[OldPanther]

Let's hope Ciro the undefeated can get some improvement out of them this week.

It's round 23 oops.

I'm comming down for this game. Booked my tickets last night on Countrylink. I could do the city rail thing, but this way is a nicer trip.

Daz how many games on Saturday ?

My daughter and son hopefully will be with me too.

Getting just a tad excited.

Finally some luck goes our way...That with the Hetherington suspension. Lets hope things are turning around

I understand why you'd play more expansive against certain teams but we'd dominate the Knights up the middle. Hook's methods only work when you dominate the middle and obviously there's no chance we're gonna dominate all the teams in the finals up the middle without exception. But Knights have a small pack, just rolling up field is a viable option against them.

That with the Hetherington suspension.

4th or 5th time this year?

 

[herbert henry1908]

Good opportunity to pad our F/A, could be vital for a top 4 spot.

no ones talking about this but it's Peachey's last game at Panthers Stadium in panthers colours

Well he'd better go out with a hattrick of tries and a big win.

Hope he gets a send off.

A good solid week of training with the new coach, the bullshit has slowly died down and off the back of a win..

I can see us coming out and finally putting on a decent score and game..

Fingers crossed Maloney is rested

Tamou back this week or still injured? if Tamou is out, im assuming Ellis would come in to get sin binned this week after the refs give a warning?

According to this Tamou is a strong chance to return.

Jarome Luai, Dylan Edwards, Sam McKendry are all done for the season, Peter Wallace is now part of the coaching staff and Tim Browne has been forced into retirement, but the concern for Penrith will be James Maloney. He’ll have scans on his knee to determine the severity of an injury he suffered in the Panthers’ win – though he did return to the field. James Tamou is also a strong chance of playing in round 23.

James Maloney to have scans Monday on knee injury suffered right on HT yesterday. Concern for MCL sprain as players fell on outside/back of leg, ACL slight concern but cleared by medical staff (very accurate). Coming out for 2H his knee strapping was for medial knee (MCL) pic.twitter.com/5RE2OdEenI

Il be happy with a solid win cemented by the 70th minute this week. Don't care about it being a huge win.

Il settle for winning by 30 this week. 40 next week and ending Storms season with a magical 50 points. I think that's reasonable.

 

[Tronald Crump]

Just win you bastards I am sick off getting my blood pressure up with 10 to go.

 

[MrBlack]

Rest Maloney
May to 6
Egan to the bench
Tamau in for Hetherington

 

[mxlegend99]

Rumours are Maloney is to finally be rested. If we win this game without him I think we should push for a 2 week rest.

Then unleash him against Storm. Or hell maybe even bench him next week and keep his minutes down.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Maloney Grade 2 MCL - out indefinitely.
