Milky might just play Centre as a straight swap as per team sheet. Not saying that’s how they roll, but how it’s listed .

Maybe I could have 'worded' that better. Ivan has obviously lost patience with Tago during pre season. The exact reason I'm not sure. He's a very talented player, but has fallen off a cliff (I believe) since T May left. Especially in defense.
Maybe he wasn't working hard enough at training, and others were.

Tago on decent coin is the issue.

Apparently 625k. Lomax I think was around 700k at the Eels.

Then you look at Jenkins on the meat pie and coke deal. He absolutely killed it in 2025. Tago just isn't giving us that kind of value.

Great first half.

Keeping in mind its round 1. Bunch of mistakes from both teams. You can see a bit of talk after errors in shape from both sides.

Papali'i has looked likely a number of times. Made one bad pass on his own but I felt his other errors were on the halves. Tailagi threw a bad one that he managed to take so he could have more errors at this point.

Jenkins is a wonder on that left side. Tago might find it hard to crack back into the starting side.

Almost guaranteed the momentum will swing at some point.

We need to complete way better in the 2nd half and keep up the intensity.

Greta to see the boys back and switched on. Remover the bad old days when you could almost guarantee the Panthers would be unprepared at the start of the season. I think we even lost the first two games of 2003.

Paul alamonti other than that drop has been good. Nothing to flashy but defending well so far. Id like to see them give him a bit more early ball and just see him pin the ears back

Defence is an A, attack is rusty AF and gets a C. Game still in the balance, the Broncos have plenty to offer yet. I like the look of Phillips. Milky is amazing!
