GF Panthers vs Storm

[The_Frog]

The bunnies where flogging everyone until they played us why.Field position we strangled them out of the game.I see us doing the storm the same way

I think our best chance is to put a score on them in the first half as we should have done to Souths.

The last time I've seen a Naden tap back or catch to score or set up a try was that first game against Sharks. It's not like he's been doing it all the time.

Maybe he hasn’t been getting the kicks? He’s still much more of an aerial threat than May.

He’s also not just good in the air, he’d good at chasing grubbers. Scored one against Canterbury a few weeks ago.

I just watched some of his tries for the year, and I’ll tell you what else he’s good at. Support play. A number of his tries were him supporting players that had made a break, his pace allows him to do that.

I don't know who's right here but at the very least Naden shouldn't be on the bench. Tetevano, Leota and Lenui should be there to give us that middle dominance. If Naden starts than Lenui will drop out to fit May as the utility obviously.

Yeah definitely not on the bench. He either starts or he’s out, we can’t play the Storm with only 16 men.

I'm glad I'm not the one making the call. There are pros & cons to both options. I would probably go toward Naden in the centres & May on the bench. Capewell or Spencer to miss out.

I know sentiment doesn't win games, but Naden being in 17 winning games & then missing the big one is gut wrenching. He did plenty of good shit to contribute to those wins too.

Like the Roosters did to the Storm in 2018 GF. The Storm were stunned and the game was over by half-time.

Sunday is looking very wet

Excellent news

Both teams are pretty strong in the middle, I’m not sure it necessarily favours us.

Our halves have a Better kicking game but their forwards are very good.

Papenhuyzen can be shaky under the high ball and Hughes is a makeshift half. I back us if it becomes a grind

Sure it's going to be really sad for Naden if he misses out. But he, like all the rest of the squad all year have fully known that this is a team effort. His form has warranted his dropping. Is it because of those drunk goons giving it to him up in Gosford, or/and the rumours that Naden might be off to the Storm next season?

They are a good pack but we are better. Sauce and To'o might get the droppsies in the wet but they might if its dry too

 

[herbert henry1908]

Naden’s back! Wow, didn’t expect it.

 

[Smug Panther]

Naden picked and I'm happy about it. We need his pace

I'm sure he would take it on the chin & do everything he possibly could to help the other guys get the job done. The way they have the team harmony thing going is fantastic. Inside it's still going to hurt though.

 

[soc123_au]

lol. My above post is redundant it seems. We will see who drops off as the game gets closer.

Naden named at centre but will Ivan pull a swifty?

@herbert henry1908 wins! I do like that team. May is one of the best utilities in the game.
