    2020 season

    Going to an 8 or 10 man committee is just about as bad as having one, part-time guy running the place. How are you supposed to get consensus with that many people wanting input. I have to say that I am a fan of Capewell. I don't buy the story that we have significantly strengthened our squad...

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    Another one gone, it is not a rebuild though... Get set for the excuse hymn sheet from the three wise men: 1. we're young and inexperienced; 2. we lack leadership; and 3. it is a new playing group that needs time to gel. It is not a rebuild though... Did you hear the rumor that an actual...

    2019 Discussion

    Sucks not playing finals!! I would take Hook's "we can't defend and we can't really attack either but we can win" footy and actually play in the finals over the "we're young, inexperienced and inconsistent but by gosh, we'll get there one day" footy that we've got to put up with now. DH with...

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    So you dump a coach, and give him a huge pay out, because apparently he couldn't man manage well enough. Then you go and move on a whole bunch of players, that apparently he couldn't manage, anyway. Bring back Richo!

    2020 season

    Yep. Hook wasn't a super coach by any means but we were fit, strong and intense. He did get four of our players into the Blues team. Those players don't even look close to that ability now. Agree that we needed to move on but we missed our opportunity to move up. I saw Kent's article today...

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    Brisbane and Melbourne have a huge nursery of hard-working, talented forwards that we should be looking to poach. They can’t keep them all. Surely there will be one or two that want to play bigger minutes or more regular NRL footy that would be willing to move. But that kind of astute, tactical...

    Round 22 Vs the Donkeys

    I thought so.

    Round 22 Vs the Donkeys

    Great win on the weekend! One of the best I have seen in a few years from the Panthers. I enjoyed it so much mainly due to the fact that there were so many young guys playing. Hopefully that was our ‘Baby Broncos’ game and the club can build the next few years on the character some of the first...

    General Discussion Thread

    A question for those who have inside knowledge of the Panthers footy department, how much of an influence has Ben Harden had on the group that debuted this year? Is he a significant reason why these guys are able to debut so early and, seemly, handle the pressure of NRL? Also, is he a future NRL...

    Particularly when there were two coaches on the market that were worth at least interviewing.

    Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I tend to agree that a bit of consistency is better than a roller coaster ride. But that 2010 team is underrated in my opinion. Waterhouse, Lewis, Petro, Flash, Coote, Jennings, McKendry (a young aggressive version), even Wade Graham got a few good games in... I...

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    I'm a fan of big, aggressive and mobile forward packs with plenty of mongrel. We lack aggression I think. With 700-800k in the bank I reckon we try and sign Christian Welch, Brandon Smith, Adam Blair (kinda past it I know) or one of the Saifiti's. Cleary and Luai can play off the back of our...

    General Discussion Thread

    Nothing anyone has done after that season has counted for anything more really. A few season's we have had lower table finishes and one win in the finals. That's it. The Panther's recent PTB can sing about how much better we are now but they haven't achieved anything more than 2010 with Leary...

    General Discussion Thread

    Hi everyone, I’m new to contributing to the forum. Reading it for a while now. Grew up in Penrith and still live here. Played ra-ra all through my high school years but switched to league after watching Brad Drew lead an undermanned Penrith team to a win over Brisbane at Panther Stadium. I want...
