Round 13 against the Roosters

[Panther Pete]

It’s hard to believe the effort we just watched for 80 mins is from the same team only a few weeks ago was letting the opposition put on 4 tries in the opening 15 mins of a game. Surely the turn around in attitude and now playing as a team couldn’t all be as a result of dropping DWZ? No doubt the inclusion of Martin, Naden, Kenny and Too has been a major positive for us.

the Roosters stood offside almost all game and I don't remember them being pinged once for it.

Two that I can recall. Cummins wasn't that bad. The strip in the first half was a bad call against us, but we got a couple back.

 

[betcats]

Pfft...we already have better.

Disagree I think he’s going to be a star.

 

[GongPanther]

One win behind 8th but with an horrendous for and against.

We can make that up with simply getting wins,hopefully with big margins, and other sides going on a downward slide. So we will have to be very fortunate for a few reasons to make the finals.

One week at a time.

 

[GongPanther]

Geeze I though it was 10 minutes every day of the week.

It sure was going by the run of the play. A text book binning if there was one.

How goods Edwards starting to look.

 

[GongPanther]

Big fan of Naden. The kid wants it

Have a look at his interview on the Panthers site. The man oozes passion for our great club.

 

[Marky Mark]

How goods Edwards starting to look.

Definitely regained some confidence - I wanna see more sneaky offloads from the forwards with him hanging around.

 

[OldPanther]

How goods Edwards starting to look.

Getting his groove back. We are starting to look like a footy team again. A few more games and we might just be were we should be.

 

[martielang]

Was Winterstein injured?

 

[GongPanther]

Finally someone that can chase a kick!

H.G. Nelson: "Who does he remind you of Roy?"

Roy Slaven: "The Penguin!!!"

 

[GongPanther]

6. Luai
7. Maloney
9. Cleary

LOL!

 

[GongPanther]

Shame to see but whatever he was bringing must have been pretty toxic for such a big shift in attitude.

It was evident to see. It's as if he saw himself on a pedestal higher than his team mates. The definition of a sports-wanker.

 

[GongPanther]

Radley is nothing special.

Granted, he is a true talent. But we have the likes fo Marty and Kenny.

 

[tripster]

Was Winterstein injured?

I wondered the same thing. He left the field after about 20 minutes and didn’t return. When he was on the field he made a few tackles early then hung back until he was interchanged.

 

[tripster]

I must say I have been pleasantly surprised by To’o.

When I first saw him on the field in his debut against the Warriors I thought he was far too small to be a first grade quality winger, and he got monstered in that game.

Since then he has been making a ton of meters, he bends the line back even when being tackled by guys much bigger than him. He also has pace and a great change of direction. The way he was changing direction and making big metres in open space today on a few occasions was really impressive.

I called him out for coming in to much in d but it doesn’t seem to be the case after a few more looks, he had some tough choices and got most right.
He seems to have a tough to tackle running style and changes pace and direction at the right time. Not many bounce out of Tedescos tackles.

 

[MrBlack]

We’re relevant again now. Just outside the eight.

Bye and a depleted souths in the coming weeks.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Martin, Naden, Kenny and To’o.

How can you not love their energy and enthusiasm.

It’s been so good to see compared to what we were watching at the beginning of the season!

Have to give a mention to Mansour too, he has been enormous since being dropped... making metres for fun again.

I especially loved seeing To’o in a bit of broken field, he seems really light on his feet to go along with huge amounts of strength.
