Bloody hell Panthers, that's another disappointing defeat. After that Mansour try I thought the game was won. I should have known better.
I hope Cartwright's injury is not serious because he's one of my favourite players in that team.
1-3 doesn't seem to be a fair reflection of the Panthers performances so far but results are the only thing that matter in the end.
By the way how good is that fullback from the Dragons? The guy is a f**king monster, I was scared he would just run past players every time he got the ball
Yep. Made the trip down the coast to watch it only to be abused by their fans for the entirety of it because of Merrin and Soward's past with the Dragons.
I finally got to turn around for 5 minutes and give them sh*t when we led until we decide to let a F***ing kick off go out of bounds and lose the game. Made for an embarrassing few minutes for me and i fu**ed off home.
We should be 4/4 having led every game inside the final 10 minutes and thrown it away 3 weeks now. F***ing annoying.
Cartwright is fine. Thumb was feared broken but it was a dislocation and he's back in the side this week. Smith was knocked out cold but he was walking down the street to the bus at full-time.
Good thing is we have a side who is putting in 80 minutes worth of effort but defensive lapses late in the game could be the difference between finals footy or not, especially against the likes of Dragons and Raiders who will be fighting with us to fill up the top eight. Just hope we learn from that second half where we gave our backs some ball and let Mansour, Hiku and Waitene-Zelezniak run the ball more by giving them some early ball and not just giving it to a forward to run up when we're on the attack.
And their fullback is Josh Dugan. A beast of a player but an absolute fuckwit. Google his past and his appreciation of Bacardi Breezers. He'll be playing Origin for NSW again this year.
