Semi Final week 1 Vs Manly

[tripster]

Sounds ok by me. Manly we ready for RCG last week. I wouldn't be surprised if he went back to the bench.

I hope he does go back to the bench. It has proved to be a successful formula. Leota or JFH can soak up the opening barrage.

I also feel for Tim Browne. I know he doesn't get a lot of love on here but he's been solid for us for a long while - he'll never be a star but he always puts the effort in and I have never seen him have a howler. He also has plenty of finals experience from the Dogs which might be missed in this game.

No real need with Yeo and CHN in the side

I would just prefer to not have to move the backline around so much, only changing one position would be less disruptive.

Our forwards are complete peahearts, can't use a bench spot on a back in case an injury happens

Would love to play Brisbane the way they are playing tonight. Their defence is absolutely pathetic - 18 missed tackles after 18 minutes.

Can anyone tell me what time the NYC starts?

5pm

Bryce should start for CHN. Bryce played well last week and needs 80mins

Really? I reckon Carty has offered nothing since returning

So they are defending the way we do then?

 

[OldPanther]

So we win and play Horse. Could be worse.

He needs to be told when he can unleash. In the past its been far too often but with no Moylan and Cleary offering sweet f**k all he needs to try his hand for us to be a threat

You clearly missed his flick pass for our 2nd try last week. 2 missed tackles in 53mins much better. Merrin to prop him to lock with a bench of Katoa. RCG. JFH and Kikau is best we have

 

[PenrithPanther45]

CHN is a very good runner of the ball, especially when put through holes. But as seen last week against Manly for instance, he is obviously not as effective against strong defensive sides. This is where Cartwright's natural ability is a good thing to have.

 

[OldPanther]

The family is on the bus and ready for tonight.

Up the mighty Panthers, REEEEOOOOW!

Watching Storm vs. Eels: so that's what effective attacking set pieces in the opposition 20 looks like.

 

[OldPanther]

Matty showed up to the game. Saying hi to fans and looking genuinely positive.

I smell an upset

Lashed out for seats on the halfway line, jersey on, carn boys!

he is obviously not as effective against strong defensive sides.

Manly have conceded 30+ seven times this year, five of them against bottom 8 sides. They are not a strong defensive side.

 

[Pugzley]

Revenge!!!!
