We've had a number of winnable games this season and we've failed to win them. I like your optimism, I'm just not sure I share it. My biggest concern is I think our Team in better on paper, but not on the bit of paper the ladder is on. Why is that?

After round 10 last season we had conceded 206 points in 9 games (1 bye) This year we have conceded 202 in the same period. I'm not sure I'd want to hang my hat on that. As the season drags on things tend to get harder and harder. We are still a long way off. Conceding 18 points a game is...

I recall the same thing being said about Schiller about 6 weeks ago. It's almost always about money.

Wentworthville magpies right?

Closer to awesome than awful

Done deal. Officially signed for 4 years

I will say they need to do something about access if we are to play there regularly. Last week we lined up for 40 minutes to get in.

Wouldn't mind adding Joe Chan to our back row rotation. He's looked good in the games he's played this year.

Front rowers aren't. And penrith have a tonne of coin tied up elsewhere. Relax.

Fortunately for us Stef doesn't want to leave. At least that's what he said earlier this year. “I’m trying to focus on making the top eight, that’s what I want to do – I want to stay at the Tigers,” Utoikamanu told this masthead. “I’ve loved every minute I’ve been here. They’ve given me my big...

Yes, and they've lost plenty from their top team too. My point is that those players are NRL ready when they go for an opportunity. They don't leave at 16 because Nathan Cleary is there. Look at Sua Faalogo at the Storm. Happy to resign and play backup when he could walk into a number of teams...

It's funny. Clubs like the Panthers and Storm can have a production line of ready to go NRL standard players, but we have 16 year olds wanting out because their pathway is blocked 🙄

Over what? With all the failing of this club over the last 10 years I don't think anything that's happened lately is worth giving up over.

Maybe they didn't bother after reading all the posts about how he won't leave Canberra on here 😆

Ask David Nofoaluma, he'll know.

They still look panicked down that side to me. On most occasions they are scrambling well enough but it would be nice to see them a bit more organised. Saying that, I don't think it's Staines that's the cause. After a couple of scratchy games to start he was solid today.

Of course it does, no one can win on their own. But having Jarome helps too. With the five-eighth in the side the Panthers have a win rate of 88.5% (77 wins, 9 losses), whilst it drops heavily without him 53.8% (7 wins, 6 losses).

Sounds like pretty conclusive evidence! If Naden was on anywhere near $500k he would have been frog marched out of the joint with Justin and Lee.

Confirmed - Tito is 178cm or under 🤣

Alex Johnston doesn't. I think that's a more reasonable comparison. Staines needs to make sure he ices any half chances and backs up any breaks. Those are the things he can realistically do for the team with his skill set. If he can do that he has some value. If not he's a space filler.
