Trevor?
I meant why qualify your statement with could. Trevor also not much better 😉
Yep reckon you are right , it’s a beautiful thing isn’t it ( or it will be ).
Yeah I know - i was thinking who could be worse. LOL
Yep considering my uncle is the President of Parramatta Leagues Club, it's definitely a beautiful thing.
P.S He married into a Manly family. 🤣😉🤣

Oh I hope so ! Love to watch Arthur kick into the grandstand and drop balls at will. Bring it on
I don't think the Panthers were there for the taking at all, they smashed the Eels physically and got well on top up front. I thought the Eels were off their game, right from the start their intensity looked a bit below Penriths. I thought Arthur might give them a big rev up at halftime and tell them to get more physical but all they did was go out and drop the ball.
With the Panthers physically dominant, Cleary was unstoppable.
It was very similar to the job Penrith did on Manly in round 1, we went there with high hopes but they were too strong and played at a higher tempo, especially in defence. Hard to beat.
Panthers not at their best but still accounted for the Eels pretty comprehensively. This hit-out will tell them where they need to tighten up and what they need to work on..... they will prove hard to stop.
lol. Yeah, short of a gallop….you peanut!
Well you weren’t the only one I said x the same !!
A Masterclass last night BUT on the back of their forwards absolutely belting the Squeals
Hello feathered friend Mark , I hope you are keeping healthy and well
But seriously mate .
Who gives a fck about the finals when Manly is not playing
How boring !
Might be on my own here but I think all finals matches should be played in the big stadiums. Feels like the NRL isn’t backing themselves to get the crowds. Screams backyard competition that hasn’t graduated to the modern day and will be left behind.
If the cap fits...
Eels being knocked out again of course would bring its own consolation, though I am equally hoping to see the Panthers stumble at the final hurdle. Watching them last night that seems highly unlikely.
Yet the Panthers strength might bring its own consolation, because surely every other club, including Manly, (surely including Manly) is making serious enquiries about the next gen of young Panthers, whose prospects of breaking into first grade can't be good with the current stars blocking their path. Do we have any agents over there? Maybe Joe Gulavao can point a couple in our direction.
