Round 10 Panthers V Storm

[WestyLife]

That would be correct if we had one.

The team is the utility. Bit of shifting but stronger bench.

We need middles that can play edge. edge forwards that can play centre.
We have neither so this the result

 

[Iamback]

Trying to cover for every possible injury is foolish. He hasn't learned his lesson from May.
Critter and Api cover 1-7, just pick any second rower and trust them to defend at centre if needed. Salmon isn't good enough to be out there

where is this 2nd rower though?

 

[CCJohnC]

As I had said before little change as change for change's sake does not work.

 

[Panfa]

Luai can't control a game either, infact he's worse at it than Burton.

Have you watched Canterbury games and Burton of late and when he filled in for us during origin I bet not.

Can't Hopgood play about of middle?

 

[Iamback]

Can't Hopgood play about of middle?

Nope he is straight middle.

The only edge forward that can play is Chris Smith

 

[The_Frog]

The team is the utility. Bit of shifting but stronger bench.

You remember this round in 2019 when a backrower covered centre? It was 20-0 in even time against Wests Tigers. This is the Storm.

 

[Panfa]

Still has Kenny and Salmon.

Can someone explain to me the love affair cleary has with these 2 blokes seriously.1 guy can only cover hooker and he doesn't even cover hooker the other guy is an average Joe at best and doesn't have a preferred position.

 

[Smug Panther]

Have you watched Canterbury games and Burton of late and when he filled in for us during origin I bet not.

Yes he shat on Luai when both played together

 

[BossleyPanther]

I like Chris he should be Infront of Kenny or Salman especially against Melbourne

 

[BxTom]

Not really. It's pretty obvious which team will provide a better platform and support for their 5/8.

Good halves improve a team. Reynolds to Broncos for instance. Burton is a good player but lacks the experience. Luai is lacking form at present and having new centre and winger is likely affecting his game, but Luai has runs on the board and , when in form, a better player than Burton - by a country mile.

 

[Black Magik]

Us 8
Them 24

 

[Iamback]

I like Chris he should be Infront of Kenny or Salman especially against Melbourne

He is playing full games and ave 75m gained.

As I said not much form

 

[Panfa]

As I had said before little change as change for change's sake does not work.

I know we have a 8 and 1 record but if you can strengthen a team than why not do it,we are playing the storm not the knights or dogs.Melbourne will welcome back kamikamica and we have Kenny nice.

Ivan is trying to counter what Brandon Smith does off the bench with Kenny

Maybe off Wish.com

We actually have one of the biggest packs. So small bench is fine just need more versatile guys

 

[DinkyDi]

Ivan's off his f**king head keeping both Kenny and Salmon and dropping Eisenhuth.

I'm no fan of Huth and could handle him missing out for Smith, Hopgood etc.

But not for Kenny or Salmon. One utility is plenty.

Which Smith?

 

[Crashtest]

Bellamy lost that game with his bench, we didn't win it

All you can do is beat the team put in front of you, and the Panthers did exactly that. That comment just undermines what the Panthers achieved last season on their way to winning the Premiership.

The Storm won a record 19 straight games last season, yet the Panthers rose up to the challenge and were the ones who knocked them out of winning the premiership. Enough said.
