U20's - Seems like a blow away, just wait 5 mins.

 

[sus]

well the ol sun-in-the-eyes at half time trick might just do a trick

2 quick tries in the shady left corner and its a bit of a game after all..

 

[sus]

Why is Peter Wallace playing Hooker? Griffin tried that at Brisbane and it didn't work too well.

 

[sus]

lol swear he's trying to squeeze him out there too

 

[sus]

nah i can see why i spose, but the peachy to 2R stinks of the mccullough experiment.. god help hook if he wants to keep the 'great job at the great club'

haha sweet as a nut

Why is Peter Wallace playing Hooker? Griffin tried that at Brisbane and it didn't work too well.

They don't really have anyone else, and he actually played better there than in the halves last time.

 

[Brett]

I haven't watched much of the Panthers this year, so I'll have to take your word for it. I can't see him playing anywhere near 80 minutes.

 

[Unbreakable]

Panthers beat the Broncos 48-16 in the NYC, let's hope our first grade squad fairs better.

 

[Big Pete]

Wallace's performance last week was actually better than Segeyaro's in Round 1. The key for Wallace is that he keeps it simple. He gets his forwards over the advantage line and usually compliments that with an inside ball so he can give Soward as much time as possible on the last.

Segs on the other hand is constantly judging whether he should run or pass. That split second throws everything off for Penrith and they usually waddle around as a result.

No surprises with the side from Griffin. I expect a better performance from them than last week. The inclusion of Smith and Martin suggests they'll be more creative with the footy. It's just a matter of whether their defence can hold the Broncos out.

 

[Rally Towel]

Merrin is a big out for them.

Taylor can match him for work rate in defence but that's about it. Much less grunt in attack and lacks the same ability to offload.

 

[Bull Shark]

love it how any team that's won 30% or better all time against the broncos has "a terrrrrr-iffic record against the broncos" ... commentators really are stupid sometimes

 

[broncos4life]

So what did we do to Vossy? The hate seems strong.
