    Wouldn't surprise me if the Penrith Council decided to go back to the original. Having a sponsor though would help keep the stadium financially stable though. It will probably be something ****ed like Tony Ferguson :laugh:

    I think last year was our chance to come from nowhere and win it, injuries hit at crucial times and Elliots retardation reared it's ugly head at bad times.

    I think getting eliminated in week 2 will have damaged the sides confidence a bit after finishing second. Petero will most likely decline through the year, hopefully Grant and McKendry continue to emerge as props of the future. Really need this Seluni to be a gun to imo, the side lacks a bit of spark.

    Naming rights changing is pretty big news tbf.... especially in the in the off-season.

    Yeah I agree Sultan. The side does lack spark but I don't think it is any worse than last season. The core of the side is still around. The backline is no weaker nor stronger. The same halves are still around but I am hoping Taumata can finally realise his potential.
    The only area I believe is weaker is he backrow but only just. Having someone like Worrincy could actually change this though and he may actually surprise. We don't have a solid backup like Cooper anymore though. Smith will do the job but then Yileen Gordon isn't necessarily solid, more inconsistent than anything.

    It will be interesting, I still have faith though.

    Nah it's definitely possible for you to finish outside the eight without blaming the coach. I don't think it's likely, but it's definitely possible. The comp is so close that having a player or two decline sharply or get injured or have a poor patch of form, particularly if it's someone like Walsh or Coote, could see you fall to lower mid table easily. Tbh, even just boned luck could do it.

    In the off-season it is.... and this is in the Penrith Panthers thread so it is big news for Penrith fans not for you. You don't have to read or comment.

    Have never ever lived in Penrith and I am happy to admit that. Doesn't matter where you live. Penrith is in fact the closest of the teams to my hometown.

    Broncos are a pretty good chance for the spoon.

    I think Penrith will end up around 9th and lose most of their close games.

    Take note... appears it isn't just the fans.

    PANTHERS star point-scorer Michael "Flash" Gordon is expected to make a move to the centres for next season.

    The speedy goalkicker was a revelation for the Panthers when he filled in at fullback for the injured Lachlan Coote this season and coach Matthew Elliott does not want to lose Gordon's ability to break open opposition defensive lines by putting him back on the wing.

    Up-and-coming 21-year-old Sandor Earl, who scored one of the tries of the season in the Panthers' qualifying final loss to the Raiders this year, is understood to be the frontrunner to get a fulltime spot on the wing next to Gordon on the Panthers' right side.

    http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...ers-heavy-burden/story-e6freye0-1225973566569

    That means that the side is going to look something like:

    1. Lachlan Coote
    2. Sandor Earl
    3. Michael Jennings
    4. Michael Gordon
    5. Adrian Purtell/Brad Tighe/Ryan Walker/Shane Elford/David Simmons
    6. Arana Taumata
    7. Luke Walsh
    8. Tim Grant
    9. Kevin Kingston
    10. Petero Civoniceva
    11. Trent Waterhouse
    12. Michael Worrincy/Nathan Smith
    13. Luke Lewis

    14. Nafe Seluini/Masada Iosefa
    15. Matthew Bell
    16. Sam McKendry
    17. Yileen Gordon/Daine Laurie/Joseph Paulo or any other player that goes good in pre-season and trials.

    The core of that side is the same as last year just with a few changes. I think the halves could potentially be better with Taumata there considering he has a lot more creativity than Burns. Backline is reasonably strong, that last wing spot though is wide open. Second row is a lot weaker this year as well and it will be interesting to see who gets that spot.
