Round 10 panthers v titans

[chrisD]

The comment you replied to was three paragraphs and the guys who posted actually said he still wants Leniu to get more minutes. You are just death riding Huth because he doesnt run fast enough for your liking.

Yeah I replied to one instance with another and being too slow is definitely one of his issues.

 

[mxlegend99]

Meh I agree with ChrisD. There's normally a very noticeable momentum shift when Eisenhuth comes on. His runs just dont have the same impact as the rest of our team and his defensive numbers are decent but the opposition make more metres once he comes on.

He's not bad or anything but he's not as good as the rest of our team either. He's the weakest link in our pack IMO.

Hopgood to debut as Panther #600

 

[betcats]

Stoked to see hopgood get a run.

Panthers coach Ivan Cleary has named his squad to face Gold Coast Titans at Suncorp Stadium on Sunday.

Liam Martin joins the starting side with Kurt Capewell sidelined under the NRL concussion protocols.

22-year-old Hervey Bay junior J'maine Hopgood will make his NRL debut off the bench as Panther No.600.

Scott Sorensen retains his place on the bench after making his first NRL appearance in Panthers colours last Friday, while Paul Momirovski joins the reserves following the completion of his three-game suspension.

The Panthers will wear the 2021 Away Jersey.

Can someone, please, tell me why Spencer is out of favour?

 

[mxlegend99]

That's a pretty average looking bench to be honest. Starting side is phenomenal. But the bench just doesn't look close to what it did recently.

Should be good enough to get the job done. Kinda happy to see Hopgood play and some more of Sorensen. But I think we've lost a huge advantage we had against teams with Leniu and Martin coming off the bench

Because we have. Hopefully it's just getting minutes but a little worried Leniu is dropped.

A few injuries here after 8 games on the surface is the biggest risk

Agree, that is really my biggest concern. Apparently the ground was ripped up badly by the Super Rugby Grand Final the week before. We have been blessed on the injury front to players like Cleary, Luai, Fish, Yeo and To'o so far. I would hate for any of them to suffer an ACL injury in that game. I'd almost be tempted to play our NSW Cup Team just for kicks.

Would be to get games game time before we need them

 

[murraymob]

He is not out of favour just getting more game time in reserves

 

[franklin2323]

Except no reserve grade this week.

 

[WestyLife]

Except no reserve grade this week.

Exactly. He's getting negative minutes.

 

[Luke Bowden]

He needs game time, he’ll be back when we play a better team.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Stoked for Hopgood!! I think he’s going to be a good one!! Reminds me of Liam Martin.

 

[chrisD]

Yeah I dunno

 

[franklin2323]

Exactly. He's getting negative minutes.

So he must be out of favour then.

 

[franklin2323]

0 mins for 2 weeks.. if dropped for match fitness is dumb

mean't to rain all week too. Should do Sat at Suncorp. Sunday at GC or something

We all know Ivan falls very short once he starts to play tricky games (Like May at centre during the finals, for reasons?) Let's hope he's not outsmarting himself again
