GF Panthers vs Storm

[CCJohnC]

Glad Naden is back. This is the team that has played together for a good number of games. Gives us height either side of the posts.

They are a good pack but we are better. Sauce and To'o might get the droppsies in the wet but they might if its dry too

JAC isn't that good under high ball or the tough stuff off his line.

The main advantage being they have been in the Dry QLD all season and won't have a run before the game

 

[franklin2323]

Wait to see how we run out. Nothing is assured with Ivan

I'm sure he would take it on the chin & do everything he possibly could to help the other guys get the job done. The way they have the team harmony thing going is fantastic. Inside it's still going to hurt though.

At least he was picked in the centre. Probably go on and score 5 tries.

Be a low move to call Naden back and drop him again, even if he knows the plan. His phone must be going off

Papenhausen said Bellamy had them training with the sprinklers on.

That's the best 17 we can assemble despite its flaws.

Maybe he hasn’t been getting the kicks? He’s still much more of an aerial threat than May.

He’s also not just good in the air, he’d good at chasing grubbers. Scored one against Canterbury a few weeks ago.

I just watched some of his tries for the year, and I’ll tell you what else he’s good at. Support play. A number of his tries were him supporting players that had made a break, his pace allows him to do that.

Regardless of the why the fact is we haven't been using his leaping ability that much so his leaping ability doesn't matter as much. If we were constantly bombing to him then him being better in the air would be a more of a factor but he isn't. If anything Cleary likes to aim for Martin more.

As for grubbers notice last year he scored like 5 or 6 tries off grubbers down the left edge and has scored none down the right edge this year. Cleary attacks in the middle, our five eight plays left edge and our fullback plays right edge. If Crichton played left he wouldn't have scored nearly as many tries off kicks. Whoever plays that edge it doesn't really matter if they're good at sensing when there's a chance on and calling a kick in behind. They rarely ever get to use that ability because Edwards isn't a similar player to guys like Luai and Burton. I think Naden get would more tries from grubbers and other kicks if we had Laurie playing fb but for the gf it's irrelevant.

Yes but isn’t ANZ. That was bad enough last week another week of rain and will be horrible

He 10 days before the game he was benched. As long as the players know what is going on is the main thing

The GF will be Nathan's 100th FG game, Hopefully a DOUBLE celebration!!!!!

Given his age, he could be a 400 game player.

Stoked to see Nado named. He’s definitely 1 of our 2 best centre’s, I thought May did a good job last week, but Nado is more dangerous and May is needed at 14.

Nado deserves the start for mine.

 

[kinghippo]

@herbert henry1908 wins! I do like that team. May is one of the best utilities in the game.

May is the best utility in the game.
Him on the bench is a better balance, he has been great in every position he has played but I think the specialists in their position are slightly in front of him.
A full of season at centre could be his ticket into the full time squad but this year he is best on the bench.

Great team
This is our best 17 .You May agree or not but it is.Api needs cover the best is may .Not to mention of the bench he can go anywhere
Naden has earned his spot over the year .So happy for Mansour more than anything .We all know the stories of when his contract would come up and he would just tell Gus .
Get it ready I will sign .No negotiations just sign.Knee reconstruction face fracture but he is there at the big show

Im happy with our 17 gf squad the unlucky one is not kenny its leniu hes been enormous for us this yr.Capewell missed a gf for cronulla so be unlucky to miss out again just hope he doesnt have a few drop balls like last week.

This !!!!

we are giving him a chance at a ring, underrated spiritual leader at the club the past 8 years, he and Ivan embracing would be something pretty special, both here during the tough times

We use our right centre in attack very sparsely if at all, if May is better defensively then I think he’s your go.

It has been an issue for a few years the right side attack
