Former Panthers in the NRL

[jane the pain]

Foran took time off from the game and is still mentally weak. You'd question Bryce's commitment and with the big contract it is big gamble

It is heartbreaking watching the decline of Bryce Cartwright. He has justified the decision to release him from his Panthers contract.

Hopefully if he leaves GC he has a year or so soul searching

I would be surprised if there is too much in the Cartwright to Sea Eagle rumours. Even assuming the Titans are paying some of his contract the Sea Eagles still don't have a lot of cap space to play with and surely Cartwright would be too much of a risk when they need to spend there money more wisely.

I agree, ATM they are knee deep in salary cap poo. Bryce in my opinion needs to get a proper job (carting bricks, labouring et al) and play park footy on the weekends. He needs to find his desire and love for the game. Until this happens he will be 2018's version of Dave Taylor.

Regardless of how it pan's out Bryce is at guaranteed another 3 years of pay from the Titans which I assume may be minimum of $500K a season. A labourer probably wouldn't earn in a life time what Bryce will earn during the next three seasons. Rugby League is a tough game and careers are short but those at the top level are very fortunate young men, even if some don't fully appreciate what they have.

Titans will likely have to pay some of his salary and his uncle is there. Could be a good buy for Manly if Carty Snr can sort him out. Big if obviously.

It's at the stage now the only person who can help Bryce Cartwright is himself.

So true. It's heartbreaking to see such talent not appreciated, and without a work ethic.

And professional help.

So Peta Hiku tonight.............

So Peta Hiku tonight.............

I don't get your point, we couldn't have asked any more of him....one of our best.

It only took him a year after being released by us to win us a game.

I am sure Hook and the rest of the staff were well aware of Hiku's defensive issues playing in the centres (i.e. the fact he was an absolute turn style for us).

They were probably surprised no other team had targeted it before now. It was definitely part of our game plan last night.

Hook's attacking game plan was probably just 'boys, run at Hiku, we all know his D is shit'.

Could have been targeting Hiku although I think most right side defences will be shitting themselves if we keep going to Kikau & Waqa. Absolute weapons!

 

[mxlegend99]

Hiku was shit. But Luke was pretty poor too.

Our hookers had a 100% tackle efficiency. 0 misses or ineffective tackles for both.

Issac Luke though only had a 76.5% tackle efficiency. We destroyed him coming back through the middle at him.

It's insane. Our rookie hookers owned an International hooker.
Our rookie halves owned an International halfback and veteran 5/8th with 221 top grade games.

The experience given up was more than just a reserve grader verse a first grader..it was reserve graders against Tier 1 Internationals in many cases.

Great viewing seeing Lewis & Moylan on the Matty John's show.
Great insight from both players,no doubt some of the most talented to pull on the Panther jersey.

What did they say? Hopefully nothing negative about the Panthers?

It is why our attack has been down. It is impossible to tackle those 2 one on one so it leaves a gap somewhere.

Both said great things about there time in Penrith,Moylan admitting he did wrong with the out drinking fiasco.
Lewis saying his time at Penrith was a great time,he's off contract at season end would love to see him come back to see out his career would do so much for this young team
