Rnd 17 vs Panthers @ CommBank Thu 26th June 7.50pm

[LeeroyJenkins]

Bro with respect, if we start him at seven our season is done. Panthers had Cleary in the first half and couldn’t find a try

That's why you play him 5/8. No suprise Kikau had his best game last start when he had a genuine ball player inside him. The picture is fucking clear to me. Sexton is the clear starter, Burton is not. Burton is the one who should be under threat.

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Disappointed but in the grand scheme of things, we'll be ok. Hopefully some lessons learned for later in the year. Should've taken the 2 to try and and send it to golden point, just cause Critta has been hitt them pretty sweetly so far this year. But, Critta had a rare off game overall. I say, let the media inevitably suck off Cleary and co and let them think Penwith are back, and let them right us off as contenders.

Probably the biggest lesson CC will put to the team is that we aren't there yet. There are deeper levels to dig to.

Our home game against the Pantsers is the 2nd last of the round, on Thursday night. Would be great if we can get a big crowd to it. Should petition the NRL and the media to get it switched to Friday night.

 

[QLDdogsfan]

Listening to Cleary after the game he knew Burton was kicking early due to the men on his outside being in front of him. One little detail that we fucked up and he capitalised on it.

 

[chemdog]

CC just like the players will make mistakes, and it's better to do so in such games.

You say mistake, I say lesson and I'm sure the team sees it that way also

can't see it being a lesson when there was no need for the wingers to switch side in the first place.... dumbest decision ciro has made this season

 

[SARGE]

That should be all we’re talking about. The fuck.

I love him but Critta was putrid tonight.

 

[LeeroyJenkins]

Probably couldn’t do that with Milky starting at 13. We get three forwards back in the coming weeks which puts Milky back in the utility role which is his strength.

And where does Mann play?

 

[KiwiDog7]

All that ball in the first half and our halves couldn’t construct points. We need Galvins creativity

That’s what lots of people will ignore that Galvin came on we are trying to get out of our own half until the last two mins he finally gets a line attack opportunity and hit Burton out back who loses it

Would love to know what fucked up idea was in his head

We definitely could have used Sitilli tonight

 

[EHBulldog]

I'm so fucking titled after this game, absolute bottle job. Penrith weren't fucking good.

Agreed. Our side to side plays just made it easy for their defence. Losing DSF didn't help, but we should have played more through the middle because we ended up with fuck all good field position

 

[LeeroyJenkins]

The only possible reason I could think of is that they were going to bomb to To'o and Kiraz would leap over the top of him. Too bad the first and last time Burton put up a bomb to the left wing that it was complete rubbish and resulted in a 7 tackle set.

Terrible call if that is the logic behind it.

 

[Bitemarks]

The way people are carrying on, it's like we got flogged by 60. Every player tried hard, there were some errors, but they also had errors. It was one freak play by the chinned one that made the difference.

 

[JL82]

7-2 penalty count and a lucky charge down try.
Ref not willing to blow much and they took advantage laying in the ruck. Super game. Almost origin level pace.
Take a lot from that. We are ready for the next step

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Our support play needs to be better also. Just had a flashback to Kurt Mann poking through the line in the second half with the arm free and no **** within 5m of him.

 

[D0GMATIC]

Yeah they did. Just frustrating cause we were SO CLOSE! Haven't beaten Penrith in years! Ugh

Sometimes nobody is to blame, we were down to 16 from play 1. They just did what we do,better than us. Because we were 1 player down.

 

[Bad Billy]

It was garbage.

If you think that game was garbage, you should work at the NRL with PVL and work towards a national touch league.
That was the best game I’ve seen in years.
Either of those teams, beat ANY other team in the comp by 20 tonight.

 

[DinkumDog]

And where does Mann play?

Queensland .
Yep, that’s a good call and part of Ciro’s challenge. But I’ll take depth and competition for spots any day over trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

 

[Nate DAWG]

Burton couldn't create points. Sexton played straight all night and put him into space and he bottled it.

We should of been hp by at two tries i. The first half. Ciro needs to rip the band aid off and select the team that will play finals.our bench is not balanced. I would put galvin sexton in the halves. Burto in the centres and xerri the wing

 

[maroondog72]

That's why you play him 5/8. No suprise Kikau had his best game last start when he had a genuine ball player inside him. The picture is fucking clear to me. Sexton is the clear starter, Burton is not. Burton is the one who should be under threat.

Can’t start him a 5/8th either he can’t defend in this side.

 

[craigo]

Fancy not going for goal in a game where tries were hard to come by. That was a stupid decision. Fair effort though by our team considering man down after first tackles Galvin in the team offers nothing.
