Norman to Broncos or Cowboys for the rest of the season, Bird to 6. One down Hunt to go.

Just watching Panthers smack the Bulldogs.

Panthers have a great side and will there at the pointy end of the season.

Bulldogs have made me feel even more confident. They really suck.

Dragons by 18
Panthers beat Bulldogs in last round in 2020 by 42-0, then beat Cowboys 24-0 last week and now Bulldogs again 28-0. First team to do this in consecutive regular round games in a row since 1919 as reported by Foxsports News. I know that they have played bottom of the ladder teams, which will be contesting the wooden spoon with the Broncs, but still all in all a very good effort and certainly looks like the Panthers will be on track to be in the Grand Final again.

Yep dramatic..but after the last 7 years under McMisfire & Ors and what i have witnessed it is going to take time to get confidence back, so ATM never confident, just hopeful
Mrs Possm cam up to me this morning and said the score tonight will be Dragons 20 and Cowboys 8. I said how did you come up with that and she said;

'You know how you have been going on about the halves, I have a feeling that Griffin will act if things aren't going right in the first half. Dufty to 6, William to 2, Ramsey to 1 and Norman dropped to the bench.'

Mrs Possm thinks that Dufty will be a sensation at 6 providing Bird and Sims will cover for him in defence.

Love Mrs Possm on Duff!

Surely the jury’s been out on Norman/Hunt for a while now?

And Williame is not consistent 1st grade material

- and Hunt’s not a captain.

Also Bird should’ve been eased in off the bench, to ensure his protection (as was mooted all offseason)

We currently would’ve been better off with him off the bench at lock IMO

But Hook’s got the forwards going better BLM01 - and that’s a huge positive, so perhaps I’m being a bit harsh as you say.

I’d’ve definitely started Max at 3 & Duff at 6 (where he often trained in the offseason.

I’d’ve also dumped Hunt for Sullivan (had he been available)
straight up.

To me Hunt has been another Milford in both inconsistency & being off with the fairies

- and they both seem to me to be the most obvious common denominators in let’s say, ‘poor outcomes’ longterm

How good is Kikau too?
Sims should watch this kid play and try to learn a few things.
And he’s only 25!
Yeah they are both good, Kikau is a freak on his day but has the odd shocker in him like the GF, if he could narrow the gap between his best and worst game and increase his minutes he would be probably the best second rower in the comp. Currently id have Crichton over him as an all round player. Both are leagues ahead of any of our back rowers though.
