Penrith v The Saddle Club

[Luke Bowden]

NSW Cup play on TV this week.

The forum will see how much he improved across the year. He has been a beast

He’s looking better each game

Looking forward to seeing the battle between Tago/May and Staggs/Cobbo. Get early ball to any of them, and they look dangerous. Would really like Tago in particular to put together a really strong 80min performance - he only seems to be playing 45-50mins a week at the moment.

I reckon we'll win by 20-30, but would love to keep them to nil. We're scoring plenty of points without really clicking so far this year, but I'm more interested in our defensive performances. And we're missing far too many tackles at the moment. If we get up in Haas' face all night, and stop the offload, we'll shut them down completely.

Tago/May have only played a handful of games together and dont forget centre is a very difficult spot to defend - this wil come with experience

Salmon would probably bend the line more than Blacker.

Dear god i hope we aren't ever that desperate

Should have seen Blacker a couple of weeks ago V Newcastle. From the kick-off, he put a bloke out of the game when he tried to tackle him. Had a strong game.

Which player?

Eddie Blacker

 

[Port Panther]

I think if we persevere with him he will make a good Nrl player at the very least .

Friday nights game will be like many others. If the Panthers take their opposition llightly , they will be in for a rude shock. Even without Hass. Broncos have an improved pack and with Reynolds in the halves will be a challenging team to play.

Hopefully there will be a big crowd come Friday night. I wish I could be there live.

Herbie farnworth is out apparently

Oates too

 

[murraymob]

Herbie Farnsworth there center is out another big blow to them .while staggs is there name back his work rate is not even close to farnsworth

 

[John Hamblin]

I'm expecting a big game from Nathan. His future is sealed and a couple of games under the belt.

In some respects it would have been good to play the Broncos at full strength. Regardless of there final 17 we need to play at our best for the full 80, something we probably haven’t quite nailed thus far.

 

[Kilkenny]

According to Fox Sports late mail the debutant replacing Herbie is 28 years old? Late bloomer?

 

[Kilkenny]

Not enough talk about tomorrow night.

Apparently he played a handful of games for the WTs a few years back. First game for Brisbane though in the top grade.

Hard to get excited about the game; with their outs we should win in a canter.

Plenty of games like this last year; you watch not expecting a contest, but just hoping we don’t get any injuries…

Just saving the mental strength for when we need it

 

[murraymob]

Crowd will be interesting last I heard there was only 3000 general admission left .not sure what our record for crowds over a year was.but we could be on track for that

 

[Smug Panther]

Hope we rip in for at least 40 because f**k Brisbane but I think we'll cruise like last weekend
