NRL NRL Round 26, 2025 Discussion

horrible reffing missed a couple dog forward passes

Dogs were up 20-2 at HT against us just a few weeks ago.

These guys can't be that bad. The Penrith NSW Cup side beat our NSW Cup side a few weeks ago

Tbf our cup side in recent weeks have been decimated by injuries in first grade forcing players up. We belted Penrith earlier in the year when we fielded a stronger cup side.

Panther Jrs looked pretty energetic for team that had been defending all half…

I don't think he missed them. Just didn't call them....

There's been a few penalties for the Dogs that have been called immediately, then he originally lets that high shot from Mann go.

Either way, I don't think Penny have enough attack in them to trouble the Dogs, hopefully Laurie or Luke spark something because they look very flat on attack

Vossy was giving us so much shit for playing our conservative style against the tits. But when the dogs do it it's the greatest thing ever.

I dunno. they were making easy meters towards the end of the half….

More a product of us shitting the bed that night. Dogs attack has been clunky all year.

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Penrith don't look like they are trying to win. Constantly kicking the ball out when they've had no ball makes no sense to me. Feel like they are just going for a close loss tonight.

I legit dont understand the sin bins anymore, that head high was way worse then the “hipdrop” why is that not a sin bin

Some one in NRL HQ had their pet player harmed and it was all down hill from there.

All Ivan’s plan, they aren’t meant to win this and they won’t…they may how ever keep it respectable, he likes his chances of winning the comp outside of the top 4…they will be dangerous at full strength when that times comes…what a conniving and cocky prick

So true bro.

While I do not buy into the Vossy hates us crowd, I can't stand his yelling and hyperbole at times.

 

[BRING DA RUCKUS]

Damn Galvin really not helping the Doggies attack with his decision making and passing game lol

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

Kiraz done an ankle?

 

[sydneywarrior92]

dogs played like us against dragons. Probably wouldn't beat another top 8 team playing like that but you just beat what is in front of you. Ivan really ruined that game. Probably explains why only 20K people still turned up for it.

Refused to watch it - actually I fell asleep…

I hope the Panthers get knocked out first round of finals with their team clunky and out of form.

They cost us a shot at 3rd so have changed the whole positioning of the ladder and like with the butterfly affect, unless they win the whole thing we can say it was karma when a team knocks them out that they might not have been playing if they won this game.

I am surprised the nrl allowed the Panthers to change the team so much it would have cost them in ticket sales at the gate.

all good sides do it at this time of year. Bulldogs will probably rest their stars now on mass against Cronulla next week given they have locked up top 4 and can't make top 2.

All tradesmen do cash jobs… is it right if I do it?

If I slack off at work and say I’m saving myself for the Christmas rush, will the boss say great idea, let’s close for a few weeks???

If the Panthers ran a second stringer with the preplanned idea to cripple a top 4 main playmaker, not caring if they are banned, do we shrug and say, they are working towards winning the grand final…

I’m so many way, I think it’s wrong.

I don't like it personally. However it isn't against the rules and if Cleary believes it is in the best interests of the team and winning the whole thing then he is entitled to do it.
If Webby was to do similar and win the GF I would be fxxkin delighted
