Rd 20 v Dolphins

[Sime_11]

To'o & Critta give a rest - happy if Marto & Yeo also given a rest

if any of them play - come from the bench and reduced minutes - they need rest after hectic workloads the past 12 months

Rest the lot and the ramp up operation 3peat next week

 

[Pomoz]

Yeo, Martin and To'o had huge games and I would rest them. We have good replacements and our forward pack will have Leota, JFH, Leniu and Sorrenson itching to get a game. That pack will challenge any team.

 

[maple_69]

Edwards, Turuva, Peachey, Tago, Jenkins, Luai, Cogger, Leota, Kenny, Fish, Sorenson, Hosking, Eisenhuth, Luke, Salmon, Leniu, Smith

That pack is going to be tough for the Dolphins to handle. It might not be pretty but its a fresh side and I can very much see this being a trademark Penrith 24-10 type affair where the Dolphins spend about 70% of the game in their own half.

I'd give all the rep players a week off, we should still get it done without them. I wouldn't rush Nath back either unless 100%. Even then I'd carry Cogger on the bench and give Nath 40 minutes or so to clear out the cobwebs.

 

[Exsilium]

I think we can afford to rest the players and get on with the season in the weeks coming up.

I am glad we're past the NSW Panthers drama.

We want a three peat. Lets focus on that.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

If the Hammer plays right centre then Hammer versus Peach gives me nightmares; not Peach bashing but Hammer is lightning…

 

[Luke Bowden]

If NSW cup is anything to go by, we are resting all the origin players.

smart move. Health is more important than points at this stage. Plus I think we’ll win anyway.

 

[BossleyPanther]

If that's the case, Nathan should rest.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

If that's the case, Nathan should rest.

I agree.

 

[Exsilium]

Hamstring injuries are unique in the sense that if it "feels right" and tests OK, you take the word of the player and physio. However, get it wrong and its often an even longer stint. High frequency of repetition.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

If that's the case, Nathan should rest.

Aren’t they completely different situations. We know for a fact that the SOO players played a game on Wednesday night.

None of us know how healed Nathan’s hamstring is; he might have been ready to go against the Storm but was held back for caution.

Nathan has ticked every box this week. If he pulls up ok he will play.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

Origin players out.

Cleary still in the mix. https://www.penrithpanthers.com.au/news/2023/07/15/updated-nrl-teamlist-round-20/

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

Dolphins very capable of pulling Penrith's pants down. It will not be a gimmee game.
Penrith will have to work hard to get the win.

 

[MrBlack]

So if Nathan plays does Jack go to 14 and Luke out ??

 

[chrisD]

If Nathan is fit why would you sit him out? He needs match fitness not rest.

 

[Iamback]

No Cleary.

smart choice, No point risking him
