Former Panthers in the NRL

[mxlegend99]

My comment still stands. Some supporters on this forum are very good at turning previous players into immortals once they leave.

Can you show even one example of a poster who has hated a player while he was here... and suddenly rated him after he has left?

Because in my experience the opposite is usually true. Makes zero sense to rate a player once he leaves. Unless it's tongue in cheek like we did with Katoa.

Who the hell death rode Flash? I don't think I can think of a player more universally loved.

Sounds like bullshit.

Not one person has said, in my presence (whether physical or online), anything but good things about Flash.

I think Alice was just using him as an example of someone who is above criticism after they left, not that they were specifically bagged out.

If anyone did they are on my ignore list. Loved him every second of his Panthers career and still do today.

You are 100% correct Alice. I could definitely remind myself of this at times. The difference is I generally accept my shortcomings and admit when I could be wrong (I'm always wrong when it pertains to my wife though lol)

Mate I'm not going there (in any shape or form). . Discussions with partners don't count.

Getting back on topic. It will be fascinating to see how Peachey goes this year with a new coach. Did Penrith get the best out of him ?

I adore the bloke he was one of the good guys. Gave everything every game. Spoke to him and his dad a couple of times (really random now looking back on it).

 

[ACTPanthers]

Yep - Flash was just a genuine, down-to-earth guy - Always, without fail, had time for the fans.

He was my oldest daughters absolute favourite due to meeting him after a game one time, and was in tears when he left.

Well the great man needs some love. I love to fire up his highlights from time to time

Having our lord and saviour catching a cold on the wing was pretty crap tbf.

5:00 in the 2010 video is a good example of what he had to do to bail us out from the wing.

A tragedy he played in some very ordinary teams

Surprised the NRL didn't shut down your channel. Love me some flash.

Probably not enough views. I miss when NRL had the games for free access back then. Downloading them and editing highlights clips together.

Unbelievable it's nearly a decade now.

Those videos make Walsh & Purts look like absolute superstars. Which they were.

That no look ball by Purts but.

Martie I'm all for a bit of love for the obscure and maligned but Purts?! Guy was the biggest liability. Close third behind the goal posts and poorly timed injuries as the wrecking balls of our 2010 season.

Mate, those moments were few & far between. Purts tried hard. That's all I'll say.

All white kits, loves purts. Hell incarnate.

Turns out Obama wasn't the anti-christ after all eh?

Walsh had a talent and used it well. If we saw sense and paired him with Graham or Austin we would of been decent

How could anyone not love Purts? In a white kit especially.
