It's a 67' thing with me.

The Sharks came in with us, got the jump on the predominately blue jersey which forced us into brown.

Add to that their smug, elitist, "the Shire is better" attitude, and I have that little smile with all the failures they have.

They are a club that over the years has definitely had the players to win multiple comps, but they are a club that's very adept at not being able to "walk the talk".

And the fact that Cronulla, like all the smug city teams, still think that the Panthers are only in the comp to make up the numbers, you know, those second class westies aren't supposed to be successful, they're just supposed to mow the lawns and fix the cars for those toffee nosed coastal dwellers.

Well football life has certainly changed in the last handful of years and it's not dominated by the Manly's, the Eastern Suburbs and Cronulla's anymore.

It's a "Westy dominated game" hence why the NRL is happy to have Penrith develop the lions share of the talent for those smug clubs to poach.

So yeah, I don't give a rat's you know what when Cronulla falls short...Again.

Times have definately changed.

Anyone who isn't our camp is a bit of a knob. We are the good guys.

I think the amount of playing talent that has been poached or recruited by other NRL clubs from the Panthers over the course of this past six seasons speaks for itself. No other club has endured salary cap pain like we have.
Our salary cap pain has, in reality, been to keep the right players so the coaches can identify, develop or bring to the club, the plug and play guys that compliment the core players we've decided to build around.

This crap talk journalists trot out about "he's the guy you can build a team around" is so far from reality it's amusing.

We have 4 solid workers in Kenny, Yeo, To'o and Edwards with Nathan Cleary the brains to pick the opposition apart.

The rest of our club, whilst we have superstars behind those 5 champions, are the support staff for the core.

No one can argue the style of play, and the character of the players that Ivan Cleary and Matt Cameron get to, and keep at the club, is anything but successful.

Last years hurdle of losing Fish, Jerome and Tito, along with the Vegas circus and no "home ground", was just a bit much. But 2026 will, in my opinion, be much better.
