Triple M's Ryan Girdler has given a stinging review of the Panthers 2017 season, after their semi-final exit at the hands of the Broncos.
"I was really disappointed," Girdler said.
"The fact they haven't worked on and be able to change what they were poor at (this season), it's a poor end to the season for them." Listen to the full audio below.
"They have a roster that should be competing this time of year."
Girdler who was part of the Panthers 2003 premiership winning side, admitted the Panthers were a poorly coached side lacking a killer game plan.
"Penrith were the dominate side for probably 60 minutes with the football," he said.
"But once they get into field position they become clueless."
"They were poorly coached last night, they didn't go into that game with an idea of how to break Brisbane down."
"They went in to do what Penrith have been doing all year, which hasn't been good enough against the better sides."
