I smell a dynasty coming.

I've got a 7 month old who is shaping up to be a nuggety second rower too.
She's technically a Souths fan at the moment (lost a bet, girl = Souths, Boy = Panthers), but she'll come round

Another Panthers fan was born this Morning at 9:27am. She'll be our premiership wining halfback in 20 years.

Well done mate.

Had the same deal with my ex-wife - We had a girl (she's 15 now) but as soon as she was old enough to make a decision, she followed Daddy

My ex was Dragons. Our kids were Panthers no matter what and she ended up a Panther too.

My boys will be 6 and 7 next month. Probably had about 8 or so jerseys between them. I cant let them go without a jersey that fits them.

I'm in a one team household. Not sure how some of you guys manage it.

For me, it's not too bad. Unless our teams are playing (Panthers and Raiders) we generally go for each others teams. The downside is when we do play (especially if Raiders lose), it can get a little heated at times lol. Also, given the boys are my step-kids, they had allegiance to the Raiders before I came along so I was never going to shoehorn the Panthers in there. The girls however, well they have my DNA so they were destined to be Panthers fans

The girls have your DNA, the boys are step kids, does this make you Carol Brady?

I'm sure old Panther can do something with this to suit ACT Panthers

Brilliantly! The older one (from my previous marriage) is so good with the boys - And the boys absolutely love both their sisters

Thanks that was a good listen. Some good stories from Sattler. I didn't know Luke Lewis was dumb back then and Ben Ross very sensitive. I knew MG was mad.

Great to see that Burton, Leniu and Martin have been selected by Fittler in the Emerging Blues squad for this months training camp. The other players Fittler has selected in the ermerging squad have all played a lot more first grade than Burton ane Leniu, so he must think highly of them to select them already.

Cleary is the only Panther selected in the main squad. I’m surprised that Koroisau wasn’t selected. Unless he is on the injured squad at Penrith?

Anyone Paying attention to our lower grades last year would’ve noticed Burton early on like a few of us here did, being from the country he was a bit of an unknown prior to that but he had some very impressive games and highlights last year before his nrl debut, then that debut was as classy as you’ll see from a half.

Leniu has been in the blues system for a while his potential would be well known.

Burton was man of the match in the u20’s Origin then was solid on NRL debut. That alone would get him noticed

I think it is a positive thing to have our younger up and comers selected in the emerging squads as it opposes them to outside coaching and experiences they would not necessarily get at club level so that it obviously a good thing.
