Rd4: GAME DAY THREAD 530pm Parra v Panthers @ Commbank 28/3/26

[Suitman]

Have we gotten too excited about Ionghi too early? He seems to drift in and out of games. Defensively hes so out of position way too often

Don't go there.
We are playing the unbeatable's atm.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

I won’t be able to top Parramatta for comedic value.

I’m just taking the piss. We will probably get belted by the Storm next week.

I know mate I just need something to cheer me up through this next 40mins of analing ffs!!

Let's face it, our pack has very little go forward. League is a simple game, you make ground then bring your backs to score points. Then you defend. We don't make the yards and then can't defend.

 

[Sensei Cobra]

As shit as we are panthers are playing on a compete other level at the moment
No one is close to them

 

[Soto]

We are But let's go there about Ionghis positioning in defence....he's been caught out in the 4 games this yr and its not like its improving.
The same issue was there last yr..
Nothing fixed there

Not myself and davemc. Hes brave at rucking and good at dummy and run.

Bad at positing, high balls and support

 

[hineyrulz]

I just wanna see some fire from the lads - rip in and don’t make it easy for merkins!

I got some bad news for you my friend.

 

[JokerEel]

Any updates on Sam??

 

[Eelementary]

You won’t mate. You guys are next level. We are shithouse.

And will continue to be until someone at the club starts making rough decisions...

 

[Timana]

Our defense is worse than last year

 

[Sensei Cobra]

Walker cannot start he’s a massive hole in our defensive line

 

[The Predictor]

Defence is shocking, it is as bad this year as it has been over the last 5

I know mate I just need something to cheer me up through this next 40mins of analing ffs!!

Lucky im Greek

Walker Williams Kelma all cant start

I'm a simple fool, but I'd say the two are linked - we get belted carting the ball up, so we're gassed when we need to defend.

 

[The Predictor]

Don't go there.
We are playing the unbeatable's atm.

We certainly are contributing to that moniker!!!!

 

[hineyrulz]

Anyone who thinks this squad should be anyway near the cap and anywhere near good enough to compete is either huffing paint, Pou or Mark O’Neill.

But he's the least of our issues right now, tbh...

 

[Sensei Cobra]

Correct and incredibly frustrating
Last year there were really positive signs but it’s as bad as ever so far this year … what the f**k happened

 

[Timana]

I’d be looking at signing a stack of these Panthers players who are available from 1 November. Give them overs. f**k it.

Yup give Maclean $1M,450k for Milkie

Hard regarding their forwards as they are getting old.

 

[The Predictor]

JAC and Russell our only good players

And even Carr couldn’t score a gimme
