Good to know! So it's really Kenny then that we need to worry about.

Kenny you would hope (if the rules allow) would be next when Dallin leaves.

According to the media Naden was given special dispensation to play.

No worries. I didn't double check since I assumed the info on their own site would be accurate

The site is basically run these days by the NRL. I know that the admin folks aren't happy with the 'slopeyness' at which things like the players list is updated. You will notice all NRL have the basic same site with colours, and imput and graphics changed.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Didn't see the game (Thursday night games suck balls.)

Yay us though.

 

[Marky Mark]

Don’t like bagging the refs but I thought there at least 2 or 3 high shots on us that went unpunished. Especially one on To’o (not long after Fuimaono’s hit on Sironnen).
And JFH, take a bow! Punched out 169 metres to go along with his 62 tackles!! Beast.

JFH is a beast - I concur!

 

[Marky Mark]

Yeah it means there is a spot available, we will have to upgrade him.

Then DWZ should get the boot asap - sad to say

 

[Marky Mark]

There goes the theory you cant play Sunday and back up for 1st grade on thursday look who was man of the match.Martin killed it against wenty then smashed manly guy is a machine well done liam what a motor.

You're right Mark - he's sick!

 

[Panfa]

I think the next young panther in line for a first grade debut should be spencer leniu.The guy is killing it in Canterbury cup very powerful front rower with great footwork and speed for a big guy.Hes averaging over 200m a game in canterbury cup we should use him for grant.

NRL run them. Have top 30. Development and others to play in profiles

tim grant is now out long term we may be able to bring him up depending on who else is available

 

[forby]

Isn’t he one of the development players?

 

[TheFrog]

I know that the admin folks aren't happy with the 'slopeyness' at which things like the players list is updated.

I'd guess this is why Wikipedia is being used by the club.

Jack Hetherington would have to be used first. Another top 30 player seemingly out of favour. There seem to be quite a number of them. Maybe Jack could serve his next suspension early?

 

[franklin2323]

Leinu is a development player. Come June 30 he can play without an exemption.

You'd think Martin to prop for Grant is short term plan

I’d hope Martin continues to play a little wider than prop, with his step & running he’s more valuable with a bit of space.

Winterstein and Kikau are edge players though. Both needed for different reasons. Maybe Martin can defend middle but attack Edge

 

[Dave's mate]

I’d hope Martin continues to play a little wider than prop, with his step & running he’s more valuable with a bit of space.

Id leave him on that edge and push Kikau to prop with Edwards given instructions to follow him at all times
