Hopefully they show the Panthers match from 2010. That was an absolute cracker of a game.

That bloke Jarryd someone single handedly turned the game. (Andy Raymond - Tickets please for the Hayne Train !!)

Anyone catch this ?


I did, he didn't want to use cliches, but he said it's been the best pre-season ever.

Indicated French has put on alot of size, Gutherson will miss the first couple of games, The Plane can play a number of positions, Semi will be hard to replace and the squad has alot of competition for spots because of its depth.

PS - He won't be Head Coach of the Rouse Hill Rhino's Under 16's any more.

Yes, key point:

- French has put on some size on his upper body. BA basically said French will start at fullback and Gutho will miss first couple of rounds.
- our depth is great
- having a great offseason
- we have been improving each year
- said during the finals playing on "emotions" probably cost us two wins
- semi is hard to replace but a lot of his tries were just standard winger tries however there was 5 to 6 tries last year that only semi could score (FYI he scored 22 tries)
- when asked on Hayne's position, he said our halves / fullback positions are well covered. But did say Hayne can play several spots
- said Hayne is training good and he adds some class / skills to the side. He said Hayne won't win the 2 km time trials but should be leading (or close to) the 30 m sprints. Said Hayne is getting the Kms in his legs so he can do those 30m / burst more during the game.
- Norman will be able to play his more natural game with Moses playing the more tradional half back role. Norman has been asked to play several roles over the years. Said he will now be able to run more / play what's in front of him.

Shame he didn't comment on the possibility of Semi returning.

Would love to know.
