Panther Pride Man of the Match voting is now open here.
Scrappy start but stuck with it and a solid win.
Hope I’m wrong, but I think Yeo’s response spoke volumes about Cleary.

First full game I’ve watched in a while as I have been overseas.
Souths first try - the only downward pressure on the ball was gravity.
Souths second try was Luai being lazy.
I don’t think Luai will be a great loss; looks like he is auditioning for a part in Dirty Dancing.
Turuva will be a great loss but replacements are coming through the ranks.
Can Edwards and Yeo get any better?
Has Nathan Cleary used up all his sick leave for this year?
The 6-again rule is spoiling our game; yesterday was ridiculous.
Highlight for me was the length of the field backslapping for Edwards after his quick restart to put May clear through for a try.

I loved Jarome’s little wave goodbye

I saw that. It would be great to have a screenshot of that.

I hadn’t noticed Luai waving “Bye.” That’s great! Thanks for posting it.
It sure adds a bit of colour to the game. But I noticed that Luai was equally relaxed when the Souths’ player waltzed past him to score their second try. Was he trying to do a “Mitchell” and have a bit of downtime?

Still a bit rusty but our effort and desire ensures we are always in the game, even if we go behind early on. There will always be something we, or someone, should/could have done better, which the hard markers will always point out.
Each week we face a team either trying to make something of their season, or playing their ‘GF’, against the premiers so it’s never going to be easy. Almost always we respond & get the bikkies. Sitting nicely on the ladder and looks like we will be there when the whips are cracking.
Too many standouts to run thru all the names, with DE and IY at the very tops of their games, but Mitch Kenny is outstanding this year. We miss Api, and their games are very different, but there is no #9 that would work better for our team at this point.
There will be some troughs between now & October, but the signs are looking good for a good defense of our title.
May the fourth be with you.

This was a game we should have won handsomely and the score will reflect we did.
That being said, i believe we were just way too clunky and off our own game.
The first try they scored was simply not a try but we have become used to getting bad calls, however their second try was masterful.
On our effort, we clearly miss Cleary and imo Schneider is not a match on Cogger and this is a concern. Further for some reason which i cannot understand Luai has gone back to his early bad habit of moving laterally and jumping around which seems to throw our rhythm in attack out of whack.
I think Leota and JFH were way off their best and in some way are not giving Schneider time to use any of his skills.
we got the money and the points but to be fair Souths are a rabble and have a mortgage on the wooden spoon.
Edwards again was clearly MOM and i fear how we would have gone without him and Cleary.
