Round 1 Panthers Vs Cowboys - Panthers Stadium

[WestyLife]

We have the best playing surface in the game so it should be a dry track despite some rain in recent days.

I hope we play mistake free footy, that seems to be a key to success. The side that dominates possession, makes less mistakes and the better kicking game will probably prevail this evening.

Considering the new rules I'd say you're right. Fatigue will play a big part and controlling possession will control fatigue.

Yeah the boys!

@franklin2323 Turuva back in flegg. What do you make of that. Didn't it get said he'd be up a grade?

Round 1, new season, home game, tough one too and we seem more obsessed with conversations around May’s civil proceedings and whether or not Jimmy M was a dud.

Really big game tonight, there are questions around our front row rotation, outside backs, fullback so it is going to be very interesting.

I was disappointed at first but Look at the nsw cup back line, 1-6 are nrl contracted players and Turuva is a development player, it makes sense.

Connor mason moved up to the flegg side, he looks like a good young half.

Didn't think of that. NSW cup is stacked. Makes you feel good about the depth in case of injury.

No big deal, he’s got a full 12 months in Flegg/NSW cup so show whether he is the real deal or not. Baby steps, no need to rush him.

Yep it looks like a good side. Tago and May are a bit unknown but they obviously have some talent given they’ve been promoted.

Needs work at things like draw and pass. He learns more at FB in Flegg then he will on the wing in NSW Cup

Was looking at the season Launch photos of Turuva, May, Tago and Hopgood, they look like super athletes made me pine for the days when the Presidents Cup backs all looked like young Iggy Pops and forwards resembled Meatloaf at any age.

Very ordinary game here. We are behind 6-4 in Flegg

 

[franklin2323]

Oh poor bugger.

Since then he gave away a penalty in possession and now binned.

What's going on. He sounds shot mentally. Really had high hopes for him this year after all his issues.

I see Naden gone soon.
