The Panthers have some of the best depth in the comp, despite looking weak on paper all season they are sitting top 4. I'm a bit worried about this one, seems like an easy trip up game against an under powered team. No halves certainly helps us and our defense.
With no
Harris we lose a bit of strike, he has been
Shaun Johnson's go to all season.
Hiku will likely move into the right centre spot again, which could mean some even weaker D down
Harris' side. Assuming Mannering will slot in, who has looked a bit slow motion this season.
Afoa out hurts our bench rotation, he has been doing nicely this season with leg drive through the line and getting on the front foot. I don't think Satae has anything near the same impact if he steps into this role.
I'm still confident, but cautious. We know what happened last time we were there...
