Round 5 vs the Raiders

[Girds89]

Burton has grown so much since that height for his wiki was taken. Look at how tall he is on the field. The only guys he isn't bit taller than in the team are Yeo, Kikau and Eisenhuth.

Off panthers website from this year.

Burton is the depth player this year whether people like it or not.

This. He should move not others once Origin starts he will be in the halves.

It makes no sense to move Crichton to the right. Dropping Mom
To only move it back once Burton is in the halves.

One of Burton of Mom have to be dropped soon enough when Edwards is back, I see no reason why you wouldn’t do it now to move Crichton out of FB.

FB is too important a position to leave with someone who’s obviously really struggling with it.

This time last year we had four wins, and I draw. We were in five spot. On the ladder we had 102 for, and 72 against points. This year, we sit in our right first position. We have recorded no loses. We have 140 for, and 26 against. People reckoned that we will struggle without Trent Barrett, I wonder if they are enjoying their humble pie?

A 28-5 average. Thing is, we are yet to hit our peak. And once we do, it'll be quite a side.

By so doing you destroy a player's confidence and also leave him with a stigma of having failed at fullback, as well as needing to drop someone or play someone out of position. Far better to assist him to overcome his issues at the back on the training paddock, especially since we don't have a hard game before Dyl is due back.

No Brainer Burton. He is the one that is going to be moved during Origin and he can only play left and the Kikau, Luai/Crichton side is very good.

Also what has Burton done that Crichton won't do in that position? Luai is a freak and gets guys into gaps

I remember a Roy Masters article about the 1991 Panthers, written mid-season. That side also was trampling opponents with seeming ease while not appearing to be at their best.

It began along the lines of "at the end of the M4 (which started at Emu Plains in those days) sits a prime mover called the Penrith Panthers. At the moment it is just idling. Fans of opposing clubs fear that it will soon get moving. Fans of the Panthers fear that it won't."

It is now history that the prime mover didn't really get moving until the final 40 minutes of the season.

Good points.

As someone else mentioned though, what if Edwards goes down right before the finals? Crichton at fullback looks like too much of a project to me right now, I think it’s likely Staines would be able to come up to speed in the position a lot quicker.

Sign him up!

Edit: when he talks about how we isolate fullbacks by kicking early, that’s what teams would do to Charlie if he was back there, kick early chase hard and it’s almost always going to end in a dominant tackle if the kicks good. A year or two on the wing to learn how to deal with that will help him a lot imo.

Seibs almost sounding like a coach here.

Might make a good assistant.

Keep him at newy, they seem to be stacking up injuries,..... we dont want that here, or that knife he holds behind the coaches he hangs around

Salty skipper

I’m told that Canberra skipper Jarrod Croker was extremely salty after last week’s loss to Penrith and the crowd’s mock of the Viking Clap. So much so that some of his thoughts and comments were so ‘out there’, that at least one journalist refused to print them.

Yes this got posted by betcats on the "penrith" hate thread going on in the main threads section..

Ryan James can't remember how to say a welcome speech, but can knock a helpless player in the head off the ball...
What an absolute c###!

Please, do not describe Ryan James as a part of a females anatomy. Countries are useful, Ryan James is not.

Never leave the Panther section but read through that thread. No wonder the Crichton debate got some so rattled that looked like a chore to be apart of.

Also funny raiders fans bagging us for losing the gf. If that's all that matters Tigers won more recently than Raiders and are therefore the superior team.

Nice to read some common sense around the rubbish put out by the DT journos.

It was and remains a storm in a tea cup.

Of the current top four - top six sides we are clearly the most popular amongst the impartial fans.

I think it might be our young enthusiasm in the squad
