NSW Cup Grand Final - Dogs vs Panthers (NSWRL TV/Facebook)

[Captain Ibis]

well boys thats it for the year we cant afford anymore players so we stuck with what we have now for 2023 for better or worse we can sit back now and reflect on another incompetent wasted year with a coach whom should never have been there in the first place

we had a few good performers but Toia needs to be more hungry at the back, and Alamoti needs to go looking for the ball. Grey was really good, and Makatoa.. and of course Topine and Morrin

lets hope our new coach has fresh ideas and the team actually listens to him because take a look at Penrith today 3 premierships this year and another one to go thats how you do it boys you keep the ball alive you are as fit at the end of the game as you are when you start and you make every effort to cross the half way line in the first 3 play the balls not the 6th and when you kick on the 6th you actually catch the ball not stand back and watch it happen and please too slow in the play the balls there is no surprise in the attack then

 

[Captain Ibis]

honestly I carried on during this but I think we did better than I expected all up.. Crucial mistakes were super costly

 

[Old Woof Woof]

it was an inconsistent game we catch up then next six we fuck up again

 

[Old Woof Woof]

just like most games in first grade the same situations time after time they have no killer instinct like the days of old

Yeah, you can see that the junior Panthers play like the first grade team because as a club they have those expectations. We had a few guys ripping in but other's not as hungry or being lazy and that's just the vibe of our club at the moment and it needs to change

 

[Captain Ibis]

Lol some jerk off in the match thread made a comment about us being a powerhouse and saying we're more like the Tigers

Bulldogs - 18 grand finals Panthers - 5
Bulldogs premierships - 8 Panthers - 3
Bulldogs minor premierships - 7 Panthers - 4

They're in a white hot period but they've still got some catching up to do.

Based on Panthers and Bulldogs in the NRL, and your stats above.

Panthers: 1 premiership every 18.6 years, and making the Grand Final every 11.2 years.
Bulldogs: 1 premiership every 10.8 years, and making the Grand Final every 4.8 years.

Sure we had an era of dominance in the past, but thats no different to what Panthers are experiencing now.

yeah. I mean both clubs are big brands and it was a bit of a dumb comment to make during a NSW Cup game.. ah well bit of banter.. Now I just want us back in the finals where we rightly belong!

Panthers pumped Norths Devils. Just shows what a gun team they are. Makes our loss look even more respectable

Though Norths were without Gamble and Roberts.
