Round 1 Panthers Vs Cowboys - Panthers Stadium

[murraymob]

I think really only the last bench spot up for grabs

I agree no real reason to change much from the 17 on the weekend .Last bench spot up for grabs .Its a good line up to match the cows.We hold them up the middle we win

I'd match their bench. If they go small then the last bench spot should be small if not then 1-17 from the weekend should play

Pretty much. Will be interesting to see how Ivan goes.

Staines hasn’t been pushed backwards on a hit up yet. He’s not sauce and he never will be but imo he’s doing better than expected on those hit ups given he looks about 12 years old.

As long as he’s not another Ken Gittens for us

 

[The_Frog]

The Cowboys will be a really tough game.

I think so too with Payten at the helm, but if we accord them all due respect we'll be right.

Hopgood over Eisenhuth? Dreamin. Not sure what Girds issue with the Huth is but he was solid during the trial, done his job well.

Eisenhuth was solid but Hopgood in that trial looked better than solid, not sure what way I'd go tbh but if it ends up Hopgood I can see why, he was impressive.

I think it's Cleary's way that all Eisenhuth and Mimorosvski had to do to retain their positions round 1 was show they're not unfit or incapable of defending in their positions, and they both did that without issue.

I think Hopgood's effort might have pushed himself up to first drop.

Unless we go on a losing streak or someone's proving a defensive liability I expect the fringe guys - Naden, Hopgood, Burton, will have to wait for injuries to get a run. Or at least a good 4 games of the people in front of them performing poorly.

And I'm fine with that tbh.

My biggest ? is if Api is going to get a rest and I suppose May some time at hooker.

That is why the club bought him. Eisenhuth did his job and will be in the 17 round 1.

Too many threads

Are you f**king 7 years old?

If Eisenhuth knows he is in the top 17 then no point going too hard. Wheras Hopgood is going to want to impress

Hope that's what it was.

Eisenhuth did a good job, he fit into the defensive structure nicely and will improve.
Hopgood will get his time, especially if he keeps that form up.

Nope I'm a clown, and petty,
you here seem to be the voice of reason, thanks for contributing, incase you haven't read all 6 pages of the thread the summary ended up that we were both giving it to each other because we both are fiercely territorial and love our team, join the band!

Could be worse you could an Eels fan.

Ah I see I caught the first draft. What can I say the speed of Staines up in here. My response still stands. We can be petty, we can be clowns, we can be territorial but we still follow the better team and are a level above.

Little segway actually watched an Eels fan pour his beer over a kid at Panthers stadium in 2016 just because he could.

I think they just updated it recently to some kind of nearly human lifeform. Evolution isn't my strong suit though.

Eisenhuth is 100% a plodder. That's just the way he runs. But don't focus on what does before the line. Focus on what does when he hits the line. That's what coaches care about. He plays the ball at a decent speed and gets away some offloads and is a good defender. That's enough. He's not a lazy shit, defender like Woods.

I know footy fans particularly Penrith fans like to players ripping in, running hard and for a lot of people it's not a great look but as long the dude does his job reliabily that's all that Ivan would want. The Storm won premierships putting these cheap props who don't look impressive but reliabily do their job into their team.

I'd prefer Martin as a bench prop and Matt as depth but I don't think it's bad for him to be in the 17.

In the business end of the season I'd like for Matt's minutes to be eased but for him to be told to get involved in the defense as much as he can. Hopefully that would have a flow on effect of allowing Api in Yeo to play a better 80 minutes in attack in the last 20 of games minutes of games.
