[Wazygood]

Sadly I agree with Big Mick, that will be the team named and if so we are no hope.
Graham simply has to be in the halves. Id prefer him at halfback but would cop 5/8, just as long as he starts.

Coote
Earl
Jennings
Gordon
Tighe
Burns
Graham
Petero
Kingston
Grant (if fit)
Smith
Pritchard (if fit)
Lewis

Puletua
McKendry
Cooper
Iosefa

Wioth that team Im confident we can win.

RES: 14. Iosefa, 15. Puletua/Plum, 16. McKendry, 17. Bell

Pretty much the same apart from Graham out for 8 Ball/Plum. I just think Chopra's best mate will react to Walsh's inabilitys by including Graham on the bench at the expense of a much needed forward. I think you are giving our learned leader too much credit. I would still like to see my team on the first page given a crack.

Well no Pritchard confirmed torn hamstring

 

[maple_69]

Purtell has to go, Gordon, Coote and Jennings need to see as much ball as possible. EVERY SET.
I have a feeling whether its Walsh or Graham we might be a bit more creative this game with everything on the line.

 

[goosie]

i hope so maple 69 i agree

 

[goosie]

we have a good chance to topple the roosters i reckon.
we were average last game but i am expecting the boys to really fire on sat
nite against the roosters.

 

[Panthers_God]

Surely Rooster have lost a lot of Petrol from the tank after that monster game last weekend.

I think Penrith have a reasonable chance of winning this game. But its up to the boys to start strong and play with some heart. They need to put their bodies on the line when it comes to online defence (I'm looking at you Walsh and Purtell).

Petro is back for this game and Coote has been training and look as if he will play this weekend. Waterhouse and Pritchard are gone for the season. Grant and Iosefa escpaed the judiciary with early guilty pleas.

Here is the team I would named:

1. Lachlan Coote
2. Michael Gordon
3. Michael Jennings
4. Brad Tighe
5. Sandor Earl
6. Travis Burns
7. Wade Graham
8. Tim Grant
9. Kevin Kingston
10. Petro Civenociva
11. Nathan Smith
12. Gavin Cooper
13. Luke Lewis

14. Mathew Bell
15. Sam McKenndry
16. Joseph Paulo
17. Masada Iosefa


Although we've lost some key players now hopefully Elliot will put 2 front rowers on the bench. I think we are too small off the bench with Smith and Cooper coming on. Hopefully Paulo and Iosefa can offer some much needed impact off the bench.

Elliot will probably select both Walsh and Purtell but I would honestly be a lot happier to see Earl and Graham in the side. In my opinion they offer a lot more to the team in both offense and defence and show a lot of heart and commitment to the team. Walsh is in a severe slump. His play has been so uncreative and sub-par, we all know that its either a short ball or a bomb.

 

[Fibroman]

Elliott always has, and always will play his favourites.

Personally I don't even raye Earl that highly. See how badly he got caught out when Canberra spread it wide and he was as slow as a wet week trying to get across in cover.

With Gordon out or playing fullback, we would have to have the worst 2 wingers in the NRL.

1. Lachlan Coote
2. Sandor Earl
3. Michael Jennings
4. Michael Gordon
5. Brad Tighe
6. Travis Burns
7. Wade Graham
8. Sam McKendry
9. Kevin Kingston
10. Petero Civoniceva (c)
11. Nathan Smith
12. Gavin Cooper
13. Luke Lewis

14. Matthew Bell
15. Frank Puletua
16. Joseph Paulo
17. Masada Iosefa

Slim chance of this being the team, but you've gotta hope...
Walsh has been terrible, but I doubt Elliott will even think of replacing him.
