Match Discussion: Finals Week 1 vs North Qld @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville / Wulgurukaba

[Mr_Knightside]

TBF to AOB he has managed to get us playing a really tough brand of football at the right time of the year. We may not love how it looks a lot of the time but the game plan was perfect for the game we were in and we forced the Cowboys to play our game. A few errors are what cost us really.

Realistically, we need to be winning more regular season games and challenging for top 4 so that we can get home finals and hopefully a second bite of the cherry. Not just scraping into the top 8 and playing tough away games. For that to happen our team needs to be more dynamic, and fixing up our problems at half and hooker will go a long way towards that. The forwards do a pretty good job most of the time and we’ve got some pretty elite players in our back 5 so I’m not feeling like a massive overhaul is necessary but it really comes down to guys in key positions. Honestly, we don’t need elite guys in those positions necessarily, we need a hooker who can threaten and manipulate the ruck a bit more and a half with a decent kicking game.

And from here on, ladies and gents, I could not give two s#!+s who wins any further game in 2024. I don't care. Season over.

When's the cricket start?

I hope it's another Panthers Premiership. A fitting reward for a club that invests in, and develops its juniors ......anyone so long as it isnt the Roosters
