Round 13 v Penrith Panthers (Match Thread)

[Magpies Forever]

Yep, I agree. However, it's in the players hands. If they want to continue they have to pull their finger out and start performing or they're out. Supposed stars or not we can longer afford to carry loafers, precious egos or those not capable.

I'd give them all one chance, behind a decent pack. Hopefully Potter can construct one for next year.

No excuses then, if they fail, they can leave.

I don't think we need a broom. I think Potter like Sheens will have to get rid of some players but those players are simply guys that aren't good footballers or on too much money for what they offer us.

One quality backrower would make a difference but I don't like buying players because it can lead to situations like Blair. But quality if we can but otherwise leave it as is.

I basically agree with MU regarding get a good pack and then reassess however I don't think the pack is that bad. Its just we have a small backrow with little impact. If Blair stays at prop and if some of the other players step up and start running hard we are going to be in a much better situation.

Robbie Farah officially ruled out for 2-3 weeks. Masada Iosefa will be the replacement starting hooker

Need to get a Nigel Plum or Sam Tagatese in the back row, someone inexpensive and hard hitting

I've watched the game twice now and its adamantly clear to me that Marshall's kicking game was possibly the worst I've seen from him in his career.

The second half defence was possibly the best this side has defended since 2011.

No spanking was involved, although we pretty much pulled their pants down in public haha.

Great win by the Tigers!
