Unfortunately, the news about Dylan’s knee doesn’t look good…..

I agree with you @Chins get the wins
F**K ORIGIN!!

A month isn't too bad but at some point the clubs will sue the NRL. Can't have employees injured in these games

Not such a bad thing he will come back fresh for the finals allows us to shift a few around before finals

Especially when it’s the clubs that are forking out the big bucks for these players to play, not the NSWRL or QRL.

We need combinations but Edwards will be fine and won't affect sorting the shit show that is right side.

Get him rested and be firing for finals

Do we give Iongi the month at 1 and see what Laurie can build with Nath? When will he be back?

Laurie has been our best non Origin player and should be the 14. He should be the one when fit.

He was 3-4 weeks. So might be back next week

It's a good idea.

Also for the thread in general fun stat Reece walsh hasn't ever beaten Edwards

Let's see how Iongi goes first, but I like it in principle.

As I watched the game last night and the incredible toughness of the players I couldn't help but feel pride at the performance of the Panther players. When it was tough making metres, To'o, Edwards, Martin and Yeo just dug in and took the tough carries. Their guts and fitness just stood out.

They smashed Martin repeatedly. He laughed at them. They surrounded To'o and he just kept making metres. Edwards took the ball into the teeth of the forwards repeatedly, he got smashed several times. Dumped on his back for his troubles. Injury did not stop him. Yeo rumbled forward, built like an exclamation mark and waddling like a penguin, yet somehow continuing to make yards with three players hanging off him making more post contact metres than most of the QLD forwards made running metres.

In a game acclaimed to be one of the best ever and the toughest defence ever (2 - 0 at halftime!), Yeo topped the running metres for the forwards, Edwards for the backs. Just stop and think about that for a minute. Two Panthers players topped the running metre counts.

It was said that "Panther Ball" doesn't work at SOO level and that we need fewer Panther players. No, what we needed was a coach who would pick the right players and give them the right direction. Turns out the right players consist of 5 Panthers and two ex-Panthers.

When I look at some of the new players coming through like Henry, Smith and Cole I see the same traits as our Blues players. Tough, selfless, humble, fit. The Panthers don't do flash. They do quality. They build warriors, not highlight reels.

Cleary and the football management team have built a culture at the Panthers that builds players made of the right stuff. What an incredible achievement by the coaching team to deliver 7 NSW players to the Blues, all developed from the juniors. Right now, us Panther fans are living in an era where a legend is being formed right before our eyes.

One last comment. Patrick Carrigan is the most "Panther" like player in the maroons. Absolute quality. Tough, fit, selfless. 164m and 58 tackles. Just a brilliant player.

Would have been 8 if Cleary was fit. Pretty incredible really. Make it 9 if you include the 18th man who you could argue was unlucky to miss out.

 

[Munky]

Also for the thread in general fun stat Reece walsh hasn't ever beaten Edwards

If RLProject is to be believed nor has Ponga.

While Teddy hasn't come close this decade.

You could probably roll out an extremely competetive team of players who haven't beaten us this decade.

A seventeen man team from the 2021 and 2022 Panther squads would beat almost any team they came against.

Edwards
To'o
Critta
Tago/Burton
Yam (maybe Staines)

Luai
Cleary

JFH
Api
Moses
Martin
Kiks
Yeo

Tago/Burton
Spencer
Sorro
Capewell (maybe start instead of Kiks)

That's an incredible team with Origin/NZ internationals in 14/17 slots.

 

[Panther Mike]

As proud as I am of our guys doing well in Origin, I'm disappointed that it comes with a cost of an injury to such a key player in Dyl. Hopefully he only misses a couple of games.

Flash Vs substance.

Yep! Whether he was a Warrior or a Bronco, Walsh has never experienced a win over Penrith.

 

[Black Diamond]

Dont care who they play for now, Critta and Spence will always be Panthers.

 

[Stinkfinger]

Was it Cobbo that tackled him in the air?

Yes I think so.
