Post-Game Discussion Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

[Mark from Brisbane]

He is out buying his WA bears jersey

Good

 

[jbay]

Wow the bunker and the reff did there best to take it off us

 

[Dan]

Simpkin is thr pure hooker we have missed for years

 

[nightster]

I thought Belinda was actually OK first half... or perhaps because everything was going our way I missed her poor calls. This second half she has just lost it.

She was told at half time that the NRL don’t want to see the riff bottom of the table

 

[Rafferty]

I hope he says his proud of the boys tonight, because they deserve it

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Simpkin is thr pure hooker we have missed for years

Absolutely MUST be the run on 9 from here on.

 

[JBW]

I'm really really fckn happy with that win. We'll never see Turbo at his best again. But his presence just makes a difference to this team.

Jazz is a back tower, plain and simple. Jake S was fantastic in the 9. Unfortunately Gordie isn't first grade.

Refs were rubbish. So bad. Both teams got some duds to be fair.bit our dud calls really swung momentum.

90% completion rates is fantastic.

Did we look better in defence around the ruck without Jake and Toff ?

Who would have thought a Canterbury Bankstown supporter on the Silvertails forum was the only one backing and believing in the Eagles
Well deserved win
Enjoy

 

[bob dylan]

She's seriously taking the piss right?

They give her half a dozen nothing games every year. Seems a bit early to call on her but it looked a nothing match on paper.

 

[Chunkytuna]

I’m holding back want I wanna say about this ref.

Why hold back? Just because she’s a woman?? She’s the ref and deserves the same criticism as any other ref.

 

[The better Robbo]

We looked better with Simpkins at #9 and Tevaga at lock. Tevaga and Jake should share the #13 role. Forwards had a dig tonight too. Please get rid of this stupid sin bin rule.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

A few thing’s learned tonight and hopefully the coaching staff take note
Simpkins starting hooker
Jazz starts at lock or bench depending on Jake starting but being interchanged
Waddell dropped and Navale to take his bench spot

 

[Waz13]

Is this a record for captain challenges . I’ve never seen a worse and more one sided performance from a ref (except the 2013 gf)

Wasn’t there another game BS did where there were mass captains challenges that the teams kept winning?

 

[Dingo]

Wow the bunker and the reff did there best to take it off us

It’s getting ridiculous not just for us but every team. 18 bins in the last 6 games is just crazy and basically every game is decided by 1 or 2 wrong tackles unless you’re good enough to hold on.

Great win tonight but most proud of holding on when they got so much momentum early in the half, we often lose after that. Bye will be great for some much needed recovery, consistency is key now which is the hardest thing for us.

And… TURBO GOT THROUGH THE GAME 🥳😀

 

[Waz13]

The TKO sin binning and Yeo not getting sin binned will do me. It just proves there's corruption and favouritism in this game.

Yep was the worst of the night. Swinging arm caught him clean and prob broke his nose. Total joke.

 

[Jerry1]

Well it turned out to be a gritty win in the end. Well done for not caving as we would of in the past.

 

[Bloke on the hill]

Great team effort tonight, also pleased for Seibold who proved a lot of people wrong about his coaching!

Proof that the high tackle crackdown is a bit of a joke
With Manly challenging one and winning the challenge
Who would think it comes to challenging high tackles

 

[eaglebuzz]

We need to turn Jake back into an impact forward. His long minutes at lock just don't work as well as what we could get out of him sharing the lock role with Tevaga or Navale.

You weren’t the only one.

Some of us prefer to say nothing, rather than run the risk of ending up with egg plastered over our faces. Like the ‘Ye of Little Faith Set’ who have been blathering away across several threads.
