[SP]

1. Brett Howland, 2. Luke Dyer, 3. Danny Galea, 4. Paul Whatuira, 5. Trent Clayton, 6. Amos Roberts, 7. Preston Campbell, 8. Joel Clinton, 9. Luke Priddis, 10. Martin Lang, 11. Joe Galuvao, 12. Tony Puletua (c), 13. Trent Waterhouse, 14. Frank Puletua, 15. Shane Rodney, 16. Richard Fa'aoso, 17. Ben Rogers, 18. David McLean.


why does lang insist on picking Howland all the time??
i dont know anything about Luke Dyer so i cant say anything about him

i would of had this as my backline

1. Trent Clayton
2. Luke Dyer
3. Danny Galea
4. Paul Whatuira
5. Shaun Ata/Aaron Barba
6. Amos Roberts
7. Preston Campbell

but im glad to see he must of realised that Daniel Russell is no where near ready for 1st grade

I've no problem with howland though I would rather see clayton at fullback and howland on the wing.

Aaron Barba probably isn't in the side becuase, unless I'm mistaken, he only made his return from injury off the pl bench last weekend.

As much as i like Dyer and my Lucy Lu - I wouldnt have Dyer in 1st Grade. He's a good player but not special. Prove me wrong now Lukey! But it's good to see that he has made the side and that his move from the Melbourne's feeder clubs back to Penrith have proved to be a beneficial one for him. Hope he takes this opportunity to lift and play out of his skin.

Same CP with regard to howland and clayton. Damn where's Turner! And Hicks! And Elford! Our depth, we sold our depth!

 

[Not so silent Bob]

Another Luke?

You must have Lukes bursting out your arses or something.

Not that it's a bad thing mind you.

 

[Earl]

Damn where's Turner!

I know where he is :badgrin:

 

[Tupac Shakur]

I also have no problems with Howland in the side he deserves to be there. I dont know much about Dyer either so i'm looking forward to seeing him play but i thought Ata or Barba should have got a chance, they were major signings especially Barba and this is probably his last shot at a First Grade spot this year and he missed out.

 

[Big Mick]

To be honest i'd have this:

1. Roberts
2. Clayton
3. Dyer
4. Whaitura
5. Howland
6. Rogers
7. Campbell
8. Clinton
9. Priddis
10. Lang
11. Galuvao
12. Puletua
13. Waterhouse

14. Rodney
15. Puletua
16. Galea
17. Fa'aoso

Howland at fullback? I don't believe that. Clayton should be there, and Howland on the wing.

Luke Dyer... must be doing some good things for the Cougars. Best of luck to him.

I agree Big Mick but you could also have McLean on the bench somewhere there..

 

[*Sandy*]

Yeah I rate McLean more than F. Puletua or even Galea. You have Rodney on the bench which serves as utility front and back. Very versatile our Rodney.

Now now Earl, no need to rub it in. He'll come back to us ... one day

Yeah Galea is the only Panther that plays First Grade that i don't really rate.
