In a classic move reminiscent of rugby league legends, Panthers head honcho Ivan Cleary has made changes to his squad for the upcoming clash against the Wests Tigers in the Royce Simmons Cup at Carrington Park, Bathurst.
Newcomer Paul Alamoti is set to make his grand club debut in the centres, a move that has fans buzzing with excitement.
However, unfortunate circumstances will see Taylan May sitting this one out due to a personal matter.
The return of Scott Sorensen to the lineup after overcoming a knee injury is sure to bolster the team, with Luke Garner shifting to the interchange in a strategic play.
In a blow to the Panthers, star player Nathan Cleary will once again be sidelined with a nagging hamstring injury, paving the way for Brad Schneider to step up and take on the role of partnering Jarome Luai in the halves, a position he's keen to make his own.
With these changes in place, the Panthers are gearing up for a showdown that promises to be filled with hard hits, strategic plays, and heart-stopping moments that embody the spirit of rugby league.
The battle lines are drawn, and the Panthers are ready to do whatever it takes to come out on top in this must-win match.
