What on earth did Meaney think he was doing there?

Dominated for 30 minutes and somehow behind at half time.

Yep complete drop off after 30 minutes.

We’ve had issues with those types of kicks close to the line. The centres and back rowers aren’t leapers at all.

Best 30 we’ve played all year, then we just lost the plot, bit of luck and we are still in it up to our eyeballs, NAS was lucky to get awarded that try its a knock on all day, still in it but I wonder how much we have left in the tank.

Yep, I didn't recognise the team for the first 30 minutes - the best we've seen all year, maybe two - then we threw it all away and returned to form. Ridiculous to give up 3 tries in the last 7 or 8 minutes.

Reimis’ effort on the second and third tries both extremely poor.

Pretty astounding drop off although feels harsh to be behind. 40 mins to put it right…

Our forwards especially Harry did all the early damage, our 1-6 has been quite poor backing them up, Olam and Coates unsighted, Meaney invisible after some nice early involvement, I always hate the early lead we seem to get very complacent and Penrith are the last team to relax against, reset and bring some of that opening energy to start the 2nd half!

Has a ref ever had a more one sided game than Adam Gee? Guy may as well have a hat trick tonight

Atrocious last 50mins

Sure some bad decisions but don’t deserve anything.

Really can’t see us doing anything this year
