    Bulls Panthers Round 1 Preview

    The Bulls open up at home against the Panthers in a tough first round encounter.

    The Bulls could have as many as 5 new faces in the side as Selwood, Hill, Mayes, Wellingham & Wood all vying for a debut. Reigning B&F Coniglio faces a delayed start to 2017 whilst boom recruit McCluggage remains 2-3 weeks away with an ankle. Big Roughy will look to play his first game since the end of 2015.

    For the Panthers a much more settled off season trading Membrey out and bringing in 2 quality kids in Brodie & Simpkin. Ben Reid will look to return to an all star defensive line and will Nankervis take over as number one ruck from Lobbe?

    Head to Head
    Bulls 2
    Panthers 1

    Last Time they Met
    Bulls 1239
    Panthers 1146

    We await the teams to be announced later in the week.

    Out at Coolgardie, and 1/9th of the way through the game against the visiting @ddsaints Pakenham Parasites its:
    Coolgardie 94 / 1 / 94
    Pakenham 107 / 2* / 53.5 *Emergency may take non-scoring players' spot

    Looks like its been a good start to the year for the two Blue boys out on the park, while the yellow and black man decided not to turn up.
    Is it bad form to let the coach know that he still has a couple of hours to find a defender, seeing as his emergency is not named (unless I've read the team sheets incorrectly!)??? I'd prefer a fair fight, than to beat an undermanned team.

    Don't think Paky can get his emergency cause J Short was never named and that is now banned.

    Yeah, This is where I'm not against the whole "loophole" idea. If he wants to select another def emg then I'm ok with that, and we still haven't had lockout. its not exactly a loophole, as he doesn't have a high scoring emergency that he's now going to use by selecting a non-starting player onfield, but yeah, its a second chance...

    Update from the dead rubber sees @bryzza 's hometown Vikings 227/3/76 trailing their local rivals the Sandgropers 253/3/84. The visitors are digging in but with two players missing the bus they'll have to be pretty good at pushing sh1t uphill to win this one.

    With a few Buffaloes forgetting that the season had started and failing to show up for the game, the match over here in the Serengeti has turned into a ding-dong battle

    Currently Serengeti hold the slightest of leads 848/12/70.67 v Gisborne 704/10/70.4

    With the likes of Dangerfield and Josh Kelly facing off against Lachie Neale and Chris Masten deep into this contest, it is sure to go right down to the wire. If the Buffaloes do go down, there are sure to be questions asked of players and team management alike for not being able to get the squad ready for the start of the season.
