I still remember the young dude ringing me to ask me to rejoin. I said no chance of that until McGregor is gone. Could almost hear him shrug his shoulders.
He thanked me politely and that was that.

And probably put you down as a maybe that’s good enough as a positive snd a membership number count and showed he is reaching his KPIs

We need Sims and Frizell to have a blinder if we are to be in the game against Many. It is lucky that AFB and Tom Turbo are out but Garrick might just decide to fire against his old Club.

I am tipping a good game from Hunt at hooker and McInnes at lock. Once Williame comes back and Ramsey comes in on the left wing to start, we should have a competitive 17. I'd like to see Blacker get some time on the bench in place of Merrin over the next few games.

With the Titans winning our game has become a very interesting one.

Win and we could move up to 11th and McGregor looks like surviving longer.

Lose and we are 14th and McGregors walking faster along that green mile.

Lose and Broncos win we can drop to 15th. I wonder if that axe has been sent to get sharpened

Torn on what result is best for us.

Option C would be best but knowing the smug tosser they’ll jag a win and be sitting 11th with next weeks game vs the bulldogs to come!!

I’d love that we win as many games as possible so that the short term is enjoyable, and that the board come to their senses and punt the potato so that the long term is successful..

But hey, I’m an optimist..

 

[Stan Gorton 2511]

We came 15th last year and nothing happened so not expecting anything if we lose lol

We are no chance of making the top eight & playing semis.
2020 is another right off year, yet can be remembered as the year of a global pandemic & finally the eradication of Mary the Peanut coach.
For this to happen, I’d be more than comfortable for the team to remain winless to guarantee hope for the future.

If Dragons win tomorrow I expect us to sneak into the 8 at seasons end..madness I know but the future draw is so complimentary to us that a win tomorrow will Instil a self belief into the team and w a 60% win ratio going forward will get us to 20 points being the cut off for the 8 .. the good news continues to be that the coaching staff are continuing to tinker w the starting line up.. I expect at some point if Norman fails to impress tomorrow or next week that Sailor comes into 5/8.. I’m just saying as unlikely as it sounds this team may start growing in confidence IF IT WINS TOMORROW (caveat)

 

[redv13]

If the team has a decent crack then they could win the next 3 games and be 5-6 and close to the 8.... interesting few weeks ahead.

I would have more confidence if the NRL reduced Flanagan's suspension by a year but ceiled his salary at the current figures for 2021. In this way, Flanagan will still serve out punishiment but can assume the head coach role for season 2021.

You’ve outdone yourself here possm.

I don’t even know where to start.

 

[ChocOConnor]

Good to see the panthers giving the young blokes a crack at the top grade. Just shows what can happen if you give some talented kids some confidence

You reading this McGregor you peanut
Get sailor in at 6 give Saab a few more weeks and then let Ramsey on the other wing. I bet Dessie tomorrow would be shocked at that line up

throw Blacker in for good measure and let them play Rugby league
