Few times I've seen Spencer Leniu play he's always looked useful.

No offence, it's just constructive feedback for you and your nation 

Couple of weeks to change it before WC

Two big errors there. 

The knock on before the line and now getting carried into touch. I understand why he went for it, but he always looked covered and surely had to succumb to being tackled and keeping possession

According to Joey the Kangaroos are going away to the World Cup in a couple of weeks.  They will have missed the Fiji game then.

Too good. From scoring the first try Penrith have never looked like being anything other than comfortable winners.

Talk about an anti-climax to the NRL season.

Hope the players pull up safe and sound for the main proceedings coming in ''a couple or weeks''.

Let’s hope there was a big wind behind the Panthers that first half

How bads the slope.

I watched about 20 minutes total of the whole game, Penrith`s relentless lift and drag back is against the spirit of the game for me, suffocates opposition teams attack and makes games unbearable to watch. 

I thought the whole point of the tackle was to get the opposing player to the ground, not the opposite. Showcase games like this deserve better.

We have reached a point where the ball carrier tries to get to the ground and the tacklers tries to keep him up.

It definitely feels a bit Bizarro World.

Not the greatest of games for those wanting a close game but that said, Penrith were near perfect for much of that game and it was a pleasure to watch.

can't add much more than that - maybe the greatest sporting unit on the face of the planet at the moment - it's up to the rest to try and get near them somehow but how is the question?

I know Bono and he knows Ono and she knows Enos phone goes thus

Dunbar I said that exact same thing to my son not 5 minutes ago when he rang me after the game. 

Ivan Cleary has realised what Melbourne did on the ground with the wrestle and was eventually outlawed, you can now do legally if you keep the player off the ground. Pure ###### tactical genius.

Outlaw all that in the tackle, because if that`s how you win competitions, then wake me up when it`s over. Because eventually they will outlaw it, because that stuff isn`t going to attract and keep new fans. Even the idiot Johns had a bit of a dig on the FTA coverage tonight about Penrith`s defensive tactics, and that`s saying something.

The post match presentation is more tedious than a Union scrum seminar 

It could be moved along. The whole thing is so scripted. Even the announcer telling Cleary to go celebrate, that he ''knows what to do''. Meh, I want a bit of spontaneity.

I suppose it highlights each player, but it's not for me.

Not sure if it has been mentioned on this thread but I really don't like the spidercam. 

Each set with the spidercam I find disorientating and difficult to follow, I much prefer the normal side on shot.
