Rnd 18 vs Penrith team list thread

[Glenneel]

When Smith was getting game time in the 9 I was really impressed with his D. It was 2 or 3 seasons ago though so who knows. It appears BA gets a new "9" project every year. Smith, Davies, Stone. I wonder who next years project will be. Hopefully Schnider but its gone very quiet on this kid again. BAs probably gone off him as well.
I also agree re Smiths kicking. Hes a brain explosion kicker. Fu*ken useless. One kick and Id tear up his contract.

Has BA even talked to Schneider? Ffs.

Apparently Kaufusi not feeling the best before game so given limited minutes. Would have normally come in and replaced Niukore when he went off early. Has some rib problem I've heard.

* gastro problem I heard

Well that's great news even if he doesn't play. I think resting is a goood idea either way

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

How will changing his name help?

It will be a hard game to gauge. Parra have a 5 day turnaround which makes it very hard to win. They also have half the spine missing and most likely best bench forward in Niakuore.
If Eels did stick within 14 points and met again with a 7 day turnaround and the spine at full strength youd have to imagine they'd flip the result.

I'd say Penrith need to win by 20 points in this one against a severely weakened EELS side.

Unfortunately i dont think we get a full strength spine back this year

Yep just shows how professional the Panthers, Roosters and Storm are. They ensured that their injuries took place mid comp instead of the end. Something something AFL guy.

So we just need to get Penrith Players to not hit him on the shoulder?

Attacking injuries is such a pooncey AFL move

Even if Reed was ok for Friday, id rest him anyway to make sure

Would look to rest one or two others, who have played every game this year, freshen up for the finals.

Its a 5 day turnaround and beating Penrith isn't a must, most likely play them 1st week of the finals, we can go full throttle there

 

[lingard]

Id go this way

Bring Smith on last 10min of the half and first 10-15 min of second half
He has speed and energy, something we have lacked off the bench

Just no kicking

No kicking, hardly any passing, no tackling. Just ………… running?

Sam Hughes on the list for the first time. That's exciting.

 

[emjaycee]

Damn I like the look of that 1-13.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Interesting Hughes gets a spot over Taka / Gower

 

[84 Baby]

Penrith by 30 premiership rings

It's coz Taka Gower is a form of Japanese pottery.
