Round 8 vs. North Queensland Cowboys @Townsville

[Kilkenny]

Maybe having Casey Badger as ref might be a good thing.

 

[Girds89]

Not suprised.

Moses was on one arm last week.

Same shoulder which has caused him issues for a long time i believe.

Geyer needs to step up. I know its only game 2 but he needs to show something.

If im ivan i start henry with fish. Eiso and smith off the pine.

Boys need to get it done. No two ways about it.

They do, it would be nice, but the Cows are hugely tough opponents up there, even tougher off the back of a poor performance.

They will be much tougher up there, but we did beat Roosters away with this same forward pack (albeit Leota but Fish out) so that rules each other out. Marto went off after 2 mins aswell. We can win, key is starting very well & playing from in front.

I don’t think Sorensen has put 2 consecutive games of footy this season so far. Is this niggle more than a minor strain?

We should still win

Updated NRL Teamlist: Round 8

Panthers coach Ivan Cleary has updated his squad for Saturday night's match against the Cowboys at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.

Personally, I'd have 14.Schneider or Alamoti in for Laurie, just feel they offer more in attack than laurie does without the downside of loose defence

Starting 13 even with Smith and Garner in is formidable. But bench is a little uncertain. Those 4 need to play their best game and bring impact. Agree re: Schneider - I think he should be #14.

 

[BossleyPanther]

Not confident today. Hopefully To'o 100th game and Nathan back would get us over the line. Townsville always hard. I don't know if Laurie on the bench is going to cut it today, I would prefer Alamoti for an extra man hit ups.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

tonight will be real tough.

 

[age.s]

Hard to believe Too has only played 100 games. Feels like he's been around forever.

 

[Old and Disgruntled]

tonight will be real tough.

Wasn't that long ago our NSW Cup side took this team to Golden Point.
I am confident, but not overly.

I'll admit I'm NEVER confident before a game. It's just me.
Scotty too hotty's injury appears to be ongoing. Hope Leota and Scotty are back soon.

It won't be a cruise though.

 

[Fangs]

Usual suspects should have big games.

Currently 30 degrees in Townsville. 75% humidity at kick off.

Alamoti in Turuva out

Alamoti in Turuva out

Who's on the wing?

 

[Iamback]

Alamoti in Turuva out

They don't say why Turuva is out either

 

[Iamback]

Alamoti named but surely May plays there

Some random on Facebook mentioned he's been carrying a knee issue

 

[PennyPanthers81]

Alamoti named but surely May plays there

All my digits crossed to see May on the wing again.
