Round 10 Panthers V Storm

[Iamback]

There predicting rain over the weekend .that would hurt them more than us.Remis smith there center just tore a pec so he will be out

If we start kicking

 

[Iamback]

Wait till Cowboys play some good teams and we'll see if that stat holds up

Brisbane
Bulldogs
Parra
Knights


Scored less against them then us.

So the sample size is big enough to gauge

 

[Iamback]

Kenny will stay as he is back up for api .sorrenson in for. EISENHUTH .personally I would go EISENHUTH salmon out sorrenson hopgood in

Comeback to who covers a back if they get hurt

Kenny on the bench makes no sense

Salmon can’t cover hooker any better than .we need to reward the lower graders and it will not hurt salmon and EISENHUTH to get longer game time coming up to origin

 

[Munky]

Papz has done an injury to both legs.

Could be in doubt.

 

[The Realist]

I give us a 10% chance of winning this. Lets face it folks, Storm are a cut above us ATM.

One loss and here comes the negativity. Our record over the last 3 years is sensational. BELIEVE> I would prefer O'Sullivan in front of Kenny or Salmon off the bench.

No but Api plays 80 mins.

There are are 16 other guys that need cover. You can get away with moving a centre to cover wing or Fullback but you need someone to cover centre and any forward at a push.

Kenny is just wasting a spot

The issue is the NSW Cup guys going are in positions we are stocked in.

Was a shame Hopgood hasn't played edge would perfect to get some minutes

We aren't the same team from prior years though.

Neither half had a try assist on the weekend. Throw in defence being off and we have some work to do

The evidence is there for everyone to see. Storm are clinically taking teams apart. They are top of the table now and I would contend that they have had the more challenging draw to date.

They have also had an exceptional 3 years as well despite the 1 vs 2 Grand final appearances. They were literally 1 George Jennings drop away from being 2 GF wins to our 0.

The Parra loss was really worse on reflection. We were basically 'full strength' whilst they still had 3 solid weapons out. They also had 1 day less than us to recover and their game was a HOT one in Darwin.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

26-12 to the good guys. Cleary the man of the match with 2 tries and a try assist.

Yep. I am not ruling us from winning the comp

We just need to improve a few areas. This next few weeks will show where we stand

 

[The_Frog]

Papenhuyzen has done a hammy, almost certainly won't play. Reimis Smith out too. Storm have drifted from $1.90 to $2.60.

The Storm did this last year as well but did NOT make the GF

They are playing well, but a lot of their wins against bums have been too easy. They haven't had a hard match for awhile. That is our best chance. We need to play better than we have been the past few weeks though.

 

[Smug Panther]

We are the best side in the comp but Storm are playing better right now and that's a FANTASTIC thing for us. Peaking in September is all the matters

 

[The_Frog]

The evidence is there for everyone to see. Storm are clinically taking teams apart. They are top of the table now and I would contend that they have had the more challenging draw to date.

The Storm and us have played six teams in common (Souths, Parra, Bulldogs, Raiders, Knights and Dragons). Both lost against the Eels and beat all the others. Against the remaining three, Storm have played teams that have won 12 games, regardless of who wins the game in progress, and so have we. There's not a struck match in it. They just win matches against beaten teams by more, and our loss is more recent.

 

[Nealo 12]

Heading up for the whole round, crap weather predicted ,but may just work in our favour

 

[mxlegend99]

Storm easily in better form than us at the moment. But form now won't mean shit in 2 months so it's not a big deal if we win or lose.

Winning would be better. But honestly we should expect to drop a few games over the upcoming weeks anyway. Its the form once Origin is done that matters.

 

[CCJohnC]

Papenhuyzen out for possibly 4 weeks. Hamstring and knee.
