Round 11 vs. New Zealand Warriors @Suncorp (Magic Round)

[Iamback]

Alamoti - supposed bad in defence. 23 tackles 3 missed with a rookie in Cole next to him v Kiks.

May 14 tackles 4 misses - looking more and more like a winger each week

He looks really uncomfortable at times playing centre.

 

[Black Diamond]

He just can't kick but Cole gives us a 2nd kicking option.

Yeo can kick! Did you miss his 2 tries from kicks! Ha ha

Passing especially. He is the one I'd put in Mav's role with a look to either edge forward. Or back to wing next year

We have overpaid for both our centres. Hindsight is everything but we should have paid Critter and backed a kid haha

Word I got was his manager was playing games. Hence the club not thanking him in the announcement he was leaving.

So not sure he was an option.

Tago's is only $600k unless he plays Origin. I am happy to pay more if he becomes good.

$1m for centres isn't too bad. Of them filling a Fish sized hole in the pack is more handy

Well we are very safe with Tago and Origin for a while if ever

Yeoweh's kicks all result in tries...

I think May's been ok at centre. Hasn't really delivered the destruction he showed glimpses of early on and defense is up and down. Not sure why he falls down so often either. He's good for like 2 stumbles every game on average.

I think its good for him to be getting an extended go in the position at this stage of the season though. Having 3 centre options and 3 wing options gives us so much wiggle room. It'd be very interesting to see what would happen if Too or Turuva were unavailable for a big game at the end of the year. I agree Ivan would likely be conservative but I think Alamoti offers more at centre atm.

I am sure if the club knew they had JFH money they would have sadly that money if known could have changed a few things.But they did not so know so not much can be done

The opposition knows Yam is going to run the ball every touch with near zero chance of getting it to his winger.

The defence can square him up much easier when they know they don't have to worry about anything but good first contact.

 

[Fangs]

Johnson injured.

 

[murraymob]

Has jett Cleary left for me or still with us

 

[Chins get the wins]

Johnson injured.

More bad luck for us

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Love your contributions RBB.

im ok with Cole getting the job done. We are usually without Nathan this time of the year with SOO commitments. At least this way he returns rested.

Still in the top 4 without breaking into a sweat really. This season was always going to be about building into the finals.

ill also be at magic round. 3rd year running. If you want to venture away from Caxton st, the Newstead brewery is on the other side of the stadium. Its also close to my gate so its last drinks before we get in.

Yeah nice. I’ll be there - might wear one of my 15 different Panthers jerseys or might wear one of my 7 different Bears jerseys. Whatever I wear, my partner - she’ll wear the opposite that is usually how we roll.

I think she’s keen on the turquoise 2010 Panthers away jersey this year.

It’s a toss if the coin on either Cole or Laurie.

Personally, I would go with Daine Laurie.

As I know you watch a lot of Cup games what are their strengths and weaknesses and why pick Laurie? Is he just more ready at this point?

What ever of those 2 can actually kick long because luai has sucked most of the year .Has me leaning towards cole

Between that and a Bears jersey I think you are getting the better of the deal!!

Bears had some cracking jerseys in the 90s
