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

[Ron E. Gibbs]

A great chance of reinjuring himself. This smacks of a desperate coach and a big-hearted player.

Every time he steps on the field he's a great chance of re-injuring himself. Every time he gets out of bed he's a great chance of re-injuring himself. We can't keep him in cottonwool forever. But you're damned if you do, damned if you don't with Tom. And if he does go down again, you are right that Seibold will get the blame.

 

[manly al]

Even if they do win we will lose the following 2 then win 2 then lose 4 and turbo

Haven 't looked or not looking that far ahead
, Just would seem so much better for a range of reasons to somehow jag a win this week and added to the subsequent bye points the next week, would make it 5 from 9 which sound even marginally , a bit better and hope then 4 from 9 including the bye .
The Sharks then i think who are not that dominant at present .
After that absolutely no idea

Yep as we know everything that goes wrong is the fault of the dud coach.

He’s the one missing the tackles , giving away penalties , not being committed in defence & the obvious cause of the team not being able to attack.

And if only he would donate his hamstrings to Tom instead of Tom having to use his own.

 

[The Who]

Looks like Ange will shortly be a coach looking for a team.
Didn't he mastermind 'Angeball', a style of play which we have adopted?
May as well go after him, eh?

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

If DCE is not injured and he's just playing below par, surely ego alone would lift him against Cleary.

We'll see.

The battle of the Chin vs the Neck.

No doubt we will shortly see him in the back of the coaches box, looking as befuddled as every other cross sport rope in our new age guru thinks conveys to the world how smart and innovative he is.

 

[Nambawan]

Yes, I'd be shocked if all 3 players that were replaced on Thursday, actually played Saturday.

I'm not even convinced that Navale will add that much to the team (even though I do think he's been going ok in the games I've seen him play in reserves) but he at least needs a go given how slow our pack is.

Am more confident about Navale. He is big enough, has pace, and will tackle. Young players have to get their chances when appropriate - and who would argue that the current selected pack indicates now is not the right time to inject new blood?

1..Yep as we know everything that goes wrong is the fault of the dud coach.

2..And if only he would donate his hamstrings to Tom instead of Tom having to use his own.

1..Yep as we know our Coach is not accountable for his players and his Team performance

2..And If Only we could Donate Bellamy's Brain to Seibold instead of Seibold having to use his own

I know nothing
I see nothing
I am not accountable for anything

Turbo’s knee still strapped, I guess not unexpected but I always do get a little concerned about him when I see those legs strapped at all with a game in a few days.

I do worry they’ve hit the panic button after 3 losses and rushed him back, considering after last week Seibold said he was “a chance” rather than certain. Cannot afford to have him go down again on Saturday, hopefully he gets through his stint and probably comes off early for Talau (or Faulalo if he’s injured) to take the wing and Lehi to FB.

Personally I think it’s stupid playing him, we are losing anyway and by not playing him its two more weeks of recovery.

You can almost smell the “ injured again and out for the season “ coming.

Yeah doesn't fill me with confidence

 

[DieHardManlyFan]

I’d personally love to see some more set plays looking to unleash Koula. Penrith look vulnerable on their edges and I think Koula has the potential to be a premier centre in the game. All comes down to our middles holding their own for it to happen though.

Penrith , despite their win last week , aren’t the Penrith of old.

This “could “ be the upset of the year !

Note the emphasis on the “could”.

For all we know, he might have asked to come back early, so that he can get more game time under his belt, so that he will be in a better position to be in contention for SOO (where he will probably play and get injured again and be out again for many weeks).

If we line up as listed and all give a red hot crack, I ain’t hating the matchups tbh. All rests on Turbo tho. If he’s good to go we can give this one a shake.

Do we have enough data on Belinda Sharpe yet to know how much we hate her?
