Former Panthers in the NRL

[Kilkenny]

Jeremy Latimore very good for the Dragons in the two games thus far. Doesn't get the wraps he deserves.

Very solid player. Dependable.

Far better squad filler than someone like Tim Browne

 

[TheFrog]

Take the 27 ex-Panther players in the NRL and add three of your choice from the ESL. Make Ivan Cleary the coach (the only ex-Panthers first grade coach now coaching another first grade side). Now how would this 30 man squad compare to our current squad, and how would it compare to other NRL squads?

I'd suggest the side we have now is better, but not by much and this side would go close to making the finals. I think Ivan would be pretty happy to have this squad at his current club.

100%.

Jeremy Latimore was solid.

 

[TheFrog]

And one other thing. If Ivan had this squad he'd be desperate to get Nathan because the best 7 on the list appears to be Luke Walsh. I'd be trying TMM.

My guess is his team would be:

1. Lachlan Coote
2. Peta Hiku
3. Michael Jennings
4. James Roberts
5. Michael Gordon
6. Matt Moylan
7. Te Maire-Martin
8. Jeremy Latimore
9. Apisai Korisau
10. Leilani Latu
11. Gavin Cooper
12. Wade Graham
13. Elijah Taylor

14. Luke Lewis
15. Bryce Cartwright
16. Suiai Matagi
17. Mose Masoe

I think that's the best solution for the halves. No way we would want Luke Walsh there. Pomoz might think he's better than Nathan Cleary. But I think we would be better plsying with 12.

The kicking game would suffer but there's definitely some wins in that team.

Austin surplus to requirements. Needs a bit more oomph up front, too.

Yep. Front row is a bit soft. Halfbacks non existent.

 

[soc123_au]

Tim Grant could come in for Mose as a starchier front row option.

 

[mxlegend99]

Carty is having a shocker at half. Titans look lost without a real playmaker.

Rein looks solid though.

 

[mxlegend99]

Oh and Michael Gordon looks great. One of their best in his mid 30s. Amazing.

Ivan Cleary has to be coach of the year. Knocking off 2 top 4 sides. With a side everyone was laughing atas shit.

Salary cap may be an issue?
