Tme will tell.
I think Penrith would rather have Faegai running at them then Sloan's speed in attack.

Sloan hasn't been doing much of that either (attacking) at least Faegai will be a lot stronger .........

 

[DeathBlooms]

Yes that is the question!
CC

He's been named at 1 in the updated Team list but who knows if they will change before kick off.

 

[blacksafake]

is Mat Feagai playing FB or swapping with Lomax?

Flanno said Mat would be but he also said Sloan had hamstring issues

Sloan was dropped to nsw cup v panthers today.

I have seen Mat Feagai play fullback in the KOE Cup, and he went okay under the high ball.
Different kettle of fish tomorrow when Cleary puts up those monster bombs with a lot of hang time.
Can see Feagai and Lomax doing a fair bit of swapping positions throughout the game.

Playing FB at KOE is different to playing FB at first grade. But facing Cleary, arguably the best half in comp and one of the best precision bombers is totally different challenge. I wish Mat the best. Either this will define his career or will destroy it. Go for it Mat. Give your best shot.

Matt has stepped up this year IMO. Was going well until injured. Hope he has a good one.

Dogs and Cows winning doesnt help us.
Bur if we don't win the next two it won't matter I suppose.

 

[DeathBlooms]

Dogs and Cows keep winning games they shouldn't be, so we have to win this game or we've no chance. Unfortunately can't see us getting a win against Storm or Panthers without some divine intervention.

Still a great effort from Flanno, the top 8 is done and dusted.
Coming 9th would be great result for the Red V, we won't win the comp anyways this year

This wont end his career. Flanno put him as captain and fullback in cup.

Been a plan since day 1. Had good games on the wing in NRL.

Being promoted to FB against the two top teams is a massive show of respect.

Im thinking sloan was not re signed by Flanno.

As an outsider looking in. Doesnt fit his mold.

Hasn't been playing well since he received his contract extension.

Big chance for Matt today and what a game to show how much you want first grade. Full house at Win against the best team for the last couple years. Penrith will go up another level as they always do at this time of year, question is has flanno squeezed the lemon dry as he said a few months ago or do the boys have another gear?
