For all post match comments. See you all next year.

As if the panthers needed a helping hand. That pass forward was the killer in the end.

Good season all in all, but hard to take this one. Because I thought we fought very hard until that point.

Panthers weren't that great and wont win this year.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Honestly, I thought that was a pretty good way to end the season after the last few weeks. I thought we turned up to win it, just don't have the cattle. We weren't that far behind.

It will be great to have our injured return next year, but we need more quality signings to contend in 2026

See you next year brother! What a ride. Ended in a car crash, But oh well lol.

Bloody proud of the boys.

It's been a shitter of a season with injuries and we've still given it a good crack.

I'll definitely need the off-season to get my blood pressure down, but next March can't come sooner.

 

[jonesy101]

Plenty of effort and gave it a good crack. Right edge has been an issue all season and they are at least actively recruiting for speed in the backline. We should hopefully have some options.

 

[Mr Drag]

We got no speed makes it hard to score trys!

 

[CWC]

Honestly the game plan was great, just players can’t pass the ball at the right time or catch the ball, that was literally the difference, we should have run over the top of them in the last quarter

 

[WAH MAN]

Well we got the result that reflects about where we honestly are at. Congratulations on making the finals for 2025.

Tonight begins the sad post mortem.

Happy to duke it out about all things selection, bench rotation, who should and who shouldn't

 

[Completion Rate]

Beaten fair and square. They were just better.

 

[Barzak]

I thought we played about as well as we could with the team we had. Couple of things go differently who knows what the result would’ve been.
Final few thoughts;
Dallin can’t play FG next year.
Metcalf is our guy.
Barnett is our forward leader on the field. Perfect foil for JFH.
Healey needs to be in the team with 30-40 minutes per week.
Niukore can move to an off field role or water boy. Don’t care, just no more on field action please.
Pompey can go be a solid centre for another club.

I think with a full strength team, juniors moving up and a couple of recruits we go much deeper next year.

Pass and catch are honestly fundamentals. Smh

 

[JaggedJ]

Nothing wrong with the effort.

Just hard to convince yourself she's a 10 when you're staring at a solid 7.

 

[MXRecord]

We have too many pretenders in his team. DWZ, CNK, CHT, Boyd and dare I say it Egan are probably odds on not to retain their spot.

I'm gutted and although I didn't expect a win I thought we'd do better than we did

 

[Sukhdev]

Im very excited for some of the young guns in the NSW cup to come into FG next year. Will be wishing the lads good luck tomorrow against the dragons.

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Penrith too good,

Boys were up for this, a blind man should see that.

Just couldnt convert and when it was time to play catch up footy, thats just not our go.

The injuries meant we limped into the finals really, Maybe some philisophical changes needed next year to how we play.

Disappointing way to go out but overall id have to say a solid season and a pass mark for Webby and the boys,

Agree on Dallin and Marata and Metty and Barney.
Pompey is a keeper. Played more games and minutes than any other centre and is not even supposed to be our x factor guy. That's the Leiataua role.

 

[snake77]

A shame the score blew out at the end.

They competed bravely which sums up our season.

Proud overall how we went this season. We turned around a poor 2024 and was in the top 4 for most of the season. Then competed bravely after two key injuries.

 

[Jeetz]

DWZ gone
CHT gone
CNK gone
Niukore gone

New spine members are needed or we are going to be wasting the prime years of our young forwards

Yes bro! Let's get behind our mighty NSW Cup team!
