Steelers Vs Panthers - Pre-Season Friendly Weekend

Disappointing there's no Connolly tonight.

Saving him for a further week after nearly a year out doesn't make sense to me. He needs to get some game time under his belt. If they then say he's not ready then again it suggests his re-signing continues to be a big gamble.

Underway in game two and it’s another first minute goal for Nottingham, 1-0 after 23 seconds.

Adam Brady the scorer.

Our first shift needs rectifying ASAP.

Terrible face offs that shift in the D zone with the centre falling flat on his face a la Polak last year.

Poor first ten, came onto game second ten. Petgrave and Raska look the business already.

Our so called first line players need to start stepping up Neumann has so far cost us a goal and is becoming a liability. I can’t help but think he’s a player who doesn’t suit the big ice or step up in quality his positioning is worryingly bad.
Ciampini seems to relish in a playmaking role on the PP he’s meant to be our sniper let’s hope it is a chemistry imbalance of lines at present. Allen been very quiet both games so far we need to start seeing more of what they can do.

Both D men got caught going to the corner for the goal, but face offs definitely need work. Pitule particularly poor on them.

Better last 10. Can't believe Dowd fanned that one timer after Petgrave made a lovely play. 2 weeks down the line that's a goal 9 times out of 10.

Petgrave standing out, Raska too.

Looks like second game of back to back for both teams, not quite as quick as last night

I can see Neumann being moved to wing from centre. Think he needs to get used to the game over here without the added pressure of playing centre. He's got the skill, but needs to adjust to the league and Fox's systems.

I dont want to speak too soon but Greenfield sounds like an absolute gem of a tender.

Good PK, which we’ll need throughout the season, especially when Sewell is in charge.

Special teams been good so far this weekend.
