I don't understand why some fans are so intent on playing players away from there natural and best position?

For the most part, to be a really good centre you have to have played there for the majority of your junior years and once making grade. Expecting players who have played almost all of there football in juniors and seniors and then all of a sudden expect them to perform in what is a highly specialised position is simply unrealistic.

Peachy is not a five eighth and he is certainly not a centre. Let's just leave him where he serves us the best.

I would much prefer Robert Jennings at centre as a specialist in that position rather than any other stop gap selection. Having said Yeo has played centre before both in his junior days out west and in grade so he can do a job there and obviously it would appear he is going to be there tomorrow.

Easy,Panthers train outside behind the main stand at Penrith Park.Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out there would be some arse kissing spy in the Penrith neighborhood just itching to play ASIO for the afternoon by seeing that TMM would be training with the 1st grade in a more important role,and text that info in to some website.

In fact,it's so open out there that every man and his dog could go and watch the Panthers train.

Would'nt surprise me of someone stuck a few keyhole cameras in the trees.:lol:

I'm glad they're moving into the academy in a few weeks time. Will take the club into the 21st century and be the envy of most if not all clubs.

Yeo has played there before and is the best option at centre for now. Not his favoured position and has been caught out in defence with his lack of lateral movement, but still the best option at this time.

I agree he probably is the best option. He is big, strong mobile, solid defender and can pop an offload in one on one situations. He is a very handy centre but just not the position he has been playing from the time he was brought to this club from out Dubbo way as a 17/18 year old. I am a horses for courses man and much prefer playing players in there specialist positions for the most part and where possible.

If the rest of the backline was full strength id pick Jennings but in an injury hit team im fine with Yeo bring there.

Yeah agree. Rob is definitely an option but this week I'd rather go with the safer choice in Yeo. Milford and Reed are tough covers out there and you can't hide a centre defensively. If TMM debuts we will be covering him already.

Taylor to start at lock and play 80 minutes. JFH to the bench.

Merrin is a loss, if it is true. He does a fair amount of pig work, but its not the end of the world.

How long does glandular fever rule you out for. Massive loss if true has been our best thus far.
