Rd.23 v Knights

[Hairy Hamburger]

Panthers need to be prepared for a game this Friday on a ground that has been ripped to pieces, having had the WNRL Magic Round games played non stop over 2 days, plus the large amount of rainfall. Playing surface will be bad. Now is not the time of the year for season ending injuries.

If the ground is in bad condition simplicity is the key straight panther ball grind grind grind get the 2 points by a low score does not matter

 

[Pomoz]

This is a tricky game. The torn up ground will nullify any advantage our forward pack has. The Knights fans will be baying for our blood after "Coachgate" and their team will be pumped up after the week off.

Anyone else get one of the indigenous jerseys? Just ordered mine so should have it tomorrow - Never been a massive fan of our previous iterations but this one is fire (slight second favourite to the ANZAC one)

Teams up. Obviously yeo and patea out. Soro back and eiso in.

I assume papali will start at prop and smith at lock.

Garner possibly may be out with severe bout of the flu according to peter lang even tho hes named

Why the f**k are we still playing Huth? Its embarrassing

Matty E did a good job last outing. No reason not to play him.

I am thinking perhaps Bizza gets a rest this week too.

 

[Sime_11]

Alamoti would be more effective than Huth off the bench

 

[age.s]

The forward cupboard is really bare once we get 2+ injuries deep.

 

[Bred not Bought]

Great to see Panthers LU fan favourite Huth back in the team

 

[Murraymob1]

Interesting to see the role Huth plays previously he has done the Yeo role but smith has being doing that lately we need to to be a prop up and down runs.Martin will need to increase his work load to cover the loss of several forwards

 

[Girds89]

I dont think we will see a complacent team this week

Any available player in the top 30 offers more in 2025

 

[Goonji]

After the second half fade out on Saturday, everything points to a Panthers win this weekend. No one will be asleep at the wheel? Good to see Scotty back.

 

[Chins]

Harder with Yeo and Patea out but we need to be careful with how many minutes Sorro plays.
Need him on the bench for the finals

 

[Whino]

Some of those boys will want to atone for their last performances against the Knights.

I pre ordered mine and got it two weeks ago. I think it’s one of the best.

Any news on when Yeo and Patea are back?

Even if Patea isn't back till the final round it would be handy if another forward was injured. He'd be first choice

Scans cleared both of serious damage.

2-4 weeks on both. Seems to be the consensuses.
