Rd 17 v Knights

[Chins get the wins]

Peachey will always have a strong entertaining game in him against weak sides but come finals his ball hogging and brain snaps are way too big a risk. He totally ignores his winger 95% of the time.

I think a lot of the peach criticism comes from concerns over loosing Crichton and the unknown replacement next year.

I have always loved peachy but I also find it uncomfortable not knowing a succession plan for the centres.
I know that sounds kind of stupid, next year is a long way away and Ivan continues to come up with the goods, but it just kind of lingers in the background.
Obviously for a few people peachy, Kenny and Soni are the pieces of the puzzle that don’t feel quite right.

I spend a fair bit of time thinking about our team, and the reason I post here is to voice my thoughts and concerns to be people who have may have an understanding.

I don’t need validation, and I don’t really like the bickering, but I get it, we are passionate about the Panthers and that’s why we are here, we all have different itches to scratch lol.

Taylan May is the succession plan. He will be an awesome centre.

 

[Black Panther]

Jenkins, May or Turuva would be seen as replacements for Crichton. As well as the highly rated McLean and even Cole.

His injury may of set him back, Turuva can do it if that is the case

 

[Fangs]

It's obvious we aren't blooding new players beyond who started last night. Tyrone is going to be the guy when injuries strike.

He does bring a lot of experience. He has never been close to a grand final. I'd back him to play a tight game if given the chance. For some reason I have a feeling he will be around the team late in the season so I think we will find out.

I think that could be definitely work

Hopefully we get into a position to rest a stack of guys late in the year, It would be better to have some more guys ready to go for options

For me Turuva was our man of the match even the commentators where thinking he would get towel up by the knights winger .but he not only held his own but out jumped his once .Had a great game

Yeah, tough assignment. I expect he will keep his place next year, well deserved and May will move to centre.

May has that bit of grit about him that elevates him from average to good. Tough, hungry and the right body shape for the centres.

Nope, Tago for mine, he was enormous,

Thanks Kilkenny for your lovely comment.

I learnt about rugby league basically at my dad's knee.

I'm the youngest in my family (by 11 and 7 years) I have 2 much older brothers.

I started watching at my dad's knee in 1967 (the year my parents bought a telly) Yes I was 10 years old. The ABC Saturday match of the day.

My wonderful dad and brothers explained the rules when I asked questions, and it was something my dad, my older brothers and I bonded over.

I can clearly remember Eric Simms and his kicking duels. The 4 tackle sets, pushing in the scrums, the thuggery, the fact that there were only 2 reserves on the bench. (whom had already played a full game in cup). They were only to be used as injury replacements.

I remember watching the grandfinal when Raper had a painkilling injection that went wrong, he played badly. That was the game when he wore the white footy boots.

I remember seeing the grandfinal when Sattler had his jaw broken.

I remember seeing Manly's first grandfinal win too. Seeing a very young Bobby Fulton play.

I remember seeing my first ever test match at the SCG against the poms in 1975 (after I left the country and moved to Sydney)
......It was an afternoon game. I was enthralled.

I remember it all.

There isn't much in the game I haven't seen at least once.

I had some time away from the game when my children were very young, as I was quite busy raising them.

Even then I still took an interest.




No I don't obsess about stats, and then misuse them to explain a warped viewpoint.

I also don't demand that others accept my viewpoint as gospel either.


'Footy Nerds' come in all shapes and sizes, they even come as fat old ladies who use a walker named 'Annie'.

Hey i was at that game 1975 GF I think. It was Changa langlands an absolute super star not Raper. The roosters flogged them

He's doing all the hard stuff fantastically but I still believe we are wasting his footwork and talents. I'd like to see him come through the middle occasionally running off Leota and Yeo's hips

 

[Bred not Bought]

Taylan May is the succession plan. He will be an awesome centre.

I think moving Tago to right last night was a little look to the future. Maybe May/Turuva left side next year?
I thought Tago was outstanding last night.

Tago has looked pretty good both weeks on the right, Just need to see if he can pass on that side

You're right. My bad. Sorry bout that.

Did you watch David Fale score that fantastic try in Penrith's reserve grade loss? An obvious star of the future if I've seen one.

He looked fantastic

He was good but my top 3 were:

1. Tago
2. Peachey
3. Leota

Kenny and Eisenhuth had really strong games too

 

[GongPanther]

He looked fantastic

He is a large human, a dead set Ingliss clone. Well be on NSW Cup next Saturday on Fox again. I hope they keep him in the side instead of Flegg.
