Will we?

Making the finals three years in a row hasn’t seemed to help the team improve, they’ve pretty much treaded water now for several seasons. Missing the 8 could make them hungry, who knows?

We are fixing the roster. That makes this year a better one then the 3 before

With luai proving last night he can cover dummy half well i dont think we need egan on the bench get kenny to start and luai the cover for halves and hooker he can be dynamic when the forwards tire.

Luai has been very average everytime hes play 9 at nrl level

Mostly yes. But he did have a good game there on one occassion and he's really only had a few cracks.

Hes a better utility than Egan as he can cover the whole spine. Egan may be slighyly better at hooker. But Luai would improve the more he plays there and offers halves cover too.

Suspended NRL star Tyrone May has pleaded not guilty to charges of recording and disseminating sexual acts without consent.

He is currently under strict bail conditions and his matter will next be heard on July 16 at Parramatta for a hearing date to be set.

This is f**king bullshit....dragging out the way it has. Our squad is effectively 29 and we are down somewhere around 150-200K on our cap.

Leniu is very close to a debut.

On the bench with Luai at 6 perhaps?

I think you might be getting mixed up with Laurie? Leinu is a prop.

 

[OldPanther]

You misunderstand me. I was thinking instead of what is essentially 2 utilities(Egan, Luai) and 2 props, we have 1 utility/Hooker and 3 props on the bench.

This is how the legal system works. It takes time, and he's certainly not getting any special treatment due to being a footballer. I can't believe anyone expected this to be over and done with so soon.

I'm sure that Panthers have been in contact with the NRL to discuss our options re: squad management. However, I'm not sure it's in Panthers or Tyrone's best interests to make those discussions public, unless it is to announce some kind of exemption.

The BS part of it is the NRL's new rule that is forcing this situation onto us. We should be getting compensated somehow for it.

The contract should just come straight off the salary cap and be paid by the nrl when this situation occurs. Player gets paid but it doesn’t count in our cap. It’s up to the club to manage the cap and make sure there’s room for the players contract to come back into the cap if and when the player is aloud to return.

He has just been upgraded to the top 30

Saw this on a police vehicle at Fuzhou railway station in China this morning. It is fabricated metal, not a sticker.

Not a bad player, looks like he is heading overseas. Disappointing.

Apparently the Panthers may have a new kit supplier for 2020.

Weird that he couldn't get a run there with the state they're in. Hard to know why but it's not a good sign.
