Post Match 2023 Penrith vs Warriors - Week 1 Finals (Post Match)

[John Nick]

Which is better?

Finish strong and scrape into 8th, then go out in first week of the finals.

Or about to finish 3rd, cruise the last month of the competition, rest players and drop our last regular season game, then lose 2 in a row in the finals?

Feel I’ve gone from a massive high 6 weeks ago to a limp finish to the campaign.

Nothing looks more certain than Broncos Penrith final unfortunately.
Ironically they both win the first round finals game by 26.
They both had upfront dominance which is the criteria to win a footy game no matter what the code.
One more AFB would be great

Nah

I reckon we have a good chance against Brisbane

These guys go for the miracle high risk plays. Looks fantastic when it works otherwise it’s an error. When they make the error = we eat!

Can’t be the coaches fault . Everyone is just too good for us and we are doing well to just be in the 8 and let’s just be happy with that up the wahs.

Maybe there's a portion of truth in that?

Next weeks game will be huge and I'm sure they will give it their all.

I agree with what Webby said a few weeks back.

We are a season too early for the Grand Final, or maybe even the later finals.

We needed to experience getting wins under our belt and go from strength to strength. That's what Webby achieved in his first season in charge, It's almost been a record season. I'm pretty sure after last two seasons it's been our best for a while.

Nathan Cleary was just 1 man, but he had the rest of the team showing him the way, and when he got on top he was magic to watch.

Had Sean had the luxury of the team doing their jobs, then he would have played the same way. When he's on form, look out. But he didn't play yesterday, and I hope he plays next week.

I think Webby just wanted us to get to the finals and give us the experience, anything after that is setting us up for the next few years.

We all experienced the pain of the last two weeks. I'm sure the Wahs do too, but more personally.

Whatever happens the next few weeks, look out next season.

We have the team, and we have the right Coach. Ivan Cleary.2 but his name is Webster. Andrew Webster.



UP THE WAHS.

The pain of the end of this year

Will be the joy of winning the whole thing next year.


Just a year too early.

Lussick only played 9 mins, really poor bench selection by Webby. Was obvious before the game even started. He's doing great for us, but clearly still has some learning to do.

They have elite defence to back it up though. They will let you get down field easy enough if they want, but once you are inside their 10m good luck.

I do believe we have a better chance of Broncos at Suncorp than Penrith in Penrith though. But we would be there after two hard rounds already, and they would he rested. Make of that what you will, but it certainly counts for something.

Love your optimism.
Would like you to be right.
Finals matches don't always go to script

It was from the Panthers official feed and said "Up the Pahs!"
It was attracting a lot of oversensitive responses but I did like the one that said pah-thetic.

Hindsight’s 20/20. If Egan didn’t stay on after getting his head jammed, Lussick on the bench would’ve looked like the right call.

They also had a takeoff of how bizzare / up the wahs to ‘up the pahs’

 

[Stalefish540]

Not usually one to bag the officials, but the ruck was a disgrace.

Penrith realised from the first two sets that Gee wasn't going to call them up on anything ruck related, so they proceed to kill the ruck for 80 minutes.

I didn't feel they were even overly dominant in the ruck, so what they were getting away with was farcical.

There was one set maybe just in the first few sets after we scored. Where 4 tackles in one set were blantant six agains with us coming up the right side.

They are not good at what they do in the ruck, they just don't get called for any of it.

What the feck even was that from Gee?

Sounds hilarious

Too many emotional Karen’s in this world today. Can’t take a joke. Offended at everything

Over sensitive is right. I do wonder about the psyche of a lot of our fans. If people aren't praising the Warriors it's a dummy spit regardless of whether they are playing good, average or poor. Can't seem to take any good natured jokes. Have to blame the refs ALL the time. And it just goes on. Poor winners and even worse losers. At least AW seems to be bringing a mature approach to it all. Hopefully it rubs off on a few.

I'm picking a good win at home next week with overly emotional comments like we can win the comp, maybe the Aussie media will take notice of us, etc etc followed by a loss against the Broncos with overly emotional comments like the fucking refs are so biased, Broncos are cheats, etc etc

Not when you have Sironen there for cover. Lussick was surplus to requirements.

It was a full pisstake song (How Bizarre style), which was apparently made by a fan. Given you could barely make out half the stuff he was saying not to mention it was just pretty cringey in general, odd thing for the official team channel to share in the first place.

You started this post so well until you mentioned the ref. You just had to mention the ref didn’t you…

Lost all credibility after that

Anyone got a link to this cringefest song so I can seethe at these toothless retards mocking our boys?
