  • Looks like we match up fairly well against the Warriors.

    Hopefully we can get the win over there.

  • Winning our last few games should lead into the next season, full steam ahead 

  • Why does Dean Hawkins keep getting overlooked?

    • Ryles has said his specific role is back up 7 for Mitch. Which he fits perfectly. Joash is the 6 he wants to give the reps to for now.  Hawkins can fill in at 6/7 when required but easily 

    • Simple answer , Josh Papalii is doing a great job ,possibly our future five eight , Hawkins is a very good backup 

    • I think because Papalii is the future not that Hawkins isn't any good. The more games Papalii plays and combines with Mitch Moses the better 

    • We won last week, why change it

    • Through the year we have largely addressed our defensive issues. Our attack is still very average. Joash provides more spark in attack than Hawkins does.

      A Hawkins and Moses combo will not get us to Top 4. We need someone to partner Moses who is an attacking threat. Hawkins is a great back-up for Moses and given Moses injury load over the last few years he is just what we need there. The jury is still out on whether Joash is the answer, but he has potential to be the answer which is why Ryles is trying to get a good look at how he may develop.

  • Rusty's back good stuff

  • Yeah we should win.

    On another note, how the fuck are the Panthers allowed to rest an entire first grade squad?

    Surely they have a duty to select their best team every week, injuries permitting. The NRL get paid fantastic money to put on 8 games a week, fans pay memberships and TV pays rights to see the best game put up their best players 

    What an absolute farce. Seriously this shit needs to change - imagine they did this for Origin.
