If you come for the king, you better not miss. The Panthers went into the Shire as underdogs and came out of the sheds for halftime 28 points ahead of schedule. It was a devastating demonstration of what this club is capable of, a 42-0 stomping of the upstart Sharks that will not be soon forgotten.
Despite passing the concussion test, the Sharks decided not risk Hynes because they were already down at the half. He had originally left for an HIA, when he was caught by a knee from Isaah Yeo during some friendly fire from the Blues as he tried to get back on his feet.
Michael Maguire needs to make a decision now that squads are expected to be chosen tomorrow. He has made it plain throughout the build-up that he will not choose players who are unable to fully engage in training.
