Who writes this script? Our home game, we play the Broncos in magic round at Suncorp

HillsPanther · April 29, 2025, 4:14am

The funny thing is the morons out there keep saying we are the favoured team.

Scott Sorensen has lost his appeal to have a reduction in his grading.

He therefore will serve the full 3 week suspension.

Mutley · April 29, 2025, 11:24am

If I was Ivan I’d be playing the last 20 mins of the 2023 GF in repeat all week. Need to show the boys what they are capable of & fire them up.

AlbertRoss · April 30, 2025, 1:50am

If I was Ivan I would be gearing up for next season.

mrwalker · April 30, 2025, 4:40am

with Sorro out, looks like Luron Patea may come on to the bench - he was not named for Cup, just on reserves list for NRL.

SouthernHillFan · May 2, 2025, 6:48am

That video footage for the backs.

Show the forwards the first 20-30 minutes of the 2022 grand final!

Mutley · May 4, 2025, 6:49am

Good first half. Cleary’s kicking has been regularly catching Cobbo out of position. That try was almost a replay of the try he scored in the 2023 GF.

SouthernHillFan · May 4, 2025, 6:52am

I like what we are doing - keep it up!

Nathan’s replay of 23 grand final - good thing am wearing the jersey I wore to the 23 grand final - the 2023 alt strip!

Mutley · May 4, 2025, 6:57am

I’m wearing the 2023 Threepeat jersey.

Mutley · May 4, 2025, 7:45am

Good solid win. Not a bad player. Combinations forming up, and our defence is starting to look more like it had the last 5 years.

SouthernHillFan · May 4, 2025, 9:28am

Great win - I really liked Garner in the centres and Papaliii in the 2nd row - I hope we keep those combinations going forward.

Cleary and Edwards back to their best, Tago has certainly improved since his benching.

The forwards back to their dominating best.

It was great to see our defense hold in the first half when they had us pinned on our line for multiple sets.

I just hope we can repeat this again and again

Gogatee · May 4, 2025, 9:39am

Everyone lifted and it looked like a normal panthers game.

Is that a good performance in 2 out of the last 3 games?

Luron needs to stay in first grade. We need the big motors.

Mutley · May 4, 2025, 10:00am

Panther Pride Man of the Match voting is now open here.

Letsgochamp · May 4, 2025, 10:16am

Great performance from all 17 ….Luron should be on the bench for the rest of the season.

SouthernHillFan · May 4, 2025, 10:35am

I agree with Luron on the bench.
I would leave Papali’i in the 2nd row, Garner in the centres and have Sorro on the bench when he comes back.

Great to see Milky playing better each game, but he will have to give way to To’o.

Other than that it’s Kenny back in the 9, and a question of who plays 14. Sommerton certainly helped his case this week.
