If we were to drop this game I know who to blame already.. I don’t get the ‘resting’ of players who can potentially play unless you’re safe in the 4 or the 8 and we aren’t safe in either just yet!

Have you blokes seen our lineup lol
It doesn’t read:

7. Brad Schneider

So advantage Souths. Throw in Matt Eisenhuth for good measure.

Not saying we can’t win. Or won’t win. But its not a guarantee and we can’t be taking an easyish 2 points and making them harder to get when we are barely in the 8. We have lost so many easy games this year. Including Souths in Round 4.

But it does read:

9. Havili
12. Host
16. Keppie
17. Dodd

So, congrats on the win.

3-4 years ago, the Panthers had to play their stars busted, needled up with broken bones (literally), just to beat us.

Now, they can happily rest Cleary and Yeo.

What a fall from grace.
Ivan respects Wayne Bennett and Souths less than Parra without Moses......

Overall I don't mind the resting. It's no use limping into the finals everyone busted, either get there in a state to win or what does it matter? Our situation is different to some other teams who need to show progress like making the 4 or 8. I suppose this is where a coach can really prove their worth by being able to measure how much he can rest the squad while still picking up the wins.

Our draw has worked out pretty average, not particularly good or bad. We have a run of easy games, as we have a run of hard games, 2 of the top 4 twice, 1 of the 5-8 (besides ourselves) twice but gave up a home game to play Brisbane at Magic Round.

No need to get all uppity

A 14 week period of the below is user friendly wouldn't you agree?

Cowboys
Bye
Knights (Origin)
Eels
Wests
Bye (Origin)
Warriors
Dogs
Bye (Origin)
Eels
Souths
Wests
Titans
Knights
Dogs twice
Melbourne twice
Easts twice
Souths twice
Parra twice
Cows twice
Knights twice

Seems resonably friendly, but when it was made 5 of the 7 had made the 8, only one of the top 4 was missing. The best laid plans of mice and men. But thanks for confirming Panthers are back and you are shitting bricks.
