Apparently Burns has pulled out late, with suspected pneumonia but there are fears it could also be meninga****al (Spelling).

We have the Broncos/Dragons up here so we can't really hear what's going on but apparently Ch 9 commentators are discussing it.

Let's hope Travis is ok!

Should have gone with my gut feeling here! NEVER trust the Sea Eagles! Useless pack of .....

Once again Orford goes MIA when he needs to stand up and get his team home. And Jamie Lyon continues to be fat and useless. Glenn and Brett Stewart, Michael Monaghan and Anthony Watmough are the only blokes consistently earning their money. Possibly Brent Kite.

Gordon didn't play, hopefully he's not injured too badly.

Good win from the Panthers, they showed what they're capable of, although was a bit worrying towards the end.

Good work holding out Manly despite the lopsided penalty count.
Far too many stupid penalties, relieving the pressure they'd put on through some good play.

But i'll take a win however it comes!

Titans win on sunday, and i'm a happy boy!

That's a tough call CS, we are still at the top of the table. But i agree that Orford should have played better than he did, we also missed George Rose, but i have one scathing complaint and that is towards Brent Kite, why does a 6 foot 4 plus 110 kilo player always props at the line of defense, i am sick of him just stopping at the line of defence, if i was as big as him i would hit the line as hard as i could, and i can guarantee that i would break the line more than he does, which is almost never.

Kite and Thorn seem to have the same problem.

George Rose was a massive loss. Your right about Kite, very disappointing.

Maybe it was a little tough, but I just mean if everyone put in like the blokes I mentioned as consistently as they do, there would be no stopping your lot. Hasler has to realise Lyon is a centre, not a ball player, too. You need Burns back ASAP, can't believe they're putting their eggs in Orford and Lyon's basket, not making Monaghan and Burns priority signings.
