Team vs Panthers - Rd1 Vegas

[ragzouken]

Have any of the clearys Edwards etc big hitters played any games etc. Are they underdone?

They have not, but I’m sure they will click into gear early, don’t think we do them through the middle they are too seasoned for that, they are not the titans

I'm pissed off that there has only been one player stink in the Vegas Hotels. Footy trips are just not the same anymore.

Should of been at least three "incidents" by now.

Question from the floor without notice: Is there a Racecourse Hotel in Vegas? If not, why not.

Hard to pick

don’t wanna tip Penrith but Nico will struggle with the pressure of Vegas

swap Atko snd Nico before kick off and will feel more comfortable

Did someone fart?

Garner can be protected with field not as wide.
Panthers will go through the middle and they will hope Cleary pins is down

The middles will cancel each other I think. Our advantage even with To'o out is the meters from the back 3, Nathan Cleary should get us home on top of that.

Last opinion and I'll leave you guys to it. You aren't getting over us through the middle. Yeo, Kenny, Letoa and Smith are just too strong.

I totally respect that.

Your pack aims up every game and has been a major problem for our team for the past few years. It’s not just the physicality but the line speed in defence from the 1st minute to the last minute.

I just have a feeling your side is a little underdone at the start of this season. JFH is a major loss and he has killed us when we played you guys. I am relieved he’s not on your team sheet anymore. But it’s still a star studded pack.

The other thing that has killed us in recent times is Nathan Cleary. His kicking game has pinned us in our own territory relentlessly. But I also think he will be underdone

You guys are deservedly favourites. But
this is the best time to play the Panthers as previous seasons have shown. We need to get the W this weekend to show something has changed in the off season. And on the back of our pack I think we will.

Very fair points.
As a Umina boy I really hope Nicho does well this year, I do believe he is a fullback though.

Best of luck this year Sharkies! (Except against us of course)
