Round 2: Newcastle Knights vs Penrith Panthers

[Rob]

Eh slots don't you think it's ridiculous the refs dire need to even up the count. From us receiving genuine penalties for head highs etc to bs holding down for less than a fraction too long. Its a joke

 

[slotmachine]

Refs been the same both ways. They let too much go imo.

 

[Ljackson]

Close game. Our defence is holding firm - except for that lucky try on tackle 5.

 

[slotmachine]

They are doing better in yardage so far. Will be interesting to see how we respond

 

[Rob]

Our D looks good but they're still getting up the field easy.

 

[ImissVuna]

I think we are a solid defensive team. They got an incredibly lucky try to take the lead, not too worried. Kevin Walters said Penrith have been the better side I disagree I think we have just need to click in attack

 

[Matty James]

Glasby has been so solid the last two games defensively, looked weaker when he went off. Should realistically be 14-10 to us at the break but apparently Tamou was “obstructed” when he clearly could’ve made an effort to tackle Watson. Also, is offside and the shot clock still a thing for this game. There were some shocking calls that first half. Pretty even tussle though, just need to stop Penrith’s go forward and use the field position.

Either im biased or walters has no idea he said panthers have been the better side and only penalties are keeping newcastle in the game. I thought we were well on top until the ref decided he had to even up the penalty count.

Agree. We were well on top

 

[Beaumont]

I know it's only early days but hopefully Pearce has a dig soon.

 

[slotmachine]

Soft. Came out of of the sheds asleep.

That's why Herman was in reserve grade

 

[OnTilt]

That was short

 

[nunnsy]

That looked short on the replays

 

[ImissVuna]

It was short for sure. For sure

 

[knightime]

Hoping the refs feel as embarrassed as they should.

 

[Rob]

I didn't notice last yr and don't like buying into bs but is ese's D not quite there. Just lets them roll the yards out till they're ready to stop

 

[OnTilt]

No try ran off the ball

 

[slotmachine]

Panthers been the better side so far. We need to have a real crack

 

[nunnsy]

Thats no try but i thought we were playing close enough is good enough.

 

[Hughburt6]

Pearce has been average that’s for sure
