Panthers vs Cowboys

[Jane Murray]

Barring injuries, I would love to see the same side named for this match. If the intensity is maintained, then another cricket score could be mounted. Bring on Sunday.

 

[WestyLife]

Cows have to fly in fly out on the day which should help us a little.

 

[Michael Matral]

Looks like we are no longer the dark horses anymore, straight up contenders apparently. I know this is true of course but prefer that we aren't in the conversation so much, so as to fly a little under the radar.

Jeez I hope we keep the same 17 for the Cows, let Dean's toe properly heal so to speak. Maybe give Tamou a rest and let Spence stretch his legs for a few weeks, he looked fierce.

We should be aiming to keep them tryless or near enough.

Looks unlikely with Staines possibly injured.

 

[The yak]

This should be another good win. However, I hope the boys do the hard work and treat the Cows with respect.
We have had a good win and I hope laziness doesn't creep on. I would hate to see the ball thrown around without doing the hard yards first.

 

[betcats]

There edges have been pretty poor defensively. They can score though so we will have to show up.

This is the 17 I would run out with:

1. Edwards
2. Mansour
3. Naden
4. Chrichton
5. Staines
6. Luai
7. Burton
8. Leota
9. Korousau
10. Fisher-Harris
11. Burns
12. Martin
13. Yeo
14. May
15. Tetevano
16. Leniu
17. Kenny

I think Kikau's lack of involvement recently (ball in hand) has been a deliberate load management strategy. I think he has some niggles. I'd be giving him a rest, and letting Burns show what he can do with a longer stint.

Same with Cleary. He got bent over on his ankle against the Tigers, then dug it into the ground kicking a goal on the weekend. Not to mention his heavily strapped thigh. Take a week, rest up. Let Burton have another crack.

And I think Leniu needs to get more game time too - so we should be rotating our props. If Tetevano is fit, let's rest Tamou, and give Spence some more minutes.

I'd be running May on as a Lock/Second Row, and Kenny as backup for Api (maybe even in a running role depending on the game).

 

[WestyLife]

It's their forward that are the worry. They're still performing well but have terrible spine/outside back cohesion.

Not sure what to make of this but it looks like Staines may have to sit out this game, either for lockjaw or for breaching COVID protocols

Yeah he'll have a mandatory sit down.

14 days out of the bubble is the norm

The club should ask all who went to Staines house to be tested if negative it will be a big help.But he is unlikely to be available for this week and maybe the following week

 

[WestyLife]

"Charlie has been extremely naive on this occasion and inadvertently breached the protocols that are in place to protect the game,” Panthers CEO Brian Fletcher said.

“His misunderstanding of the specifics of the guidelines can not be overlooked, nor can his failure to contact the club before seeking medical treatment for his jaw condition."

The CEO is brain dead. He's a 19 year old kid with lockjaw at 2:30am.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Oh well, Whare comes back I guess.

Why is the CEO 'brain dead'. There are obviously procedures that must happen when a player gets injured or sick whilst at home. All cubs (especially during Covid19) have a step by step process to maintain the 'bubble'

Stop trying to hang poo when the CEO and the club are attempting to play by the current rules.

 

[age.s]

That's super rough for Staines. Seems like a fairly easy rule to misinterpret. Fletchers statement is pretty strong too which seems harsh if there's not more to the story.

Big night out indeed.

Burton to Centre

Naden to centre before Burton, More experienced in this position. Laurie to the wing.
