Panthers should have won that by a lot more.

Freddy on Ch9 was just talking up the Broncos deluxe. Said - truthfully - that they're the best team he has seen for a very long time, possibly ever. Just so fit, athletic, attacking threats all over the park, immense forwards with Patty and Payne... He also astutely pointed out that the window might not last long, "they're already being picked apart", Reyno is getting on a bit, so we have got to make this window count.

But he said even Penrith, they would have to be at the top of their game to even get close to the Broncos the way they're playing. Penrith aim for high completions, field position and suffocation - Broncs play the power game and just get on the front foot and keep rolling.

Our second half kick might be the difference. We play a super high intensity and then when Haas / Flegs / Patty come back, we go higher. It is insane.

That's basically the opposite of what he was saying before the Melbourne game

I really hope the warriors get their premiership. Not before ours though.

Who cares what fittler has to say. Didn't win a finals game as head coach of the roosters, also gave them their last spoon. Has been found out in the origin arena too.

Even though the Panthers won by the same margin, at least we didn’t leak any points!

We were also up against a considerably better team.
Most definitely! With the depleted side of the Warriors, they really should have had 2 more (legitimate) tries.

Of course you have to remove at 3 tries gifted thru questionable plays and it still shows the Panthers are a one trick panther. Take out their spine and the rest of the team is rudderless.

I reckon it is even more simple than that - smash Cleary and do it all night. Give him no time or space. Basically what we did to the Storm. Penrith have shown a weakness against teams that bring the heat and we do that better than anyone this year. We on the other hand have shown the ability to absorb the heat and then accelerate away.

Wouldn’t hurt to smash Edwards while we’re at it.

Game plan should be like against the

Storm-just smash everything!!

Sharks wingers are hopeless... they make so many soft errors

the commentators must be watching a different game to me ... Hynes almost throws an intercept and they're praising the pass
