Seriously. How good is it that he was a fringe half for Goldy now he's the halfback of the top ranked team at this very moment. Bloody hell this club is doing some massive good stuff.

After my 5th watch of the replay I will get back to you if the stats tell the whole story
Just came back from MSS and I can't believe what happened. Just a few comments
Adversity: There are many things to talk about. But the way we went about our business despite losing both CHT and Capewah early on was really professional. This is the sort of thing you expect from a Penrith.
Forward Pack: Lots of things to talk about but for me the big thing was matching their forward pack. We did more than that: we monstered them into submission over the course of the 80 minutes and bashed both Ethans out of the game. The way we monstered the Canberra pack tonight, I think we have a claim to being the most dominant pack in the competition now. Everyone will fear our pack now.
TB: So happy for Tanwah- he gets so much shit from us (and the tits fans) but he's always had this in him. People forget he was the Aussie Schoolboys XV Half that led around the team with Haas and Fifita. When he is behind a dominant pack, he can do brilliant things. He has a great general kicking game and basically kicked Canberra to death tonight. Tamale will have nightmares from TB's spiraling bombs. Deserved his try at the end too.
Ali: Welcome back Ali. I was the first to lay into him for his defensive efforts last week. But he showed that he can learn and adapt on the fly. That intercept try after half time was very important and set the tone for the entire half. He also had a lot of work out in the midfield that helped our piggies in the middle.
Arguably, we have navigated the hardest part of our start. We have two very winnable games coming up against Newcastle and Wests now. This gives us the perfect change to get to 4-0 before the next block of difficult games: Cronulla (A) and Melbourne (A). Onto Newcastle next.

What a fuckn stupid nickname anyway!!!
This is the Webby/Cappy effect! Long may it continue.
Nah, it was fitting. But this season there is a definite change. Not only with him, but the club as well. Just feels more ruthless to me.

I said during the day the Raiders push the limit. Hoping the referees will eventually relent.
They constantly have their hands on the ball when the ball carrier is trying to get up.
If you watch the set for our first try while we are in their 20. Their markers are all over the place and a lot of their defenders haven't got back to the line.
Ricky felt they needed to clean things up as it was in his half time instructions. They needed to either get the rub of the green with the calls or clean up their discipline. As the second half we just ground them out.
Good seeing our guys disciplined getting back. Although we still get pinged for six agains a lot.

Ricky in the presser not blaming refs and giving big props to Tanah Boyd.
Horrible nickname
I said it last week and I’ll say it again
This year is special
If we can stay injury free skies the limit

Now I may be a few Johnnie Walkers deep but boy what a game. When Weekes crosser over I was thinking dang long night!
Kudos to Ali. I backed him after last game and he stood up. Dal as well.
Loved seeing Taine at FB.
Something special is definitely brewing, how many clubs could say this losing their best forward and half?

Good to see all the points at the end, but that defence was as good as we've had in decades. Vibes are immaculate. How fit do they look
This confirms the parallel universe theory! Wtf is going on.

All I can think is the relief with 20mins to go and it's Erin Clark coming back on the field.
We are so absolutely stacked it's unreal.
Back to back 40 points to open the season (possibly influenced by Vlandys ball 2.0) but nevertheless, the season is now set.
