Gotta say, it’s a tough ride for Tago, the way he played and he only just gets in the 17…..we are spoilt at the moment.

Very professional first half.

Our biggest ever winning margin - do I need to say any more?

WOW! What a performance!!!

Was sure worth the drive down the M4 to CommBank.

Well done to all the Panther fans who made the journey to support the boys in an away game.

I’ll come back with my thoughts when I’ve had a beer or two

What a performance!

I will have to be a hard marker not to give every player a 10.

We came so close but just fell short 80-68 (against the clock that is :joy:).

I wonder if May will think twice before trash talking the panthers on social media again.

Pity Moses misses out playing state of origin by 3 days or so, he would be the first name picked!

Another coach than Daley would have Milky and Alomotti in contention.

It’s a strong team for sure when Garner doesn’t even get a run lol.

And to think we have Kenny coming back to look forward to.

Well… I wasn’t doubting we would lose this game, but I expected a modest scoreline maybe a 12 to 18 point margin, but Penrith were clinical and dissected the West Tigers live in 4K.

It’s hard to fault anything… execution was spot on and the attack was relentless. The Tigers barely had time to think yet alone defend.

I saw the momentum tracker on Fox Sports… it’s the fist time I have ever seen it only point in one direction, and the first time I have seen it ‘max out’.

I am aware the Tigers were missing some players, but that is hardly the excuse for such a scoreline. Tigers fans are quick to blame the ref, but these scorelines will continue for them if they don’t first acknowledge there deficencies.

The Panthers have earned themselves some we deserved rest with the bye next week, also well deserved Blue jumpers fro those who have been selected.

I was in Panthers backyard, had a Soufs supporter tell me it was a boring game, I just laughed and laughed…Absolutely superb - to 0 - that is the gold stamp

Oh yeah, that “dodgy” call when Geyer collected Cleary’s leg in the act of kicking was clearly wrong & cost them the game, they could easily have made up the 36 point deficit at the time :man_facepalming::roll_eyes:

Kenny may have trouble getting back into the team when fit, if Lussick keeps playing the way he has. :thinking:

Lussick scoring a few tries as well…he has fired in really well. Great pick up.
