How are we feeling after watching that demolition, still think the our boys didn't turn up after the loss? We played much better and than the Storm did tonight, we defended better and attacked better. I get the doom & gloom after a loss, and I definitely get the frustration, but Panthers have gone to another level this year so we just need to chill and make the other matches count best we can. I'm hoping last weeks game hasn't affected the team to much and they go into Monday's game with some confidence, or the Tigers will beat them.
Secretly hoping we get the Panthers after an Origin game and they rest a few players - they're looking so hot right now.

Combo of peptides and them getting the green light to get away with anything on the field
Yep
That's possible as they definitely seem super hyped which is quite odd as it's not just 1 player or 2 but the whole team. Bit strange
The only reason panthers were so good is because every thing went their way early on. That's because of the blight on this game the 6 again just plain cheating by the officials dictating the game and distroying it and a great contest all for the mighty dollar.
Agree 100% how many Penrith tries come from repeat sets or penalties or some very questionable sets especially early in the game
I was hoping that the Storm would win. I can't stand either team but I Penrith is worse! The Panthers got some extra help yet again from repeat sets and some penalties at crucial moments especially earlier in the game. Can't stand the arrogance that come from the Panthers
Again refs ain't changing any of these results.
I hate it when people bring up "they have help" even if they lost Cleary they still win, that's been proven in 2023 when he missed half the year.
Last year they were burned out, had a lull and got back to what they normally do mid year. Needed a service, oil change and machine back and working. The heartbreak from their 2025 season fueled this year more and they are a sleeping giant from 2025 being awoken and terrorizing everything in it's path.
They will lose games, Cleary will pull back their prep mid year and rest players before finals, but will time their run perfectly. Clubs that are used to winning and those used to losing find it easier to win or lose. They know how to do either.
Look at Walker's try last week, game was done but Penrith were furious they let the try in. Attitude, they have it with expectations. That's what is missing in most teams.
In terms of arrogance, when they are that successful it doesn't bother me. Like Tom Brady arrogantly saying he is the best QB of all time, well he is so he can say that. Unlike say Wests Tigers who are arrogant simply from winning 2 games, that's arrogance I hate.
On another note, how good is it seeing Gus derail the bulldogs with his meddling. The dogs will have to do what the panthers did to have real success, get Gus out of the joint.
They've done well to a large extent avoid public scrutiny. On 360 last week I believe the figure they quoted was 46 points in 3 games they'd scored. The season prior with sexton at halfback they were averaging 28 points per game at the same time. They were reluctant to criticise Galvin but questioned if him going there was the right move. For mine he was a perfect fit for us, but this is life.
Did you see Bronson Xerri sitting on the bench yesterday when Crichton went off with a shoulder injury? It's not all sunshine and rainbows over at that camp
Gus always overstays his welcome. Always.
