credit to Penrith, lose the chin early in the game and they fight back. great intensity for a wet weather match too, you would think Storm should come out on top, but both teams still right in this

funny game. At one point i thought Melbourne would score 50, but like a couple of teams last week, the "win big week 1, easy start the next game" trap opened up and Melbourne fell in it.
Penrith definitely adjusted defensively and started to shut down those Melbourne shapes. Throw in a greasy night and it got ugly. Melbourne did have their outsides impacted by injury which opened up the spots Penrith attacked.
One thing about Penrith is they are so well drilled. They are a "system" team (and i don't mean that as a negative) and when they run their plays, no matter who is involved, they are all at pace and in synch. Those two To'o tries last night were done to perfection, and look at the names handling the ball. They are not big name Penrith players. Great fucking squad, and Cleary is a way better coach now than he has ever shown before.

Yeah Penrith will be happy with that performance despite the loss. Cole funnily enough looks more comfortable as a 7 than 6, and they seem to suit a more running 6 like Talagi and Luai in years gone by. Jenkins was also impressive from the back apart from not contesting the high ball in the Coates try, and Alamoti had a huge night in the centres.
As mariner said, looked like 50 was on the cards, but credit to Penrith, they're elite for a reason.

CNK must go

So should CHT

So we finally do a half decent kick on the 5th and contest the high ball and we score.
Who would’ve thunk it
-
Tedesco can't jump. Wahs might want to try that again.
-
That’s a poor miss on the extras.
-
Gee he hits the line hard.
-
Good to see the points come after a period of dominating field position.
-
14-6 to the good guys.

You should put him down more often.
You have to laugh, as soon as you bag both, they both stand up
Big win in a grind, a lot of positives with our first win over those fluffybunnies since 2018

Not hard for to believe me because I keep going to see them at the SFS.
