Reserve Grade discussion.

Luai has been very frantic and sideways. Needs to learn to straighten up.

Yep and no surprise that when we won the comp we had a 28yo halfback

We aren't getting experience so no point going on about it. Maloney didn't fix it either.

What a bunch of Z graders lol

I mean in these grades and more then just one or 2 guys. Look at that try got Luai next to a Flegg player in his 2nd game

 

[OldPanther]

I hope this is just Luai being stuck on the bench. @herbert henry1908 said he's a 7 but there's no organising or direction.

Whatever malaise the Panthers are suffering seems to be right through the club. Bears giving reserve grade a bath.

I don't see him as a half fullstop

Where would you play him?

 

[10Grand]

These are the issues of being a development club,there has to be more quality players brought in from other clubs at all levels..

 

[franklin2323]

Where would you play him?

Hooker. Or fullback

 

[herbert henry1908]

Hooker. Or fullback

How can a guy with only 71% tackle efficiency play hooker? He’s not a good defender, you can’t play in the middle of the field unless you can defend.

it’d be an absolute carve up.


Maybe he can play fullback, but he’ll never be a hooker at FG level.

We started the 2nd half on fire with pua and lui toso as soon as mckendry came back on we have turned to shit guys gotta retire hes useless lazy defender and gives away dumb penalties

2 wins from 8 now down here. Just young kids hitting the wall really

Staines needs to work on his defence wont play 1st grade with defence like that laurie is better in my oinion.

Two poor one on one misses leading to tries. Obviously will grow and bulk up in the next season or two but on both occasions there was a major flaw in his technique which needs to be fixed.

An 18yo shouldn't be in NSW Cup but he is so atleast highlights those flaws

If true this is sad. Once upon a time he was pretty much the first prop forward NZ picked.

 

[martielang]

I think Lui Toso will likely go to another club & become a decent bench option. No idea how he’s not a starter in CC nor had a crack at first grade this year.

Understand the point Panfa was trying to make but our demise or poor showing was nothing to do with McKendry we were just poor across the whole 17.

Fitness and injuries have been an issue for him throughout his entire time with us.

He may benefit from a change of environment I hope someone picks him up he’s not done just yet.
