Haven’t seen or heard any antics from bizza around it. He off media duty this week? Lol

Want to see Cleary roll up in a wheel chair or something :joy:

Good luck to the NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg boys in their Grand Finals today.

Before they even kick off the Panthers will have won the Flowers Memorial Pennant for the first time since the clean sweep in 2022. It hasn’t been announced yet, but the math works out, hopefully it is a omen for 2026, another clean sweep… :wink:

Points are allocated as follows;

3 points for each win in NSW Cup
2 points for each win in the NSW Women’s Premiership
2 points for each win in the Ron Massey Cup
2 Points for each win in the Sydney Shield
2 Points for each win in the Jersey Flegg Cup
2 Points for each win in the SG Ball Cup
2 Points for each win in the Harold Matthews Cup
2 Points for each win in the Tarsha Gale Cup
2 Points for each win in the Lisa Fiaola Cup

So the table looks like this;

NSWC NSWW RMC SS JFC SGB HMC TGC LFC Total

Looks like Scott and Patea dropped from the team sheet. Running a fairly light bench

Watched it on BARTV ($9 for a 3 day pass). Dogs looked like they may have a crack between the 40th and 60th minutes.

All one way traffic otherwise.

Well done to both Flegg and NSW Cup teams for their dominant premiership wins.

the club looks in as bright a future as 22. If that’s an omen of tomorrow and beyond I will sure embrace it

Good wins for both!

19 will be locked in now, don’t see Tago being anywhere other than #20

Interesting to see if there will be any changes, like Coggs for Cole or Garner for Talagi?

32

Thanks for letting everyone know, they announced yesterday at the Grand Finals. There isn’t anything on their website very disappointing on that. This should be celebrated widely. The other clubs do when they win.

33

I wish I said this yesterday, but I had this odd thought that I wonder if they’ll shift Cleary to the bench and only inject into the game if desperate.

I think it’s a sign he might be proper busted

Not surprised by Henry shifting to the starting lineup, that’s our biggest most impactful fwd rotation.

Sorro starting for Papali’i surprises me. Is that keeping him fresher and injecting him when fwds get tired?

34

Solid first half. Not ideal losing Cleary, but Cogger has been good so far.

Fatigue will hit the Knights in the second half, playing a man down & having travelled to New Zealand last week.

Hope you’re right, Mutley. We’ve looked dominant this half, and will have the wind next half.

I feel absolutely gutted, like we have lost the gf gutted.

That was horrific.

For all the talk on his foot, he looked to be running fine and kicking semi-okay

Looks like we’ve dropped our bundle in the second half. A few questionable decisions haven’t helped though. 15 minutes to get the win now.

38

Deserved everything we got. Newcastle wanted it so much more.

39

Injuries & questionable decisions didn’t help, but we didn’t do ourselves many favours in the second half.

40

With Cleary, Yeo, Martin, etc off around the 60 min mark we looked lost.

Garner strengthened the right side defence but it was too late.

Too many errors.

That knights try with our backs turned was terrible.
