OK Schoupp gets some points for forcing that error.

If we swapped jerseys, I'm pretty sure Fisher-Harris goes to the bin for that hip drop. Jenkins was lucky too (although I understand him not getting binned) but there you go again. It's not like Penrith and the better teams need any help against us but they consistently get it.
Either way, still not good enough tonight. Lofi is really getting under my skin with his lack of effort in D. He's one of the slower defenders in the game. I think he could have saved one or two tonight if he put the foot down. And that kick was ridiculous! He's got Edwards for pace every day of the week! He could have just burned him but bombed a try instead. If he doesn't smarten himself up now, Des is going to give him a really hard time.
I thought Liu and Stimson could have played more minutes, especially in that second half when we're shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic. I was also confused by the shuffle when Sami went off. Why not DF at left centre, Kelly right wing or inside Schoupp? Is Alick a better centre than DF? He did well there though. I thought they'd really target him but he held his own. He's worth keeping. I would have liked to see him at left edge inside DF at centre. I reckon Lofi might have got some good ball in space.
So frustrated that Titans seem to get **** calls all the time. Cleary passes the ball forward four metres, and Schoup gets sent off for tackling a player trying to chase after the forward pass.
Won't get the chance to watch the game til tomorrow morning. How'd Weaver go? Did JC actually do his ACL?
I thought Weaver was pretty solid considering he was debuting against the top team in the comp. Probably was a bit cocky early on with an early kick in the set that wasn't communicated and that turned momentum when we had all the ball. I'm happy he chances his arm and communicates it but that one didn't come off. Most of his kicking game was good enough.
They'll wait on scans for JC but they're hopeful it's not that bad. Aren't we all. I think Des threw his peanuts at the screen when JC went down.
Butler and Badger, the dream team. More like Bevis and Butthead. I cannot remember the last hip drop that did not earn ten in the bin.
The escort in a scoring position also was a howler, and Jerome Lui knocked on just before their try, the ref was on the wrong side to see it but the bunker must have seen it.
We were never going to win that game , but it rankles that we were cheated out of the opportunity.
Cannot wait for Mondays Press conference from Annersley. Mucking Fuppetts.
Some of those calls were a bit off but my bigger concern is how badly we got rolled through the middle again. I can’t put my finger on it but for some reason we just give away so many metres through the middle.
Thought we played Randall for too long when we had Stimson on the bench. Not a big fan of this small middle forward rotation.
Despite the howlers last night which cost us big time again, there is no doubt the Panthers were a better team. They are superbly fit and play at top speed for very long periods of time on both sides of the ball which we could not match for the 80 min with the same players making the same mistakes when fatigue and when the going got tough. Also the Panthers have very high levels of individual skills.
We have a long way to go to get to the top and will have the same squad for the next 3 years. Des will have to be a miracle worker
