TEAM LIST Vs Panthers [Round 14]

[tig_prmz]

They've got us covered on all bases

Just give it a good crack, I hope

Need to keep the F/A level

Other than Api and maybe Luai, I don't think I pick any of our players over Penrith.

All in the mindset to stay close enough and stay standing to win it at the bell. We need to fight harder in each tackle, relentless like speed and perfect kick chase. They've done this millions of times, just need to do it 300 more times in 80 minutes

This game could have a significant bearing on our finals chances.

For and against

-20 vs -60

We were +90 only 5 weeks ago

If we can turn up like Saints did against them and only lose by about 20 instead of 40 or 50 that would be ok. If St George can not let Penrith run riot with their weak roster surely we can do likewise.

Just reading on Instagram that Bula being given up to game time to see if he can play. I think if he’s got a problem why risk it in a game like this. IMO better to put him in ice for another week.
Is there any other news about this ?

Who was saying this?

Cant do another 40 Point Loss

Fingers crossed Bula is in...

 

[Spartan117]

I think he has shown us his peak performance.

Not yet and
Not for 80 min and
Not back to back games

I think he will be a star, hoping that this stretch of injuries helps his growth and confidence

 

[Speed2burn]

The key to winning has to be our defence.

The Dogs win a few weeks ago was built on suffocating the ruck, bashing their middles and limiting Cleary's kicking game and second play options.

Hopefully Jarome turns up, because last year he was very average in both our losses. He seems to turn to butter against his old club.

Easier to do that against the Dogs, Penrith with the same opportunities will absolutely toy with us

 

[Tiger Stripes]

I think he has shown us his peak performance.

Agree, I've only seen average performances so far.
No where near the hype he gets; but never seen him at 5/8 or 1/2 other than cameo appearances trying to string two games together. Hope the hype eventuates sometime soon.

 

[jadtiger]

Atkins the ref,Butler in the bunker.My confidence is even lower now.

 

[hank37w]

I guess if Benji was going to give Mavrik a run it had to be this week against his old club. Worked wonders for Jeral last week.

So you are predicting that Geyer will have a brain snap. 🤣

 

[supercoach]

No blow outs and no injuries is all I want. A win would have the NRL calling for an inquiry and checking for any suspicious bets!! At full strength it could have been a real contest, but with our injury toll we will struggle to get within 20

 

[Tucker]

I think he has shown us his peak performance.

I highly doubt a half of his age has peaked.
In fact I flat out don’t believe it.

 

[Dr_Ice]

Mavrik Geyer was one of the better players in state cup last week, probably his best game this year , i think he will be a good in for us all things considered.

Yes he was, however was in the middle like he has been all year.

 

[BirchgroveTiger]

Those 3 weeks without Api were hard to watch! Not saying we’re going to win this one, but I expect much better defence and relentless effort! This is the fittest group we’ve had in a long time, never say never

 

[Halbrowne61]

Which stat? Within 20 or high completion rate? Ha, it's what I hope for, not necessarily what I expect!

Within 20 !!

 

[Halbrowne61]

Who was saying this?

Didn’t get a name Ink, just an article saying that Bula was not 100% and would be given up to kick off to prove his fitness. I have been reading a bit about his injury and it seems surgery was discussed at one stage, so must be ongoing issues there. Let’s hope he is able to soldier on as we’ve seen how poor our full back situation is when he’s out.

Really tough ask for Charlie Murray here. Coming in to a pack with no Twal or Sam against a red hot Panthers pack and side. If he can do well that will say a lot.

I have been of the belief he is capable of being one of those low budget unheralded guys that can really contribute to a teams success. I had him starting the season at 13 with Twal in the front row, thats how confident I was. With the way the game is, a smaller, mobile 13 who works hard and can ball play is very important and Murray ticks those boxes.

Whatever he produces on Sunday, expect that to improve significantly if he ever got a chance with a full strength pack. Obviously I mean Sam back, Twal front row and Pole to the bench.

We can win this game ,,just need to start very very fast and good , get them on the back foot , turn the around , kick to corners , mix up the kicks not just bomb , try the 40/20 , grabbers , bombs , .
Defence is key everyone has to put in 101% and get up fast , Luai to hassle Cleary all game .
Tigers by 4

Also need the Panthers to realise a little and their origin players to coast through it

Round 14 and still no Kit.

What's going on there? That concussion must've been more like a lobotomy.

I thought he was bloody excellent in our first game against the Panthers last year. If it wasn't for a couple of dodgy calls against us, we go very close to winning that game.
