Rd.12 v’s Knights (must win)

[Old and Disgruntled]

I have been a supporter since 1988 & full paying member since 2008. I remember the tough years where the club bent o we backwards to help you.

now we’ve had success the club doesn’t want to even give an injury update to keep us members & fans in the loop. They will lose us loyal ones as quick as the bandwagoners have jumped onboard.

This is why we pay for the right to be members to feel part of the club.

The club is really pissing me off this past year or so. I’m fed up & about to hand back everything!

Update on Panthers site.

 

[The Realist]

Back-rower Scott Sorensen still has another week to serve for a shoulder-charge ban, as a result of electing to fight the sanction at the judiciary last month.

And to make matters worse, Isaiah Papali'i has suffered a knee injury which is set to rule him out for at least two weeks.

It means Riki will start in only his second NRL game, while Liam Henry has also moved from his regular position of prop into the second row.

This is an unmitigated disaster. That contesting of the shoulder charge is really biting us hard now.

Riki shouldn't ever be near 1st Grade and Henry has been exposed defensively in the 2nd row when he has featured there in the past.

Sharpe is the danger, the good young fullback and the disgraceful ref

You got that right. Another penaltyathon coming from Miss Sharpe. She needs a breather every couple of minutes so lots of stoppages.

 

[Chins]

No change to the bench. Ivan taking big dumb risks here

 

[Bred not Bought]

Hassett and Jessie still in the 19.

What should he do?

 

[Chins]

What should he do?

Can't go both Sommerton and Cole. His small bench cost us the Cows game

Kenny will probably play 80 though. Will be on the field same time as Sommerton. So overall we aren't quite as light as it looks.

But I'd prefer an extra forward. Honestly someone like Hassett. Unless they just aren't good enough? Considering the backrowers out I'd be playing him.

 

[Girds89]

Hassett is to small to but atleast hes a 2nd rower..

Id rather cole 14.

Kenny to play 80. Cole covers lock and the backs and half.

Hassett dias and patea all to share the mins and ease the workload of nsw cup guys who aremt fg standard.

No two ways about it we are up against it.

Well that's great news.

It's a must win game but this is rep season. Sorensen, Garner, Papali'i and Martin are unavailable. You've got to give the next man up a chance.

I like it but let's be real it's only because M.G 2.0 is injured.

Yeah exactly. Make that 5 backrowers if you include Papali'i.

These guys are next up. I recall Henry got burnt last year against the Cowboys in the backrow so we've seen his limitations. This is a good decision and we've got a good dose of enthusiasm with Hassett, Riki and Dias.

Champing at the bit Hassett surely. 40 games in reggies I'm reading. 10 tries so handy at finding the line. I have to give him a fiver for anytime* try scorer.

People here rated him at one point so hope he goes well. Definitely nice he's an actual second rower. You're right Henry shouldn't be there. Big dumb lovable prop who's too slow to defend wide.

Win tomorrow and one point out of the 8 at the end of the weekend.

A loss and we're last!

Crazy comp this year. I'm actually enjoying it even though we have mostly sucked balls.
