Travelling Circus Returns Home

I did a double take when the coverage of Saturday night’s league coverage started in Penrith. The ground was of course awash with pink to celebrate the Women in League round, yet the first shot of the Warriors in their dressing room took me by surprise. They were wearing an odd jersey for an away match in a special round, their plain black home strip.

“What the **** is this shit!” I exclaimed. I then realised the Panthers had stolen our thunder, and had turned out in their own novelty pink strip! Management must have been seething, Manu’s manager must have been ropeable! Novelty jerseys are our thing, we invented them, we get to wear and sell them first! No matter, we soon put this great injustice behind us and meekly surrendered to a rampaging pink panther outfit. After all, we wouldn’t want to take the focus off Women-In-League or, more importantly – their pink jerseys. This was...

Woeful.

Anyway, was there anyone deserving of a Man of the Match from our perspective?

I only saw the 2nd half, so from my POV - nothing has changed.

Weak shit. This side is very poor. No point bursting out of the blocks if you turn to crap when it counts.

Anyway, who was your MoM?
