R15 vs Sydney Roosters

[Red&BlackBear]

Firstly sorry didn’t mean to hijack Panthers members sub forum.

Cogger at 7 next week? Or Luai to 7 with Cogger at 6? Other option maybe Cole or Falls in the halves with Luai? Either 6 or 7? Salmon also played there at 5/8 in NSW Cup but might as well have Leota in halves of Salmon is picked.

Salmon bigger body - knows the squad well been around awhile now. Less skilled version of May imo.

Cogger with passable kicking game, some ok organising skills and decent passing.

Cole, young running 5/8 maybe more a center though.

Falls, been around for awhile in the Penrith system. But very limited opportunities although did feature a few times last season.

The game will be built on defence as usual but Panthers need to limit the errors big time. Needs to be high completion rate. Roosters have been all sorts so far but this is the sort of game they’ll come out firing.

Assuming Jerome‘s ankle issue is minor given he was able to play on tonight it will be Cogger 7 Laui 6. 100%.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Luai might benefit from playing 7 and being forced to take more ownership

 

[Fangs]

Cogger's kicking game was alright tonight. He starts and I hope he has a good few weeks.

The same kind of opportunity helped SOS get a 3 year deal with the Dolphins.

Ivan has learnt not to move two players to compensate for one, cogger will be the 7, its the reason we signed him, origin or injuries, if luai was injured instead of nate, it would be falls or salmon in at 6

Still think this way if the injury is 8-12 weeks?

Its why we recruited him specifically, jerome can still take on more responsibility, but moving too many players around, might unsettle our defence

 

[Luke Bowden]

Cogger should be the 7 until Nath comes back.

 

[Sime_11]

Cogger gets that 7 jersey just for that first try assist alone - what a kick and what a play

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Cleary out for up to 6 weeks. Some what similar situation for Panthers when he hurt his shoulder leading into 21 finals and got suspended leading into 22 finals. Cogger gets 6 solid weeks to build with the side and form combos.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Reports are Nathan's injury is 6 weeks which is encouraging to hear. Hopefully Luai is dropped from NSW and we can go on a little run here

 

[soc123_au]

6 weeks isn't too bad. You know he will do the rehab, so hopefully he comes back ok.

Is it worth keeping Salmon in NSW Cup on the back of this news and having Peach on the bench at 17 for this duration in Clearys absence?

Still a light bench maybe L.Smith for S.Luke might be better. Not sure.

I think he will take over when we are attacking their line but he isn't an organiser. Leave it for Cogger

Judiciary Report: Koula, Fainu, Havili, Lees facing bans

Sea Eagles back Toluta'u Koula, Wests Tigers recruit Latu Fainu and Rabbitohs hooker Siliva Havili each face a one-match ban following incidents in last weekend's third Test between Tonga and England.

www.nrl.com

Roosters centre Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii is facing up to a month on the sideline after he was charged with Dangerous Contact after Sunday's win over the Bulldogs.

The Grade 2 charge is Suaalii's third and subsequent offence and carries a three-game ban with an early guilty plea increasing to four games should he fight the charge and be found guilty at the judiciary.

---

Unless Daniel Tupou returns early they will be forced to play someone like Drew Hutchinson out wide.

Maybe Sam Walker returns and Manu back to centre but they just won a game so I doubt it.

No the bench is good.

Kenny will play prop minutes and Peachey can also play backrow and Sorro prop if you need extra middle minutes

Paulo played NSW Cup, He should come straight in

A little freshen up. Have NSW blame someone else for losing

That's still an understrength backline.

We definitely out class them there.

We are full strength minus Cleary.

Most teams we should outclass. Especially after a freshen up for Yeo and Luai
