The way the panthers played in the first half,I knew that the last 15 minutes of the game would be crucial.
As far as I'm concerned,that was our 2nd last "trial" match so to speak.
And once we get back to full strength,we'll be showing the football world what we are all about.
There were a couple of silly errors in this game which made you bang your head against the wall.
But to the defense of the Panthers,the errors,handling and defensive came about due to players running on reserves of energy.
Once we get that crap out of our game,and drum it into the younger players into not getting baited by the opposition,the better off we will be.
That first 60 minutes was nothing but pure class,albeit the attack still needs quite a bit of work to do especially near the opponents try line.
The defense,immaculate.
But in saying that,it was a Canterbury side in which IMO,is a better outfit than last year's.
If we can do that kind of damage to a side that is widely tipped as a top 4 finish,god knows what we can do for the rest of the season.
Good times ahead indeed.;-)
