Re: 2016 Finals Wk 2 V Panthers: Teams and Previews*Teams p1

They are both massive inclusions, but we don't win this game if Hodgson doesn't suit up. Semi finals come down to a few moments, and you need your best players making those clutch decisions. Given we only lost by two points last week - I would say losing Hodgson lost us the game for sure. Our main ...

Re: Putting $100 on the Panthers

If we win, I'll be so elated I won't miss the cash at all. If we lose, I can drown my sorrows courtesy of booze supplied by the TAB. Now I'm not a big gambler, so $100 feels like a lot of cash! I can cop making a prelim and losing, I'd still see that as a great achievement. But if we lose this I'll...

Re: 2016 Finals Wk 2 V Panthers: Teams and Previews

This game will be very tight and one team will emerge with a slender victory. I think a wet track suits us more than them due to our forwards being the more dominant on paper and having that grinding game v sharks. I'd like to see Soliola play more minutes. He leads our line speed. Without him, we t...

Re: 2016 Finals Wk 1 V Sharks: Game Day

Finals football poses questions to players and they decide whether they are going to be a winner or a loser. Unfortunately a lot of our players were put under pressure and made the choice to be a loser (Lee, Baptiste, Sezer for eg). I think Vaughan needed to play that game and our bench rotation was...

Re: Canberra Raiders offer halfback Sam Williams a new deal

I like Sammy but I think he can only be our back-up half these days. Just lacks a bit of game management and a running game. Great fill in if we have an injury though. If he decides to leave we can slot Croker or Hodgson in.
