And that’s Luke Lewis with that. As I mentioned earlier, it just felt like a normal round robin game with the same as we’d get any week. We’ve had a few of these in recent times that have been controversial, Egan’s one against titans is about the only one I can recall overturned

Nah you're good.

I was just gunna say that was made even more agregious, when the Marzhew try was allowed.

Same ref. Nothing to do with him though, was the bunker. Same old story, just after consistency

There is consistency, we get shafted consistently.

 

[WAH MAN]

I get Luke Lewis' stance and somewhat agree but.....

We failed to nail our opportunities anyway. Penrith on the other hand.

It was definitely double movement, the camera angle never showed Jackson Ford's second effort at restraining the player with the ball but that action made it appear as if there were momentum when actually the player was tackled and the ball carrying arm were planted on the ground then promoted..

It was frustrating how fast it was confirmed. Had it been the warriors it would have been poured over.

Yeah that was an absolute piss take of a game from the ref

We had so many messed up calls go against us I’ve seriously lost count

CNK is not the problem in our team. The make up of the spine is.

huh? Isnt #1 part of the spine?

He most definitely is part of the problem with our attack and defence hasn’t been much to write home about

Panthers: Finals Week 1

Isaah Yeo and Ivan Cleary chat to the media after their Finals Week 1 clash against the Warriors

I thought this was really cool from Ivan. Saying he loves Auckland, his second home. Told us we can be extremely proud of our year, losing Metcalf & Barnett was the turning point & we’ve been incredibly brave & deserved to be there.

He identified the threat that leka is & the freak he will become. He made mention of our nsw cup side dominating & that Leka is one of a few young warriors coming through. He said there’s a lot of promise & we will be a force to be reckoned with the next few years. This is coming from a 4peat coach, we’re on the up guys and girls.

I just thought this was a really nice touch from Ivan, he’s always been full of praise & I feel there’s a mutual respect between the two clubs & they’re probably the closest we have to a brother club, with the amount of connections we have.

Cause he’s gonna heap praise on us.

Hes in a great mood!

His fucking team won!

The hilarious thing was if I heard correctly the Fox Ai system opted Cnk in as the best performer in the game

That fox panel are a bunch of Morons

Except when SJ is filling in

While I commend the guys for their effort but at the end of the day they just weren't good enough to win. Too many missed tackles and errors by the usual suspects. Like most of you have said, our season essentially ended with the injuries to Barnett and Metcalf. If we are to go even further next year big personnel changes need to be made. We'll see what Webster is made of next year.

It was frustrating how fast it was confirmed. Had it been the warriors it would have been poured over.

That was more than crazy - they didn't even look at it - was at the ground and seeing it live we were like surely that has to be referred - 'um not tonite sons, all good, have a try' - dodgy as fuck

 

[WAH MAN]

Barnett injury - yes
Metcalf injury - yes
Inconsistent centres - yes
I see Leiataua and Berry's inability to stay on the field as much as a contributor to our downfall as Barney and Metty.

Kieran Foran is excellent
His player knowledge is excellent

 

[Makasene]

One big turning point is when I think it is TMM goes into a gap in their 20, if he holds that ball and scores it's a different game, instead they get it back then score in that set - 12 point turn around.

That one was on Boyd.

He juggled the recepit (which he does a lot). Timing was off and Boyd had to push the pass to hit TMM.

This point is off topic but still in line with this game.
Re the Sharks vs Roosters. Sharks
were underdogs and playing at home as well and haven't been playing great but yet they managed to beat Roosters.
