That oa tough game to watch. Other than the first 20 mins you could be forgiven for thinking the whole parra side were backing up from origin. Zero go forward on most sets and rarely looked like scoring. The only thing that stopped the score blowing out was there solid online defence but even that folded at the end. Ado car for all his speed just needs to get the ball and run. He dances around and waits for the defence to come to him. Samrani has been solid but too slow for centre and has no aggression.
Lomax is doing the work of 3 backs in attack as the rest of them were getting driven back most of the time.
Hopgood has too many errors in his game and just needs to hold the ball and run.
All in all a very disappointing performance in a winnable game.

I thought we were very good. Penrith would have beaten most today. We are still Top 8 this year
I would love us to make the 8 but don't see it happening. We have improved but we are a young inexperienced side so the back end of the season will catch up to players especially younger players like Iongi and Smith.
Ryles is our man!
To many mistakes and I think Moses was showing signs of origin , eight days off now
Colin, half a brain mate. He went in with a calf strain, came back at half time with a quad problem? He should not have been on there. He played pretty well creating the speed of the game in the first half, second half he was a passenger. Now all that said Cleary is amongst the GOATs and Moses would probably be the first to tell you that he is not in the same league as him. That said Moses is a good half but he has been built out of all proportion after last years Origin performance in one game.
Moses should be aknowledged just the same and he deserves no personal criticism for his effort today.
he deserves n̶o̶ p̶e̶r̶s̶o̶n̶a̶l̶ criticism for his effort today....FTFY.
Well i was proud the way we played defence was good just silly played here and there cost us the game
I hate to say this but i think Moses not last the year out he was playing hurt today
He did look hurt Arnie
It was winnable but just weren't good enough. I am not angry at the loss. We are not the worst team in the comp, Newcastle and Gold Coast are.
I wonder how much Galvin coming in will disrupt Canterbury? Especially if he starts at 7. Media will be 95% Dogs.
