The prick has the turning circle of the Titanic. We need to shop for one in the offseason.
He was good up until the sin bin, which I don’t really blame him for, in fact it should’ve been the other player in the tackle that got binned. He pulled off an absolute try saving tackle early, and followed it up within seconds
By killing a short kick on the line. He was quite good under the high ball
In the first half. I think
Maguire sees the writing
On the wall, is starting to playing him up front a bit more. I think he’ll replace Benji at 5/8 next year, in fact I think Benji (although he was ok tonight) wont play again this year. We need a halfback and a fullback, a left centre and another fair dinkum prop. BJ is not ideal right centre but we can get by with him for a season

I think AD got flustered from that dropped ball which wasn’t his fault.. He caught the ball but it got nudged at the last second But after that he threw that piss weak pass, knock on, lost possession by our try line. I thought he was better than that..

Fans can be cruel. I was at the game I thought your team had a real crack and we won simply because we have better players. The effort was there and the score line really doesn’t reflect how tough a contest it was.

Thanks. The club is in a slump, I’m trying not to let emotion make me overly critical. Enthusiasm was the main difference, attitude.

Bit disappointing Blore got so few minutes, hard to fathom, I thought he got a couple of offloads away in his limited hit ups. Stats don’t always tell the whole story, I don’t know how the game looked on TV but at the game both sides really ripped into one another.

Game could have went another 5 hours and we would not have scored a try. Metro Cup standard.

Perhaps, but as I say it wasn’t through any lack of effort, the players you had out there really had a dig, made it really difficult for us.
Cleary is so far ahead of Brooks its ridiculous. I wonder if all the instinct/creativity is coached out of him or he just has nothing there.

I would suggest to you Luke Brooks would look pretty decent playing behind our forward pack and bench. You just don’t have the quality, I’m not trying to be a smartie or harsh, but put swap Cleary & Brooks and you may just be carving up Cleary.

There is a reason one is a rep player and the other is not. Cleary just needs to be careful he doesn't get unsettled after being roughed up. Melbourne and Roosters ahead and they will use every dirty trick in the book.

I just had a quick look at the last few game day pages on your other fan forum and frankly some of your fans are way off the mark in respect of tonight’s performance.

I get the score line, I understand the frustration you feel as fans but suggestions you (collectively) were awful is really a little sad because as a Panther fan and my fellow season ticket holders sitting beside me (8 in total) didn’t have a comfortable night far from it despite the end result. The penalty try and last second try blew the score line out so the end result flattered us a little. I never felt comfortable even at 18-6 when your team was still competing even if just lacking the quality to really put us to the sword.

Given your salary cap predicament the reality is things are not going to take a turn for the better until at least 2022 and I say that knowing the part our current coach played in your situation.

Benji and brooks got hit every kick they took, Cleary kicked without pressure. Even so, Brooks had a terrible kicking game. The Panthers rushes up and shut down the Tigers, the Tigers sat back and waited for the offense to come to them for most of the match, same thing happened against the Warriors.
