    How many years did we give Debelin

    • Acme > Parra_Greg March 24, 2026 at 5:41pm

      Just one. with a club option for a second.

    Great to see Moretti back.

    At least we are under no pressure to win this game whatsoever. The Eels have thrown the Panthers off their game in the past by utilising 2nd phase.

    Be good to see us attack from inside our 20m, get a little creative, as there is zero point to trying to beat the Panthers at their game.

    I'd put Walker back to the bench and start with one of Luca, Doorey or Guymer. 

    Otherwise, cool.

    not feeling good about this game. Hoping there will be some good defence and smart footy from the team but not really confident.

      If anyone is feeling good about this game I want whatever they are on lol

    Id almost prefer guymer at centre, mobile enough and better in defence than Kelly. He just needs to hold the edge, we have plenty of attack elsewhere in the team imo.

    If Penrith don't have a send off or early injury to either Cleary, Yeo or Edwards.... Penrith by plenty. Hopefully not as much as the Storm game 😬

"To add to the 2028 talk. Players like Tuivaiti, Iongi, Kautoga, Samrani, Da Silva, Smith etc. If they are still at the club are well past 50 games bracket that is considered the point where the game slows down and you are FG hardened. Talataina…"

"Yeah i understand and things can be done for him to try and do both in some area. Though as you said why weaken one area to somewhat strengthen another when it is not a massive strength. Walker at 6 could be the better option, but him not being in…"
