Its not in the who, the why, or the how its in the want. How can It take 2 front rowers and a large hooker to put down a winger its in the want. How can a so so 2nd rower run thru 3 first up tacklers , side step a 5/8 and get a pass away, its in the
In tomorrow's Battle Of the West, Vincent Lombardi almost foreshadowed the Panthers sixty years ago when he said, “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence."
Ryley Smith has opened up about the apprehension of Tallyn Da Silva joining the club, but has said they both lean on each other and it works well. Seems Ryles has definately been clear in communication with both lads over their roles to make them hap
It seems to be boys V men entry week watching Parra play. We simply have been ragdolled every week. We have skill with the ball but are always chasing given we are on the back foot.
Does the Centre of Excellence have a weights room ... we look weak an
Curled up in the foetal position, the noise is getting louder from some of our punters. Drop Pezet. Move him on. He’s been labelled “a mistake” by some, along with the usual tomatoes thrown at R&R, the team, and the front office. But not Talyn Da Sil
This heading is probably something we don't like admitting to. Yes it implies criticism but I don't want to start looking for blame or scapegoats, just accept it and move on.
The main issue in my mind is the "Pezet" experiment. It hasn't worked and t
Should we have a crack at Matt Timoko, they have let him explore options. He is the kiwi center. Has flaws in his game, but under new structure Ryles can improve him
Just eager to see where everyone thinks we will place on the table come season end?As of now, I have us between 6th-10th, just depending on injuries and how much our middle defence improves throughout the year. Another factor is if we unearth some yo
Willie Mason is onto something. The Panthers give away a set restart on the first tackle if they lose the contact. They value getting their line set, and not allowing the opposition any momentum that they're prepared to give away a 6 again on the fir
It might have been Kerry Packer who once said words to the effect: if you can get more than fifty percent right, you’ll be King of the World. Alas, there could be some Nostradamuses among us.
Will we make the finals and keep improving? What are the
Enter Ata Mariota (Canberra), the samoan at 24 can be what we need. Unsigned for 2027 onwards. Lookin at the market good size props lack. Good years in him. If he was in stickys plans, he would have been
Thats how lacklustre the people running recruitment and retention roll. Our best prop, yet he can talk to other clubs in a few months, and were extremely short on go forward props.
When he was only signed until 2027, I honestly couldn't believe it. A
Nrl statement saying Iongi has 5 days to respond to nrl breach notice but they haven't said anything about what punishment is. Even if it's 1 game panthers gonna flog us so can put Joash in 🤣
Only 3 games into his eels career, plenty of ups and downs from Pezet but for the most part he seems a solid young half. His defence needs a lot of work but not sure moving to Brisbane and facing all of that pressure is going to help him. Looks like
"I think when your roster is as weakened as the eels is right now, you can get a good effort from them once or twice every few weeks but a lot of these guys aren't nrl players so only so much juice you can get from the squeeze. If Ryles was given a…"
"Is a good coach based upon the players he has in his roster that justifies him being a good coach and winning with that credible roster OR is a good coach one who even with a weakened roster yet he has the skills, motivation and ability to take what…"
