Don't see paps doing 80 minutes at fullback at nrl level this year. Especially given the lift in intensity that comes in the finals.
Best case i think he'll be used as an impact player, which could actually be a better result than trying to rush him into fulltime fullback duties

Bellamy mentioned in the presser that they used the garlick/grant combo as a way to negate Canberra's tactic of putting a lot of traffic through grant early to get his tackle count up and tire him out. Seems to have worked well, and I dare say it gets used a time or during the rest of this year's ca...

Good effort to keep the Raiders tryless, the win and scoreline should give the side a bit of a confidence boost.
That said, the Raiders only beat the tigers by an incorrectly awarded try last week, so hopefully they don't get too cocky

Farcical ... they based it on the people involved and the lack of injury rather than the offence committed. If nas had have done that to luai he'd be having an enforced holiday

I would love for us to compete for high balls on the last (don’t think we did once tonight). We don’t give ourselves a chance of coming up with the pill or pressuring for an error. I assume it is a defensive tactic to avoid being burned if our jumpers are beaten (which has happened in the past), bu...

What’s embarrassing is when one eyed supporters are unable to admit the team is playing poorly, but keep deluding yourself into believing this was a good effort champ. OK champ, you keep looking for the negative if that makes you happy. Considering the mountain of possession the panthers had in the...

What's embarrassing is how much you're throwing your toys out of the cot.
The second half has been a pretty good effort all things considered

As much as it hurts to admit it, barring a string of injuries and suspensions, Penrith look like a deadset lock for the threepeat.... utterly relentless

Wishy has a big heart, but putting him on the wing just isn't doing him or the team any favours.

Young to wing, eisenhuth to center

Would say it’s poor discipline rather that laziness. Penrith are so relentless and we’ve struggled to handle how fast they are once they got on top. They are a nightmare matchup for us. Yes, this exactly! The guys were gassed. If it was set for set, they'd be hanging in there, or even leading. But ...

No mate, exhausted, the possession the panthers have had has been obscene. Melbourne haven't helped themselves in terms of discipline, but the ref is giving some very very soft calls in favour of the panthers too

On a positive note gee young is playing well so far

8 out of the last 10 sets to the panthers... you can't win a footy game with that kind of possession.

We're going to struggle on the edge with wishart playing wing unfortunately

A way better result than expected, pretty happy with the turn around after last week's poor showing. As others have said, tepai looked good as did katoa. Seve has some serious muscle going on, given his performance last night, maybe he's a more realistic long term option for center than many of us t...

The strip one was 50/50. Parra definitely had a hand pulling at the ball. Then we don’t get the call when Parra put the kick in and get a 6 again call. Klein is never going to give us a break, but our defence needs to be better than… butter. That's it though, you don't piss your challenge up the wa...
