Round 10 Vs Cowboys

[age.s]

The horse gotta be there abouts for QLD also.

Yeah. A shame we couldn't have nabbed him when he was on the outer down there.

The angry ranga has been pretty good, you would think he would be thereabouts.

 

[betcats]

Given its Biz last chance to play before origin does he get picked if he misses this week? surely not

Kiraz is the flavour of the month. Lomax will be back as well.

 

[Munky]

Kiraz has been the closest player to To'o in the NRL for a few seasons.

Was one of the few Dogs players who looked good pre Ciraldo.

To'o will be first picked for the Blues if he's fit. I'd be picking Olakau'atu as the NSW bench edge with Martin/Crichton locks for the starts. With Haas/May/Yeo/Crichton/Martin the starting pack you really need max impact/short minutes from your bench so Ola, Leniu are perfect.

I don't know what Cleary was thinking with Toelau starting. Broncs have a dominant starting front row and it was always going to be a rough opening stint with the middle being softer. It worked out ok as we clung on for that period and then made it count when Haas/Carrigan were off but it could have got ugly. I'd be keen to see Toelau get 20 in the second half this week. With Cleary likely missing a few games coming up, I think we'll want Toelau on the bench in case Schneider/Cole are not cutting it at 7.

 

[Fangs]

If it's old Laurie Daley coaching then yes. To'o is in. No panthers will be dropped. He's big on loyalty...his test is in the halves. I see him picking all three with one riding the bench (Moses, Luai and Cleary).

The heavens would open if he dropped any of our guys. A massive boon for us.

He will 100%

I think worrying about his fitness would apply to most normal players but To'o is a special case who'll still be first picked if he's back for Panthers.

 

[Panfa]

The number 14 should go to Jack cole he can cover centre 5/8 halfback lock and hooker perfect utility,hes too good for nsw cup and if we don't use him we will lose him and regret it.Plus he is a good defender.

 

[Panfa]

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about with toelau,hes mid 20s not that young and the couple of first grade games he has played have been sub par.Add his small frame and poor defence i have cole over him any day of the week.

 

[Luke Bowden]

I’ve loved what I’ve seen from Blaize, his confidence grows with every game.

 

[Chins]

He's building well. I would like to see him back himself and pull the tigger but that will come.

 

[Oldpanther86]

Yep it was much better Nathan being able to play straight at the defence with Talagi hanging around both sides of the field. When he gets it 110% consistently he'll be very dangerous

 

[betcats]

His kicking is ahead of where i thought it would be also and defensively he does what he has to in terms of putting his body on the line. He hasnt done a lot of kicking but when has kicked they have been good. He will blow a game open with that running game very soon and once he does i think we will see him really grow

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Yeah. A shame we couldn't have nabbed him when he was on the outer down there.

I’m looking for the emoji

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Yeah; I was keen to see Cole stay in the side till Magic around but I was wrong; I think Blaize has looked really good since the second half of the Roosters game.

 

[Sime_11]

Blaise is looking better each week - i still think he is overhyped, but he's starting to feel comfortable in the squad

he certainly has shades of excitement when he's in open space - just let him keep developing and working with Nathan and the team

 

[Chins]

He's got a big boot for a skinny kid

Yeah if he has any accuracy id like to see us use that a bit later in the year. Cleary is such an obvious target for kick pressure and for the opp FB to read our kicks it would be easy to use him as a dummy - as in Nath sets up for 40/20 on one side to get FB going wrong way and we go to Blaize on the other side.
