Played more games than any other team in the NRL. Gotta catch up to you eventually.

Physio and conditioning at the Panthers have done a remarkable job during our golden era. We always seem to get our players back when we need them. Gonna need to work overtime this year.

We were the youngest team in the comp for most of the golden run IIRC.

Father time is undefeated.

I'm interested to see if To'o and Dyl will be fit and firing for the majority of games.

Even Cam Smith's blood pact with the devil ran out eventually.

Pretty sure I heard To'o is out for LV as well.

Surely we wouldn't have released Jesse McLean for the All Stars game is Bizza is out

Our club normally let's cultural decisions to the players so maybe not

We likely run out with a top 17 with 3 teenagers in the backline.

So the side isn't that old, Just need to be smarter and not play Martin for full 80 mins

In that case Laurie and Casey would be in the side

I quite like this. Garner and Papi to start, Marto off the bench either on the edge or middle depending on the circumstances.

Although knowing Marto he'd probably do just as much damage to his body in a 30min stint off the bench as he would playing 80.

Smith and Henry can play 80 if needed. No reason they can't do longer stints.

Even Patea is 20 so plenty of youth and young legs to use

Nico and Fogarty played last night and not for All Stars tells me it was a club or NRL directive for Vegas teams
