Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

[Eagle 1]

With Saab out assume TT2 takes his spot & GCKT comes onto the bench.

Simpkin won’t play the full 80 surely, & I would hope Tevaga stays at lock for the whole game.

Lodge can't come quick enough, a lot on here don't rate him, but on his day he's our best front rower on a regular basis.

Nah it’s navale

Saab, Turbo, Aloiai and Paseka. Nothing but injury liabilities

 

[LeonardCohen]

Saab is pretty ordinary anyway. He helps us score points when Tommy makes his sweeps down the right edge. Everything else he does in the game is mediocre.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

For some reason I think we'll put in a better performance than the last two this weekend (not a high bar to clear, admittedly), but I still think we'll fall short. My main hope is that Mitch Kenny is way more important to the Panthers than I think he is.

Add Sipley and Brown to the list also.

Could be a shellacking , even 50+

Ha ha, maybe you can come and join Dark Mode during game day thread ...... It's really not as bad as it the name sounds......

What’s Dark Mode?

 

[Wombat64]

What’s Dark Mode?

It is a separate game day thread where people who are not enjoying certain elements of our clubs performance can go and vent frustrations about players, coach etc without bringing the vibe on the regular threads down. It was requested at the end of last season by a popular poster @Ryan, who hasn't been around lately. It's not as dark as people might think and when we're wining it isn't used much at all. I think you have to request to have access to it and @Jethro is kind enough to set it up for us every week.

Really? If we are losing, what are the good people on the non dark mode talking about? Baking recipes?

And thanks for taking the time to reply.

It all started because people on the regular game day thread were sometimes getting pissed off with too much perceived negativity which was spoiling the experience for some of them. So @Ryan came up with "Dark Mode" option as a place for people to go somewhere and vent ..... but it is really not that bad.

Nah I might be pessimistic but I hate all that crap

41$ for Manly with most losses in 2025. The heart grows heavy to the possibility that this will actually happen to once great club.

Get on it now because it'll drop dramatically in the next few weeks.

Great price. If we lose and the roosters beat the dragons we’ll be equal last.

This one might get very ugly I think. I just can't see any way we contain Penrith in the middle of the park. Our defence is horrible, really horrible, and we just don't seem to be able to tough out a win against sides who like to go set for set. Our wins come off the back of gaining continued possession, which is something I can't see happening against Penrith.

Here is a little bit more information on the 2020 Rnd 2 game, Chooks (H) 8 v Manly (A) 9, was played under the Two Referee System where Ben Cummins was the Primary Referee and she was the 2nd Referee.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Right down the bottom after this game , gee that's something to look forward to isn’t it.

And just to think , a month ago we were touted as top 4 material.
