Former Panthers in the NRL

Chins get the wins

191 NRL games is not to shabby.

He has earnt some good coin, if he is happy with his achievements then what I or anything else thinks probably doesn’t mean too much.

I think he played his best footy with us and his career stats probably support that. Played less games for us, but more tries, more field goals and represented his state and country when he was arguably at his best.
If he started in our current culture who knows.....

His best year was under Hook in 2016.

2017 ended rather ordinary but he still played a major part in our decent season before the off field issues brought his time with us to an end.

2014 was his peak football with Ivan and Sowie
That’s open for debate, his selections for the Blues and the Kangaroo's were in season 2016.

2014 was an extraordinary season, I was OS when Sowie kicked the winning field goal which sunk the Roosters And got us to the PF.

Matter of opinion I guess.

2014 was the year that Moylan was getting picked up and carried backwards by other teams. A turn style in defense and hopeless at kick returns. Needed open ground or went backwards.

I have fond memories of that 2014 Semi Final win against the roosters.

Listened to the game on a dodgy stream from my hotel in Manchester, England. The stream cut out virtually at the time Sowie took the shot, only minutes later did I realise he slotted it over.

Went to Old Trafford the next day to watch Man Utd beat QPR 4-0. Was an enjoyable weekend.

An ex-Panthers forward now playing with a Sydney team was seen celebrating with former Penrith teammates on Mad Monday.

I wonder who?

Once a player leaves the Panthers they are dead to me. Don't get me wrong, I understand why they leave and I don't begrudge them doing the best for themselves, family and their career. I also wish them a long, successful and injury free career. But that's where it ends. I don't follow their career just because they once played for us, I just don't have any further interest. Is that too harsh???

Depends on the player. I followed Wade Graham's career and was happy for him because Matty Elliott is a f**king idiot

I'm in the same boat as Chins, depends on the player. Wade, Luke Lewis, Moylan and Burton would be the main ones mostly because I was gutted they left, but held no ill will because of why.

The others I don't follow as closely, but am still happy to see them do well, especially guys like Api & Staines that bled for us.

I hope Critter achieves his potential. It's crazy to think he's still only 22
