I love our supporters LOLLL the chant at the end, i dont think i can repeat it but if you know you know. Love the boys ️️

Funny how a number of coaches have come out and said what an asset he would be to ANOTHER team, not their team. Yet we get criticised for letting him go. No one wants him. He will retire…

I don’t watch many panthers games but if this is how all their games are officiated, it is no wonder they are undefeated…

There is a problem with my quoting system, I don’t have the option to quote.

But, I disagree on the Potter note. Out of all our sacked coaches, he was the best one. He had our side clicking, Tedesco/Brooks were on fire. He had a bad run with injuries which resulted in us dropping out of the 8 in one season, the other was riddled by Farah sega before the biggest game of our season. He unfortunately had to deal with the ego’s within our side that we somehow cannot get rid of.

How could anyone criticise this signing?

He is young and talented…Tall fullback, powerful etc

I’d give him a shot…Look at how that turner out for Canberra with CNK

Brett Morris killing it at 34yrs old. Nofa is in the same league. Not concerned about him running around at 31 yrs old. Club legend, good work Nofzilla.

We have a gun spine apart from Brooks. Our forward pack isn’t too bad either, our backline is terrible but not expensive either. Roberts isn’t on much at all and Leilua wasn’t signed on a lengthy deal. Both will probably be gone next year.

Madge is stuck with at least 1.6mil tied up in Packer and Mbye who will both be gone soon.

We have made great investments in Simpkins and Laurie. Also the young gun forward from Parra is a beast, the other Simpkins looks to be coming along nicely.

Our squad is building nicely and I am keen to see the other signings Madge will be making, especially when the burden of Mbye and Packer are gone.

Brooks was the form halfback of the comp when he re-signed so I’m not going to judge Madge over that decision.

Would be good if we can use the Packer money to sign Staggs. Kind of devastating that Kapeoa is out for the season, would have allowed us to see how he goes and make a decision on whether we need another centre for next year.

Sack the coach…lol

If Madge cannot get us somewhere, no one can…Best thing that ever happened to this club.

He needs at least 3-5 years to turn the joint around though. This is a club that has not made the finals in nearly ten tears.

I don’t care what happens and where we end up, Madge should see out the term of his contract. I am sick and tired of constant changes in coaching. Unless a miracle happens and we can get Bellamy, then Madge sees out his contract.

Re-sign him for 5 years. We need someone to build this team around. I would be giving him captaincy soon…

Brooks needs to go for everyones sake, hopefully its true. Then i would understand Pearce and Hastings in the halves…

Cows surely drop out of the 8 soon, same with Dragons.

If we don’t make the 8, we don’t deserve to…simple

are we able to use some of this year’s salary cap to bump up Mbye so we pay less the next 2 years ?

Why arn’t we doing this for say Brooks? or Twal or Tamou or Daine Laurie?

I don’t understand why we don’t frontload our cap a lot more. Were probably not going to make the 8, what we have to give up on signing DWZ for 400k this year…woopie.

Frontload our spare coin on players we are going to keep. I hate that we have signed Mbye, but I have to admit putting him at 5/8 has worked and he has played his heart out. The fact that he stayed in first grade when Reynolds and Packer dropped all comes down to attitude. I would frontload anyone else but Mbye though.
Look, honestly Mbye was an 750K investment that never worked out. Sure he has sometimes played at the 200k level, sometimes at the 450k level… But if I had to pick our backline it is:
Daine Laurie
Cini/Nofo
Doueini/James - jet-Roberts, plus we have Oliver coming from the UK.
Hastings + Brooks in the halves.

Mbye at best is NR14. OR Mbye starts at 6 and Hastings forces his way into the starting squad.

We probably won’t be signing Mbye on less then 450k. No way we should be frontloading HIM, and why spend so much on NR14 when we could put up a junior. I don’t see where Mbye fits, why front load?

Because this year is technically a write off in terms of recruitment so if we front-load Mbye’s contract he would be on say 500k next year. If he goes to crap and someone picks him up next year, we will only be contributing around 200k as opposed to 500k.

Because we will have paid the rest this year, how does that save money?

It doesn’t save money, it provides us with additional cap space for next year to use on a decent player…

Rubbish with the BJ swap…

He isn’t even contracted to us next year, DWZ has 2 years to run at the Dogs…How could that even work?

DWZ is a recipe for disaster, Mbye disaster to be precise.

We should be watching the top teams for players they are letting go of to clear cap space (resulting from other players needing salary increases) rather than clean out left overs from the side coming last.

Glad to see Mbye named.

Disappointing to see Walters listed as cover for Mbye instead of Madden.

Haven’t seen Walters play since he returned, but people who have say he’s been surprisingly good in reserves. Like someone else said, Madden is a halfback, so he is there to replace Brooks if needed. Walters is cover for 6.

Not if Sheens has his say lol, Laurie to 5/8, Doueihi to FB and winger on the bench to cover in case our hooker goes down…

Kidding I love Sheenius

Mbye - Man of the Match

Watch this space

Can we chant this at every game? Can be our viking clap lol

Send them Mbye to play hooker lol…kidding we need him atm…if we top the Eels next week and Cows lose that puts us in the 8…We better show up

Pot calling kettle black much?

What Laurie did was a disgrace. We aren’t soccer and hope to never see that again from him.

Idc what our players do, as long as we win
