2024 Panthers

[Alintheeast]

Is Burton finished ? Be interesting if the Dogs start well in 2024.

 

[Whino]

Its Luai or Hynes for the 6 at the moment.

Calker?
Last game incumbent. Played under Maguire.

 

[betcats]

Souffs are coming off missing the 8, Walker is 34. No way a new coach has him as 1st choice

Maybe, you can say the same thing about dce going into this years series though. If walkers in the form he was pre origin this year he will get picked. If hynes is in the form he was in pre origin this year he will probably get picked. Luai is going to have to be in really good form to get picked I think, NSW coming off two series losses in a row Luai was the 6 in 5 of those games(I think) before he got dropped, he will need in the best form or at least much closer than he was this year.

it is easy to forget how injuries have hit NSW the last couple of years. Even allowing for that NSW put a record score on QLD in Perth last year.

The core of the side picks itself based on what has happened across those couple of years

Burton has never got started.

I agree but I just don’t think Luai is part of the core that picks itself and I think Fittler and brandy leaving the system make it even less likely they just stick Luai there because of Nathan which is what happened this year in game 1, on form he was not picking himself he got in due to the club partnership. If there are other options in better form than Luai I think Luai will struggle to get back in next year. Of course he is good enough that his form might be much improved and he will get back in.

Freddy picking Tommy last year was one of the worst selection calls in the history of the sport

Luai is going to miss the 1st few weeks of the year anyway.

You look at the core though

Cleary
To'o

Backrow

Murray
Martin
Yeo

That goes well with Luai but if not him. Not sure Walker is either particularly if you want Martin playing both sides of the ruck

 

[mxlegend99]

I doubt Luai is in the team. New coach who will have different ideas and he's not the most popular guy outside of our club. Cleary played his best footy when Luai was off in the grand final too. Everyone saw it and even Cleary said Cogger helped unlock him.

Cleary would be our only certainty for NSW. To'o, Martin and Yeo would be odds on to be picked. 90% chance. But not 100%.

Luai i would say is below a 50% chance. I could see Moses, Walker, Hynes etc. being ahead of him. I think Moses would go well with Cleary tbh.

worse then Martin and Murray off the bench?

or Cook at centre?

Madge only needs to select a normal team and NSW romp home

 

[Sime_11]

let QLD win origin - 4 in a row more important please

Yeah picking an injured player who's barely played in years is worse

A Cleary Moses combo could be deadly. Imagine trying to shut down that kicking game if both are on.

Freddy just tried to keep outdoing himself with bizarre selections last year. His dealer should be proud.

Not having proper backup is the big mistake.

Latrell and Tommy will always get picked but just needed cover

 

[Goonji]

No Latrell and Turbo and letting the QLD forwards dominate NSW was not Luai's fault.

Or a left field option, Jack Cogger.

lol, no chance.

 

[jane the pain]

lol, no chance.

Why not? He complimented Cleary

 

[Westernised Panther]

Or a left field option, Jack Cogger.

He’s not guaranteed a starting position in Newy, let alone warrant Origin selection.

To be fair, I do hope he gets the starting gig at the Knights.
