Round 7 v Dolphins (Darwin)

[Fangs]

Could be a tricky one.

Its Darwin for starters. Also the Dolphins have sparkling attack when they get it right. We play like we did against the Dogs and we will get towelled.

Casey likely gone unless we contest. Alamoti centre and Tago back in. Garner another option at left centre.

Liam Martin? No idea but I assume a week for him. Maybe Going joins the bench.

All eyes on the Belmore sports ground tonight. Liam Henry is playing. He could push for a spot in the side too.

RIP dolphins. Each premiership year had 1 embarrassing loss i guess they wanted it out of the way early. Ivan is usually pretty good at turning around these things.

 

[Chins]

Tago in for the suspended McLean.

And Kenny can ride the pine for Freddy to start

 

[Bred not Bought]

Good game to bounce back.

Chins, Good idea. Should Penrith bring in Ivan QC for Casey's tackle or not ?

Nah no mitigating circumstances this time. Take the week and move on

Fair enough. The bloke's got a broken jaw too. A week on the pines won't hurt Casey. Let him have a breather.

Nah, that's what Tago is for. Hopefully he plays out of his skin for a starting spot again.

I hope so too. I was very impressed with Lussick last weekend. I thought he had quite the complete game.

Also need to have a decent bodyguard for Blaize so he's not caught out attempting to tackle 2nd rowers one on one.

 

[John Hamblin]

When Casey comes back we should think about giving To'o a rest. Cleary said when they replaced him early against the Eels he had some niggles. He is lacking his usual impact so a week or two on the sidelines would be beneficial

 

[Girds89]

No changes other than the forced ones.

Tago in.. thats it.

The effort needs to improve x100.

We need another front rower, whether Henry is fit enough to return I’m not sure but his stint of the bench tonight was pretty good.

Papalli’i was our best forward last night again, he had a handling error but he wasn’t alone there. Moses decent, tried hard but probably player more minutes than he is used too. Other than those two we were dominated.

Im not sure Tom Ale is up to NRL week in week out but he he is doing in pretty decent job in Cup. Lurton had a really good stint tonight as well but he needs some strong form over a number of weeks before being considered for a return.

Tupounioa was a beast of the bench last night for the dogs, made a huge impact with his powerful carries. We just didn’t have the same impact from our bench players.

 

[Oldpanther86]

I still like cleary backing himself with slightly more adventurous play. He'll get better at spotting the right moments for the right plays. It was the necessary next step for his game.

No Origin for Liam then. Could be a blessing in disguise for us. Keeps him fresh for the back end of the year.

He'll miss the first game, might be OK for the 2nd if they want to pick him.

From vision I saw looked like initial contact was King's shoulder in Casey's chest with the injury coming from a whiplash. Still, they call that foul play these days.

Does make you think what life after football must be like for these guys. It'd hell with constant niggles all the time as they get older. We all do but it'd be much worse.
