Mighty Panthers V Parramatta

[franklin2323]

Nath is the General - Sure, the lower ranks might be able to cover his arcs of fire for a while, but they will inevitably miss a shot or two that he would have hit.

(Excuse the military analogy, I'm missing my Army mates a lot today for some reason)

As long as enough shots hit... then those you miss don't matter

I don't know about "don't matter" at all, but it won't matter as much given the talent we have left in the side, I agree with that much.

 

[age.s]

I think people under estimate how good we are. We can cover a few bad kicks a few missed overlaps etc and still win.

I think that's underestimating how good the Storm are.

Parra's draw home

Play us twice
Manly at Brookvale
Storm in Melbourne
Roosters away
Souths

All the top 4 sides play against each other though. All will take games off each other. We win half those games you mentioned we are fine.

We won't lose another home game. Includes this week and Souths. Win one of the other 3 and we are fine

I think the Storm may lose tomorrow. Roosters will have been embarrassed last time around. I can see tomorrow being their grand final, and then the season slipping away a bit.

Come finals you need to take the chances but atm it is just getting the wins. 4 tries should do the trick...How many you miss doesn't matter if you get the 2 points.

I think so too. It was like they pencilled that game in. And rested a few guys v us. Storm have a few guys out and all the flying over the last few days

 

[franklin2323]

I think that's underestimating how good the Storm are.

No the Storm are good very good. Nathan should be back v them and the rest of the comp we can win even with key guys missing.

 

[Smug Panther]

We'll lose against the Storm 8/10 times n a GF without Nathan

Sort of. I think Cleary is a big part of our consistency and players like Crichton and Kikau will need to be a bit better. Crichton needs a bit more involvement from centre the guy is a freak athlete.

He needs to stay centre to get better.

 

[WestyLife]

He needs to stay centre to get better.

Definitely agree although not entirely anyone's fault. Like you said earlier we've had only a few games with the entire starting spine.

 

[hindy111]

Yeah that is it. Very common.

He wasn't but this is when everyone will realise how good Luai really is. If he covers the 20% drop from Cleary. Get Burton used more and Cleary can just do it from behind

Sounds like Capewell will get involved in this for sure.

 

[hindy111]

Disagree Edwards is not a tackle busting return runner anyway.charie will return fine just no mistakes or dropped ball on the return

Edwards breaks the first tackle nearly every run.

 

[murraymob]

Edwards breaks the first tackle nearly every run.

He also has been average his last 2 games .Yes he is a loss but we can adjust to it

 

[murraymob]

Parra also have a heavy loss in Mahoney being out .he is brilliant getting them rolling

 

[hindy111]

Parra should be more worried if they can’t beat us now they never will .We win it is a 2 horse race.Melbourne have Munster walking a fine line with the judiciary he has been lucky so far closer to the semi finals he might not be

Who is missing? Edwards and Nathan. Momorski doesn't make beat side and plenty would argue Naden is better.
Eels are missing one of there best players also in Mahoney.
Parra are a work in progress. They haven't hit straps. Win,lose or draw I go into the finals knowing players will have more energy and combinations may improve. That's for both sides.
You don't win titles in July

 

[hindy111]

Nathan is the games best defending half and probably the best since Joey and Freddy. You really struggle giving him credit don't you? Burton is a gun but of course our defence will be weakened

I'd say Dylan Brown the best defensive half. He just can't attack

 

[hindy111]

If you keep Tago on the bench then if the games done Nathan can come off. It might be 50mins in or it maybe 65mins in but I don't think he should be played for 80mins once the games result is over.

QLD biggest mistake not playing Mahoney game one.

Yes and had he played he doesn't on the weekend and most likely is still fit.
