Dogs to upset Panthers

[bringitontm]

As the title suggests I reckon we have a chance against them at Bankwest if we get even possession. I didn't think we were that bad against the Knights just got tired from all the defence.

I agree... we weren’t allowed to be in that game yesterday, people on here just have no positivity whatsoever

bahahah mate we can't even beat an egg at the moment. I think the best we can hope for is to keep within 3 converted tries. I will eat my words on here publicly if I' m wrong but I'd wager we wont even get close except for the kick off

If we can shore up our defence, we can score a decent amount of points

Imagine the players going into that game with your mentality

 

[Interestingg]

Hahahahaha

If we win, you streak the field the week after with a ‘I love hetherington’ banner

 

[Bulldog1966]

Playing a team a couple of levels above the Knights, whilst i admire the optimism i think you're dreaming.We need to improve just so we don't get violated imo

Panthers could of been so much better just then vs the Cowboys and they still won 24-0. Next week could be nasty. They have way too much energy and strike power and our defence is shambolic.

lucky they don't read this forum. With the mean shit everyone says about our blokes if they did they'd top themselves..... Napa, DWZ, Lewis just to name a few. I'm just being realistic. There are teams we are a good chance of beating just not top teams like the rorters Panthers storm bunnies etc.

I went into yesterday's game with high expectations and ended up devastated.

I'm going into next week's game with low expectations and will hopefully end up pleasantly surprised.

Maybe the next week vs the Broncos but I doubt we get close to Panthers.

Panthers gonna have a field day..

That Knights side was missing their star player in Ponga, their 6 in Green, their origin winger Eddy Lee and lost Mann and Bradman Best to injury in the game.. and they still ran all over us lol.

We are at the very start of another cycle of rebuilding.. the last 3 seasons were a complete waste of time.

I don't think expecting to beat the Knights was having high expectations tbf and that just made it worse. We have a good record in Newcastle, they were missing key players, they suffered injuries...it was one of the most winnable games we will get this season and they put 30+ on us.

 

[UndeadShadowMan]

If the Knights put 32 on us missing half their backline good luck to us v a full strength Panthers outfit

the last three seasons were unfortunately necessary to endure due to how mismanaged our cap was... as a result, a lot of the errors from the previous regime (not all but a lot) we have now moved beyond

I think the club has also done well in recruitment for this year and for next year as well addressing the spine (minus hooker), the outside backs and a couple role players in the pack

however, sometimes it takes time to climb out of a big hole... more recruitment needed, more deadwood to be cut loose, greater emphasis on the junior grades and development

for now, and for the rest of 2021, I am happy for Barrett to be in charge... unless we win the spoon, I think Barrett's role need not be reviewed until early to mid 2022

 

[B-Train]

There aren't many genuine upsets with these new rules anymore and I don't see one happening next week. If we can stay competitive and address ball security and defence, then that would be a step in the right direction. Patience is needed results wise. We're in week two of another rebuild amidst a tough draw.

Our ball control was horrible . We were bad. The only thing we can debate is whether Cummins refereeing was worse than our performance.

Nasheed here,
No chance of a win, but I think we could get close/within ten of them and that is good enough for me. I’d be happy with a 26-16 type score.
