Round 14 vs the Raiders

[TheFrog]

Raiders are in the same boat as us. Much better than form so far suggests

They've been pissed on from a great height by the golden shower gods this year. It's surprising their fans aren't screaming blue murder over it.

 

[age.s]

Never heard of the golden shower gods. I'd have though it was code for Todd Carney.

I think Moylan will get a lot more traffic this week.

Yeah will be a good test for him. Edwards should get more high balls too

That's not much of a point mate you could say it about every comment in this thread.

Most of the comments are on us and things we can control. We have no control over the form of our opponents

We have no control over what the panthers do either, its exactly the same.

We don't. The coach and players can though with selections and actually playing decent footy

I do hope the rain holds off. If it does then I think we will get to see a pretty exciting game of football with plenty of points.

Some stats from the season so far:

Keep in mind we have played 1 less game than the Raiders. Interesting to see Penrith are breaking the line more often but its the Raiders who are busting more tackles and ultimately putting on the points.

The stat that stands out the most for me are the runs out of dummy-half.



Rapana and Hodgson are in the top 5 players in the NRL in that category. We need a big game from our middle forwards.

Some of the tackle breaks come from the Rapana run sideways breaking tackles before being tackled lol

Yeah and some come from him busting through the line.

Hes the form winger of the competition. Mansour could be on par with him if he played all season. But he goes from about the easiest oppobent to the hardest this week. Good yest for him.

Yeah I was taking the piss. He's their best and it will make for an interesting game. I imagine He'll run at Moylan a few times.

As I said earlier. Hodgson has been very quiet in recent weeks.

He's too classy to stay dorment for too long.

Panthers by 28

Never good to be playing a team desperate for a win and after 3 losses in a row he raiders will be desperate.

Where are you getting this 3 losses in a row guff?

If we had won last week it would have been our 3rd win in a row.

I mean we haven't been playing all that well sure, but not as bad as you make out.

 

[pantherpuddy]

Hopefully Kikau gets more than 9 mins today. That is just a waste for someone who is full of impact and energy

Must have been confusing you with the Bulldogs.

There's honestly not much between us this year... both have been disappointing and really nowhere near our potential.

The teams that lit up the second half of the season last year have not made an appearance yet.

 

[OldPanther]

After seeing TMM in reserves a few times this year he hasn't really been that great. Not surprised he isn't back in the team.

Moylan is the better half and Edwards the better prospect. Signing him was always a strange move

He needs to look at other clubs.

In fairness, last week he made 1 error & rushed out of the line twice (and missed) which created two opportunities for the Dogs. I assume that's why he only got 9 minutes & it wouldn't surprise me if he's 18th man this week.

In saying that, i'd definitely be giving him more time.

My mistake I dunno where I pulled that from.
