Round 20 Vs Bulldogs.

[Jane Murray]

You're insufferable. I'm going to celebrate the minor premiership.

Likewise. You could have, and should have, ignored my comment.

That's good advice. Others have already said it and I should've listened sorry @ACTPanthers . You'll soon be talking to yourself here.

I know May has played a bit there. But Burton was unused off the bench earlier in the year. Whereas May always finds his way on the field and kills it. Its a different side with Burton playing 14 as we know he won't get a minute unless there is an injury.

These are the big games now. I have a feeling it will be Whare.

Also these references of May being a defensive weak link when he's statiscally a better defender than all centres used in the squad.

Our points difference of 299 is a club record, and the highest per game for any club since Parramatta 2001. The Storm could beat it if they win by 34 tomorrow.

Also unless I'm mistaken the first time we've scored over double the points we've conceded.

And finally, 37 is the greatest number of competition points we've achieved on the field. In 2003 we reached 40 but 4 of those were from byes.

Beautiful.

Pretty amazing in a shortened season. We could’ve ended up on 45 if Covid didn’t happen!

Four less rounds this year as well, you accounted for the byes. I truly believe if Nath wasn't suspended for the Parra and Newy games we would have be undefeated.

Any word on To’o? Didn’t look good unfortunately.

Ankle. Wait for scans.

I didn’t think it looked that bad, no ice or support needed when the trophy was handed out. Definitely twisted it a bit but fingers crossed he is good for next week, he was one of best today.

 

[kinghippo]

Another great performance, luai just keeps going to another level.
Naden was dangerous every touch, capewell looked really good too.
I am loving our brand of footy, so brutal in defence and a lot of fun in attack.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Winning the minor premiership is really underrated. Easy to say now, but even if we don’t go on to win the GF this has been a hell of a season. It should be remembered fondly no matter what happens in the next month.

Obviously we want to win the GF, and I’m confident we can. But seasons like this are pretty rare.

My only disappointment is that the players didn’t get to experience it in front of big crowds.

 

[GoldCoastPather]

Wow so proud of this team. Go get them Panthers

I honestly believe we will win the grand final.

Nathan played against Parra but it was his first game back.

Even more of a reason to of gotten Whare some match fitness today

He had no ice on it after the game... That hopefully is a good sign

I hope not. Whare played hardly any games during this period. He is to much of a risk injury wise.

 

[Fangs]

I understand the point. I just don't see starting May at centre.

Great utility, outstanding off the bench. A game changer. He must play.

Burton won't play a second from the bench. Unless there is an injury. Its a massive change from how our 17 operates. We essentially play 16 with Burton on the bench. I'm backing Whare to start.

Ivan is in my back pocket FYI.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Surely Laurie will play on the Wing.

If not, I go Whare in the Centres and Nado on the wing.

assuming Staines is unavailable.
