Panthers v Parra

[Girds89]

The loss of brian is huge.

Imo what ivan has royally stuffed up was playing everyone in the meaningless rd 25 clash..

Especially players like too and edwards and leota who have had issues..

He was so determined to play them all together its been detrimemental..

I said that whole week we shouldve rested players. And as it turns out i think last weel a lot of our players looked flat and tired.

The week off was what was needed.

The loss of brian is huge.. the back 5 will all need to chip in an extra 30 or 40m each compared to their normal outputs to make up for his loss.

Nado will be targeted. Hopefully he has one of his diamond games whixh he has in him.

 

[Munky]

Naden is probably worth ten points against in defence.

I really hope he fires.

Should have rested anyone who had a niggle. Edwards would definitely come into that category.

He just asked what the plan is since it seems quite random. How is that a comment on the coaching at all?

Seemed like one to me. But its not a good look when Staines played last week and Naden this week. It looks like the coach is at his wits end.

Different sides of the field.

 

[Exsilium]

Two years in a row where Ivan has not rested players.

The side was smashed with injuries and Fish went home for a month. Ivan isn't a good coach but he got that as right as possible imo

Or he has no idea?

I can't agree. We have the depth in several positions but at no time have we looked to rest the players or rotate the squad unless injuries forced his hand.

I just hope we jag a win tomorrow and who knows. With Manly playing the way they are, they should topple Souths. If we can do the job against the storm, we're in with the best chance.

Who could of we rested? Maybe Yeo, Capewell and Martin?

Martin could have rested for Spencer.

Too for Naden/Staines for an extra week

Edwards one more week.

I'm of the opinion he hasn't managed the squad rotation very well this year.

 

[WestyLife]

Also with To'o out you probably can't carry Staines. Even I recognise that.

The whole team bar fish

Alexander has just said too and back early pulled up sore after first game was surprised he played the next week .he also said he will be okay to play next week

 

[The Realist]

im perfectly happy with that, anything more is just a bonus.

Low expectations that leads to being satisfied with mediocrity. Very sad.

Or maybe i am just happy my team has made the finals. what's sad is thinking a team that has gone 2 years in a row into the finals is mediocre.

this really is a fairytale year not only do parra finally win another premiership we get to knock the panthers out and officially close there premiership window.

next year being the 3rd year there will begin to be in fighting at the club, players wanting up a grades and wanting out of the club. There will be pressure to the sack the board and fire both clearys I’ve seen it all before.

on well at least you has 2 decent regular seasons in a row shame you choke in the finals both years

BTW I’m the legendary Rhyno just haven’t been able to get into my account since the update that’s why I’ve been quite this year when parra has been having a great year and panthers bubble has been slowly leaking

He was clearly limping after the Parra game. It’s all a moot point now but he should have sat that game out. Who knows, might have had his usual 200m+ game and got us over the line last week. Ah well, let’s hope he’s good to go next week if we make it.

 

[The Realist]

CRAP

FACT. I mean some posters here have pretty much explicitly stated it.
