Round 9 Vs Broncos

[Luke Bowden]

What MX posted.

Patea hasn't been named in cup. Casey has. Makes the most sense.
Garner is plugging a problem for us this week. We have other edge options if Sorro gets suspended.

You don't drop someone knowing you may have to recall them, name them in reserve grade, then recall them a day later. That would be unprofessional.

As long as Patea isn’t playing on an edge.

 

[South Coast Panther]

Has Kepaoa left the panthers? Where to?

 

[Oldpanther86]

Scotty no luck at judiciary will miss three games.

This is good for us. No hate to him but it'll force a bit of a look at other options especially Garner who's the better defender and maybe Patea will get a look on the bench.

With Papali’i, Garner, the ghost of Martin he won't need to.

Not confirmed yet. But he was spotted at the Tigers.
He is not named in anywhere this week.

Garner is in the centres and Paps isn’t a 80min player. We’ll need edge cover on the bench which would be three middles and TT.

Mav is edge cover. He can do a safe 20 minutes.

Ahh yes, I forgot Mav was on the bench.

All Good

Playing in Pink this week, might be a good omen.

Interesting, home side playing in away strip. Maybe Ivan will talk of some of the great backs to the wall performances in the pink strip especially at this ground (Storm '21 PF). It's a deliberate strategy for sure. Ivan not giving up.

 

[Stinkfinger]

Tago says hello,

Tago has runs on the board and has been playing decently.

 

[Stinkfinger]

Well, we looked like Fools for contesting it then?

Got to have your scapegoats.

Ahh Storm PF in 21.

Close to the most exciting game of football I've ever watched. I enjoyed that win more than the grand final in 21.

Been in first grade for years and only regressing really.
Although last week he did finally show something

Weird to think that if George Jennings could catch the whole four peat may never have started.

Critta also had his best defensive play in Penrith colours in holding up Olam who looked odds on to score (and he had an amazimg play in each of the 2021 finals wins).

Melbourne 2021 is the best team outside of Penrith during any of the premiership years.

Broncos 2023 had an amazing squad held back by the coach and his nepo baby.

The context above all matters.

Losing week 1 of the finals. Had many of us in complete meltdown. Then that crazy 8-6 win over Parramatta. All signs pointed to a Storm win in the PF.

And we were coming out of lockdown. So you had a bunch of people screaming at their TVs louder than usual. I could hear neighbours down the road watching the game. It was quite intense the week before vs Parra but the Storm game just took it to another level.

And yes they were an amazing Team. Their current spine plus Brandon Smith and Nicho Hynes when they were flying.

 

[John Hamblin]

Marto Moses and co got up for the Vegas game just like they do for other big games. Do they see Magic Round as a big game?

Didn't last year against the Wahs.

 

[Fangs]

Didn't last year against the Wahs.

We were in second place before Magic round last year.

Just give them a look at our ladder position. We are dead last and the worst team in the comp. If that doesn't fire them up nothing well.

Didnt half the team have gastro that day? Hence Coles infamous moment on camera.
