Half these comments sound like Benji is coaching the Panthers. The sad truth is he's coaching a really weak roster. Made up of blokes that weren't wanted by other clubs. I'm not really into slandering blokes individually, but a fair chunk of the squad are nowhere near NRL level.

Really big step forward for the club. What Shaun achieved at the Mariners was incredible. Fingers crossed.

Last Magpie to get a Kangaroos jersey. I believe he may also have been the last pre joint venture player to play for Australia too?

There's a pretty big difference between consistent NRL footy and taking apart the team running dead last in reggies.

Solid team. Great to see our Lebanese legends back. AD and Madden have formed a pretty good combo so I'm happy with this. For mine, Latu isn't anywhere near a starter. His defence at times is terrible.

I'm no sports scientist, but how would an army camp six months ago still be affecting the team now? If it's a physical thing, you'd expected fatigue related injuries which we haven't seen. Mentally? A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then. For mine, we were just beaten by a...

I genuinely thought the Commonwealth Games had gone to the great graveyard of events that are no more, along with Big Day Out and World Expo 88.

I'm not filled with confidence after we were belted by a couple of mediocre teams. The number of points we've conceded would suggest we're gravitating towards 15th or so on the ladder if it continues which isn't any better than what we've seen for years. For mine, there's just so much money...

I was no Pascoe fan. But they key difference with Richo is that he was very hands on with building the roster. Always has been at every club he has been at and admitted as much at ours.

I'm not really into speculation or conspiracy theories. All we really know is that he resigned and we're seeing the results from a roster that he helped build.

Some of the comments here lamenting the loss of Shane Richardson have me shaking my head. The bloke just repeated the same old pattern, paid overs for a washed up player, leaving very little else to go around. Yesterday's result was ample evidence. Copping 70 and not looking remotely close to...

That's it mate. The way some people carry on, it's like these ex-players killed their dog or something.

Never really understood the hate for the bloke. Played some great footy for us. Selected for origin, Kangaroos. Clearly not the dud that everyone makes out. Left the club and said a few dumb things in the heat of the moment. Big deal. many of us have done the same at work.

Each to their own mate, but plenty of us it's pretty cringy.

Seeing us get roughed up by the Storm (third last) and the Sharks (9th) was a real wake up call. Can't see us winning more than 4 or 5 for the rest of the season - putting us around 13th. As much as I like Jarome and think he's a good influence on the team, he's a big drain on the cap. We've...
