I can't find it anywhere. Does someone have a link ?

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

They are having issues with the link according to the Penrith Panthers digi. All good.

Who is the 11 for Panthers ISP team?
He will be NRL for sure

 

[roofromoz]

Has the NRL captain been announced yet? FWIW the Wikipedia page for the 2019 season has James Maloney, but maybe that's just a default as he was captain during the finals.

Please let it be Isaah Yeo though.

If anything it looks like Katoa is getting told he needs to be able to play 80 to compete because Egan already can.

If Katia is our number one dummy half we are in trouble.
He makes too many mistakes and takes the wrong option.

I assume most of their best ISP players are playing in the first grade trial to press for spots, same with us (I.e Kaide Ellis, Caleb Aekins, Jarome Luai, Liam Martin, Jack Hetherington, Jed Cartwright). At least him play a couple of games of NSW cup against proper reserve grade teams before you say stuff like that. A lot of guys who played well at a higher level never made it to the NRL.

 

[BuddPanther]

Yeah yeah yeah, but what’s his name?

It was probably Shawn Blore. But that’s a guess. Given he plays 2nd row and is a weapon.

Hahaha. The side that pumped Manly's feeder team had about 4 ISP guys (Ratu, Reed Izzard, Sam Smith, Mattheson Johns) and the rest were park footy players from our 3rd tier team, St Marys. No wonder I could hardly recognize anyone. How embarrassing for Manly.

 

[unKwn]

any info on what the crowds looking like for Parra Rd 1?

 

[Panther_Daz]

At this stage, Katoa will start and May off the bench.

However there is still a month to go and things can change.

Is he impressing to get the start? Or gets first shot as he was our 9 last year?

I'm hoping May has a big yearfor us. After a promising start to his career that ACL injury set him back a long way.

I assume it has been due to his pre-season so far.

They haven't played a trial yet though.

Platinum and Gold are sold out. Diamond down to single seats. Silver has about 100 tickets left.

Unsure on GA though, that would be about half the capacity.

Hopefully if Egan does work his way in it is instead of Katoa. The 2 hookers bench doesn't work these days imo

 

[franklin2323]

You'd think Round 1 would sell out again this year...No reason to think any different then last year

It is what happens in trials. You usually get lower tier guys playing up. Like our trial this week will be mainly NSW Cup guys

I am a 6 game member. I have an adult daughter who uses oxygen, (the club is so good about this, we generally get seats near the back raising so she can plug in her stuff, and lft passes to make life easier). If you have family or friend who has a disability don't let it stop you from bringing them to the footy. You do need to let them know early, cause once the seats are gone, the're gone. I have already a tentative booking for western grandstand.
