2021 season

[franklin2323]

Agreed.
Add to that a lot of teams next year will be ready for us. We caught a lot of them by surprise this year. Next they will prepare better against us and lift to knock off a prized scalp.

We will be less predictable so harder to prepare for.

I remember Soward saying the difference between Ivan and Hook was Ivan concentrated on defence but gave them free reign in the game. Hook was all structure. I think Barrett going will free up the ab lib footy more

that's exactly how Bennett is described.

There were clearly some things we did that was Barrett. Like the 1st try in the Roosters final but alot was just instinct. late in the year especially when Luai starting taking over

 

[Smug Panther]

Our success in 2020 was mostly based on defense so im not too worried about Baz leaving

04

Yeah from memory we were one game off the GF in 04.

Beaten in the prelim by the dogs. I've never rewatched it, but iirc we were looking good until a young SBW cut loose in the 2nd half.

After leading at HT the sin binning of Rhys Wesser in the 1st set of six of the second half was huge. I think from memory they scored 12 points while he was in the bin and we never quite recovered. Didn’t a very young JT score a try under the posts while Rhys was in the bin. Going from memory no interest in checking you tube to relive the pain.

I am very confident we will be top 4 next year I am really looking forward to watching Leniu and Staines in particular and hope Burton gets a starting spot in the centres. After the GF dissapointment I think the players will respond in a very positive manner. Thanks for a great season I don't think we will win as many games next year but think we will go close to winning the GF!!

4 games extra. We can match the wins but will have more than 2 losses

I hate this time of year, so much speculation and negative press for every team.
I hope we can sort out the signings quickly and avoid scandal.
If that happens we are surely top 4, but if it all gets messed up we could easily flounder.

Creighton could be a major negative if he decides to leave, the brotherhood and bond of the players would be injured.
On top of that, shopping players around as well as awkward situations regarding Naden and Mansour could come back to bite us.

This year was probably one of the greatest in Panthers history and I loved just about every game.
Anything close to our success this year In the next would be amazing and can’t come quick enough.

We only had one loss, and one draw.

We only had one lose, and one draw.

What about the GF?

What about the GF?

We DO NOT let such evil things pass our lips!

As is the traditional Yorkshire saying, we never lost, we just ran out of time...

 

[Jane Murray]

What about the GF?

Good point. I took it as through the regular season.

 

[Kilkenny]

Anyone read or heard when the 2021 draw is likely to be announced.

Ta. Just trying to forward plan. Hoping we have an interstate game around my 60th to get the whole family together.

When I joined I saw a 6-instalment option - 1st on joining & I'm not exactly sure the period for the others.
