Fun Game: Pick Your 17

[Bazal]

Am I missing something... when did Salmon become a centre?

Somewhere between being a fullback, a backrower and a five-eighth...

He's played all over the shop. With his attacking game centre/backrow looks a likely future.

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

Great team

At least mine doesn't contain French on the wing or Pritchard as the only hooker. Dude, do you even RL?

Im not bored enough to play

Not enough penrith players in the list eh?

He didnt... yet.
I am simply turning him into one because he has a strong running game and having spent some time in the 2nd row would possibly be an ok centre. And I want some youth in the side.

Ya reckon they might swap Norman and Gutho this week. Might get Corey running again.

I forgot all about Corey as an option for FB. I think i'd just prefer to get rid of him though. He doesn't want to play there so I won't pick him there.

Top 3 all 3 grades. I wouldnt be knocking them.

Not really.

You wouldn't knock them if they were running last in every grade including touch and the sheilas. That's hardly an endorsement. Anyway, good luck to you. I;m just sick of hearing about it. A few palm trees in the main street does not make a paradise.

Dropping our best prop?

Big call....

I’ve named Gower to start...

 

[Bazal]

I’ve named Gower to start...

Yes. I can see that.

 

[Joely01]

Yes. I can see that.

So who’s this best prop?

 

[Bazal]

So who’s this best prop?

The lad who is making 100m and 36 tackles on average every week and leads our defence.

I just found dropping Alvaro a big call that goes against the grain somewhat, and thought it was interesting.

Vannila, vanilla ... vanilla gorilla

Racist!

 

[Joely01]

And there lies our issue as a club.
His stats are good so he is our best prop... when’s the last time he bent the line? Popped an offload? Looked to run to the line then pass?
Way too one dimensional and doesn’t put any fear into opposition forward packs.
Stats aren’t everything, they often put players in a false patch of form.
Of course he will have 30 odd tackles a game, all we do is defend.
Like most of our pack, often left on the ground around the ruck no real urgency.
I’m tired of having blokes who “do the job” we need more then just smaller working forwards in this team.
