[Black Panther]

Back everyone up from Origin, we need to bank the wins.

For me everyone but Yeo.

3 day back up + then 6 day back up for Melb in Melb game. If players have any doubt rest them. We shouldve won in NQ with 2nd side, if Moses plays I think we wouldve won. Should be ok to sneak an ugly win here at home...

We are 2 points clear of 7th.

We need to win atleast 1 game.

Keep Origin guys on ice to ensure we get the job done against Storm.

May snag an ugly win this week anyway

 

[Bred not Bought]

Knights gave us a scare last time. I would be surprised if they weren't up for this one.

 

[pantherz9103]

A must win game because if we don’t win this game top 4 looks precarious, which just shows how ridiculous our close losses to the likes of Tigers and Rabbitohs were. Should have won those games.

 

[Westernised Panther]

As long our defence holds up for the rest of the regular system, it could very well be our ‘for and against’ that will decide whether we finish as minor premiers or in the Top 4.

No Gardner?

 

[Fangs]

No Hosking either.

He or Garner have to play. Salmon can't be the only option for the backrow with Martin backing up.

That is the flow on effect of having a hooker on the bench.

That really needs to be a utility with Hosking with the middles on the bench

 

[19Panther90]

I am not sure why Hosking can't get a stop in the 17. That No Frills bench would have Franklins re-open again haha

 

[martielang]

Rough on Hosking. Not sure what he’s done to lose his spot tbh

especially with Martin and Yeo backing up

My geriatric eyes can sometimes see no evil, I thought Hosking was one of the better forwards last week, maybe should rest Sorrenson.

So we should give a bloke a rest who isn’t playing Origin?

No he was good.

Lindsay Smith is the one that is out of place.

If Kenny is going to play in the middle then no need for him.

Hosking coming on you'd push Martin or Sorro to the middle as well.

Lindsay Smith is now part of the 17, we just need to bite the bullet with the Hooker rotation. Our biggest problem however seems to be carrying Salmon on the bench with no clear position.
He needs to be given more minutes or he should drop back to reserve grade, even though he does Ok when he comes on.
