Season Review

[GongPanther]

The Panthers don't aim up against the raiders tomorrow night,and the way the Knights have found their new lease of life,I'd say we are more than a shoe-in for the spoon.

 

[Port Panther]

I think your right I have a feeling its coming our way ...sorry to say.

 

[mxlegend99]

Yep the spoon is ours for sure. The other teams decided to start winning games and we're not going to be getting anyone back to improve us. Raiders and Knights are better than us at the moment.

 

[umina panther]

Relax guys we still have Ricky Stuart on our side

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Yeah Wallace needs to be dropped

 

[roofromoz]

Currently 15th, but win tomorrow night and we're 10th.

 

[Doomednow]

What a difference a season makes.

 

[pantherz9103]

Does anyone get held accountable if we get the spoon or do we constantly avoid deserved criticism due to the injury excuse?..

 

[betcats]

No excuses for a spoon.

 

[broncos2010]

Oh hi boys you did not think I forgot about you?, how 12 months has changed the picture has it not? :lol::lol:

 

[Sime_11]

I hope the broncos go out in straight sets now....

 

[betcats]

Oh hi boys you did not think I forgot about you?, how 12 months has changed the picture has it not? :lol::lol:

It can change just as much again over the next 12 months but for now theres not much to say. f**k you.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

With Moylan at 5/8th next year a 6th place is achievable. Don't know about With Wallace though

 

[broncos2010]

It can change just as much again over the next 12 months but for now theres not much to say. f**k you.

You ok you keep praying for a miracle while I celebrate my team winning another premiership again this year.

I reckon the Panthers need a few more hard nosed players.

Idris loathes the life of an NRL celebrity, Soward is a confidence player, Simmons is a humble guy, Moylan is smiley etc.

A club requires the player that is able to think on their feet, who will attempt to do something to change the momentum of a contest, a player that will rough up an opponent if they set upon the half and a team that won't be intimidated by an arrogant opponent.

The good teams need backbone.

If the Panthers had held onto Lewis, Graham, Jennings, Austin and Coote this team would have that mental edge.

The Panthers at the moment appear a bit too meek.

 

[Doomednow]

I just think we had given up a while back. No mental fortitude this year. Maybe the injury toll wore us down but it just looked like the players' hearts and heads aren't in the game. This was probably compounded when Cleary admitted our season was over 2 or 3 rounds back. We have some decent players dropping the ball, making rookie mistakes, or just phoning it in.

We handled the injuries last year but it must have been mentally exhausting. We weathered them in the years prior but a new attitude was in the team last year, you could see them clicking. This year the toll was even worse, taking out some influential players for long periods who were likely most responsible for the attitude last year. Must be hard to stick it out when it seems like the universe has just decided you won't be winning everything. We were getting significant injuries every week for most of the season.

All these teams with winning attitudes and team cohesion, how often do they have to deal with this kind of luck? Easy to be positive and play like you want it when you're not getting constantly shat on (year after year) by fate. That's not even considering the changes every week f**king with team cohesion and combination development.

Some things need to be fixed at the club but start with less injuries and most problems will begin to evaporate.

I think the big difference with you guys is last year you had a lot of old heads who didn't drop their heads when they faced some adversity. This year you have relied heavily on young guys who aren't ready or up to first grade standard. Impressionable youngsters drop their heads and think it is the end of the world.

 

[Thirsty Panther]

Souths season is in danger with Inglis out, Bulldogs are missing 1 of their 3 halves everyone worried that the Roosters have 2 big name players out and will struggle in the finals.

Here is a team made up from our currently injured players ( from news.com.au)

INJURED PANTHERS 13: 1 Matt Moylan, 2 George Jennings, 3 Dean Whare, 4 Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, 5 Robert Jennings, 6 Jamie Soward, 7 Peter Wallace, 8 Brent Kite, 9 Isaac John, 10 Nigel Plum, 11 Bryce Cartwright, 12 Jamal Idris, 13 Elijah Taylor.

You can't make the finals without first grade players being on the paddock.

 

[franklin2323]

Seems to me we just expected we'd come good rather then do things to get us getting momentum.

Starting the year with 6 or so with no pre season didn't help neither did poorly managing a few injured players. Our seniors players have been as bad as the young guys with errors. look at Seg's miss for the 1st try on Monday as an example.

Atleast all will be back when training starts again in November really no excuse next year.
