Round 25 v Canberra

[Fangs]

As it says.

Got a few questions to answer. Cleary 99.9% out you'd think. Even with a miracle recovery you don't take him to Canberra.

I'm no fan at all of the changes happening on the left side. We need to build some continuity out there. Laurie's position is a big question. If he moves into the halves it's yet another change on that side.

Raiders coming off a Townsville trip which helps a bit.

Letoa should be told he's playing for his Panthers career in the next month.

Whole pack needs to lift. Even with some guys out I want more intent. Canberra have a good pack too so we can't phone it in too much.

Mainly though I want a disciplined performance. Two weeks in a row our starts have been appalling and it's been a recurring theme this year.

He's meant to be a leader and he's played like a little bitch all year

Nowhere near his best last night but it's the same story for a lot of players.

He has shown flashes this year. Keep your powder dry his best needs to come in a month.

Moses will be alright - he can play below par now if beast mode comes out in the finals

everyone needs a good kick up the bum - this loss to Melbourne does that.

everyone will be up for Canberra - is is the toughest of our last 3 remaining regular season games.

The big thing is getting free flowing end to end football. Do that they beat anyone. The constant stoppages and field position gifts are what's had them looking like 70% of their potential all year. I'd even back them with the fill ins if they can be discipline.

If we can somehow get Nathan back on the field we'll need a better defender than Tago next to him that's for sure. Ivan either does something crazy like swap Luai to the right or bite the bullet and drop Tago. Sack up Ivan it's time to make some big calls

100%. Melb dont allow it they put hands in places I wouldnt like my dog touch to slow it down. They are a disgrace to Rugby League.

Apparently 4 weeks for Nathan. Where do we hide him?

I'm more talking about Panthers discipline. They can't control what the other team get up to.

That's just not true. Mid-season he was beasting regularly. He has dropped off in the last 3 weeks or so though.

Confirmed or rumoured?

 

[Black Diamond]

Confirmed or rumoured?

Confirmed by club, back for finals.

Confirmed by club, back for finals.

Great news.

We are both unlucky and lucky at the same time. When our guys get injured they always seem to come back exactly when they need to.

 

[Fangs]

Geyer was good against Melbourne. Held his own and zero errors.

Start him again with Martin next week. He stays in until a starting backrower replaces him. Let the props be props.

He can't do 80 mins. Ivan needs to pull the trigger with Asu or someone

He is a seat warmer but if injuries strike he might be back starting late in the year. He managed 80 last night. I don't have an issue backing him again.

I'm all about Laurie right now. He appears to be the first choice winger (Or maybe its Alamoti) but now Cleary is gone and we need a 6.

If we are serious about Laurie starting wing he needs to stay there.

I love Laurie, but wing isn't his go. Not in our system anyway. I'd be putting him at 6.
