Why don't we just skip RU all together and do it AFL style?

Get McClean to practice jumping on Geyer's back to contest the high ball.

I've never seen an AFL player actually catch a ball

They generally fumble it first

I saw an AFL catch once... It was a kid in the stands but still...

Yeo milestone looming


Isaah Yeo could well become the most capped Panther by the end of the season.


He played his 239th game for the club last Thursday night, and now sits outright second on the list of most games for the club.


Steve Carter leads the pack with 243 games. Should Yeo play in all three final regular season games, he’ll join Carter in the first week of the Finals. How special it would be if that game was at Penrith Stadium, where both have played the majority of their matches.


Yeo would officially become the most capped Panther later in the Finals.

Yeo will hold it for a while imo Nathan won't have a long career at this rate

Guys with fisher harris leaving at seasons end,I think we are 1 front rower short for next season.Wonder if the club is interested in Daniel saifiti at all.Big guy pretty mobile would be a good starting partner for leota.Depends on the price tag and how much cap space is left.

Smith and Henry are coming along great. We need bench props with impact

 

[Sime_11]

Smith Henry are good

id rather give Riki a crack but he's behind Smith Henry and Patea for me

Saifiti would be a waste of cap and player spot - i dont think he could handle our fitness & discipline

 

[Girds89]

I think between leota, henry, Smith, patea, eiso

And then soro, geyer, marton and papali that can play middle we are ok for middles.

I think the squad is looking better for next year than it has in a few years tbh.

No home ground will be very hard to overcome

It will be huge. Cant underestimate that. But i like how well rounded the squad is looking for next year. We have better coverage across the park imo.

If Nathan is fit. Another year like 2024 and we miss the 8. Every year will ride on his fitness now

I can't see us missing the 8 till yeo and dyl retire.

God forbid nath was to go dowm for the year wed be in trouble bit i still think wed scrap the 8.

I mean hes barely played this year. Dyls beem out for long periods. No marto. No soro no garner. Fish out.

Taylan gone was a huge distraction.

And we are still 2nd

So is there any senerio where we get a finals game at Bluebet?
Or is the final game against the Titians the last game before the redevelopment?

The sharks and roosters would have to lose a game and we win both .Only way they both have better for and against so if even they get the slot ahead

Looking like final home game will be against Titans
Assuming we finish 3rd or 4th and lose week 1.
I am fairly certain week 2 Any teams from Sydney must play at major venue.

 

[Panther Pete]

With Roosters winning and Sharks about to do the same we drop to 4th. Anyone else concerned if we keep playing like we did yesterday that we could drop out of the top 4?

 

[Pjf04b]

playing for the minor premiership then an obstruction try, an offside intercept and a major injury and look what happens!
need some luck to go their way and they should be ok!

No. Yesterday was the first time this year we lost two games on the trot. I expect a reaction next game.

2 games at home against bums. Surely at worse case we win ugly.

 

[Sime_11]

im concerned....

we were in control in the 2nd half and that costly stupid error from Daine - we just seemed to stop doing what we did to stay in control

the positives are 2 consecutive home games to close out the regular season against teams who wont feature in december.

2 perfect opportunities to get things right and some confidence going into september.

but ill be honest, it wont surprise me if we drop 1 or both of these games....

I know its not his go, but Ivan and coaching staff need a proper honesty session. Its not good enough and we are looking at going out early if we dont get our shit together.

seeing Alamoti warming up post game gives me positives, and its time to bring Tito back from NSW Cup - Laurie has looked poor on the wing and its hurting pantherball - he's either back to 14 or he's playing Cup
