I was very disappointed in Charlie Murray today, he looked overawed and took some easy options today… and madden has to play Reggie’s until he gets his kicking game sorted,,, just taking the wrong kick option consistently and hardly executing,,, really underperforming… Benji should bite the bullet and start Latu at 7 and bring Javon Andrews into the centres,, he is a big body and mobile so he could handle it,,,,, start preparing for the future

I don't know what people expect Madden to do on the back of a side who can barely make 20m a set and is always completely on the back foot.

Only Mav Geyer charged yesterday
$1k fine dangerous contact on clearly

I don't think anyone would have cared if he copped ten weeks inns, just a shit footballer, to think Perth signed him up, Ha, good luck with that recruit Mal lol.

There has been nothing confirmed about Perth signing him.
Why have we been playing him as a prop all season in NSW Cup and then come the middle of the season ask him to play a totally different position at NRL level ?
That’s stupidity in itself, but I do agree I don’t think he is up to it, I was surprised when we signed him as there was other better similar cost NSW Cup forwards available at the time.

Well, that's lucky for Perth they've dodged a bullet then if he's not going to be signed.

Maybe he was played at 2nd row because the cupboard was bare, Roberts in a moon boot, don't really give a rats it was a crap performance.

so who we missing again?

AD, Twal and Sam ? Is that it ?

Three good players … but the others have gotta stand up … there are several out there on good money

We need to lock up Samuela asap. As each week goes by, it becomes more apparent how valuable he is to this team. I actually think he is more the heartbeat of this squad than Tito in terms of his energy plus his effort and 1%ers are unrivalled.

Wonder what the hold-up is, the extensions were flooding in and now the one we want the most, crickets, these things make me nervous especially after a flogging with our history.

We have to stop doing that crap, we did the same with mason st fullback when he hadn’t played any cup there this season

I don't think he'll want to go anywhere else. It'll just be down to $$$ and how it's spread over multiple years. His manager Mario Tartak (although suspended) is a hard negotiator. What gives me some confidence is he manages Makasini as well so I don't think Mak would have extended so quickly if there was a good chance the Fainus may move on.

The same as every other player, money.
They all want maximum money, but then wonder why we can’t afford decent depth players tj cone on when we have injuries.
In comparison the core players who have stayed with the Panthers long term have have often taken less than they could have got elsewhere as they want to have decent depth players at the club.

Well, that unfortunately isn't going to happen here unless by some miracle we start making the finals or we finally have a glut of talent come through the system that want to stay, giving you the choice to flush inflated contracts.

At the moment it's just vicious circle, that wasn't meant to be a smart-arse pun.
