C'mon Peach, prove them wrong!

Whoever did the media release can't count then.

[ColdWetPanther]

Wikipedia, Rugby League Project and David Middletown have him at 238 games.
Where is 246 from?

Some of Gower’s games are counted twice. The GF for his winners speech, the game against St George when he turned around and kicked it dead from the scrum giving them a couple of plays off the resultant drop-out….

I loved him but he had a brain explosion in him!!

 

[jane the pain]

Yeo to be the 8th player to play 200 games for the Panthers.
Any guesses ( no googling ) on who the other 7 are?
I was thinking Girdler, Mansour and Brandy but I'm struggling to guess who they are.

Gower, Carter, Lewis, Simmonds, Alexander, Girdler, Tony P and Izzard.

I know he's been a bit of a meme that past few years, but Peachey was one of my favorite Panthers during his time here and I'm stoked to see him in our colours again.

I may feel different at 7.50ish Friday evening, but for I'm just going to keep everything crossed that there's a bit of that fire left in him.

Happy for soro to get a crack on an edge.

Can't expect much given he's only ever filled in there for us an majority of his time has been spent in the middle..

Hope he shows some potential.

Given garners played on an edge his whole career and has just been avg so far I'm happy for soro to get a bit of time there.

Doesn't really need to change much from how he plays in the middle. Just run good hard strong runs of luais hip.

Will probs take him a bit to get his timing etc but I think he has the potential to be dangerous on an edge if he can get it right.

Defence will be were he is tested given he really hasn't played much there.

Happy for peach to get a crack on the bench.

The club recalculated around the 50th anniversary. For some players they didn't always count games off the bench. I think mainly the odd games in the 70s and 80s. Mainly players that played a full game in reserve grade and then bobbed up on the FG bench for limited time.
As a result of combing the team sheets some players appearances went up. Cartwright and Sheens went up over 10 games each after they retired. Alexander, Carter and Geyer a couple of games.
Geoff Gerard went up enough to register 100 games for the club.
They even found a few players they hadn't realised had played FG

Soro is an out and out middle at this stage in his career imo

If peachy is going to fill in at hooker he should be told run a lot.The raiders where very lazy around the play the ball and got caught out a few times

Some even count the 6 games he played in the 1997 World Club. Challenge.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Sorro on the edge, this is his to lose now. I like the bench.

No way he keeps it over Martin and Hoskings

 

[Whino]

No Wighton for them. No excuses for us. We should register a good win.

Look at our bench it will be a close game

Look at our bench it will be a close game

Shouldn't be, Canberra were woeful last week. They are well known to only play half a game.

Ewwwww Peachey. Prove me wrong please

Lack of other options really

We are looking for an explosive burst that is all. The 20 mins that Salmon should be playing

 

[Exsilium]

Given we lack creativity, adding Peach is a worthwhile experiment. He's not his old dynamic self but he knows how to find a hole.

Lets see how it pans out.

Well he can't pass a football from hooker so I guess he will have to run
