Not sure I would ever be prepared to admit that. Just say you were cheering for the team that wasn't Penrith.
Take Reynolds out of this side and broncos aren’t top four

and remember when super coach let Reece Walsh go to the wahs

So you're conceding Kev has done well and recruited the right players, which included letting one go at the right time as well. No individual is bigger than the team and in hindsight the development he got in NZ under RTS was something he wouldn't have received in a struggling Brisbane team at the time.

He is on record saying that even when he was playing for NZ he still would watch every Bronco game. He was only ever going to join 1 club, whether or not NZ were prepared to release him anywhere else or not.

Speaking of super coaches, where will Wayne be watching the game?

Get ya phins up, Get ya phins up.

It's Carrigan/Haas who carry the team.

Bold enough to say that the Broncos could lose Walsh or Reynolds and still have a chance to win. But lose one of those forwards and it's lights out.

Luai with shoulder being held together by strapping tape is as much chance of going down as Reynolds the soft prick

Reynolds

they have zero kicking game without him

ofc forward battles matter but they live or die on Reynolds

The only laughable bit is always playing "away" at magic round
It's a nice advantage for us, but Manly wants the greater ticket revenue coin which is why they've taken their home game against us to Brisbane. You guys benefitted greatly from magic round too - you'd much rather deal with playing the Wahs in Brisbane rather than NZ.

As with most teams Penrith have only Cleary but you can get around it. I thought Walsh kicked decently enough when they were without Reynolds against the Panthers.

I'd level the same argument with Penrith. We could lose Cleary and still win the match. But I'd hate to lose Yeo or JFH.

If the average Panthers supporter is already getting Reece upset, Luai going to be sledging all Sunday night

He's not upset, he's just meeting fire with fire...or eshay with eshay, in this case.

Unfortunately for him Penrith are expert Eshays.
