I still think we have a dumb game in us, I just hope they have learnt their lessons
I think this year we bounce back better from a dumb game. I remember after the loss to the Broncos (I think) I just assumed that would be it, our season would be over as we reverted to type, but they threw egg all over my face and just kicked on.

@bayimports the loss at home in the wet was a very poor loss. We played with very little intensity and made dumb decisions.
Hope that was it!

didn't everything that could go wrong did go wrong in that Broncos game? and we still nearly nicked it?

Yeah, I think it was fairly close, maybe I was thinking about the later Rabbitohs match?

well if you meant go wrong..because we lost to a team of kids because all their stars were on SOO leave or injured..then yes it went wrong, but we still found a way to almost win
Or did you mean it went wrong before it started because they played it at Napier? We all know nothing good happens in the Hawkes.

Never. Again.

Penrith play. Penrith win. But, their attack is clunky as fuck at the moment. They won by 12 last night. One try should never have been awarded. Another was a gift from an early kick gone wrong. They are struggling a bit to create tries.
But when you dominate field position, and only give up a couple of tries a game, you don't need to create many to win. If, and it's a massive it, another team can put them under scoreboard pressure it will be interesting to see how they go.
Manly came with a different plan last night. The early shifts to get around the middle we have all talked about. But they also repeatedly kicked early to try and get field position. It worked a bit, but never looked like a tactic that was going to generate points. And then Garrick and the defense had that moment and it was all over.

Hey, why are you joining with the BoP trolls?
Theoretically, as a dude named Canefan McLean Park is one of your home grounds.

Damn, I can't retort to this as I care about Canes fans as much as I care about BoP fans.

Apart from second half handling errors, kicking early too many times cost Manly, Schuster had one, Garrick two (including that one from Garrick who I swear thought he was playing union for a second tries to drive play back into opponents 22) . Even Saab didn't appear to know what was going on and gave up on the chase. They ended up with close to a 50% completion rate in the second half as well and let Penrith back in.
Now their season is gooone
I do maintain we have one of the few forward packs that can go at Penrith.
If Penrith secure a top two spot, then Cows might be lucky enough to find they play a B team in round 27

Cows need to win a couple before then to make that even mean anything

@mariner4life nah, you should beat the sharks at home after the bye, you then have Dolphins. I have you making the eight even if you lose to the Panthers. Your draw is better than some others who are on life support

Barnett needs to get some sticky spray on his hands.
Now a breakaway try to the Tigers.
Poor alignment by the Warriors to have our two front rowers next to each other and the Tigers 5/8 exploits it.

Tuaupiki caught in no man’s land a bit there too. Either really commit to the ball carrier or just sag off
