    2023 Grand Final Panthers vs Broncos

    Critta came up with all the biggest plays!! Stephen, you are at the Dogs now, just let it go and count your cash..... It should be noted in your analysis that Cleary played most of the game with a bad knee injury inflicted on him by Haas and which resulted in a suspension (too light) for Haas...

    2024 World Club Challenge

    As I said. We have to agree to disagree.The inferior team has beaten us 3 times so far. The last time, away from home. Obviously the NRL is the best league, but their best teams are no mugs.

    2024 World Club Challenge

    That is simply not true, it does mean something. It comes with a trophy, a title and prize money. It will go in the record books. It doesn't mess with pre-season, it just needs to be factored into the training schedule. It doesn't mean it is detrimental to our NRL start if it is managed...

    2024 World Club Challenge

    We will have to agree to disagree on this. It is a huge honour to win the WCC. Not winning it brings into question just how good this club really is. It is a black mark against our record. To not play those three is an insult to Wigan and rugby league in general. If we are going to do that, why...

    Luai

    Besides Crichton, nobody expensive has been signed and they have got rid of Pangai and Thompson. I suspect Kikau is lined up at the exit ramp for 2025 as well. AFB is worth two Kikaus. You can't win without mongrel. In 2023, the house of Penrith was built on JFH, Leota, Kenny and Martin. Cleary...

    Luai

    Klemmer would love a deal like that. Never mind teaching the young uns, Klemmer coming off the bench for us would be a brilliant prop transition. He has the mongrel, Smith lacks. That said, I would love to see Luai fourpeat. He deserves it and it will help soothe his hurt when he counts the...

    Luai

    It is not as simple as saying "modern sports science" would make them fit. Now players have to train full time. It is hard work and stressful on their bodies. Some of the skilful players back then wouldn't handle the intensity of modern training. They coasted by carrying excess weight (Beetson...

    Luai

    I don't think money will be enough. 200k is $106k after tax. $8,833 a month. Over four years it's a small flat in Penrith. It sounds a lot if you are on a low wage, but $850k a year is a good salary and the extra will not change his life style. He will lose winning bonuses for finals...

    Luai

    If Luai goes, I believe it will be because he wants to be the main man. The extra money will just be the cherry on top. It must get wearing for any player to get constantly asked "how good is Cleary, what's it like having him in the team'. Nathan is a champion bloke, but even so, it would...

    Luai

    Except, that this happens very rarely and Gould did it when the game was a lot simpler. Sports science was unheard of. One example does not make it true. Name another coach who did this? No coaching experience and then first grade success. Andrew Webster is an experienced coach and has coached...

    Former Panthers in the NRL

    So what we are saying is, when Bennett is at a club it is successful, when he leaves and is no longer involved in the decision making, the club is a failure. Correlation is no guarantee of causation but maybe, he isn't the problem.

    Former Panthers in the NRL

    We have had this argument before Alice. It seems strange that somebody is successful everywhere he goes, but not at Newcastle. In spite of the club not even having enough funds to pay the players. All Bennet's fault. Imagine being at work and not knowing if you will get paid? All the young...

    Former Panthers in the NRL

    I have seen enough interviews with Ivan to know that he will never pick a player with a bad attitude. do you really think he couldn't see Moylan's talent? He could also see Moylan's terrible attitude. In this podcast somebody kindly referenced in here, , he talked about what he found at the...

    2024 Panthers

    I can't agree with that. Luai had Cook outside him in the centres. That had way more impact on the game than anything else. That was a brain explosion by the NSW coaching team. The series was won by the time Walker and Moses were playing. Easy peasy when there is nothing to play for. I would...

    Former Panthers in the NRL

    We were absolutely hopeless at development back then. An almost endless procession of players that were going to be stars and yet our spine under ME in his last year was Burns, Walsh, Kingston and Coote. We even cocked up the development of Jennings and Lewis. They left the club because their...

    Pacific Championships 2023

    What strings? He breaks tackles, he ball plays better than all the players you mentioned. But every team needs somebody to do the dirty work. They can't all be "danger" players. Yeo doing dirty work means players like Martin can try explosive hits that sometimes miss. Australia were flat and Yeo...

    Pacific Championships 2023

    If his runs are ineffective, I would expect he would have a slow play the ball. But he doesn't. Only Patrick Carrigan had a faster play the ball in the forwards and he didn't start the game against fresh forwards. I understand, you don't like the cut of his jib and have nothing other than your...

    Pacific Championships 2023

    Yeah, same for Leota and JFH. They would have been better if they played in QLD.......... If you are going to make controversial statements please back them up with some facts and logical analysis. Saying, "stats are padded" is rubbish. Padded how? No kick returns for Yeo, just hard yards...
