I would say you have a good team, not a great team. With the players you have you should be making the top 8, but I don't think you are a contender for the premiership.

You miss ball playing forwards like Puletua and Galavau (is that how you spell it?) and right now I think guys like Clinton and Waterhouse are badly out of form.

The Panthers also seem very one dimensional in attack. Every attacking set of six is pretty much either Gower or Campbell running across the field and the only bloke that consistently breaks the line is Rhys Wesser.
