Penrith v Parramatta [Week 2 finals, 2021]

[HoldenV8]

How many times do you see offside players making tackles in that situation and the bunker lets it go. Luai is 7 metres from Ferguson and the bunker calls him offside.

 

[Arko-admirer]

7-tackle set? Must be finals time

 

[eagleron]

a little surprised at how well parra are playing

I still think we would have had Parra's measure

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Ashley Klein is having a pretty ordinary game tonight.

 

[George Rose's Butcher]

Good footy

 

[Arko-admirer]

Good game. Not subtle

Ashley Klein is having a pretty ordinary game tonight.

He cannot keep 10 meters. Commentators talking up this game but both teams are back about 6 meters!

 

[George Rose's Butcher]

Luia really buckling under the pressure, he does nothing

Nothing unusual. The single most overrated referee in the game.

Honestly it’s very “ up tempo “ but it’s also very “ low grade “ , only thing happening is after a kick.

 

[Arko-admirer]

God I like a bash-em up game. Footy like it used to be. Most games now look like light-contact training runs

 

[Waz13]

Honestly it’s very “ up tempo “ but it’s also very “ low grade “ , only thing happening is after a kick.

Agree it’s because in that first half no side was back the 10. Melb will lap either of these sides next week. Especially after this tough forward battle.

Honestly it’s very “ up tempo “ but it’s also very “ low grade “ , only thing happening is after a kick.

Or is that just because of good defence

 

[HoldenV8]

Melbourne must be sitting back enjoying these two bashing each other.

 

[StuBoot]

Honestly it’s very “ up tempo “ but it’s also very “ low grade “ , only thing happening is after a kick.

Seems like they're both playing not to lose.

 

[AlxFromNthNarra]

Why is Pangai Jr still playing for Penrith?

I thought one of the caveats for these late-season signings was that they couldn't play finals football.

Is that assumption wrong? Apparently, since Pangai is still out there I guess...

 

[AlxFromNthNarra]

After we beat Souths on Friday night, we are hopefully watching a similar match between the Storm and the winner of this game, bashing each other with evident dislike for the opposition.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Seems like they're both playing not to lose.

Yes very reserved , it’s actually a very average game , just either side waiting for a big error from the other to try and win.

He wasn't a loan he was released by broncos and signed contract with Penrith

That clause was for loan players. He was actually signed by Panthers.
