    Sorry to hear that mate.

    Keep your chin up and remember that in a few thousand billion years, everything you've ever known or loved will have boiled off into the infrared, and all of existence will be slow echoes of fading energy across a dark and empty cosmos.

    So just mutter 'this too shall pass' and enjoy the sublime beauty of impermanence!

    100%. Surely the cure for insomnia at least

    Let me know if you need anything legend. I’ll tell Matt to stop bullying you? Or we could organise booze to dress up pretty and take you out on the town? I assume with that name he knows how to party

    Good ESL stats, bought over to play a big role for the milk, and will get DPP. Played a lot of lock for Wigan, 1 game for England

    We're not taking a bunch of Raiders backs now, so can grab a forward. Raiders play a hooker bench, and Papa/Guler don't have big motors.

    And he's a mate of an NRLFF member!


    520k ain't cheap, but it isn't bad for someone who could genuinely put up 50s for 3 rounds with 50-60k cash gen, and is a shot at holding down lock long-term (big Papa to bench, Horsebro to prop makes sense if Smithies is the goods).

    I asked him if the 13 jumper is his for the season and he said he has the first few rounds to make it his with Big Red out. The heat got to him first few weeks of preseason and it's a lot tougher compared to preseason in the UK. Quite standard replies from him to be honest but it was good enough for me to put him in my team. I think the value is there and on top of that DPP should be added RD1 (he has never played EDG) and he has a really good bye schedule.

    My personal thoughts on the situation is he will be much more suited to a big minute lock due to his work rate, especially in D. This will go hand in hand with Big Red's game who is a really strong ball runner and can be used in shorter stints along with Big Papa, Tapine and the other Raiders middles. But who knows what Ricky is thinking Laugh 3

    You can think what you want. The Panthers starting line up is exactly the same as last season, in every position except for 2 injured players and Crichton who has gone. In absence of any other information, last year's line up is 100% accurate in picking the other 10 starters.

    They are the most consistent team with player selections, year after year. Winning 3 championships in a row says that it may just be a winning formula.

    the Panthers started the season with Garner at EDG last year MattNZ and Sorenson on the BENch... thanks for the clarification

    At the start of last season, they didn't have an incumbent on that EDG, which was Kikau the year before.

    Garner was given the first opportunity and had a shocker in R1, then got injured.

    Sorenson took the spot and kept it the rest of the season on merit, when all of Garner, Martin and Hosking were available. He is the incumbent and incumbent starting players at Panthers almost always retain their spot the following season, unless they have left the club or are injured.

    Preston picking up where he left off, getting a TO and OFH in the opening minutes. At least I'll have half of his teammates to reap the rewards.

    Sign of greatness. Benji would throw the odd one into the 6th row too.

    G’day kents! Getting close now, few people getting a bit antsy.

    Have I missed anything of note in the last 20 pages? Had to skip a few to get past the bickering but don’t want to miss out on 2024’s Tommy Talau.
