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

Get well Mrs G.
And remember to put him in his place at times.

Don’t tell me even God gets nagged.

Well with those changes our bench looks so weak.

Panthers by plenty

 

[Brookie1973]

Why has Gordie got a bench spot, surely Chee Kam gets his opportunity now.

Does it really matter? Both average.

You don’t think Ivan is staying up late rejigging his game plan to counter these changes?

 

[SeaEagleSI1]

I guess things could be worse
This time last year, if we had these forwards injuries Aaron Woods would be in the team.

Let’s go 🦅

 

[Rocky]

it's not first prize, but I'm also interested to see how we look with a more mobile pack. A lot of our plodders aren't there and last time I saw a team like this we beat St George last year. Ok this is a much bigger test, but with turbo there we aren't no chance.

 

[Budgie]

I think aloiai might be out
Find out soon
He hurt his wrist at training and haven’t seen him in any of the captain run photos

Does that mean he now has a limp wrist?

Sorry, Couldn't help it.

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

As expected - they wanted to rest Aloiai until after the bye given his shoulder has given him issues since the Parramatta game.

Bullemor gets the opportunity to start and Navale on to the bench. Not terrible particularly given Brown and Bully were long odds to play early in the week.

Manly have actually shortened in betting after those changes confirmed!

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Well with those changes our bench looks so weak.

If Sean Keppie was still with us, he would easily be our number one prop. And even though he has improved at Souths, he is still very ordinary. That is how stretched we are for decent forwards.

 

[Disco]

Can't believe people are seriously saying we'll be lucky to win more games this year.

Geez step back from the ledge, we'll make the 8.

Yep same here. Jake, Toff and to a lesser extent Aloiai plodding out of the lineup.

Yeah it’s pretty grim. Was thinking about popping out to a couple Qld Cup games this weekend for a bit of scouting.

Ever since DCE announced his departure, and with our current injury woes it's all been domesville around here. Plenty of games to go, and once we get some troops back after the bye things will change, especially if Tommy stays injury free 🤞

I saw Panthers Captains run and noticed Dylan Edwards was wearing a tracksuit and didn't appear to be training. We can only hope.........

 

[Dingo]

It is almost Gameday. Tomorrow not only are we just playing to end a losing streak, we are playing to make the NRL great again by keeping the Panthers and Eels at the bottom 2! I mean folks if that alone isn’t enough to get us more hyped up than we’ve ever been, what is?

 

[Thewestisbest]

If we win tomorrow I will be stunned in the most joyful of ways.
