Round 7 Vs The Roosters

[Girds89]

This is possibly the biggest challenge of ivans career as a coach.

How he navigates this period will define his legacy imo.

If we crash and burn and miss the 8 it will hurt his long term reputation as one of the great coaches.

If he can somehow turn our season around from here he will go down as one of the best ever.

I have faith in him.

 

[Girds89]

He's been terrible for a LONG time

Youve been blaming him for a long time for things that arent all his fault.

He is well below his best.. but nath and marto need to be better in defence. Thats a fact

I too think it's a big challenge. Biggest since 2019 with off-field turmoil.

Long-term reputation? If we do miss the 8 then in the long run this season will be forgotten. We are a huge threat in 2026 already. Then the new stadium in 2027? We are going to dominate this entire decade.

Name a coach who made 5 grand finals in a row and won 4. It's a short list. He is just in that echelon now and can't be removed.

Bellamy has his team up every year since he started. With rosters well below ours.

With our sqaud we should be top 4 this year imo.

I dont care about the losses in players. We should be doing better.

We have too many star players not delivering.

Martin
Leota
Tago

Have all been very poor.

Others like cleary and edwards havent been good.

Lindsay smith shouldve grown a leg this year but looks to have gone backwards.

Papali hasnt come in with any effect.

I trust ivan and the squad.

But its been very underwhelming and they need to flick the go switch this week

Bellamy has never achieved what Ivan did though. That is the story here.

Martin/Leota isn't a surprise it's kind of normal to me. Tago I'm not sure. Looks like confidence to me.

Smith needs some time he will be good. Likewise Papali'i I believe. Seen them off the ball this year doing the right things. It's not through lack of effort by end of year I'm sure they fire.

Hope your right mate.

I have faith in ivan but he does some weird things sometimes.

Were we terrible last week or were the dolphins very good???

We were terrible.

No coach is perfect. I don't think he gets team selections and tactical decisions right all the time. But as a campaign guy he is up with the best. He views this as year of football. Very confident in him and our team to turn it around.

Today is the day of the Panther!!! The “comeback” starts today. Up the Panthers, fry those chooks.

$55 for a GA ticket at SFS?

I got them for $32 last year as part of a Monday deal.

 

[Chins]

$55 seems very reasonable

 

[Fangs]

$55 seems very reasonable

I just checked my emails.

2023 - $35
2024 - $32 (Monday special)

I think a $20 hike is a bit much. How much is my beer going to cost?

 

[Fangs]

I looked ahead. Allianz Roosters v Raiders is $40 on presale. So they must be hiking the price if you buy same day.

 

[Whino]

Angus out of tonight's match.

 

[Chins]

Angus out of tonight's match.

That's not good news for Marto's performance

 

[PennyPanthers81]

Angus out of tonight's match.

Judging by our last performances against weakened sides, Roosters by 20

 

[Fangs]

Get fired up.

We were embarrassed in round 2. It cannot happen again.

 

[PennyPanthers81]

Here we go. Good luck Panthers fans

 

[The Realist]

Edwards with an awful awful start.

 

[Munky]

Dyl partying like it's 2019
