2020 season

But what if Capewell starts?

You're down to Kenny or May now.

With Kenny you need to push a 2nd rower out there. May slides into most positions

 

[franklin2323]

A lot of competition for spots on the bench, he will have to be good.

Very few that can cover most positions though

 

[Dave's mate]

would the NRL have the ability to make him complete his 300 hours service before he can play at NRL level?

Toddy Grèènturd makes it up as he goes along

They have the power no idea if they will.

Just play 4 forwards on the bench.

 

[Fangs]

Just play 4 forwards on the bench.

I wouldn't be doing that with HIA rules, you're asking for trouble. I think a utility is a vital part of the bench these days.

I think Capewell can cover the outside backs. I guess it’s if one of the halves goes down where you might have an issue but even so you could push Edwards up from fullback & slot Naden back there with Capewell centre.

 

[Fangs]

Bring back the super sub Sid Domic.

And if a half goes down?

That is why I think you will see Kenny, Burton or May on the bench. Of those May allows you to play 3 forwards with that

 

[Panfa]

Im not happy with what may did but he's a young kid who made a mistake and as long as he doesn't do anything stupid like that again I forgive the bloke.May is a very talented footballer who is a perfect utility got size speed passing game the yr he got injured against the Broncos in that semi he won a few games for us off the bench and scored some crucial tries when he came on as a sub.The issue we are gonna have now is luai Burton may all want to play 1st grade but we will struggle to fit them all in the starting 17.

We can fit them all in but if Whare, Mansour and co find form and they can’t make the side then that is a good thing.

 

[Panfa]

Yeah surely mansour and whare can't have a season like last yr again or there both gonna get shown the door.Ive been really impressed with the Panthers training this off season the boys look fitter and much happier as a group we must improve this yr especially with 3 decent signings as well.

 

[roofromoz]

Bring back the super sub Sid Domic.

And if you can't get him see if David McLean is still available.

You forget Korisau can slot into 5/8th if a half goes down.
Its important to have a makeshift hooker on the bench, Kenny covers nearly all forward positions, i'd have Kenny and Capewell, Tetevano and Martin as our bench
Tyrone May will have to prove himself in NswCup before he is even considered before Luai, Kenny and Burton

 

[Ashfield Panther]

Don’t forget Spencer Leniu
He has to be in the 17 somewhere

Yeah I would go that bench to start but you are effectively playing Capewell and Kenny to cover what May can bring.

My top 17 for example has no Leota in it. If you want to find a place for him or want Capewell to be only second row. Then May comes into consideration probably not for round 1 though

Leota and Tamou IS my starting front row, Kikau and Yeo, then JFH at lock
Then Kenny, Capewell, Tetevano and Martin as the bench,
Again May is untested being that he has had year away, maybe after a month in nswcup he can comeback into the 1st grade squad

I have Leinu in over him. Depends on trials really cause he was training so not the same as if he was injured. Big trial minutes and form I guess will decide when

I re-watched the 2019 last game of the season here are my thought.

Tamou and Leota starting props. Tetevano on the bench for experience. (replacing Tamou)

Leniu on the bench (he may need a spell mid year but on the bench). Fish at Lock. Yeo starting 2nd row. Whare will have to start on fire or it's NSW cup for him.

To'o hopefully starts 2020 where he left off in 2019.

Cleary will be fine at 7. As long as he remembers to run as halfback. The bloke has speed to burn. I believe he will step up.


That last game of the season has given me hope for 2020.

You’ve lost the plot Franky. Leota one of the first forwards picked IMO.

He was sensational the back half of last year. Thoroughly underrated & underused.
