2024 Grand final Panthers vs Storm

[Fangs]

Huth was fine last week. And he has been probably our most underrated player of 2024.

He just does his job well and can be relied on. Highlight being his perfect hitup and PTB against the Dolphins to give Cleary the field goal set up. Used to be Leinu's job off the bench but Huth did just what we needed at that moment.

I hope Ivan sticks with Huth. He’s 100% fit, rarely lets us down. Just not worth the risk with Scott. Huth deserves his spot in my opinion.

Can't pick a half fit Sorro while we need Schneider.

Huth was pretty badly exposed last week, the bloke tries hard but he's just not up to it.

Exposed how???

And for a big guy he doesn't mind bending his back and tackling around the legs.

Something a big guy from Melbourne might take a look at and learn from.

Plus, the limited minutes Huth gets he can go 100% and not worry about pacing himself.

Agreed. That was a huge moment. Less flashy than the booming kick that followed it but no less important in context.

Was the difference in a home final in the end.

Sorro on the bench though is a better fit than Eiso.

Zero cover in the squad if a second rower or outside back goes down

Yep. Need the extra backrower out there.

Having Schneider reduces the option to play Kenny in the middle.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Exposed how???

Super slow. I know most props are a step down from our starters but the intensity dropped. Papi and Hughes will be licking their lips if he plays

 

[Kilkenny]

The NAS suspension is a huge loss for the Storm.

He had a slow first half of 2024 but regained form in the 2nd half and has been very good for them so he is a huge out.

Storm appear to be firming into favouritism with the betting agencies so obviously the majority of the money early in the week is going on them. It doesn’t mean a lot I don’t think, just the neutrals and probably bigger punters are all in on the Storm. Understandable I guess they have been the best side this season and have been red hot in both there finals games.

I will not provide a distraction though.
Win this week man, just win this week.

You're talking to a parra fan

It’s just ‘Chins’ facts mate.

Huth at $151 for CC. Just sayin.

I might just put a lazy $20 on in it. Two fairy tales.

im with Chins - i dont have alot of confidence in Huth. He does his job, you cant take that away from him.

im picking underdone Sorro over Huth, otherwise Huth deserves that bench spot.

we saw it with Martin going for HIA last week - that has me panicking internally if we lose a 2nd rower.

Papi, Grant, Munster, Hughes & Wishart is alot more threatening then Kennedy, Trindall, Nicho & Brailey....

I think there's a bigger concern such as him not being good. You won't find a Penrith fan who wants Klien. It's that way for a reason.
