Panthers and Dogs next two weeks.

Ignoring all the contract and movement stuff, these next two weeks are a real chance for our guys to stomp 2 rivals into the ground. We have been playing some great footy and will have Moses Lomax back on deck. Hopefully can put panthers to the sword

Our club is on the way up, there have been so many positives over the p

Sandon smith

Come on Jason dont let sandon go to the cowboys we need him even more now that Gavin not coming 

Dont put all your cards on Volkman if he was any good Warriors would of keep him there must be a reason why they let him go

All i hear is other clubs buyin

Rumour: Sandon Smith to Cowboys

Moving Forward

Obviously it's a shame Galvin has chosen to go to the dogs but, for us nothing much changes this season. Team will need to continue on the same path and obviously we will have other targets for the 6. Main thing to remember is if Galvin wanted to be

NRL AND THE DOGS CHEATS

DOES PARRAMATTA ACTUALLY NEED GALVIN?

I actually hope Parramatta don't get Galvin as what he will cost does not match the talent he will bring.

Between Longi and Papalia we have a 6 and a 1 who will take far less money out of the cap and  if I had to choose between Galvin as a player and

Buster Hindmarsh signs with Panthers

Wow , our junior pathways is obviously going gangbusters 😂.  It's not as if his young blokes shit, he goes good. 

Good enough for the Penrith system but not good enough for ours ? Unlikely .  Wonder if Hindy was worried he'd cop what JA and MA copped

Could joash be our solution at 6?

Like an Ezra mam type 6, has the footwork, and skill. Defence maybe the issue?
