There is no underestimating the might of the Panthers as a club. They definitely currently set the standard.

Terrel May didn't play for Panthers

He was in their junior system. Got released for 'attitude issues'

Capewell isn’t a panthers junior mate . Came from the sharks I think ?

Yeah went there from Sharks but Broncos junior. He was one of the few on that list that spent time at Panthers, was released from their gun side but wasn't a product of their system. Api another, couple others on that list as well
Edit* kikau and Hosking the others

BTW…that was Melbournes first 50 point touch up since 2003.
None of this group, excluding the coach have experienced it before. Bellamy went 23 years after that before it happened again.
Maybe it will light a fire in them?

I asked the AI folk and it thinks we've had 29 instances of 50 points or more put on us in the same period.

More than one per year….
What a record.

What would they know

Oh Jeez, what happened? Stepped out to dinner at half time. It was 26-6 and I thought that was convincing enough. I even wrote a comment here praising the Panthers coaching, discipline and execution. But 50-10?? That's phenomenal against last year's grand finalists. Can someone answer, how much was it the Storm's ineptitude relative to Penrith's excellence? That's 3 losses in a row for Melbourne. You'd have to think the team are not meeting the normal high standards set by the coach. Why?

I know the dolphins were bad but do you think manly were tanking earlier rounds to get seibs axed? Players have so much control over coaches. They looked like a completely different team this round.

Comp 2026 isn't making much sense.

Rabbit's seem to be improving, yet other then Campbell Graham coming back I don't get it.

Penrith, without adding much to their side at all are running riot.

I kinda feel for St George, they hit tough teams at the start, by round 4 they have given up.

It's going to take awhile to work out who are pretenders and who are real.

Looks like he lost the room hence the early sacking.

But apparently the Dolphins were deplorable. Nah, I don't think the Manly players threw games to oust Siebold. They were just sick of his voice and unmotivated. That's enough to lower performance. Quite a turnaround though.
