Right now this team looks the worse coached in the NRL.
Even Newcastle seem to have some plan which keep them in a lot of games. You have to beat them. They do not beat themselves.
Panthers just have no cohesion or game plan. Not even a simple one. I have no idea what the coach is telling the players.
There is a good team in there thou. And from what I see it is about getting the old heads together. HIKU is the local scapegoat but was one of your best. His finish for the try was great and ran for 136 mtrs.
Players who must stay in team are guys like Hiku. This CHN guy stays to. Both have energy. Ive said this before that the panthers have to many players who razzle dazzle and don't go forward. Peachey in open games is sensational. But in your tight tough grinds he offers a lot less then tough guys. Moylan has so much more skill then Tmm and Cleary. He should be given first preference where to play. If halves suit him best then move him.
Cartwright at this stage is a bench player. Not tough enough to start. And is not a 5/8. Why didn't Moylan go there and Hiku to fullback or DWZ with Peachey in centres?
I feel like a few small changes and the team will click.
You speak a lot of sense but our coach doesn't see it.
Still many of us in here have been calling for Moylan to 5/8 for over a year, it's clear he's a half and not a fullback. My feeling is that hook dug his heels in so deep on this he can't go back on it because he'll look like an idiot.
Re Hiku he's fine in the team, it just needs to be in the right position. And he found that as a running winger. He's not a centre and he's certainly not a bench forward.
I can't see how the major selection issues change whilst Griffin is still coach.
He'll always put Cartwright at 5/8 over Moylan
He'll always stand by Tamou
He'll always select bizarre benches
He'll always overcoach the halves
I mean the man benches 3 players for disciplinary reasons but seemingly won't dump any top paid players for poor form. It doesn't make sense!
