The Panthers were abruptly woken from the recent complacency as the Cubs stripped and recovered the ball on the opening play of the game and marched it in for the score. The Panthers came straight back and scored on a deep pass on the next play from scrimmage. From then on, the score differential was never greater than 10 points. At the half, the Panthers had a narrow 2 point lead, but the Cubs fired out of the gates and grabbed the lead. With 10 minutes left, the Panthers were down 2 scores, but the defence dug deep and forced the Cubs to punt. After a long tough march to the endzone, we were back within 2 points. The defence once again came up big and forced the turnover as the Cubs tried to win the game on a long 4th down at mid-field. After a Timeout by the Cubs, we had a 60 second running clock to score. The first play was broken up bya stout defensive secondary, but as the Panthers hurried back to the line, the Cubs struggled to line up and Receiver Aidan Young-Bowman got the jump on his cornerback. Theo Ott stepped up in the pocket and delivered a perfect spiral to win the game with no time left. Sealing the Panthers 5th place going into their first playoff appearance. 40 - 34.

After a last minute change in schedule, some of the heart and passion we had hoped to see in the innaugural Predator Bowl was squandered as the game was moved from our home field to Kyeemagh. Venue aside, the game was fought valiantly on both sides, but in the end the experience of the Panthers proved to strong for the Jaguars. 54 - 0.

After a dominant performance against the Seahawks, the Panthers came out strong and put the game away early. A strong performance from Jack 'Mamba' Marton and Theo Ott rolled over the Chiefs to create huge score and momentum advantage going into the second half. We used this time to try out a few different play options and work out the kinks in the offensive system. Panthers over Chiefs. 40 - 14.

After 3 tough losses on the road, the panthers used the easter break to reload and re-focus. QB Michael Candiloro returned for his first game back after suffering an ankle injury in the season opener. After an average starting few series, the offense found its rythm and put up 3 quick scores, utilising their powerful passing game to diminish any remaining fight from the seahawks and shut them out for the entire second half. Panthers over Seahawks, 34 - 12.

Once again under-prepared, down players and coaches due to draw re-scheduling, the Panthers started off slow and truggled to pull any momentum in the first half without their offensive coordinators. A strong Trojans running attack proved hard to contain for a tired and unspirited Panthers defense. Whilst the tempo picked up, once Alex de Pyper and Myself arrived back from the NSW v QLD AGL match, and points started to pile in our favour with the help of some cheeky kick-offs, the clock ultimately beat us. Trojans over Panthers, 52 - 36.

Once again missing players on a Saturday, the Panthers were also missing half their coaching staff to the NSW Wolfpack v Victoria Eagles game. QB Theo Ott showed exceptional experience and leadership in managing the Panthers offense against last year's champion Brumbies, putting up 3 TD. Unfortunately, lacking in numbers, the Panthers were worn down by the run to just a 2 TD defeat. Brumbies over Panthers, 32 - 18.

The introduction of saturday games within the colts have always proven difficult for the sydney based teams as a lot of players have other sporting commitments to attend to. After a long drive up the coast and missing their starting RB and MLB/SS, the Panthers never seemed to spark as a team, despite an opening kick-off return TD by Australian Representative, Jack Marton. The theme of the game was the Panthers coming up one play short. Our defense would hold the Central Coast offense to a short 4th down on several occasions, but struggled to put up those final efforts to turn the ball over, with several calls going the other way. Our offense fought valiantly but lacked the consistency to wear down the opposition's defense with our ability to spread the field on a suspiciosly narrow field. The Sharks powerful running saw them victorious 34 - 12.

The Jaguars put on a very impressive display of heart and talent in the whole teams first ever game. The whole team showed incredible resilience against a much bigger and experienced, West Sydney Trojans. The defense struggled to contain the Trojans athletic runningback on the sidelines. The offense played with tremendous execution on the ground and especially in the air. Special mention must go to Campbell Duffy, Aaron Deeath, Chris Walker and the entire O-Line who came together for an honorable 14 points. All in all the Jags should be commended an outstanding performance for a team of all freshman. As I explained our clubs first junior game ever went for a 76-0 thumping and we didn't score a point until the 7th game and it was on Defense! So they are performing leaps and bounds above anything we could have expected. Heads up Jaguars, stay low and keep those feet moving. Gridiron is about determination, persistence and heart!

The Panthers went out with a chip on their shoulder and came out firing on all cylinders. After a key first defensive stand and a 30yd touchdown to open the first offensive possession, the Titans struggled to keep up with a Panthers offense that was almost flawless. The defense improved exponentially from last week and kept the Titans to an impressive 18 points with which I would like to nominate MVPs but it would have to be all of them. In the end, the Panthers cruised to a 58-18 victory. The Panthers sending a clear message to the league that they are in the hunt for their first Waratah Bowl Trophy.

The final score doesn't reflect the game. Panthers were up 22-20 at the half. But struggled to keep the intensity up late in the second with some nagging injuries. All in all a buzzer beater touchdown put the raiders up 42-28.
