Round 10 v NZW

[Big Mick]

Hopefully Fish and Leniu back this week based on injury report last week.

1. Edwards
2. Tito
3. Jenkins
4. Critta
5. To'o
6. Luai
7. Cleary
8. Leota
9. Sommerton
10. Fisher-Harris
11. Garner
12. Hosking
13. Yeo

14. Luke
15. Sorenson
16. Leniu
17. Salmon

18. Smith
19. Henry
20. Peachey
21. Cole
22. Kenny

Depending on how Garner trains on the edge - open to moving Sorro back to start on edge for one more week and bring Smith back onto the bench.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Garner has to start on the left, its a no brainer. Although it’s been a no brainer for two weeks now.

Tend to agree.

Any chance you’re in charge of team selections this week?

 

[BossleyPanther]

Magic Round - Suncorp.

Ahh, I forgot. Ok my apologies. We should be fired up to win this ... Against another ex Panther 9.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Need to find a way to remove either Salmon or Luke/Kenny from the bench. We need more impact. I've ALWAYS maintained Peachey is a f**king awful hooker but maybe he has to be 14

 

[Whino]

With that surface up there I am glad we are the 3rd game and not the last.

 

[Fangs]

Never rated him at all but maybe put Blacker on the bench. We need some size

He'd be the only one who could sort of emulate Leinu on the bench due to his size. Just needs to make 5 runs a game and give it his all.

 

[Fangs]

Yes he does. Sorensen should continue off the bench. Plays good football for us there.

Couldn't agree more. They'll have to call if ACL Sundays at Suncorp because that surface isn't looking too good.

They should move Magic Round to Anzac Weekend. After 8 games the Suncorp surface will resemble Northern France in 1917.

Early mail

Panthers: Matt Eisenhuth is expected to miss out due to a shoulder injury.
This should be offset by the looming returns of James Fisher-Harris and Spencer Leniu who are strong chances to return from injury.

Who is going to provide more impact?

 

[Chins get the wins]

Who is going to provide more impact?

Anyone larger than Kenny for a start. His handy defence in the middle isn't worth playing without a prop for such long minutes. Playing prop for Penrith is actually one of the easiest jobs in the NRL with our backs doing all the work.

It’s certainly not easier, they are expected to maintain a higher level of intensity for a longer period. They aren’t allowed to tire in other words.

while I don’t really have an issue with Salmon or Kenny coming out. I personally can’t see anyone knocking down the door to come in.

Peachy isn’t an improvement over Salmon.

if Jack Cole could rest Soni, then maybe him, but that means we need 60-70 mins out of Soni.

Preston Riki is injured.

I like Blacker but his not been setting the world on fire.

Watch us win the middle look good and make my ramblings last week look like an insane person.

Still concerning with no Spencer next year

It is. Peachey not in reserve grade so will be in first grade again. Very cool.

 

[Whino]

Fish back. Huth out.Spencer on extended bench.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Fish needs some angry pills he was far too timid even before the injury.

I think he will have a good game. A man like that hates being on the sideline. Let's rip!
