Round 9 vs the Sharks

[Whino]

About time we put a side to the sword.

Charlie Staines is the first ever Panther to score a hat trick on debut.

 

[mxlegend99]

Whare. 0 tries. 0 try assists. 0 linebreaks. 75% tackle rate. His winger scores like 3 tries all year.

Take him out. A rookie winger has 4 on debut

 

[Fangs]

Well done Staines, brilliant debut. How on earth do you demote him after that?

 

[herbert henry1908]

Charlie Staines is the first player to score 4 tries on debut since 2008

What an incredible debut in a really incredible performance!

I’m loving how tight the current group of players look, they all seem to have very strong relationships and are ready to do whatever for each other out there.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Nice game for the for & against.

 

[kinghippo]

That was fun.
Great to see some tries through the hands and on the right side. Naden looked great in attack, lenui very strong, Staines showed what a bit of pace can do.

Could this be the first game that everyone on here is happy.Any doubts anyone had about if we could go all the way where answered today
Guess what we still will improve from here.The young kids will grow the more they learn
Up the panthers

 

[betcats]

f**k me we got some talent

 

[Flashstep]

We were a little sloppy at times but our outside backs had an absolute field day today which was great to see. Staines with the perfect debut and Edwards has been very impressive since coming back into the side. A more creative spine with Api and Luai into the mix has given him more space and he has taken full advantage of it this season.

 

[age.s]

Absolutely white hot. Haven't burned a team like that in ages. Staines was unreal but pretty much everyone was on fire. Outstanding performance.

Hype levels just keep getting higher.

Good old Jordan Atkins, I think Staines will be around for a bit longer than he was.

 

[panthersam]

With a bit more match fitness under his belt, Spencer looks like he could add a real spark as an impact prop coming off the bench

Leniu looks very good.

 

[soc123_au]

Very enjoyable game apart from the 10 minutes before half time. Naden & Crichton are making a hell of a difference in attack. Defence will still need a lot of work for the outside backs though, but they are looking so good with the ball. Nadens pass for Staines 4th try was Girdleresque.
Lastly Dylan Edwards take a bow. f**k he played well. Could have easily scored himself on Charlies 2nd, but showed what a team player he is giving it to the debutant.

 

[WestyLife]

Our best back 5 right now is this without question:

1. Edwards
2. To'o
3. Crichton
4. Naden
5. Staines

No Steve Martin the great ball running hooker scored three on debut versus the North Syd ney Bears

Still have concerns about Naden’s defence in the centres, but overall he’s better than Whare.

Okay, I was going off Wally’s tweet. He’s the stats guy for fox sports



Edit: Martin scored 3 in his first starting match, not technically on debut.
