Rd 27 v Panthers

[thebigredv]

Good news - no changes!

Not sure who that 7 is. Bit of a surprise.
Anyone know much about him?

 

[Gardenia]

Oh boy… Penrith full strength at home.

Kyle tries his heart out, bless him, but this is gonna be rough.

 

[Slippery Morris]

Battle of the father and sons. Pity Saints have the worst coach and the worst 7 of the 2.

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Good news - no changes!

Why fix something that is broken beyond repair? Just chuck it out

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Lawrie ruled out…that definitely makes the riff favourites now

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

Oh boy… Penrith full strength at home.

Kyle tries his heart out, bless him, but this is gonna be rough.

If I was Ivan

If the team I was versing had 10 players out injured

if it was the last round before the finals

if I wanted my team to send a signal to the finals games

If I had the team with minimal injuries

if I was playing at home in front our fans

I would expect nothing less than a WALL of defence and keep the Dragons to max 2 tries and my own team to score minimum 6 tries

I’m going go with Panthers 34-10

 

[Corrimal Dragon]

Terrible season finishing behind Souths, Parramatta, Wests and Cowboys. The we resign flannagan what a massive joke.
We're the laughing stock of the league.

Only 2 clubs we've beaten home and both those teams coaches out the door.

Very very poor administration

 

[Slippery Morris]

There is a silver lining to this season and that is the experience these youngsters now have - Egan, Couchman's, Stewart, LKT, LPT, Tsougranis, Halangahu and Buchanan. Sorry if I missed any. They have been impressive.

Hopefully next year these guys cement themselves to be regular first grade players at Saints. If these 9 guys are in the starting 17 in 2 plus years, we can look back at 2025 where it all began.

Once Saints can get their halves sorted and can bring in a hard-nosed experience prop to join Kerr and is below 30, they will be ok. Saints simply cannot win a comp with Kyle at 7 but he has shown that he is good enough to be in the starting 17, just not in the halves.

Will he though?
Given what we've seen the last 2 weeks, there's a real risk of having a season ending injury. IE:
Kiraz- Dogs
Hughes- Storm

It's a real roll of the dice against a team who may just want to prove a point.

How can we be laughingstock of the league when the Titans are in the comp?

 

[Wolfgang90]

Last game of the season, hope the boys are fired up & cause an upset. LFG!

 

[RedVDave]

Last game of the year let's f'n go!!! ...and get this sh!t over with.

 

[RedVDave]

Only chance we got is if they tank to avoid a trip to NZ

They have the wood over the Sharks.

I expecting a massive drop in my blood pressure after today.

 

[carltonsouth79]

Hopefully we have a real dig, win lose or draw. Go boys!

 

[Number of the Beath]

It may just be the antidepressants talking but I'm backing us for an upset 20-12 win.
I just thought I'd break with tradition and try to be positive about this sh*tty team and clueless coach.
Go Saints!

 

[Dragsters]

GO THE MIGHTIES!!!

 

[qld redvee]

Let's hope its an 80 minute effort from the boys or it could get nasty
Hope guler can reach 100 metres today.

Well the roller-coaster ride is over for another year

Let's hope for an upset

CT hammy gone again
