how the f**k can nafe seluini not make this panthers side?

How can Uaisele & Earl get dropped but not Tighe & Simmons? Seluini, Robinson & Achurch dropped over Galea & Ciraldo.

Windsor are 2nd yet the players can't get a look in. Terrible.

Over 16,000 fans in Newcastle and only a couple on here..

Second half was atleast bareable to watch. PRovided Jennings pulls up it was a good night for NSW.

Only Penrith would lose by 20 to that Knights team... Still recovering from the mess Elliott left.

They might be recovering from Elliot, but they did go out and sign Ciraldo, Newton and Armit as their top 3 signings.

They arent doing a great job of 'recovering' if that is what they hang their hat on! Would have been better off just buying a heap of youngsters by promising them 1st grade action, and get them experience. Guys like Lewis, Grant, Walsh, Burns, Coote, Jennings etc. provide enough class and experience to justify not bringing in Ciraldo/Newton.

Good luck to you guys though, I dont mind the Panthers. A shame they couldnt continue to work with Graham and see the backrow was a better fit for him, as he and Lewis, with Plum/Smith in the middle would have made a handy backrow, with Grant and McKendry up front thats a good pack!

It's really becoming a bit irrelevant with the injuries piling up they are all going to be playing.

Our 20's and Windsor are going well this year but we continue to stick with the bloody nuffies!!!!

Maybe Ivan Cleary is 'Matt Elliott mark 2' when it comes to team selections.

 

[franklin2323]

On form we're the worst team in thecomp even though Parra are last.Our squad simply can't handle these injuries.

We aren't that bad. Sure we aren't the best but are close to a win. They scored a try off a Tighe dropped ball. 2 off Tighe poor defence reads. An intercept. We had Jennings drop it over the line. 2 disallowed by the video ref.

So we aren't far off pulling them all off a win & that could lead to a winning run.

Windsor 2nd. NYC 4th. We have better players but sadly they aren't getting used.

 

[pantherz9103]

Well we've got Storm, Manly, Dragons and Cowboys coming up. A dreaded run with our injuries and poor form. Although I guess we may get to play a team or two depleted by origin. I haven't studied the draw that closely yet though.

 

[Eddie.]

I feel sorry for Penrith. They are depleted and look utterly useless.

 

[Earl]

Penrith could do alot worse then putting a pen throught their whole team bar about 5 players and just giving all their 20's a run in first grade.

They are so pedestrian in attack, I really feel sorry for them. The best play they had was going 2 passes wide and watching Cameron Ciraldo or Clint Newton not bend the line at all. And that was when they were inside Newcastles 20.
