Round 4 2013: PANTHERS vs TITANS

[DIEHARD]

Penrith Panthers vs Gold Coast Titans

Sunday March 31 3:00 PM - Centrebet Stadium

[Boofhead]

8 day turn around has come at a good time, were some tired legs out there. A match off might do the world of good for Harro with origin just around the corner.

We're gunna get Steamrolled..

Ah-ha the old reverse psychology trick no complacency and we'll be competitive again. The Souffs game today should give us a benchmark.

[Julius Sezer]

We need to smash these bunch of chickpeas. It would do a whole lot of good for our for and against.

[thelwall]

we have the chance to win the next 8 games easy

we need to win as many games as possible because our run home is going to be difficult.

Yup, after hearing a from a couple of players (post game) this year, it seems to be their approach as well.

And personally, I wouldn't be that upset if we didn't make the top 8 this year. Just as long as the guys gel this year, to eventually build to be a formidable team in 2014 and beyond.

Id be shocked if we didnt make the 8 this yr.

Looking at the first 3 rds, there are 4/5 very ordinary teams in the comp

Yeah, for sure. Going by our early stats this year, we're well ahead of some of the usual front runners. Three Rounds in, we do look like serious contenders.

But to be closer to the point to my previous comment. I was basically putting it out there that I don't particular care where we end up this year. Just as long as the team comes together. Though here we are, only the 3rd round in, the guys have gelled quite well already.

Only minor downside I could draw on yesterday's match. Was the lads looked a lil' rattled when Manly started to make their comeback in the 2nd half. A few panic maneuvers in Defense for a handful of minutes. But the lads seemed to find their composure once again, and got on with it. If that happened in either 2011 or 2012 with us, it would've thrown some of our guys for the rest of the match, in some cases.

To me, they're the promising signs that we've got something good coming together in 2013.

I know what u mean by a few minutes of panic. But the re shuffle was a bit crazy and caused most of it. Taka went off, and we moved Albert to fullback , bird to 5/8th and ridge to centre or something. It was a weird re shuffle and lucky we rallied to fight of the challenge.

As good as rabbitohs have been playing... i doubt they will challenge later on in the season, we look a lot better

As good as the rabbits have been playing... I'm pretty sure the rabbits would be filthy with how they have been playing. They are a much better side than they are showing right now and they are still 3-0 with 2 wins over likely top 8 sides.

Rabbits will fine tune and be top 2 or 3 by years end.

I think we can match them for sure, but they will prove to be a pretty super side.

Kelly should've shifted to Centre. He is our utility in case of backline injury with Srama to move to half and Falloon to play hooker. Not sure why he was pushed to fullback and I reckon Zillman would've stopped one of Manly's tries had he have been back there instead of Kelly.
