Advice
With risk of Coronavirus increasing in Sydney please take precautions when attending events with large crowds, if you are at increased risk refrain from attending high crowd events.
Not a bad squad and interesting to see Crichton on the bench and Burton a reserve with Luai getting the job at 6
Roosters will be up for it, hope we are
On a side note i wonder if the Coronavirus āthreatā will have any impact on what would have been a bumper crowdā¦hope it doesnāt but you couldnāt blame folks for not going especially when they have to take their own toilet paper.
Just glad the footy is back and for the Panthers, i just hope we have something better and different to what we dished up last year
Raiders,Roosters and Storm set a very high mark last year and we were way off the pace
Hope we are competitive and we get through with no injuries, a win would surprise but would be a magnificent shot in the arm for players and supporters.
JFH has suffered a Pectoral Tear in October at Gym session just after the end of the season which required surgery. There has been 4 months of recovery, and he is ready to play.
He has only played one trial in 4 months and only came back to full training a few weeks back. I think the strategy is to limit his game time and ease him back into footy. I think keeping him out of the squad wonāt help his recovery any, he needs game time, but needs to ease back into it.
saw an earlier cross to the ground and it looks magnificent although we had a bit of rain, i think we will still see an open game
Nathan was interviewed and he recognised we were the most penalised team last year and says we need to focus on our discipline mores against the Roosters.
Lets see how this unfolds during the game
Being cool i think gives our big boppers a better chance to compete and be less fatigued, but they will enjoy the same conditions
It sets up as a beauty
I will be happy if we an be disciplined and put in a great effortā¦if we get a win i will be over the moon
Very happy to be back at footy, even though it may be shortlived!!
Start was ordinary, but a pretty darn good performance to get the 2 points against the ābenchmarkā team. Forwards were very good as a unit, with Api a standout. The fish & Yeo were the next best.
Looked dangerous almost every time we went left. Not so much on the right with the invisible man presenting zero threat yet again.
Always good to get a win first up at home!
Should be a good sign for the future, whatever shape that may take.
maybe we have to temper our enthusiasm as its only Round 1 and as many old hard heads know its not what happens in Round 1ā¦its what happens after 26 rounds
And with that being said i doubt we will see 26 rounds this year which is something all of us would never have seen before
Things are moving so quickly around us its hard to know how long the season may go if its goes any further and questions like what number of rounds would constitute a season before the finals?
There was heaps to like, we had variety mostly coming from Korisau who looks to have settled into a key role early and with players like Crichton punching above their weight, things look promising and would almost be a shame if we didnāt get a full season in to see how we go but there are bigger things at play nowā¦i just hope the people who are at risk avoid acquiring this virus.
If we have to give up a year as a sacrifice to getting through this with less casualties and or people getting sick, i am willing to do so.
The greater future and legacy of the game is what is important right now
Funny you say that about our invisible man mrwalker, when we scored in the second half I cracked up laughing, said to the Mrs, havenāt seen Whare all game until he came in to pat someone on the back lol
Cāmon mate, be fair 80mins - 2 runs for total 15m, 11 tackles with 3 missed. Until I looked them up just now, I didnāt realise just how invisible he actually was. During the game I just noticed little involvement.
Note: I am trying to not mention by name until he departs - I still remember getting crucified on here over Purtell
