Round 10 - Panthers vs Broncos - Build Up Thread

[mrslong]

His eye popped out of the socket....thanks so much Mitchell Dodds. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Not sure of the Norman hate on this forum. He looks silky smooth to me, raw but massive potential. You haters will be eating your words when he cements a spot in the halves next year.

When the hell is Hoffman coming back??

you are a retard, Nobody hates Norman they just don't think him on the bench is good. Him playing at 5/8th yep great anywhere else massive fail.

I hate Norman.

I don't give two hoots if he's being played out of position. Fact is. When I have seen him in my team's colours, he has been useless apart from maybe one or two games.

So yeah. I hate him. And will continue to hate him until such time as he actually plays a few decent games. But I don't see it.

Broncos will keep playing him out of position, and his confidence will be up to shit, and we'll have another "potential" dud on our books.

 

[Charmamba]

You hate everyone Nashy, So you don't count ;)

 

[Porthoz]

I thought Norman went okay against the Storm, much better than Hunt imo, that's for sure.
I don't like his nonchalant behaviour generally and would like to see more effort from him, but can't really fault him last Saturday...

 

[Old Mate]

Where did Lockyer play when he used to come off the bench? Really rate Norman, much more than Hunt at this stage anyway.

 

[PETERN]

He played in the halves didn't he..?

On the other hand, excited for this game! Making the drive down to Penrith, the weather is going to be freeeeezing!

If it was anything like today it will be, it was sleeting today and windy as down here. I really hope the Broncos FLOG the Pussies by heaps and give our for and against a boost. I'm tipping the score to be 32-10 but hope its more!

Am I the only one who has a bad feeling about tonight's game?

Ergh, don't say that...now I've got a bad feeling about it. :|

 

[nathano11]

Yeh it's a bit of a danger game isn't it. I get that feeling because we lost last week, but hopefully that was just a hiccup and we put it together. I don't think we really let any bad habbits set in last week and Griffin will have our defence primed after we let in a couple of soft tries. I expect Brisbane to win comfortably. You don't sound confident

 

[Coxy]

I have this feeling Penrith is going to pull something out to show their new football boss what they can do.

 

[jarro65]

Hook will have them primed for a big game. We can't afford to go into the bye on the back of another loss, it'd undo a lot of the good work we've done so far this year.

If they take in the attitude they've had all this year then they should win the game easily IMO

 

[nathano11]

Yeh, I expect them to be tougher than they have been but I reckon Broncos will be ready for it. We were really in the trenches last week and with our stars back, who haven't tasted defeat for 8 weeks, I just get the feeling we've forgotten how to lose, like the opposite to a form slump where you forget how to win. If we get off to a lead it will take the sting out of the Panthers, and we can defend the lead. Only chance they have is to ambush us at the start. But remember Broncos players are playing for Origin spots

 

[nathano11]

I'll stick by my forecast of Broncos 32 Panthers 10. Expect Ben Hannant to have a massive game

 

[Porthoz]

Looking at their line-up, only the front rowers are up to standard. Lewis just back from injury and no Coote or Jennings to worry about, only Gordon really... [icon_shru

 

[nathano11]

Yeh they'll fold after 20 minutes of sticking with us. Then we'll pull away and choke them out of the game. I'm super confident now

 

[Bucking Beads]

I want us to have a big win, we are due for one. We are also due a bad performance but hopefully hook has erased them altogether.

You're not the only one. I even transferred Parker out of my Fantasy team and Gordon in for preperation! [icon_ee
