The Panthers best iteration was when Api was in the team.
But also unsustainable under the cap, which is why he was the first spine player to be let go to make space for upgrades to Edwards, Luai and Cleary.
The Panthers have been the benefactors of a very weak competition that has allowed them to win 4 on the trot and probably 5 or even 6 looking at the standard of or lack there of of everyone else.
It’s irrelevant to why they replaced a dangerous attacking hooker with a defensive plodder. They showed their priorities under the cap with that move.

Sometimes clubs need to fill a vacuum of experience with an older player.

A bit like when Melbourne signed this guy at age 33.



A player like RCG?

A weak Competition that Parra couldn’t get near winning. Good one. You can only play who’s in front of you.

Yes, you can only play what’s in front of you. And what’s been in front of the Panthers has been considerably weaker the last couple of years. They did do well against the teams who were actually competitive though, such as the Storm this year.

I wouldn’t get upset about people saying you’ve won weak comps. I’d love to win against a weak comp.
