Game Day: Penrith v Manly [Round 8, 2021]

[court83]

And THAT is why Shuster needs to keep his f$&king kicking game in his pocket...
Literally haven't any ball in their half for 30 minutes, it's NOT the time for his hero look at me early kicks

 

[cc eagle]

Dumb from Shuster. Smart from cleary.

Only young guy !

 

[The Royal Soup]

How’s the scrum at the end

ref says you have to stay bound

panthers lock and second row stand up

nothing gets done of course

 

[JenEagle]

Great half from our boys. They are way too good for anyone . Cleary is incredible. I bet the tigers are still upset his dad didn’t stay with them and bring him over

 

[mickqld]

As expected. Outplayed, outenthused. Too fast, too fit. This will get very ugly

 

[malroon]

****ing smash cleary ffs dce just watching him kick... SMASH HIM FFS SMASH HIM!

Reminds me when teams use to just watch Cliffy...

 

[Cameron]

We're definitely having a go. But there is no getting around the fact that the Panthers are just the best side right now by a fair margin.

i’ll call it now. if we were playing any other of the 14 nrl clubs and we would be in front. we are really good. penrith are just sublime.

cleary is now the best player in the game by someone distance

 

[KaZa]

Only young guy !

So is cleary. Shuster will be a great player. But he is very kick happy.

 

[Stewbojevic]

We competed well in that half but did some really dumb things that gave them try scoring opportunities.

• Jake’s 6 agains early
• Garrick getting the ball stolen one on one

Without those two things they probably have 2 less tries and we’re up

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Really bad miss by Foran

Not really the play was special they had two players running at either shoulder and cleary waiting until the last second.. looked forward to me but its done now

The ref has killed us at every turn

 

[sheridanstand78]

We are making it so hard for ourselves. The ball is precious and we keep turning it over and they just feast on errors.

We need to complete our sets and build pressure. We have not looked like doing that so far and the intercept is our only joy.

We need to do better as well with our goal line, 2 very soft tries conceded.

They are the benchmark and they are on top of their game. If we are any chance we need to start asking their defence questions and that is our challenge in the 2nd half.

 

[robbiea]

Come on Boys....

As expected. Outplayed, outenthused. Too fast, too fit. This will get very ugly

i see what you did there mick. 🙂

Cleary kicked the ball away when they dropped it near our line Schuster was penalised for the same thing last week. WTF

 

[mickqld]

We haven't been in their 20m zone the entire half. DCE gone missing again while Cleary is in everything.

 

[KOMORI]

Eh Shuster tried a play and it didn’t come off... he also got blatantly taken out after kicking and this peanut with the whistle completely ignored the indiscretion, much as he’s done for the smugs all game..

I don’t have a big issue with that as there was only 30 seconds to go.

 

[Waz13]

He is head and shoulders above the rest.. people still claiming dce is the best have NO clue! And a 40/20

He’s quality but mate he has so much time in that panthers side. Put dce behind that pack and he looks a lot different. Our challenge here is to lift after halftime. We need to go to another level. Jake needs a spell he cannot play 80’in games like this. Croker should have been pulled off after 30 too. Why carry Cust if we ain’t gonna use him.

 

[Peter7]

We seem to be falling off tackles so easily today.

 

[globaleagle]

You know....

16-6 against the riff who have been playing super well.

It's not too bad.

If jake can stop trying to become one with every player he tackles...

Less some other mistakes

Stay really focused...

In with a chance!
