James Maloney...... what do you think so far?

[OldPanther]

He kicked the ball dead on 2nd tackle this week and throws a lot of bad passes each week. Looked better once Cleary went off tbh.

That would suggest it's a coaching issue not a player one.

There are numerous coaching issues in the team imo but you expect an international half to be able to hit the target on those passes. I think he just took control once Cleary went off.

Go to man now.

Just watched the Dogs game again and Maloney was f**king awful. Been shit for 18 months now. We are in BIG trouble

Any particular criticism? I won't have time to go over it till mid week.

The amount of passes that went behind players was not NRL standard. He's not looking like the player he was.

Funny you say that because Brandy said it was brilliant at training yet below par on the field. Think he could pass a ball by now.

Though I can only pass right to left so pot - kettle haha.

We are in a world of trouble if he can't take control of the side from here. What happened up till now is irrelevent. It is what happens from now on that matters.

Well we will find out whether he was a good investment or not while Cleary is out.

Im backing him to step up. But I wouldnt be surprised if he plays terribly and proves to be a dud either. I know he's had a history of success at other clubs. But he also had impeccable timing at joining them.

We have a pretty easy run while Cleary is out. On current form Ill go with:

Round 4 - Cowboys - loss
Round 5 - Eels - win
Round 6 - Titans - win
Round 7 - Sharks - loss
Round 8 - Bulldogs - win
Round 9 - Cowboys - loss
Round 10 - knights - win
Round 11 - Tigers - win
Round 12 - dragons - loss

Cowboys current form isnt great. But I feel like they will be much better. I think we can win atleast 5 games without Cleary and stay in the top 8. Climb to thr top 4 when he returns.

We didn't get a fair go in Townsville last year. Hard to imaging us getting one this time. I do think we can beat them at Bathurst, though.

 

[betcats]

We need to get a lot more out of Maloney now, if he doesn't step up and find some form this next 10 weeks then its a dud signing. He wanted to be paid like a star half now he better start playing like one. 14 missed tackles in 80 minutes is pathetic. He sits near the top of the handling errors stats as well. If you are going to be a liability like that you have to offer something.

 

[Abacus]

Yep, f**king stoked with him!!

 

[OldPanther]

That's a Maloney/10 tonight. Loved it.

I think we should all line up to suck his dick after that.

Time to line up I guess.

 

[mxlegend99]

3ither Maloney or Rhyno... the teo MVPSs tonight

 

[franklin2323]

Yep, f**king stoked with him!!

I did say by end of the season the haters would want to have his babies... Step 1 done tonight

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Pay him more

A lot more ... that was a master class against the worlds best

And put Hess on his Ass a few times

 

[hindy111]

Has cleary ever produced a performance like that? Simple amswer.NO
That was dominant by Maloney.

 

[age.s]

Best performance by a Panther half since Gower. Fair?

 

[Port Panther]

[Port Panther]

betcats your up after Umina .
