almost full strength, interesting to see how Dargan goes.

 

[emjaycee]

I like the look of our side.
Be interested to see how Dargan goes against the grown ups and how Kaysa handles potentially 80 mins in the 9.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

So Dargan at this stage is in front of Fogarty (reckon Robson will be first half back up)

And Pritchard is in front of King.

De Gois / Norman not playing.

Don't reckon he will play 80mins, the bench will be extended on game day and King/Robson will get some time there.

I think that's an assumption, maybe we just want to see how much his game has matured, if at all.

He could do that by just playing NSW cup considering he has hardly played in that grade.

I think BA wants to look at him now rather than wait till the season starts. We saw plenty of the Fog in the 9s, although it was only the 9s. Dargan didn't get a run at all.

He may just want to see if he is worth persevering with or he has to go out an buy another half, like Sterlo says.

I really dont know but that would be my guess.

Similar to my guess. BA might want to see him as the team might struggle without a decent kicker, thus Gutho is most under threat.

Alas there will be no live stream for any of the games on Saturday. Sorry guys, I tried.

Looking forward to the games though and I will be live updating them if it is any consolation. Holden Cup will be a great test for our young team as Penrith are almost always a handful in that grade. Quite a few of the ISP players should back up into the NRL trial if recent years are any gauge to go on.

Is De gois injured?

 

[hineyrulz]

Dargan preferred over Fog, I was totally underwhelmed by the Fog at the nines and it sounds like Dargan outplayed him against the Titans.

Maybe BA sees enough in Dargan to fast track him into first grade by next season??? That's a strong Panthers side should be a really good test to see where we are at.

 

[parra-matters]

Both pretty strong sides, no norman for us make the panthers a little stronger.
If both the teams named play the bulk of the match Panthers would be favorites.
Not worried about the result in anycase it's gets match fitness and player combos that counts.
