Rd 17 v Knights

[herbert henry1908]

We’re resting all the origin players, interesting move given we lost last week.

FK me with Peachy in the side. Why not put bloody Cole in.

Hopefully he makes up for his catastrophic late error which cost us big time last week.

I was hoping Romey plays and shuts up the critics and give Newcastle headaches all game.

 

[Fangs]

Very interesting decision. And looks like an about face on club policy compared to previous years.

 

[WestyLife]

Why peachey? Ivan must really love him for some reason.

 

[Munky]

Last year we managed Origin magnificently.

This year our ladder points don't allow for gimme games as losses.

I do wonder if Cleary's injury made them a little more cautious on players backing up.

My wife just said exactly that.

I'm pretty f**king pissed off Peachey has somehow got another game. He was a f**king joke last week and picking him again isn't showing our jersey any respect

Updated NRL Teamlist: Round 17

Panthers coach Ivan Cleary has updated his squad to face Newcastle Knights at BlueBet Stadium.

Oh well my disdain for Origin is just re affirmed further after seeing the team list. We better win with the understrength team, or I'll be pretty pissed. I live a long way from Penrith now, and this is one of the few games I'm able to get to this year and with the stars out I feel short changed, not that they consider that!!
In my opinion if we fall to 9 and 6 with Storm away next then top 4 is in jeopardy and obviously premiership chances. Let's hope the Knights are as ordinary as some expect but the version that gave a full-strength Broncos a big scare could easily turn up and then we're in trouble.

Ivan playing Bazball with the line-up, making his ‘8 for’ declaration.

I like it. We can afford to lose a game or two at the moment and still make the top 4; can’t afford to lose To’o, Luai, Martin or Yeo. I would have been tempted to play Critta, but can see why he wasn’t singled out.

Even aside of that, it was a poor performance v Dragons. I guess they thought better off running the fringe guys

Makes Storm next week and Dolphins after Origin 3 must wins.

Hopefully Cleary is back then, Him with the rest of the side named should still get the job done

 

[Alintheeast]

Playing at home, side doesn’t look to bad on paper, Leniu not starting should win. However will probably know the winner first time Newcastle has ball in our red zone and 6 tackles, if they score we are gone

Anyone that's watched more than a couple nsw cup games this year would know coles defence at nsw cup level is pretty avg.

He'd get torn apart at nrl level.

So all the Peachy haters probs need to pull there heads in and realise there is a reason behind it.

Cole is a future player but he's simply not ready from what I've seen..

Putting him in to early and getting carved up hurts not only the team but his development..

The club has a pretty good history in recent years at bringing in rookies at the right time and keeping them in fg.

Turuva has been great. One of the safest wingers and best meater eaters in the comp and cops traffic every week.
Criita never looked back
Tago stayed in and has been really good.
Lindsay Smith has gone from strength to strength so much so that at full strength it looks like he'll stay in the 17 and hosking will dropp out.
Spencer has been a mainstay...
Tiny if he hadn't of been injured would've been in and was a revelation last year.

So yeah all the peach haters there is a reason for it.

The club will put cole in when he is ready

Garner or any other backrower at the club can play. His refusal to pass in the opening minutes last week was the most selfish play I've ever seen from a Panther.

Obviously haven't watched much of garner

He's been about as nsw cup as you get in nsw cup

If we win then fine. But f**king if we lose when we’ve chosen to play proven game losers Ivan deserves all criticism.
