    If it’s Crichton and Staggs that are selected, they are both good defenders. And they just offer far more strike than Graham.

    Agree. He even did well shutting down Talakai a couple of weeks ago, where as a number of centres have struggled to do that this season.

    With Mitchell and Turbo both out, we are going to need some match winners like Staggs though. A lot of our points last year came from Mitchell and Turbo. Graham is steady and consistent, but isn’t a game breaker

    So which coach will be the next one sacked? Maguire mustn’t be far away. Brown with his 37% record at the Warriors must be pretty close as well, especially after having 70 points scored against them. Griffin must be feeling the pressure as well. O’brien and Stuart will probably survive this...

    Round 10 Panthers V Storm

    He is learning to play centre at the same time as learning to play and adjust to first grade. So he has done exceptionally well thus far. There is no way he is getting dropped from first grade. The positives he provides far outweighs the couple of drop balls, and we need him to keep playing...

    Round 10 Panthers V Storm

    The 3rd article mentions that Nathan needs only 4 more points to reach 11,000, and become the 2nd youngest player in premiership history to reach 11,000 career points. Unless he has an absolute shocker game and misses all conversion attempts, what a great achievement it will be for him tonight...

    Round 10 Panthers V Storm

    Agree. But the same applies to Luai though. Yes he has been quiet the last 2 weeks, but was great before that, especially in the first month with Nathan out.

    Round 10 Panthers V Storm

    All you can do is beat the team put in front of you, and the Panthers did exactly that. That comment just undermines what the Panthers achieved last season on their way to winning the Premiership. The Storm won a record 19 straight games last season, yet the Panthers rose up to the challenge...

    Panthers v. Heels

    I think there is 12 auto picks in this team that get selected if fit.

    There was even a few Panthers fans/Ivan haters that thought the same as well. At least 2021, and thus far of 2022, have shown them all wrong

    Round 7 Panthers vs Raiders

    Another feel good article on Luke’s debut and the adversity of overcoming 4 season ending injuries. The linked video is worth watching as well, with Ciraldo’s speech and Luke’s emotional one as well. The interesting bit was at the end of the article, which if correct shows the Panthers plans...

    Round 7 Panthers vs Raiders

    I am not saying Api won’t be a loss, I rate him highly and was disappointed when he signed with the Tigers. I just don’t agree with you that we will drop out of top 4 and be no chance of making another grand final in 2023 without him. We have too many other positives even without Api, as...

    Round 7 Panthers vs Raiders

    No mate, winning over 80% of games would keep us top 4. Just looking at the same 2020 and 2021 period as a comparison: - In 2020, Storm came 2nd with 80%, Eels came 3rd with 75%, and Roosters came 4th with 70%. - In 2021, Souths came 3rd with 83%. Manly came 4th with 67% If you can keep in...

    Round 7 Panthers vs Raiders

    Not when you consider we will still have the Blues 7, 6 and 13. Plus Fish, Crichton,To’o, Edwards, Martin, etc etc. I just can’t see us dropping lower than top 4 given the quality of the remaining squad, the strength of our defence, fitness of the players, the winning culture of the club and...

    Round 7 Panthers vs Raiders

    Since the start of the 2020 season, we have averaged winning over 80% of games when Kenny has started at hooker. An 80% wining rate is still good enough to make top 4. So if we have to go with Kenny at hooker and Luke as back up in 2023 I am still confident we can finish top 4 and at least be...

    Round 7 Panthers vs Raiders

    Im talking about their bench this year. I wouldn’t do a straight swap of our 4 for their current 4. Same goes with Roosters and Manly bench.

    Round 7 Panthers vs Raiders

    Have you seen the Storm bench though? Or the Roosters or Manly? If we lose to the Storm or Roosters it won’t be because Kenny and Salmon are on our bench.

    Penrith v The Saddle Club

    No not at all. Martin is the current RHS edge forward, Kikau is the LHS edge forward. I expect Martin to keep his RHS edge spot next season, it’s the LHS we need to replace once Kikau is gone.

    Penrith v The Saddle Club

    If you go back and read what Ivan said about Martin the first game he moved him to 2nd row to cover injury, you will realise why Martin has played 2nd row ever since. Even if we sign Garner for next season, it will be to cover for Kikau leaving, not to move Martin to the middle. I will bet...

    But why though? That would move our second best 2nd rower Martin to the middle, to bring in another middle in Hopgood, whose best position is lock.
