Canterbury Panthers

Not sure our club is in a position to talk

We've got more. Laurie, Staines, Naden, Api, Blore

“But but but we made the finals over 10 years ago with Sheens” - Sheens bootlicker

So you’re not a fan of Tim BP?

 

[Moh]

Manu would be on more

Not against the cap he won't be.

 

[tony soprano]

Here he is.. captain sooky la la himself.
😿😿

How many times did he mention pascoe today?

 

[Batmans Parents]

I’m not 100% confident he’ll do much with this squad but he’s the only one who’s got us to a truly meaningful game in our history. I’m not sure he can overcome the issues above him but so far he’s made a huge difference in recruiting. Bootlicker is strong but I think he’s Pascoe’s best decision by a country mile.

Like I said on a another post, I’m cautiously optimistic. I’m happy with the Klemmer and Bateman signings (the IP and Api signings were Madge signings). He’s got arguably our best line up since we had Moses, Tedesco and Woods here (not to mention easily our best forward pack since Ellis was here) so I expect us to at least be competitive for the 8, even with the backs being underwhelming.

Considering no one else of significance wanted the job and the search was being led by Sheens, I won’t give Pascoe credit for that.

Also IMHO, I would seriously pay good coin for an outstanding Centre. If not Joey Manu then Justin Olam.

100%
I look at the Bronco centres with a tad bit of jealousy. I think we may be able to get more out of them.

Guess who got the quality

I am actually. Especially of his attacking style of play and of course the premiership. However, I refuse to have blind faith in him (or anyone frankly) given he hasn’t achieved anything of relevance in RL in over a decade and the shady nature in how he got the coaching gig.

Im happy to wait and see until the season is done but at the same time, I won’t sit here and watch his shills act like he is the second coming and can do no wrong when history shows otherwise. Not to mention some of the blatant lies and rewriting of history being peddled (like Api and IP being signed because of Sheens)

I like Crichton and see upside but just not convinced he will cut it as a fullback, his ball playing ability needs alot of work. He looked very ordinary at the back for the Panthers. He will be 23 end of this season so plenty of growth years ahead of him.

I agree. A very capable athlete but I would have concerns about his ability to spearhead an attack, rather than be the beneficiary of good lead-up work.

 

[Pascoes_barber]

Needs a pom update, only one with useful info

Be waiting a long time for that

Yeah I see him as a centre much like Manu.

Arriba!

That is about the most articulate and well written post I have seen from you.
I am a fan, anyone who wins me a gf I got a soft spot for, but yeah the jury is still out for me too. He may not have gotten Api and IP over the line but did alright with some others. Shame we had to let Hastings go but I’ve been a fan of Klem and wanted him bad when he signed for the knights.
Anyway life’s short and I’ve only won one gf, so get me another please Tim and bring the jury back in.

I’m only crediting him for bringing Sheens in as head of whatever when the club was a laughing stock. Brought back a little bit of credibility.

Clean slate brah...
Forum has come a long way since then.

Yeah a long way down the gurgler

You can't blame POM or Cloudyclock for not posting. It was enjoyable to have them posting. They were part of the character of the site.

@THE_POM will be back online soon with his insights….patience and be kind

Mate I can fabricate news for you if that’s what you are into. You won’t miss them I promise.

 

[Odessa]

I'd offer 1.1 mill to Manu to play fullback. He's a class above on any position.

Shame he resigned last year.

You would have to offer him more then he is on at East to leave the offer would have to start at 1.6/1.7 million

I welcome all contributions. 😀

Argy bargy hour again. Post at your own peril - see who comes at you and have your best comebacks ready.

AND YET THE POLITICS THREAD WAS CLOSED BECAUSE OF "THE ANTAGONISM IT CAUSED""....the few who didnt like the opinion of others had to whinge to the mods...bravo...
It seems that the antagonism creeps into all the threads lately,but only the selected ones are satisfied....
Nothing wrong with having differing opinions,thats what life is all about,good discussions can be satisfying to all parties...Its the ones who think their opinion is the only one that matters are the ones who start becoming bitter and argumentative....

 

[earl]

That is an interesting perspective. I think it has as much truth in it as stating the Ukraine hasn't actually been invaded by Russia.

It's another good decision from the mods in my eyes. Too many trolls coming onto this forum to peddle their nonsense because they aren't allowed to peddle it anywhere else on the Internet.
