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

[Jimmie]

At the crack of dawn this morning I went into my secret basement lube lab and started working on special lube blend for next week. So far I'm experimenting with a blend of coconut oil, a deep heat rub base mixed with Oxy Contin, and of course some aloe vera and lastly just for colour some crushed rose petals. All early testing is this formulation it should be able to cope with a Panthers rampage.

I hope you are preparing a large batch….going to be a long season

Some extra good news and for those that have been here for a while , you’ll know what I’m talking about.

We head off tomorrow on one of our annual trips away , not returning to June 30.

And for those in the know, that usually brings more wins , why ???? ****ed if I know but it has happened every year for the last decade.

All the best MFB and safe travels. Where ya headed this time around?

Out west to Broken Hill , then up to the Flinders Ranges , up to Coober Pedy , then across the Painted Desert to join the Oodnadatta Track.

Then we were supposed to be going to Innamincka along the Strezlecki BUT it’s currently flooded and could be for months.

So , well to work on a Plan B if that’s the case

Thank you, Mark.

You'd think we'd finally get a change now that Jake is concussed and will miss this game...

but....

Seibs is that reluctant to change playing Jake at lock for 80 mins even though he's no longer an 80 min player, nor a great lock option - that'll he'll probably send the team out against the panthers with 12 men only.

 

[Dion Johnson]

A few keen on Patolo in their respective team selections, from the games I have seen he has made Sipley look like Payne Haas.

Not many options in NSW cup, they will have to pick James as he is in the 30 man squad, don’t know how likely it will be to get an exemption to play the train and trial players.

We’ll have to win one eventually

Oh Oh this could get ugly.

Our only hope is for the Chooks to take some Penrith players out, I know, it's not politicaly correct to say this. But it's our only hope.
