runs for cover.....

 

[Tragic]

Why was Luai allowed to run behind his players for the last try?

Dont think he did, he stopped and ran back the other way and volkman came out of the line and created a gap

Training run for the Panthers tonight.
The Aussie stay has finally finished.
See you 2 weeks at Mt Smart.

Safe flight home Boys.Just a bummer that you couldn’t win by 6 .

Just an observation. Who said it's OK to bring the rats tail back?... half Penrith team are rocking the rat.

 

[Jaffa J]

Positive is we got 40 put on us instead of 70 Shaun Johnson needs a rocket put up him talking in the huddle after his piss poor effort all season is anyone really gonna listen to what he says

 

[tajhay]

Caught the last 5 mins. How did Volkman go?

 

[Rizzah]

Although we suck, I do hope the full crowd turns up for the lads in two weeks against the Tigers.
We playing spoonbowl now!

I had one when i was 14, but these are grown men

I think Justin Morgan is the problem. No offloads or inspiration. Just one out shit. He needs to go.

 

[Tragic]

Caught the last 5 mins. How did Volkman go?

Shaun Johnson ran most of the game so didnt see heaps of play when he did get it he was ok without anything standing out other than got run over for a try and came out of line to create gap for last try

 

[RiceOwl]

Thought Volkman showed some glimpses that he will be a great addition to the team and is a true half (and one with a bit of ball playing ability). Showed good hands, some quick feet and vision. Didnt kick much as that was left to Shaun Johnson. Defence was ok, but had a couple of bad reads, but I wouldnt put that on him directly and say more the team structure.

Long story short, will be out long term half and be a good one at that.
