Penrith v Souths semi final

[murraymob]

Starting this thread so we don’t get clogged up with all the finals games on one thread

 

[John Hamblin]

May out no Sorenson Spencer in !! Go Panthers!!

 

[martielang]

Actually thought Huth would get the nod over Leniu given they are more like for like. Plod for plod. Toiler for toiler. Hopefully Leniu rips in in the 6 minutes he's on the field. Bigger minutes for JFH and TPJ you'd think.

May must be injured; no way he isn’t in the 21…

They said May has a knee Injury

The side is much better balanced with Kenny. I hate carrying a player on the bench who only contributes if we have an injury.

Kenny will play a bit of prop a bit like he did in the last game against Souths to ease the other minutes. Ivan likes having a 5th prop when he can play one.

I think Martin will be a like for like replacement for Sorensen, All depends on what they need from the last bench player

No chance he plays over 10 mins

 

[Smug Panther]

No chance he plays over 10 mins

I'd take his 10min at hooker over May's 10mins at 13

 

[Original Name]

No chance he plays over 10 mins

He did in the last game against Souths that was like 2 weeks ago.

 

[chrisD]

If we had lost a starting prop I’d expect Huth to have come in in that role.

May Kenny go anonymous.

 

[TheRiff]

I'd take his 10min at hooker over May's 10mins at 13

May wouldn't of played that 10 mins at lock in a final though, Yeo won't come off. Api, Capewell, Kiks the same. 55-60 mins for Fish. Martin long minutes as to TPJ, I don't see Kenny nor the other forward getting much time at all

It wasn't a final though, Finals footy all coaches use 15 guys. The rest get minimal game time, Hynes didn't come on in the Grand Final. So it is an across the board thing, In our case we have come off an 8 day break, win and get a week off. In those cases coaches go all out, Whereas in the Competition games the coaches get the guys through the sesson

I suspect Cleary will start Kikau off the bench again. That has been working really well the past few weeks.

Yeah because Hynes was a back on the bench in case of an injury to their backline not a utility forward. If Hynes had been injured and say a utility that usually plays in the forwards like Tom Eisenhuth had taken his spot Tom wouldn't have played zero minutes.

Matty Johns also recognises the greatness of Isaah Yeo in it. Said to him that look inside play outside ball to Leota against Manly was the best piece of pure ball playing he's seen this year.
