Match Discussion: Round 4 vs Panthers @ Pepper Stadium

[Mr_Knightside]

Having Rory back will definitely bring more balance to our side, we can have Buhrer playing to his strength rather than spending 25% of the game at dummy half which is a bit of a waste for a guy who is a really good hole runner.

 

[Pedge1971]

Losing Rory and Pauli in the preseason was a real shame. I was really keen to see if Pauli could push on and show some work rate and consistency. He looked like he had stripped down in preseason so a bit of a shame.

The pack looks a good blend of power, running and ball playing if we could get these 2 coming off the bench.

And as you say, enables Buhrer to stay on the edge.

Bryce Cartwright has been ruled out with that ankle injury.

If Moylan and one of their halves gets an early concussion and failed HIA we may be a chance.

Elliott out - wonder what the shuffle will be?

 

[Spot On]

Damn, we're no chance now!

So the David Mead story. Takes a humungus pay cut to knowingly sit in reserve grade at Brisbane until injuries or origin put him on the radar for a first grade gig and now he decides that he doesn't want to be on diddly squat and wants to play first grade.

Can someone please explain this blokes logic to me???

Listed as Sione to centre and Pete Mat to fullback.
Both Wardle and Gagan in the 19 so it might change.

 

[PhilGould]

Pete at fullback for sure. Most likely bring Gagan in to play centre or wing alongside Rossy. Wardle in to the backrow and move Sione to centre is the other possibility.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Yates is listed to start in the back row for Sione.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

I hate to see guys get injured, but im glad Elliot is out of the side...

I go with Pete at FB, Ross to Centre and Gagan onto the wing (alternately just have Ross go to FB).

Im liking Sione in the backrow, id rather we didnt move him around like Stone was doing.

 

[slotmachine]

Yates is listed to start in the back row for Sione.

I very much doubt that will happen

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

It's a big no from me, moving sione to centre. Keep out forwards the same.

Ross to FB Gagan to wing for me.

 

[Knight76]

Ross to fullback makes less changes to the team.

 

[betcats]

Good luck tonight lads. Brown seems to have you guys having a good dig this year, not much more he can do with such a young squad that is probably still under the cap. After what happened in round 1 with us you never know, we turn in another performance like that and you guys will win. That being said I think we will turn up after losing our first home game last week.

 

[slotmachine]

Pete FB, Ross moves one in and Gagan on the wing.

OR

Pete FB, Sione centre and Wardle comes in.

 

[macavity]

Sione or Wardle in the centres would not be good defensively.

 

[PhilGould]

Nathan Ryan is reporting Wardle will play left centre. Let's hope for the best.

 

[slotmachine]

Oh dear. He was laughably bad there in cup. Is that peacheys side?

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Oh dear. He was laughably bad there in cup. Is that peacheys side?

No he would be up against Whare. Peachey will be up against Dane which doesn't fill me with confidence either, but at least Buhrer is on that side too.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Apologies it's Wanga Blake at centre and Whare on the wing

Whare has actually been playing centre for the most part despite being named on the wing.
