Round 6 Vs titans

[Sime_11]

we worry about tomorrows game first before next week. The titans will be a stern test.

I expect RCG to walk off field the best forward tomorrow.

Could have an easy game next week.

Like the Bulldogs trial, huh?

Not quiet that easy but we could be up against a reserve grade forward pack. Sharks 4 best forwards could be missing.

With 2 points on the line there are no excuses. Our equivalents would be us missing RCG, Merrin, Yeo and Kikau/CHN.which would require a miracle to overcome.

Remember when we played their reserve grade side during origin a couple of years ago and got tuned up?

The debut game of Dylan Edwards and the last first grade game of Will Smith for us. Hardaker at fullback and Cartwright at 5/8. Cleary running the show at 18. We were just as disrupted as them. Lewis, Barba, Holmes, Ennis, Tagataese, Feki, Prior, some reserve grade side.

Sure do. Those kind of lossss are just part and parcel of being a Panther’s fan...

It's always the same. Our disrupted squad is forgotten and everyone acts like we were at full strength when talking about the opposition.

I think we tanked that game , master stroke to let everyone think we were rubbish.

 

[Pomoz]

Correct he did. Stacey Jones and Gene Ngamu were the Warriors halves.

Oh, that's a good spine. Even on one leg Brandy could spot a gap and create a try and jones was brilliant on his day. Took the Warriors to a GF.

We were worst hit than them always forgotten

Shit i remember that game now. Will Smith alone made it impossible to win. Some of the biggest derp moments at the worst possible times.

Im still not sure what position he was worst in.

 

[franklin2323]

I think we rotated our FB through the game. DWZ, Hardaker, Edwards and Smith all took turns in stuffing the game for us

 

[mxlegend99]

That game was also our first glimpse of Edwards attitude in defence. His effort to stop a certain try was something special.

He has an attitude defensively not many of our players have had over the years.

Edwards was good in that game. It was a defining moment we all took notice.

I have mixed feeling about Will Smith. I don’t for a second think he should be in any first grade team - his few moments of brilliance are far outweighed by the errors, lost balls and poor defence.

But I have no doubt that he was always giving 100% and had a burning desire to try to cement himself a regular first grade position.

More than anything his size lets him down - he probably could have been a decent first grade player 20 years ago but these days it just isn’t possible. So many of his errors come from being smashed in tackles and spilling the ball, or failing to catch passes because he is looking up at a player who is about to smash him, or simply getting run over the top of in defence.

He still made 2 errors though. Was an alround shocking game

 

[age.s]

Smith's issue wasn't his size (though it didn't help). His issue was his utter derp moments. Who could forget the cold drop on the goal line against the Sharks(?)? One of the great Carige moments.

He had an otherwise good game so I wasn't worried about his errors.

 

[OldPanther]

Griffin is very realistic here. Refreshing lack of cliche. He's highlighted our attack in particularly as being not good enough.

Shocking is probably a bit harsh. Certainly not up to his usual standard. Moylan was shocking last night.
