We're taking the loss pretty well so far I thought, we've matured as a fan base. The AB fans are going feral.
I'm a bad kiwi but I've always thought the ABs descent from global superpower status in rugby was good for that game. Rugby Championship is actually a genuine contest this year with Aussies splitting the results with the Pumas and ABs deciding not to turn up tonight.

No one can do to us what the Boks just did though, they'll always be the greatest foe in my world view.
 
Is it weird that I feel we should’ve won that?

We were pretty dominant for majority of the game, all their tries were either extremely opportunistic or just unbelievably soft D (the dummy half try and Capwell completely missing the defensive assignment on papalii)

Like I don’t feel like they outclassed us. Tough pill to swallow. Can’t see Penrith going much further based on that display.

I know it was wet but this game highlighted how we are never winning with a fullback that can’t pass. CNK’s poor pass gifted them the To’o try. He just can’t be our number 1 next year.

Also for sixth billion time can we please fuck off DWZ this offseason.

CHT stepped up and played well I thought.

Shut up. I can have an opinion on who our fullback should be. I love this club and think we could’ve done a lot better despite us finishing 6th
He tried his heart out tonight
But yeah he’s just not it for #1

I reckon feed him in the offseason and turn him into a Ford 2.0. He’s got the size and motor to transform into a forward. Playing like one anyway. He still has value
 
Yes really think Phins deserved to be in the 8 over us going off the last month of footy they were building we were fading and really we had so many tin-ass wins we could have easy lost and not made the 8

During the last month the Phins had 60 put on them by both the Roosters and Sea Eagles, beat the Titans and were handed a free meal against the Raiders.

They didn't deserve anything.

I agree that 'outclassed' is a little strong. We shouldnt have trouble them as much as we did.

However, their finals experience showed through. Where we left the ball bounce to chance, they didn't.

Ironically, I thought we were (or close to) out penrithing penrith up until DWZ let that ball bounce.
