QF 1 Vs Roosters

[maple_69]

Thats the lineup I think Cleary will go for. Personally I'd just bring Latimore in for Grant. I wouldn't mind seeing Moseley in there either to be honest. A bit more spark in attack could be useful.

Johnson/Tomkins were shut down. As was Cronk, DCE and JT in recent weeks. So as long as we turn up in defence across the team we are fine

I thought Cronk murdered us with his cross-kicks.

I know big Manu is quick for his size, but I was surprised we didn't have a player that could get near him on the chase. I don't know how Simmons stacks up against DWZ for pace over 60m? If the likes of Jennings get the ball in some space, you can put down your glasses.

I am watching the replay on FOX at the moment and DWZ was catching up to him but just wasn't quick enough to actually get him. I do agree with you that we don't have a true speedster and although I am a Simmo fan, I would be surprised if he was quicker then DWZ. Sam Anderson had a great game and hopefully will be rewarded with another start against the roosters.

The combination between DWZ and Soward is just too good to leave him out. I saw Soward kicking early in the tackle count to him (3rd)
And Tim Grant is injured NOOOOOOOOOOO

With the minutes Grant and BMM got Cleary is better off playing Moseley and only 3 bench forwards.

Grant did his knee so that explains his lack of minutes

 

[chrisD]

Even so.

 

[franklin2323]

Even so.

Still he got a few more games after being told he would never play for us again. gone for 6 weeks so he really has played his last game

 

[chrisD]

Injured or not, the limited minutes between the two of them didn't stretch the rest of the team and could be more than made up for by one player.

 

[martielang]

I'd keep BMM. He played well with limited minutes.

Anderson is a must. Hopefully he gets a start spot next year.

 

[franklin2323]

I liked the make up of our bench last week. Grant being injured Latimore in is the change I would make. Although Yeo and Simmons are fit I would keep it like it is

I am a massive Simmons fan, but I would leave DWZ in the team at this stage. Match fitness for Simmons could be an issue.

Is Simmons allowed to play NSW Cup? You'd think so since first grade is still alive. For next week that is, obviously NSW Cup don't play this week.

 

[Copperhead]

1. Matt Moylan 2. Josh Mansour 3. Dean Whare 4. Jamal Idris 5. Dallin Watene Zelezniak 6. William Smith 7. Jamie Soward 8. Sam McKendry 9. James Segeyaro 10. Brent Kite 11. Sika Manu 12. Matt Robinson 13. Nigel Plum
14. Lewis Brown 15. Jeremy Latimore 16. Ben Murdoch-Masila 17. Sam Anderson 18. David Simmons

Hope Simmons drops off that list.

 

[meek]

+ 1

thought Dallin played great would be a shame if Simmons came back in with DWZ playing so well
Ivan NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Don't even think abt it LOL

 

[maple_69]

I'm not going to complain if it does happen. Look at DWZ game against Manly. You don't want that needless stuff happening in finals. Im fine with whoever Ivan goes with on this.

 

[Luke Bowden]

DWZ is a must in my opinion, The kid gets better with every game!

 

[pantherpuddy]

I liked the size of our bench last week and I like it again this week. With the tough style of finals footy u need size and aggression all game

 

[GongPanther]

Roosters $1.22 V Panthers $4.40 :shock:.

The non-believers are out in force again.

Our old mate Rooster Cogburn has come outta hiding in the game day thread. First time he's been seen in ages and he's tipping his roosters by 20+
