Round 21 Discussion

[Big Pete]

Huge passage of play there from Vete, bought the Warriors of 30 hard fought metres.

Johnson's fifth tackle plays have been amazing today.

 

[Big Pete]

Explosive stuff from Mansour.

Basically did it all himself, 40m, beat 5 defenders and he's got the Panthers right back in this.

 

[Big Pete]

What a kick from Wallace there.

It was for all intents and purposes a 40/20, and Penrith sum it up easily with the second-man Moylan play.

16-all.

 

[Big Pete]

We're headed for another golden point game.

The Warriors second in as many weeks.

Following either club must be torture.

 

[Big Pete]

Watene-Zelezniak really hasn't kicked on since his promising 2014, has he?

Costly error, this could be the ball-game here.

 

[Big Pete]

The referees have no balls.

None of those Penrith players were square there, it should have been a penalty Warriors right infront.

 

[Big Pete]

Johnson was never going to kick the field goal, he looked about as confident as Ben Hunt would in that situation. Fortunately for him, he was able to get another crack at the Panthers (thanks to a great play from Kata) and he's just gotten the Warriors over the line.

The Warriors deserved the win, but they made it a lot harder than it should have been. Panthers were gutsy but just lacked concentration in key areas.

Story of Hook's coaching career.

 

[Broncoman]

Really can't wait to kick back and enjoy 2 games of footy tonight. Parents are out to dinner so I've got the TV to myself for the evening. Haven't watched any footy on a Saturday or Sunday for a couple of weeks.

 

[Broncoman]

Great play from Moses

 

[Big Pete]

The Eels look like they have given up the ghost this season.

Wests can smell blood in the water.

 

[Broncoman]

Naiqama was at least 2 meters outside

 

[Big Pete]

Perenara lacks common sense.

Who else could the ball rebounded off other than a Tigers player? Naiqama was obviously off-side there.

The Eels have been trash tonight, but calls like that only inflate the Tigers performance.

 

[Big Pete]

Okay, I'm officially confused.

Didn't Edwards initiate contact with Moses' outside shoulder?

I know we saw a similar situation on Thursday night with the Opacic try, but I thought there was a blanket ban?

Either way, the Tigers right fringe once again is a very easy target for teams to attack.

 

[vertigo]

What makes me angry is the attitude the Eels turn up with every week, with all the shit going on they still have a better attitude than us!

[Big Pete]

This penalty goal reminds me of eating a chocolate bar with a knife and fork.

It comes off as a mature decision, but in the end it doesn't really help the Tigers much.

Fortunately the Eels have next to nothing in attack.

 

[Big Pete]

Gee I don't know about that try to Sue.

It seemed like Naiqama pushed Toutai into the back before Vai made contact with the ball.

It shouldn't have gone that far either, Moses knocked it on at the scrum feed.

Wests have certainly had the rub of the green tonight.

 

[Big Pete]

Wests just had too much strike for the Eels tonight.

I still think they're a trainwreck, but at least a couple of their young players are standing up and making themselves counted for.
