Despite the scoreline, we were quite competitive until the backend of the game in round 12. Quite confident with the added firepower, losing a lot of baggage and extra weeks to focus on beating the panthers. I’m feeling confident in snagging a win.
Heavy underdogs, nothing to lose. I think Cleary's out so probably a good time to play the Panthers. A win for us is just being competitive. I've never really cared too much for the draw in general.
It’ll be a Panthers team without Nathan Cleary as he has just had surgery on his shoulder and won’t be available for a big chunk of the start of the season.
