Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Panthers

[Chook Norris]

We have too many unfit bumbling forwards that can't compete with how mobile they are. Looking especially at Collins and his poor lateral movement. Baker probably in a similar camp.

[ARD]

Panthers power game is remarkable. We’ve been so brave but have just not been able to earn good field position.

[Bahrain Rooster]

I agree but there isn’t much you can do against this intensity, fitness hunger and most importantly healthy squad.

Oh yeah I agree 100%. I’m proud of the efforts from our boys, they’ve done what they could. Panthers are incredible with their fitness.

[Rooster90]

Started off well

Robbo keeping Collins on for the full 40 directly cost us 2 tries

he’s clearly been out on his feet for 20mins

[King Salvo]

game of 2 quarters there - Roosters holding there own first 20 - second 20 the errors/penalties/missed tackles etc mount as Penrith pile on 18 unanswered points

[SunnyCoastChook]

Soft defence costs us again. Keary falling over and that last try was pitiful.

[Nigel Gaffey]

Didn’t do much wrong and were 18-0 down. Credit to the riff. 2 x we have been in their 20 we have ended up tackled into touch. We’ve hardly been in their red zone to be fair and that’s because they’re winning the kicking game Cleary is miles better than Keary

Angus needs to step up if he wants his contract, how is he meant to be Boyd’s successor if he can’t even bend the line

I remember when that used to be us

One crucially timed six again popped us, Penrith just don't give you ball once they get on top....gg.

[Andrew Walker]

Just not good enough

He's biding his time in the transit lounge. Has gone backwards since coming here.

There was nothing soft about our defence in that half

[SunnyCoastChook]

The only one he gave all half...guarantee if you replay the half there would have been at least 30 he could have given. One reason I dont like it.....inconsistency

[Lydon]

I hear all the massive wraps on Egan Butcher but I must say his ball handling is piss poor..

As good as he’s projected to be he needs to work on his handling before being a regular first grader, very disappointing..
