Bit of a danger game this one. A few weeks ago I would have thought this was an easy 2 points. But Des Hasler is holding on by just a thread.

They played well last week and got over the line, and there is more spirit than I have seen from the Titans in past weeks. Playing Penrith this week, they will be out with a point to prove.

I told the wife to tip the titans last week, but she didn’t.

After the spray and noise in the media titans were always going to be up for the game. Same to a coach getting sacked.

Can’t recall too many lasting that long though, Titans should return to their troubles soon enough.

Not sure we will take them for granted, 15 years ago maybe, but not this current generation under Ivan

TELSTRA PREMIERSHIP

JERSEY FLEGG CUP

HARVEY NORMAN NSW WOMENS PREMIERSHIP

Jersey Flegg change for today (from NSWRL site):
Penrith Panthers v Kaiviti Silktails has now been moved to the Penrith Panthers Academy, kicking off from 3pm today.

The Dolphins have made today’s encounter a little more interesting, with the Dolphins defeating the Warriors this week a win over the Titans puts us a point away from the Top 4.

Titans went with us for the first 10-15, before we clicked into gear. Very professional performance in the last 20 to race to a big lead.

Talagi has been sensational with his kick for the Jenkins try & chasing the kick for his own.

The young guys are really shining.

Lot of errors to start the 2nd half. Better get our fingers out & our minds back on the job.

I think we got a complacent with the big lead at half time. Good effort to push it to extra time.

Happy to get the out of gaol and get the 2 points, but not happy with us dropping our bundle in the second half.

Very lucky to win. I think we were poor in the early stages of the first half and disappointing in the second half. Thank goodness for what may be one of the best field goals ever.

The trainer who ran in front of the Campbell kicking the goal needs to be severely reprimanded. At this level it is not acceptable and it reflects very very poorly on the club.

Lack of respect for the titans in that second half. Played like the game was over in the first half. They must know that all teams lift to try and beat the 4 time premiers. Good that they lifted in the last few minutes.

I echo the same thoughts - didn’t respect the titans and played down to it. We didn’t deserve to win but I’m also amazed and happy at the victory.

Got to hand it to Nathan though - the guts, poise and talent to pull that 2 pointer off… Penrith’s all time best. We are lucky to have him.

That must have been close to the worst half of a game this season. Absolute ill discipline. I found it hard to pick three MoMs. It was so disrespectful to the opposition. It reminded me of the bad old days, when Penrith would lead at half time, then completely switch off. My confidence of a top 4 finish has been severely dented, after that display. Even the commentators wanted Gold Coast to win.

I hope that Yeo hasn’t injured his shoulder too badly.

Interestingly, in the past this forum has seen much criticism of Badger as a ref (well deserved, most likely). But today she overturned two crappy calls from the ref. He didn’t help our cause with those calls, and with some of his second half calls.
