Preparing The Panthers

[Captain Ibis]

Just wondering if any of you saw any of this series? I know it's not our team, but since the Dogs are out I thought it would be interesting to suss these videos out and get an idea of what Penrith's pre-season was like seeing as their assistant coach will be our head coach in 2021... There is always a lot of emphasis on the inexperience of our squad, but the Panthers are about to go into a GF featuring multiple players who are in their rookie or second NRL season...

You've got to think that our guys are going to have one of their toughest pre seasons in years... no way Trent will go from the experience at Penrith, seeing what their players did, to whatever the heck we've been doing here during our pre seasons over the last 5 years.

well Howard if they dont like it they can always leave. lets face it our team had enough trouble with basics did anyone teach them how to actually catch a ball and not knock on.

I think they will be right... once you get to that level you've pretty much told yourself that you're down for the cause... the only thing, and mainly for our younger guys, is that they don't know any better than what they have experienced.. the team has been starved of a real coach, and quality staff... an overhaul is the best thing that has happened here in a long time

Showing signs of life in the club after 2 almost dead years I reckon.

Just took making a few dinosaurs extinct to do it!

I'd expect to see some good things from David Tangata-Toa too sa the Pathways manager. Comes with a solid list of credentials and will be working to move players around our junior ranks and prepare them for NRL.
