Rd.27 v GC

[globalpanther]

Same as last night (bar injury) but Soro in for Eiso.

I’d still like to see Sommerton instead of Toelau I think he could be dangerous off bench replacing Kenny, he’s scored a few tries playing NRL.

1. Iongi
2. Turuva
3. Peachey
4. Alamoti
5. McClean
6. Schneider
7. Luai
8. Henry
9. Kenny
10. JFH
11. Garner
12. Martin
13. Smith

14. Toelau
15. Eisenhuth
16. Leota
17. Geyer/Sorensen if fit

I've rested a few where possible. Edwards, Tago, To'o and Yeo. Probably won't be that many rested but we won't play full strength.

Hero Tyrone Peachey to get the send off that he deserves. And if he scores a try its 50% at Krispy Kremes after the game.

Have you now, thanks Ivan

Agree Soro for Eiso as the only unforced change.

And Geyer for Smith if Smith gets suspended.

Nah man Peachey for anyone is gold, he should get some titan-like revenge

 

[CCJohnC]

Rest Edwards play Laurie.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Edit: Smith only got a fine. If Edwards and Yeo do get rested then I’d look at

Laurie
Turuva
Alamoti
Tago
To’o

Schneider
Luai

Fish
Kenny
Henry
Garner
Martin
Smith

Toelau
Sorenson
Leota
Patea

McLean/Eisenhuth 18/19

Panthers still need to win this game and head into the finals with form and combinations gelling. For this reason I wouldn’t have mass restings.

 

[WestyLife]

At least it seems to be pretty unanimous that Edwards needs to be rested. He looks really off the pace and uncomfortable with how he gets around, his body language etc.

 

[Fangs]

Peach has played a bit of fullback in his time.

 

[Panther Pete]

Surely Laurie comes in to give Dyl a rest.

 

[Caged Panther]

What time does this game start?

Normal for the Sat night time slot is 7:30 but I am sure they said at the ground last night it started at 8pm?

 

[Alintheeast]

Martin should also get the week off but it might get interesting. We play an elimination semi in NSW Cup so will Ivan rest his best players and decimate the Cup side. However with Sharks losing we can still finish 3rd and play Easts in Sydney. Easts could lose to Canberra or souths and we get a home final. Canberra are still a chance of semis (mathematically) if they beat Easts.
Amazing that a team that scores 40 points and loses can make the semis.

The match is scheduled for 7:35 on the NRL website. Nine and Foxtel will both be broadcasting the match.

Martin's issue is that he doesn't care about Penrith like he does NSW. He needled up to play Origin and they were his only good games in 2024

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Now that we have been helped out this week by the Raiders and Warriors it would be criminal to not finish the deal next week and get second. I would be resting Dyl but that is it.

 

[globalpanther]

Only standing tickets left so if anyone wants to go they better be quick

Edwards chances of a rest has been hurt by the other bums in the side. If we were playing better he'd get a rest

That's absolute bullshit, he bleeds Penrith.

I would still rest him for Laurie this week.

Performances in 2024 say otherwise
