Not sure how Chricton gets 10 in the bin for getting up early, while Horsburgh doesn’t for wrapping his legs around Edwards head. I think the officials need to look at how some of these things get penalised.
it was a penalty but what about the Raiders players running in to cause a stir?
I want to see a vast improvement in our effort and execution because we look at odds
Wasn’t expecting a score like that!!! It looks like our attack is starting to find its rhythm & our new combinations are sorting themselves out.
Great effort by our forwards after losing JFH early. Especially impressed with Smith & Hosking.
For me, the best moment was Salmon bringing up our half century to rub salt into the wound after Ricky’s comments last year. Might have to watch his presser to see what he has to say this time.
I get the point about Stuart and what he said but why aren’t you all focussing on what we did last night and for some what we didnt do?
IC addressed the Salmon try by saying Karma, isn’t it great (or words to that affect)
I am more focussed on us and despite the scoreline we shouldn’t turn away from our issues.
Luai for me doesn’t look comfortable in attack, oddly his defence and defensive reads are great but its attack which has me concerned.
Point to note was last night when Raiders made the break and Tago took off and in the end made the tackle which saved the try, Luai was simply standing and was an onlooker.
Its not to isolate Luai as the only observer or person who missed their assignment last night. Even the solid Edwards made many mistakes along with others who had missed efforts and assignments
Not to take anything away from a great win and maybe Canberra played us back into form, but IMO to focus on Stuart does not add anything to the discussion.
and ST, the comment from you about Ricky is below your usual well constructed posts.
I am no RS fan but believe this is a Panthers forum and we should focus on us, not them!
I think we’re within our rights to hit back at a coach that has been riding the coat tails of a roosters team from 20 years ago.
The attack will take time. It’s been brought up on other platforms but i’m not sure mentally and physically the side could stay up for another year - through the entire season.
I think (hopefully) Ivan is trying to time our run. We were never going to get everything right for round 1 after such a short pre season. The key thing though - our defence - still appears to be the best in the league. If that remains throughout the year we might just pull of a three peat in October.
We have been conceding an average of around 2 tries per game for the last 3 seasons. So far this season we have conceded 2 tries in each game, regardless of the result. It appears to be business as usual for our defence.
Last night we showed what we are capable of in attack, despite a number of errors.
We are going to be there at the business end of the season again, and giving ourselves a good chance for the threepeat.
