    General Discussion Thread

    Awesome observation Pomoz! Applies to some of our pack as well ie. Liam, Kenny & Soro. Definitely punch above their weight! Using a military analogy, reminds me of the Gurkha fighters - dont even bother because you WILL come off second best!

    Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

    Not gonna lie, it does burn losing him as he was a fan favourite & seemed to be very close with the boys too. Played with passion when he wanted to (this year's GF!) but sometimes that resulted in poor performances too (last year's GF!). It will be hard seeing him in another jersey but...

    General Discussion Thread

    exactly plus gotta keep the little brother down constantly. just make up the numbers for those that matter. how dare a battler rise up & use happiness (in their eyes hubris) to rub faces in it!? someone posted earlier likening it to the cricket analogy when other 'lesser' teams have stood up to...

    2021 Grand Final: Panthers V Souths

    Still trying to recover from last night however I'm surprised that there hasnt been more said about the latest instalment of the Fish Love Tap? This one a bit more subtle so he might be working on a signature move for next season? Looks like he prefers Queenslanders too! Savour the win everyone!

    2021 Preliminary Semifinal V Storm

    some thoughts a couple of days on... - despite being massive underdogs & battered from the eels game, we turned up to show so much heart & grit & would not be denied. everyone stood up & that was very encouraging. i liken it to our 2014 semi final win vs roosters. so gutsy & IMO up there with...

    2021 Preliminary Semifinal V Storm

    Agree it's hard to hate on Momo because he has solidified the backline plus he made some tough carries out of trouble however I'm not as convinced with him defensively or see him as a better defensive option over Crichton at centre. I'm pretty sure Olam made a couple of half breaks on him...

    2021 Preliminary Semifinal V Storm

    Regarding our clunky attack & needing to use TPJ more effectively reminded me of this moment in the weekend's game where he was held up over the line... He naturally attracts defenders so will open up spaces in the defensive line which we failed to take advantage of here. Same has been said...

    2021 Preliminary Semifinal V Storm

    perhaps an obvious thing however PSA to markers defending our line: please anticipate Brandon Smith to dummy & barge over. stay low to get underneath him & numbers on top to ensure he doesnt wriggle his way out.

    Penrith v Souths semi final

    agreed! we have to play as if we wont get any calls our way. need to show more patience, be smarter with our kicking game & rely on our fitness to outlast the opposition. Fatigue & pressure should translate into errors & possession in our favour & then grind our way through. we wont be...

    Penrith v Souths semi final

    some thoughts after letting the intensity of the disappointment settle overnight: - that's the flattest we've looked in recent memory. unsure if we were complacent from the hype & thought we could just go through the motions/pace ourselves, were heavily fatigued or (heaven forbid!) had...

    Round 23 V Souths

    some observations: - best game for Kikau in a long time. he does seem to be putting his hand up & perhaps acknowledging his lack of input in recent times. He also looked to have plenty left in the tank towards the end of the game with those two massive defensive efforts on Koloamatangi & Tatola...

    Round 12 V Dogs

    This reminds me of a chat I had a few years ago with one our ex-forwards. His child was at the same children's birthday party as mine & no one knew who he was so it was the perfect opportunity to approach him for a friendly chat. Talked about stuff that was circulating around in the media at...

    Round 5 vs the Raiders

    my 2 cents with some likely repeated thoughts captured in previous posts - despite having a horrendous first quarter we still had enough heart to overpower & effectively crush a serious contender. a lot of kudos to our s&c team. there is also a lot of self belief & confidence (something that not...

    GF Panthers vs Storm

    Struggling to comprehend why we came up with our worst performance of the season but the signs were there. My 2 cents... - if anyone saw the coin toss, Tamou didnt actually know what to do when he won it & Smith was just laughing at him - talk about starting slowly & giving confidence to the...

    LU Panthers Forum Player of the Year 2020

    Edwards - 8 - safe under the high ball pressure in the 2nd half plus strong runs, support play & positioning at the back top notch. Still has a mistake in him & last night was the strip in the opening minutes. Put that away & it's a 9 Mansour - 7 - huge heart with the toughest of carries...

    LU Panthers Forum Player of the Year 2020

    Thanks Froggy. Another long time lurker (& fan) but very seldom poster. Sometimes the traffic is just too busy & by the time the light is green, the moment has passed! Appreciate everyone's insights into what is hopefully our year!

    LU Panthers Forum Player of the Year 2020

    Edwards 7 - not as influential has he has been in recent times but great vision to setup Nathan's first try Mansour 8 - typical tough runs in traffic when needed. still has plenty to offer especially in the dour games needing extras to help carry the team forward Naden 6 - some good carries...

    Round 10 Vs the Warriors

    Hard not to be an irate fan at half time but to be 28-6 down with little input from SJ, RTS & Luke suggested the scoreline wasn't reflective of the contest. Tries after a 40/20, kick out on the full, 2xintercepts & a last tackle fluke meant that we were tracking for just one of those days where...

    Round 6 vs Rabbitohs

    it's easy to be critical after a loss - disappointed but believe the better team won. some other random observations: * agree Merrin looks way off - couple of bad misses around the ruck - perhaps the lack of a preseason is hampering him more than we realised - despite the talk he is not Origin...

    Elimination Final vs Bulldogs

    it would appear the Dog's obvious gameplan would be to bash & barge up the middle. In the 2014 Prelim final, the dogs bashed us - from memory Soward got severely bullied by the dog's forwards & none of ours stepped in to protect him. in this instance i think RCG's presence will be missed -...
