Panthers R21 @ the Gong

Didnt see that coming.

But he did after last game
The old dropped? unofficially perhaps

 

[Lennyb]

The worse one is Todd Smith. He says it in his sleep

Todd is a pretty good ref. For an up and comer, he is fair and holds his own.

The way I see it, we should be up for this one. Huge 2 points on the line, 2pm Sunday afternoon at the Gong - wearing our commemorative jersey and (hopefully) there's been a bit of a build up during the week about what the club means. Its an especially big game because we're heading down to Melbourne next week, it doesn't get much tougher than that and we're at risk of falling a few spots back on the ladder if we lose two in a row. We've named probably the best side we possibly could have - and I see an advantage for us on the interchange, our bench is better than theirs.

Sutton will give us nothing against penrith - no matter how big and vocal the crowd is on Sunday. We're going to have to deal with that and just get over it - first 20 minutes line speed will be crucial. Once their bench forwards come on and ours do too, line speed still crucial but it's a lot more comforting that our bench players are better. It's about weathering those periods when JFH and Leota are on and dominating field position. Hunt's kicking game has to be better to allow for this, a few early kicks maybe to make up for the fact that when he kicks on the 5th all he does is find opposition wingers/fullbacks on the full. If we pin them, discipline, discipline, discipline. Give Sutton no reason to blow his whistle, because he will given the slightest opportunity. Hunt also needs to just get out of the way and let the ball go left in this game which is the thing that worries me most. There's points out there if we let the ball go left, but Hunt just won't allow it. Absolute ball hog. If we go left, angled runs from Suli right at Cleary are the go, Sloan out the back of shape to expose Tago who has been hopeless this year defensively. I just pray Hunt doesn't dominate the possession down the right, it would illustrate just how clueless and selfish he is considering how blatantly obvious it is we need to go left

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but “wearing the commerative jersey” if anything, is a liability. Our ground breaking marketing department have used McLoser to market it.

He’s got no personality

He’s got no personality

Sure he does ... it is just of that maths nerd in year 8 that sits at the front of the classroom and dobs on the rest of the class for smoking in the dunnies ... wait ... my mistake .. he has no personality.

 

[2010Dragons]

We have the trifecta.
Sutton
Sharpie
Badger in the box.
Three of the worst incompetent guessing imposter refs.
What could possibly go right for the Dragons?

It's a sell out. Boys better turn up

A Win

 

[DeathBlooms]

To win it will come down on Hunt kicking game and Sloan positional play. Cleary can easily copy what Walker been doing to Sloan.

Sloans playing in the reserves .

Well at least we now that Flanno won’t cop incompetence. Sloan, Bird, Lawrie, Rava have all been dropped.

 

[jeffdragon]

Sloan is one of our few attacking weapons.
His defence is ordinary, but I can't see us scoring enough to bt either Penrith or Storm.

 

[DeathBlooms]

is Mat Feagai playing FB or swapping with Lomax?

Means we will concede fewer points, hence we may have a better chance of winning

Yes that is the question!

Tme will tell.
I think Penrith would rather have Faegai running at them then Sloan's speed in attack.
