Round 2 3Vs Knights Saturday 18th August 3pm Panthers Stadium

[tripster]

It has gone from being windy to absolutely blowing a gale out here.

When we have the wind at our back Cleary will need to kick low to ensure the ball doesn’t end up on the cricket field

The back 3 are in for a test in this gale

 

[franklin2323]

Would not dislike Martin coming straight I'm for a whirl.
Agree we need to get this game in hand earlier and then give big minutes to CHN, Egan and Ellis/Martin.

I rate Martin higher than Ellis and Hetherington. Was hoping he'd get a game

 

[tripster]

It is going to be hard for us to throw the ball around a lot today - this wind is crazy.

There is also some storm clouds brewing in the distance.

We will need to play a low risk style today or we are going to be dropping the ball left, right and centre.

Merrin in for Tamou, CHN starts with Ellis on the bench and Yeo moving to lock I assume.

 

[unKwn]

merrin to start prop, Yeo to lock, chn to second row

 

[unKwn]

this keighran guy is good

 

[tripster]

Crowd is surprisingly small. Unless there is a surge in the last 30 minutes before kick off it is going to be a disappointing crowd for our last home game of the year.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

No patience whatsoever.

 

[Panther Pete]

I know its early but I hate to think what’s going to happen when we come up against a decent team.

 

[Frankus]

Haha. Geez we look good under Ciraldo.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

I can understand that the players are excited to be given more freedom now that Griffin is gone, but what the hell do they think they are doing trying to throw the ball around in their own 30? Terrible hands and no game management at all.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

I know its early but I hate to think what’s going to happen when we come up against a decent team.

We have no chance against the Roosters, Storm or Sharks.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Haha. Geez we look good under Ciraldo.

It's mostly the players being dumb so far. Pushing passes when no needed or running into touch last week.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Too easy.

 

[mxlegend99]

Haha. Geez we look good under Ciraldo.

We look to have the exact same issues. Style is different but we havent fixed discipline.

I guess that takes more than a week to fix.

JFC

I’m lost for words about our slow starts

 

[mxlegend99]

Ciro will hand his resignation in after this. No normal human could put up with this stress
