Clean Out Needed

[Panther_Daz]

Simmons gone G.Jennings in.
Tighe gone Satini in.
Siejka in.
VTK in.

 

[Panther_Daz]

...and we NEED Timmy back!

 

[abpanther]

You really think that's gonna happen

 

[Panther_Daz]

No.

But we will finish 12th-16th. Might as well give a couple of youngsters a go in preparation for the future.

 

[abpanther]

Walsh didn't look fit at all.

Weston and Galea as our starting props? Worst starting props I've seen in a while. Was McKendry dropped because of performance?

Seriously, Tighe and Simmons have to go.

Where's Earl?

 

[Big Mick]

Walsh needs a week off to rest.

Only player that was any good tonight was Coote. Aside from the drop which IMO was Jennings fault...he was outstanding. Saved 2 certain tries. Broke tackles all game. Good kicking game.

That right side attack is a bloody joke. Tighe/Simmons just doesn't f**kin work.

Time to bring in Satini and pair him with Daniela or Earl.

Piss Kingston off and put Burns to Hooker with Seijka or Austin at Five-eight.

Bring back Nafe on the bench.

If Galea sees first grade again..fmd...I'll scream.

Why did we re sign Walsh and Tighe for another 3 years?

 

[abpanther]

Farked if I know, those re-signings are so depressing.

I think Walsh could be ok if he was paired with someone like Austin, who provides spark and will take the line on.

Leaves Walsh to do what he does best, kick and organise the team.

The Tighe re-signing was horrible

 

[Panther_Daz]

Agree with BM's post.

Forgot about Daniela, he deserves a shot before Satini and G.Jennings.

 

[inside_pass]

Brad Tighe is nowhere near nrl standard.
Couldn't believe when the Panthers signed him up years ago.
He wouldn't play first grade in any other nrl team,honestly he's got nothing!
Put a young bloke in his position and you would lose nothing.

Kingstons alright, I don't you should be clearing him out. But the likes of Simmons and Tighe should def be considered backups, not starters imo.

 

[Big Mick]

Thankfully he is only on just above minimum. So Tighe wont matter in 2 years when he is replaced by one of the Jennings, if not sooner.

Kingston has been ordinary since signing his contract extension when Burns and Walsh did a few years ago.

Walsh isn't on a big contract. I still think he can be serviceable. But him and Burns just don't work.

 

[ashton]

How are we spending all of our salary cap?

 

[abpanther]

We're not, Gould made it clear that the financial situation for the next 12 months isn't very good

 

[Big Mick]

Thanks to the crappy contracts negotiated by the previous regime. Some players on massive overs due to combination of some front loaded and some back loaded contracts.

 

[roboshark]

Hey mick....do you reckon Gordon will stay

 

[Fibroman]

Blake Austin is too good to be sitting on the bench for 30 minutes and then filling in at 2nd row. IMO he could be starting in the centres in front of Tighe and we would lose nothing at all.

 

[franklin2323]

No way was Walsh fit. After every kick he was hunged over. He's knee was hurting. Why we played him is anyone's guess. Notice how Manly had decoys & players into gaps?? We were 1 out & give it to Jennings. That's not entirely the halves we need better structure

Kingston won't play next week he was injured late. That should mean Burns at 9. Austin at 6. Should be better in attack. Daniela & Earl should play over Tighe & Simmons. Armit was 4 weeks so hopefully he & Grant return

 

[Big Mick]

Hey mick....do you reckon Gordon will stay

I have no idea.

I know he wont leave just to play wing again.

Otherwise he'd just stay.

 

[franklin2323]

Another thing tonight was another example why we need Gordon on the wing. Coote is too good not to play & Simmons etc are just not NRL standard
