Round 13 Vs The Bulldogs

[age.s]

Moylan didn't really get tested defensively tbh. The Dogs really were that bad. He handled most of his work well but there was one really bad miss (can't remember who it was on). He'll definitely need protection.

He will miss tackles. Fortunately he just needs to slow them down in the line.

Edwards is a better one on one defender.

The only bad miss he had was when Mansour shouldered him out of the way by accident. He had a few "normal for a half" misses.

Will need no more than most the other halves in the comp

Nah there was another one. It was late in the game. I'll have to re watch it though.

Yeah I'd say he'd be middle of the pack when compared to the rest of the NRL, maybe a bit below but something we'll just have to manage. I certainly wouldn't want him moved.

Cant be Maloney or Moses level bad.

I expect Thurston level bad at worst.

Don't know what has changed but Merrin has improved massively since the start of the year. 215m, 25 tackles, 1 line break, 5 tackle busts in 67 minutes, massive effort.

Since he got back from the Aus squad it seems

Only one game but Moylan looked very comfortable at 5/8. Kicking game needs some work but his passing was very nice and he seemed to be in the correct position all the time & running on to the ball.

This halves pairing could really be something.

 

[GongPanther]

Moylan to 5/8 has been a masterstroke by Griffin. I don't know why we didn't think of it earlier.

He's been saving it as a shock weapon tactic.

Prepare for Moylan to go back to the fullback role when Carty comes back,then until the semis,we'll surprise whoever again.

For this afternoon at least.....it was fun again to be a Panthers fan.

 

[Doomednow]

Moylan one on one tackled Kasiano. I think can move past the defense argument.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Can't remember if it was the first error the Dogs made but I remember Moylan shooting out of the line and putting a shot on a Dogs player early and forcing an error. I think it was the one that lead to CHN's try.

He has more in him.

He really shifted a gear after Origin ended last year. His form from the Broncos game onwards was outstanding. We will need to see that again if we are serious.

I think it was on Brenko Lee.

On rewatch the dogs were horrendous. Frawley was our best. A perfect ease in for us. Attacking last play options should be our focus this week, even though we scored off a lot of them it was through arse rather than good management.

 

[tripster]

As a Panthers fan I always enjoy wins like that because they are rare for us. I also particularly enjoy beating the Dogs.

The new halves combination also worked really well, and Rein was also great. If Rein keeps playing like that it will be a headache for Hook once Wallace comes back.

However, keeping it in perspective, the Dogs were missing James Graham (Captain and English international), Brett
Morris (NSW Origin Centre) and Klemmer and Jackson were backing up from a massive game on Wednesday night and clearly looked worse for wear. I think the Dogs would have struggled to beat anyone today, but I also don't think many other teams would have flogged them like we did.

You make you're own arse.

Good enough to put yourself in a position to capitalise on the others side's mistakes?...that's called sport.

Not the Panthers fault they had injuries and had mistakes in their game,as much as when Canterbury beat us in that semi-final in 2014,when we made our fair share of errors.They weren't to blame for what happened then.

Give the boys some credit. They played like a genuine top 8 team. It's rediculous people are making it seem like the dogs just gave it to us.
