PRE-GAME [Round 1, 2023] Panthers vs Broncos

[MrMoore]

The nswrl won't let them start with a loss, it won't look good for them to be beaten by the Broncos after St Helens. They got a 3rd premiership in a row to win.

NOTHING MEANS NOTHING!

 

[Mum-the-meatloaf]

I think we will be very competitive at the start of the year. Playing off the embarrassment of last year.

I think if we play at 85+% of our potential, we win. The issue with the broncos is there are big gaps between our best and worst.

I also hold little faith in the officiating when playing Penrith. The Taylan May fiasco last year confirmed the NRL bias for the Panthers, you never know though, they may have a new agenda that rhymes with smesmorphins.

There won’t be Taylan May for 2023 as he’s out for season. Irrespective of him in their side or not, we will get them this year starting R1.

Paul Welens had his robust team up in their face all night in defence which unsettled Penny. Should Kevin and staff be able to extract enough stamina and confidence likewise, I don’t see why there would be a dissimilar result.

Broncs by a point.

Such defeatist, excuse making bullshit. The NRL would love Brisbane to be a powerhouse winning comps as we have one of the largest fan bases, and bring the most eyes to the game. To think there is an agenda against us is so childish.

The fans still turn up when we are shit which is why the NRL don't give a **** about us. If we dropped massively in the ratings then they would be concerned but we are that hate people legitimately watch us to see us lose or if we do well its our fans turning up in droves to watch us. We are big enough now to have no ***** given how we perform in the eyes of the NRL - sort of like Collingwood in the AFL.

Unless something drastic has changed with our defence over the offseason, we are one of the sides least likely to defend like that

No sign of any significant change in that regard during the trials

Training v Souths Logan about to start. Kevvie training more under lights and more “games.”

It’s logical. Most our games are at night. Fighters train at the time of day their fight is scheduled for so they’re circadian rhythm is properly aligned.

Anyone standing out yet?

Anyone standing out yet?

Willison and Piakura probably, both are always injured.

 

[Shane Tronc]

Sailor looked super sharp on souths Logan side. Talks a lot in defence vs Cobbo who’s pretty quiet. Reynolds was sharp as well

 

[Loch Ness Monster]

Reece Walsh sighting?

Reece Walsh sighting?

Not great as he injured his eye. *I'll show myself out*
