Penrith v Newcastle

[Iamback]

Eusinhuth had 48 minutes game time Significantly more opportunity to shine and do what he does best. To compare the respective performances of the two players against one another is simply flawed.

I have no issues in Eusinhuth being in the top 17 his performances are always very good in my opinion and I have said that time and time again.

So we have so send a message to a 21 year old who had but 10 minutes of on field action for not being anywhere near good enough during his short spell, without basically any opportunities to make a hit up and none of his ten tackles forced dropped balls etc.

When he gets the same opportunities as others, gets to play 30-40 minutes, and only makes half a dozen hit ups, with a couple of lost balls, minimal tackles, with half missed get back to me then and I will concur that perhaps he had a poor game.

So the Dogs are coming back. Dominating possession. You'd leave Fish and Moses on the bench?

I think if Spencer doesn’t play/Yeo does the plan will be for Huth to play Leniu’s normal 25 mins at prop plus a good 25 minutes of Yeo’s role to allow him a lighter load. Makes sense for the team and allows Leniu to go and play 40-50 mins. It’s potentially been the plan all season for all we know. Leniu looks a lot better and tighter than he did last year, he’s making progress. Fish and Leota took a good 4 years in grade to start looking the compete article.

I don't get all this negativity around Spencer. Sure he has a few rough edges but could develop into one of the most dynamic ballrunners in the NRL. He just needs time. We don't know the full story he could be carrying an injury?

Easy win - We could have 13 out from Origin, play a couple of the ball boys and still win

It's been rumoured he has a rib injury.

Players should back up, if they only play SOO for a month then the easier weaker NSW mindset might become their normal mindset and seep into our team when they return.

Critta & Api should back up (Api definetely), if Yeo didnt have the concussion first tackle, id give him minutes against the Knights as he would put us in a position to get us home and then we could rest him when the game is won.

Luai, Cleary, Martin, To'o & Yeo should be rested - we have points in hand and NSW cup boys got the job done last weekend and deserve another week in the NRL.

I hope someone tells Big Mose that there's a NSW jersey up for grabs - he wont look out of place in sky blue

Play Critter rest the others. Origin almost ruined us last year

 

[Iamback]

Critter is the only one that should play.

no point risking the rest

Cleary needs some form but too risky to have him back up

I don't think Leota is eligible. He moved to Australia when he was already 13. Needs to be before your 13th birthday.

I’d probably rest Yeo, Cleary and Luai the rest can play.

To’o has missed a fair bit of footy this year so no reason why he can‘t back up. Martin and Crichton question marks over there participation in SOO 2 so I would back them up this weekend. Personally, I think Freddie should stick with Liam for Game 2 just needs to get him more involved in attack. Blues were far too conservative for most of the game and didn’t really chance there arm until they were two converted tries behind.

Critta cleared to play on Sunday.

Crichton cops dangerous throw charge

Only a monetary penalty.

Barely anything in it. Common sense has prevailed.

I hope all the Origin players back up on Sunday. Surely they will be burning from losing Origin and hopefully want to play on Sunday and destroy the Knights to gain some confidence back.
Theres a lot to be said in backing up after Origin games, but we need to really put on show on Sunday and continue our winning ways. Sure we could probably win with the Reserve Grade players, but do you think our guys won’t want to play?

They'll want to but it would be incompetent and foolish to play them

Theres no point in going hard against the Knights in a meaningless round 14 game, as fun as it would be to watch. It will be more fun seeing the boys fit and firing come September when it truly matters

I’m not so sure mate.

Five day turnaround, maybe better playing them.

Maybe they need to play.

Ill leave the decision up to Ivan I guess.

The more I think about just play them with the exception of Yeo. He can do with the rest.
