Brett Firman's been all over the place.

Do you think he'll stay at Penrith for at least 2 years?

thanks for that just got the squad off the panthers site still a good looking team tho.. but so is the titans backline

 

[Big Mick]

if we play Youngquest...i suspect Mat Rogers or Jake Webster...whoever plays centre that side will have a field day.

Poor Mick Gordon, despite his good defence, he'll be left all alone out there because Youngquest can't tackle for sh*te. How some people were calling for him to become a centre is ridiculous.

Can't wait to see Youngquest out of there and Jennings in.

I would have started with Nathan Smith on the wing with Gordon...I think that could be quite potent...particularly if Smith could stay fit for 4 weeks at a time.

I'm glad to see Matt Hilder getting a go at the Titans...I rate that guy, always have. Great tackling technique, good kicker...imo he will end up one of the buys of the season based on how much he cost.

14. Paul Aiton, 15. Frank Puletua, 16. Matthew Bell, 17. Junior Moors, 18. Nathan Smith, 19. Brett Firman

Missing: Frank Pritchard, Shane Rodney, Michael Jennings, PeeWee Moke.

I hope not as it was well documented last year that Youngquest can't handle right wing. He is a specialist left side player which is why Michael Gordon got bought up when Hookey got dropped.

 

[TITAN1]

Whoever plays opposite lewis will have a field day,his defence is suss and he goes for too many intercepts which leaves his winger exposed..btw parrafan you need to update your sig to show the titans win!

I expect Gordon and Wesser to carve up for Panthers.

Rogers and Webster to carve up for Titans.

Our forwards should run over top of the Titans with ease, but the Titans have some weapons on the bench that could carve us up when/if we tire. Preston Campbell coming on against a tired team... will do a lot of damage.
