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

[bob dylan]

After tonight's hiding of the Rorters, the Panthers will put 50 on Manly easily.

Which was massively ref assisted.

As will next weeks game, I have no doubt.

If he keeps playing like a mule then we should drop him. He looks like he doesn't give a damn. What the hell happened

I've noticed he's doing more tackling. He's going to be doing a lot more next Sat.

Yes , there was a definite “ let’s get the Panthers back on track “ theme with that game.

And yes they all hate Manly so I’d expect exactly the same next week.

We should just wheel out all the nsw cup. We are going to get flogged anyway. Anyone with a niggle gets a 2 week rest then start again after the bye and hope we can salvage something from another god for saken sh*tshow of a year..

Mate, we are going to be skittled unfortunately. Bit concerning about back fence Brownie, gets injured everytime he plays, then misses the next 2.

Brownie missed the first three games of the season (through injury, I think), but he has played in the last four, so who knows how long he is out for this time.

I feel we are headed for the spoon.

We certainly have the players and the coach to get us there.

Well at least we’ll be battling for something ( avoiding the spoon ).

Imagine how embarrassing it would be to not win another game.

In all honesty can you see us beating anyone at the moment. Completely disconnected , uninspired group of individuals. What does anyone expect when your captain has publicly shat on the club and proclaimed he can't wait to see the back of the place. Then our forwards leader publicly stated who cares about DCE and whatever he's doing. I deadset think the spoon is a real possibility unless they cut out the cancer now.

I think the player group will start to hate losing every week , after all regardless of anything , or how good they are , they are still professionals so there’ll be some desire to win at least some games.

And yes if the dollar chaser continues to “ dog it “ I’d say there’ll be a parting of the ways mid season.

Sounds like it's going to be an absolute slaughter. Long, long year ahead

How bad were his passes during that last game. They were either too far behind or too far in front of the player who was supposed to be receiving the ball. They were rarely on target. My missus reckons that he is trying to set us (the club) up for the fall.

Honestly we could sneak home against Tigers are in real strife, maybe the Knights, who cant score points, Souths have nothing.

And of course the Eels.

We are in the worst shape I have seen since Barrett was here.

I'm reluctant to say that after 15 seasons and 336 games but seriously it's not looking good when you see what he's putting out there. Some have said that back injury may be the problem which could explain his form.

 

[Phobia]

It's looking like:

1. Turbo (?)
2. Saab
3. Koula
4. Garrick
5. Hopoate / Talau if no Turbo
6. Brooks
7. DCE
8. Aloiai
9. Simpkin
10. Taukeiaho
11. Olakau'atu
12. Burbo
13. Tevaga
14. GCKT
15. Brown
16. Navale
17. Waddell

As per late outs in the NSW Cup fixture.
