I hope for your sake he's not like Wayne Scurrah - another club CEO who knew Jack about rugby league, sent Ivan Cleary packing and set us back 12 years. We've only now recovered from that.

Nah he only handles the Finances thankifully.

DT like to go to him because the club has banned talking to them and he gives content from his days involved with Racing

I love a well-reasoned fan who can do better than one-eyed analysis of things their club does.

I got the exact same thing as your last sentence - a butt-hurt CEO who can't get his way, so wants other people not to, as well. Cry baby indeed.

The game is still in Sydney, more Panthers fans can go, I know it's not the same advantage as playing out West but gee, shut up and enjoy the home town advantage. Week 3 finals aren't coming to your poxy 22,500 seat stadium. Deal with it. Or go play at CommBank.
Wahs played at home vs eden park

Oh yeah, the media work out pretty quickly who has a couple at lunch and will give them a front page-worthy quote.

I've seen Panthers fans on social media say the Broncos should be playing at Robina Stadium. FMD!

Do these people not realise it's about capacity?

The only teams that can get a preliminary final at their home ground are Broncos, Raiders, Storm, Knights, Cowboys and Warriors because there isn't a larger stadium within driving distance for their fans.

I really hope Storm win this one so the Broncos can smash them in the GF. That should get the Panthers' boss sooking big time.

Bulldog Ritchie is the lazy journo too. Atleast others leave their house
Bulldog has to ring up players from 1970s, & 1980s for quotes and stories.

He wouldn't speak to any current day players now because he is either a dinosaur or the current players simply dont want to talk to him.

Are you surprised? First time on Facebook?

Most teams FB groups are full of mouth breathers with no clue how things work or why. It's mostly bandwagoners that whinge about everything that they feel doesn't go how they think it should.

If I sought rugby league opinion on BoomerBook instead of LU, I would have given up on rugby league long ago. It's like conversing with apes on there.

I hate watching Penrith. They are just so boring to watch. Sure they are a well drilled team, but hardly a gifted team of champions that can do extraordinary things out of nothing.

They are coached very well and do all the little things well in a competition that is very weak and full of teams with weaknesses. The Broncos are the only team that has a roaster of stars, but they are probably a year away from having enough steel and experience to beat a hardened fresh and fit Panthers team at this stage. And even next year they won't be as strong as this season personnel wise since they are losing some quality to the Dolphins.

The Panthers to me and Cleary in particular, remind me of Ivan Lendl the tennis player. Great but boring and just going through the process right to the end like a robot. Hardly memorable to watch and every time Jimmy Connors stepped onto the court it was like a breath of fresh air and the crowd would erupt with excitement and enthusiasm.

Clinical and relatively mistake free football may win you games sure, but hardly wins over the fans and wider audience that want to see thrills and spills and unpredictability. People want magic not effective robots.

Three years of this anaconda squeezing of their opposition in the GF will be a total snooze fest for 90% of the audience, unless the improbable happens and they fail in the big one, which is so very unlikely, but we can all hope I suppose.

When they won it the first time, that was cool enough, but now that they are simply doing a rinse and repeat for 3 straight years...ho f**king hum! Who gives a sh*t? They are boring as all f**k and have just hit a Goldilocks period in time where virtually every other team in the NRL is(bar the Broncos) so piss weak or in a rebuilding phase they have almost no decent opposition to oppose them. It's like teenagers playing against experienced 20 year olds.

Oh well the bias, agenda driven and dumb arse media and pundits will hail them as the mightiest of all time and put Cleary on a pedestal of the best of all time(eventually) but when you play in an era of weaklings and no ones, well the one team that has its sh*t together is gonna look like the invincible almost every time.

So freakin boring and Cleary the best of all time? Don't make me laugh, that would be like saying Ivan Lendl as impressive as his record is, is the best of all time. Hardly!

Yep. I expect a follow up with some old time player about how it was done more fair in those days

I think it is because we don't concede many line breaks that people see it as boring.

Take the semi in Round 1.

We made 9 linebreaks
10 offloads

So it wasn't just 1 out than kick type of stuff to pad stats out.

The Martin try itself was nothing special but the lead up is where the action was. Crichton almost scored on the left then ball movement has us score on the right
