    Rumoured & Confirmed Signings (2025 Season)

    Papali'i going downhill when he went from the Warriors to the Eels is as bad a take as I've seen. Bizarre. Nor is he at the wrong end of his career. He turned 26 a few months ago so is just entering his prime. He had a couple average years at the Tigers, that's it.

    Panthers All Time Wingers 2024 Version

    Who got the 2nd wing spot here? Poll results on this one isn’t showing.

    Larry the Kangaroo

    Three of Casey's tries were walk ins. The try he laid on for CNK was just so classy though. The in and away then fend, hit the jets to beat them on the outside and then the utter poise to thread the pass back on the inside between defenders was something else. Then plucking the ball from outside...

    Larry the Kangaroo

    So with Murray injured I wonder if Larry will get a game this weekend. Forward pack should be 8. Carrigan 9. Grant 10. Collins 11. Crichton 12. Cotter 13. Yeo 14. Burton 15. Barnett 16. Smith 17. Young

    Panthers All Time Wingers 2024 Version

    After To’o I think Rooney, Lewis, Roberts, Critta and even the Limmo were guys who had 1-2 great seasons on the wing but really just didn’t spend enough time there/at their peak to really consider. It’s gotta be Flash or Sauce for mine, not having a detailed memory of the 80s and early 90s...

    LU Panthers all time 17 Team. Final Result.

    I’m going Edwards, Wesser, Girdler, Crichton, To’o, Brandy, Cleary, Leota, Simmons, Fish, Geyer, Martin, Yeo, Gower, Clinton, Puletua, Lewis Fitler could tough to miss out on 3/6/17 but his heart isn’t with the club so screw him. Api, Kikau, Priddo, Mansour, Flash and Luai could all easily be...

    General Discussion Thread

    I just clocked that Dean Whare has hung them up following this season. He’s a guy like Mansour that was an absolute shining light in a pretty grim period for the club. Shame he left just as the good times were starting. He’d be a monster in this side. One of the best classical centres we’ve seen...

    5/8 options

    Wherever they see him playing it’ll be an interesting project. He doesn’t fit the Penrith mould at all, nor all the qualities we’ve prioritised. We’ve turned hard working toilers into highly effective difference makers but we haven’t really seen super high ceiling game breakers brought in...

    Penrith Panthers lower grades 2024

    What do you guys think the NSW Cup side looks like next year? My guess below with the assumption that Cole and Talagi are taking the 6/14 jumpers and one McLean is with the big club. 1. Laurie 2. McLean 3. Kepaoa 4. Fale 5. Edgar 6. Toelau 7. Schneider 8. Patea 9. Sommerton 10. Price 11. Geyer...

    2025 Panthers 17.

    I don't really care what anyone else does, our system has proven that if we have our house in order, no one can go with us. The Storm + Uto & NAS look the most likely for sure at this stage. Outside Backs - McLean in for Turuva I think will be a lateral move. If Casey improves as much as he...

    2024 Grand final Panthers vs Storm

    I haven't read all the comments here but I reckon Tago deserves a massive shout out after the pasting he's got here (from me included) during the season. Bellamy went after that edge big time and why wouldn't you given how frail its looked throughout the year. It absolutely stonewalled...

    2024 Grand final Panthers vs Storm

    15-8. Nath would have had so many chances to take it beyond a converted try and you know he wouldn’t need more than one.

    2024 Grand final Panthers vs Storm

    We have a lot of big ins since our last clash with Martin, Garner, Sorenson, Alamoti and Turuva, not to mention Cleary didn’t finish the game and Edwards was on one leg. 27c and it’s perfect conditions for Penrith football. If we have an our trademark big game intensity I feel less threatened...

    2024 Grand final Panthers vs Storm

    Sorro off the bench if he’s right is definitely good for balance. I’d hope Garns is given the start and Sorro only comes on to spell him for half an hour which should be the type of limited minutes Sorro can handle ok with his prep. He’s not that underdone. Since round 11 he’s played 12 games...

    2024 Grand final Panthers vs Storm

    I know it’s not a particularly bold thought but I have a sneaking suspicion Cleary is going to be on a mission on Sunday. He’s talked many times since about how much he’s blamed himself for 2020 and how he’s used it to never make those mistakes in the big one again. The guy is wired different...

    2024 Grand final Panthers vs Storm

    Yeah it's a good point. Turbo has always looked average against us and Latrell has been consistently been embarrassed as well. I don't doubt our typical tactic of landing every kick 5m out from the goal line, 5m in from the touchline will be in play as well. Warbrick is their strongest...

    2024 Grand final Panthers vs Storm

    Definitely agree that Leota, Martin, Kenny & Fish bringing their best is going to be key for us. I think Fish has been good, Kenny patchy and the other two have only shown flashes of their best. If all of them can dial in, we'll win the ruck and steal the space from their playmakers for ours...

    2024 Grand final Panthers vs Storm

    Nah but Ivan is just a good coach. He’ll probably have Luai and Nath hitting the decoy all night now that the halves are on notice about their cynical defensive decisions.

    2024 Grand final Panthers vs Storm

    Melbourne have have really wound up since that game to be fair to them. I still think they will lose the forward battle quite handily and their halves will have a much tougher time creating chances than their recent games. I don’t think they will crumble for 10-15 minute periods like most sides...
