Panthers v. Heels

I thought I imagined it. He would've had fun watching that back in the video session.

Even if you go yourself. Running towards the sideline is not smart

Yes. To’o‘s 230m per game was instrumental last year. There’s a lot to be gained, and very little to be lost. There’s a reason To’o was the origin left wing.

There's the try scoring combination to be lost, there's the risk of reverting back to the meters To'o was making this season rather than last.

I dont think it's an issue of Crichton thinking he's a winger. Very few players pass well to the right.

Our left side attack fires with just about any combination of players because everyone naturally passes well to their left.

On the right the passes aren't as quick or crisp and the timing is just way off. Even if May or To'o shifts to the right wing. There's not going to be a huge change in that. We need to get Critter to improve his passing. He was actually better at hitting his winger last year when first moved to the right than he has been this year.

lol

First time in ages there is a legitimate discussion on the make up of the team. There are a number of good arguments and I don't know which one is right (Probably me though).

Intrigued to see who gets named and then who runs out on Friday.

Ivan will be rock hard with so many options to play silly buggers with the named team

He can party like it is Round 2 again!

Matt Adamson as 18th man for mine.

Well we do have 2 spots to fill in the squad...

Make that 1 now

His defence on Fifita more than made up for his errors. (Is Fifita the new B. Cartwright?)

His defence has improved. Still has a couple of errors in him which hopefully go with experience

Well he still holds the title as best dummy spit by a player just ahead of the latimore mansour one .At least Latsy one was funny to watch

I reckon it will be same 24 as last week, but To'o in #23 for C Crichton, and Leota in #21 for L Smith.

The 17 for Friday could end up as anything if Critta, May and Sorenson are all out (and even worse if Leota and Bizza aren't ready).

The only one in doubt is Sorenson.

Can't tell if Fifita is soft or the Titans suck at using him that's the issue.

Team list will be the mess around until an hour before kick off. Leota and To'o will be rightly given the week to prove fitness just to make sure so will be outside the top 17.

It's got to be the latter. Imagine the guy either here or at Melbourne. It'd be disgusting.

You're right it'd be unfair.

I think the best way to manage our backline is @Iamback suggestion of may stays left and only plays when to'o is unavailable for origin.

Then once Origin period is over. Make the tough call on right wing

Makes no sense to mess up our backline combinations every week on both sides and ruin the only real stability our team has through the Origin period.

Can have:

Edwards
To'o / May
Tago
Critter
Staines

Through the period where our halves, hooker, lock and right second row keep changing. But it does seem inevitable that May will be on right wing after the Origin series. I just think we need to minimise disruption until then.

 

[hindy111]

May has to stay in the side. Unfortunate for Staines. Only other possibility is carrying one on the bench.
To'o could always plays 50mins on wing have a 10 min break then 20 mins floating around in the middle imo as a lock.

Never. Yeo plays 80 when it matters

Well I am not sure what happens in this game. Parra are lacking fire-power with strike weapons Marata,Waqa and Sivo all out.
Penrith could be full strength and are at home. Unsure why they are playing their 6th home game already. Won't it get boring for members the back half of the season? Terrible scheduling by the NRL.

At best Penrith win. Both playing poor of late so unsure what happens as I feel we could see a semi final atmosphere.
If the Eels can stick with them I would take a fair bit away from the game.
Will TAGO and Penisini line up against each other or opposing sides? I'm starting to think Penisini might be the better player.
