We want the panthers to win tonight.

"In a further positional change, winger Kurt Mann has been shifted back to the bench with Sione Mata'utia to start in the centres and versatile Hymel Hunt moving from right centre to left wing"

...........WHY ARE WE SHIFTING PLAYERS FROM THEIR BEST POSITION TO CATER FOR KURT f**kING MANN?????

Take a hike, Browney. Seriously.

If he uses Mann as a reserve hooker, that’s me done. We have the worst bench rotation in the comp, except for today’s titans team

 

[Old dog]

Surely Mann out with Levi in what is Brownie thinking, surely Sione at centre is better than Mann at wing, Levi at bench is better than Mann, bench Levi, Guerra, Ese’ese, JSaf, that will do me

 

[Yosh]

It's pretty comical how Mann seems to be the core player in our team... Gotta fit him in somewhere... He isn't a terrible reserve option but surely we shouldn't have him in our top 17?

 

[Loose Cannon]

Sione centre to accommodate Mann as bench Hooker. Oh dear.

Anyone have legitimate praise for Brown’s tactics.

Anxiously awaiting some drivel.

 

[Old dog]

I think Mann is a good player but wing he ain’t, he is not a 6, 9 or 1, not sure in this team what he is maybe 3 or 4.
I have my doubts as to why he was brought in someone had a false sense of ability.
If he is in we are in trouble.

 

[Old dog]

If Mann is on bench and Levi is Cup we are in trouble

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

With the way Brown was talking about signing Brailey to get a hooker that is more of a play maker to take pressure off Pearce I reckon Mann off the bench is just slightly more of a play maker. I don't think he can offer us much though.
Ponga wasn't mentioned as a play maker and I think that's a role for him. He's up hanging around at 6. He does set up plays but needs more selective involvement and to read the game and act on what he sees.
Lino has been deadset useless of late.
I'd go Watson 6, Levi 9 and Mann off the bench.
We bought Watson because we wanted a running 6.

 

[aqua_duck]

Whilst we're forced to play Kurt Mann on the wing because we literally had no other wing/centres eligible aren't we at the same time glad that Brown promoted hooker/half Chris Randall to the full time squad just in case Peace, Watson, Lino, Levi, Mann, Crossland, Woolford etc all got injured?

 

[Silent Knight]

Nathan Brown is the new Laurie Daley. Nfi.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Sione Is playing in the wing..

 

[Tom155]

Bradman Best scored 3 tries in his 1st game back from injury

[Zoidberg]

Ok. Let’s put ourselves through this yet again.

 

[Zoidberg]

Wow. Why can’t Connor do something so simple?

 

[slotmachine]

Watson and passing the ball, oil and water

 

[Spot On]

Unbelievable that an NRL player on big dollars can't pass the football.

 

[Loose Cannon]

You could see he was shitting himself know he had to pass. WTF is that about?
