2021 Grand Final: Panthers V Souths

[Iamback]

Ivan needs to trust Spencer to do a job

Bench gets limited minutes anyway. Leota backing up for a 2nd stint is unlikely that is Spencer's time to shine

The one I’m most surprised about of all the injuries is To’o. His ankle sprain, more specifically Syndesmosis is painful. The ligament holding your tibia and fibula, i.e. your shin and outer lower leg bone is torn. Either partially or entirely. If its partially torn, weight bearing on it can cause a complete rupture. Complete rupture can then cause the two bones to flex outwards from the downwards pressure on your ankle joint; which is basically like putting a wedge in between something to split it in half.
Either way, I have had Syndesmosis at the same time as complete rupture of all my anterior ligaments in my ankle. Hurt at the time. I consider myself a fairly tough bloke and fairly fit. I was walking around on it for a few days before my mri results came back - I knew it was f**ked.

But even with strapping and needles there is no way in hell I could have ran anything other than a straight line properly let alone played and considered lateral movement.

To’o is superhuman.

Nothing a good jujitsu twist hold in the middle of a tackle to find out the truth and not fake news won't fix

TPJ was a nice bonus in the last few weeks, but can still do it without him.

Having him allowed us to nurse a few guys to this stage.

Your cheating knows no bounds.

You've almost reached the level of the Rorters, it's shameful.

You were once respected, but your cheating tactics have soiled your team.

From Clearasil being designated an endangered species by the UN World Heritage organisation, to fake moon boots and wheelchairs, to blatant rorting on goal kicks, to crying to the NRL about our coach's complaints about your rorting to the NRL, to bending the cap and hiring mercenaries who don't give a f##k about your club, to your stooge boy Atkins slime-ing himself into a position to favour you.....

I'd respect you if you won after 3 gruelling games, on your own merits, but honestly the respect will belong to us if we win, to overcome all this rorting, cheating, and rule-bending favouritism, and still win.

Same with Reynolds. But seriously, if one of our players get targeted, which I doubt he will for fear of a Souths player getting time on the sideline, a hornet's nest would be disturbed. Then you'll have quite the shit-storm.

Thats it..you've given up. Resigned to the fact that Souths are going to lose as you should have more faith in your side.

Two things:

1. Sutton will never send anyone off in a GF, just look at his SOO history.

2. I'll be backing Cody & Co. in any dustup against Clearasil and his porn-star moustache, and his bum-chums

 

[Iamback]

Not even good bait being thrown out

 

[The_Frog]

Gus reckons the hard build up will ensure the Panthers get home. Buzz reckons the opposite. The Bunnies will be fresher so they'll win. We'll see who is right. I know whose knowledge of the game I'd rely on.

1. Not his decision. That will be up to Grant Atkins. How are you feeling now? Your boys better keep their tackles down I'd suggest.
2. This is Rugby League, not UFC or WWE.

Cody couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag. You obviously never saw the video. Ha ha.

In any event, it's a Rugby League grand final, not ufc. I'd laugh my head off if any of your dickheads decided to throw hands, or feet in Cody's case.

 

[Kilkenny]

For all the hate Tyrone May gets he is very, very solid in defence around the middle. He is a natural footy player, just without a natural position. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if he just bobs up somewhere on Sunday and carves out a try for us. He is just that type of player.

I love this bloke.

He would have been invaluable to our chances on Sunday, but not to be.

I still believe that we will win.

 

[hindy111]

It is a shame TPJ is out, he can we a weapon. It is what it is, just have to do it without him.

I am glad he is out. Spencer has been part of the squad all season and deserves his spot.

 

[hindy111]

If the situation doesn't improve, it may get moved to Townsville. A decision to made Sunday morning...

'You've got to decide what's more important': Decision on NRL grand final could come on game day

The NRL grand final is going ahead in Brisbane at this stage, despite a COVID-19 scare in Queensland and calls by an epidemiologist to postpone or relocate the game to avoid a potential fourth wave.

Just move it to Penrith ffs. Cmon Gladys get it done.

 

[Sime_11]

Start Spencer - sub him for Moses in first half 10-15 mins in, Spencer to replace Mose second half and Moses done for game?
