A win like that...

A win like that without Galloway in the side is an impressive win indeed.

But what happened to the Warriors tonight? They just fell apart. Chris Lawrence should never have made it to the try-line (although I'm quite pleased he did). I think they made us look a little better than we were tonight, but then we made the most of it didn't we?

Daniela could turn out to be quite a pick-up - he just needs to soften up his passes a little (that one that Ryan bombed early against the Knights last week came off a bullet from Daniela, and he nearly overdid it passing back inside to Farah tonight...)

Add Galloway, Fulton, Ayshford and now McKinnon to the side and we're not looking too bad, even with Moltzen and Tuiaki out for keeps.

1. McKinnon
2. Tuqiri
3. Lawrence
4. Daniela
5. Ryan
6. Marshall
7. Lui
8. Gibbs
9. Farah
10. Galloway
11. Ayshford
12. Ellis
13. Heighington
14. Fulton
15. Fifita
16. Moors
17. Dwyer

Yep was gonna say the same thing. Ayshford can join the fight with Daniela/Brown/Fitzhenry/Ryan for the last two back five positions.

If fully fit at this stage I would go with;
1. McKinnon
2. Tuqiri
3. Daniela
4. Lawrence
5. Ryan

Ayshford can drop back and add some awesome depth.

When everyone is fully fit (excluding moltz and tui) I can't find a spot for both Fulton and flanagan, they are too similar and too small for to carry them both. Ayshford is also in this category if he isn't picked at center. The bench needs to be fifita, moors, dwyer and one of those 3.

Your not wrong about the Warriors making us look good, but if we're a confidance team than that win would do us the world of good.

I must admit Lui is doing ok, his pass to Ellis was all class and his service to Benji was great. Can't fault the few kicks he put in. Fifita is wow and Daniella.....did anyone see that coming???

How old is Daniella?? I know it's just one game but he seems to be an excellent prospect considering we all referred to him as a Penrith reject, me included.

Next week comes the real test. This means jack if we dont back it up.

Not going to get carried away after two straight wins against teams missing a big chunk of their players, no matter how impressive. Add to that the Warriors lost Seymour before the half and they were always going to struggle to put on points. Still you can only beat what's put in front of you and now the crucial thing for the Tiges is continuing with the job over the next couple of months.

Daniela turned 23 in February.

I'm not going to get carried away about him just yet. He had 20 fruitless games for Penrith over 3 years.

1 good game doesn't change everything. As far as I'm concerned, Ayshford is still the better option and Daniela looks to be a better wing prospect more than anything.

Daniela has always had potential and is very quick- IMO just was stuck behind Jennings and couldn't get a run - lets hope now he has a shot he can be consistent....

Funny how now we seem to have some sort of "depth" out wide all of a sudden a few weeks ago we were struggling now IMO- , Wade pushes Fitzy to bench, Ryan to wing...and then ayshford & daneila fight it out the centres....with TNT possibly coming back b4 the semis.......

I'll be honest, I highly doubt Tuiaki will ever play on the wing again.

Sheens will shift him to the back row me thinks.

8 - Galloway
9 - Farah
10 - Gibbs
11 - Tuiaki
12 - Ellis
13 - Heighington

14 - Flangan
15 - Fulton
16 - Fifita
17 - Payten

doesn't look too shabby

Actually I think he has floated the idea somewhere...not sure if TNT has the heart..but would love to see him there...


On last nights game - we were loosing 6-4 with 3 minutes to go in the first half...LOL...imagine if we started on fire...would have been 80-0 ....

I'd chuck dwyer on the bench and throw Payto's dollars at Eastwood or Laffranchi......

Well just imagine if Lawrence crossed early on instead of dropping it.....could very well have started the landslide....

Yeah I've been thinking that, too... Soon as I heard they were worried he's lost some of his pace. I reckon he'd be a benchie at best...

I wouldn't disagree with that.
