Round 7 Vs the Sharks

[PANTHERMIKE]

I think this will be the most "mouth-watering" aspect of the game this Sunday.

I'm expecting RCG and JFH to get themselves reacquainted with their former captain!

Merrin also..... Can't wait!

For the record UP even after sundays game I would of agreed with you re Peach until I read that article, after reading I really doubt Peach would be in the halves if Maloney didn't want him there and keeping jimmy happy and in form is a big key to our season.

I’m comfortable sticking with a winning formula, but Luai is “very ordinary”?!

Everything I’ve read says he’s been playing well this season, plenty of try assists & 4 tries in the 5 games he’s played.

Watch the NSW Cup replay through the week you will see

 

[franklin2323]

our record against the gummies:


played 88 won 38 drawn 3 lost 47 44.88% winning percentage

Pretty poor!!!!!

at their home ground

played 46 won 15 drawn 3 lost 28 winning percentage 35.86%

They always go well against us even when they are shit

I strongly suspect that Trent will be looking forward to saying hello!

Tom.

Which kind of brings us back to how Cleary & Maloney work when Cleary is back from injury.

That’s going to be really interesting to see how they gel

Yeah this will be interesting. I think by that stage Maloney will be firmly in control of the side for half a season so it should be ok.

Anyone reckon Cleary is more likely to stay after the opening 6 rounds?

Brooks has proved himself this season as being a decent 7 and deserves to be ahead of Cleary as far as their future goes.

Tigers aren't the threat. Its Brisbane and Easts imo

The better Brooks goes for the Tigers will be better for us. Both Cleary's have said any plans of them being at the same club will depend on a lot of things and one of things is timing.

Hopefully well. Unlike the Cowboys halves atm. Morgan took his game to another level last year and now they can't get back to the status quo they had before with JT.
They are not balancing the play making duties well. That said their forward pack isn't doing them any favours.

He wouldn't need to teach Cleary through the games either. Seems to want everyone to learn their part so it works. Cleary is great at following a game plan it is the off the cuff he fails with. Maloney should have an understanding with Edwards that they can handle that side of it

 

[OldPanther]

I'm pretty comfortable about this game.

I don't see why Luai can't do what Peachey does but with a better passing and kicking game.

No one says Luai can't do it. Luai isn't exactly playing well. Anyone that watched the NSW Cup game on ch9 3 weeks ago or this week? Thoughts on his game?

We scored 33 and 35 in 2 of the 3 games. While that is the case there is no need to move Peachey

Because he is a rookie, Peach has played 100 games. This isn't about what Peach is doing with the ball in his hands, its about how the team plays and gets around the park and keeping Maloney free as much as possible.

There is every chance Luai could do it but its would likely require someone helping and talking to him throughout the game which would be Maloney and Wallace.

Id argue that Peach actually makes Jimmy do more though but if its what he wants and we are getting results then whatever

I didn't see the games.

I don't have a problem with Peachey as long as he doesn't get too creative I just figure everyone on here and elsewhere I've spoken to rates Luai which is why I figured he'd get a go but instead we have top 30 dead weight.

 

[herbert henry1908]

I kinda feel like we need Peachey out there for a bit of strike power anyway. Not a heap of speed in our backline. Closer to the middle he’s less of a liability in defence, seems to be working ok.

For the love of the footy gods just don't kick it!

When sauce went off last week peach shifted to centre and Katoa went on at 6. That’s what I like aboutKatoa, Egan is the better hooking prospect but for that bench spot Sione covers a lot of spots. Halves, lock, edge back row he could slot in all those spots in a pinch.
