Round 14 v Silvertails

[Whino]

I was referring to individual Penrith players that some folks 'get a set against'.

It was an attempt to be slightly lighthearted.

I know you were. I was changing the direction.

 

[Whino]

All rep players named. Edwards on an extended bench.
Toelau named 14. I like that. Hopefully he provides impact.
Garner back too.

 

[age.s]

Very cool that Toelau keeps his spot, at least notionally. Well deserved after his cameo.

 

[soc123_au]

Good news on Taelau, he has earned his shot after last week.

 

[Iamback]

If Edwards plays. Laurie would move into the 14.

I don't think Moses plays either so a lot of wait and see with the side

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

Fair enough.

I don’t see any reason for Laurie or any back to be on the bench when Garner and Sorenson are fit. Garner covers the backs well if one goes down, tick. Toelau or Sommerton in that 14 can at least offer something in a 20 min cameo.

Hopefully everyone gets through Origin unscathed. I’d expect Martin, To”o and Leota to drop out at least.

Kenny will play 80 mins though.

How do you get Toelau on in that case?

Laurie means we can give Edwards, To'o or Luai an early mark

Maybe Toelau goes to hooker, Kenny to lock for 20-30 minutes depending on how Isaah pulls up?

Henry and Smith can play big minutes as we saw last week.

Them and Garner can do 50mins easily. I am not against giving Kenny a break but I think that is a non Origin week move. Probably one we see when Cleary is back to give Cole game time

 

[The Teach]

I agree...its going to be interesting to see how ivan uses the bench this week regardless of who plays after origin

 

[age.s]

Edwards missing Origin and playing for us would be such a glorious middle finger to the Origin machine.

 

[Sime_11]

Yeo said that Dyl made the call to sit it out? he reckons he could have played but didnt want to risk it for the team

would Teddy do the same? 100% hell no

Dyl is a man of the people

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

I totally agree. I find this 'state friendly' that always helps out qld.......one of the great ho hums in the footy calendar......The media carry on.

The faux outrage by the qld team each and every year.

I am SO OVER IT.

 

[betcats]

Toleau is easier to get into the game than Laurie off the bench tbh And I think he gives us the ability to cover more spots. Back goes down cole can shift into centres. Forward goes down Kenny can shift into Middle role for a stint. Toleau comes on in the halves or at hooker. If no one goes down straight swap to spell Kenny. Or yeo comes off, Kenny to lock for a stint.

With Laurie he almost purely covers the halves or fullback.

Given we named our origin boys I think we will rest a couple depending on how tonight goes

I don't think Moses will play but if we run out with the pack named.

Then the 14 isn't getting on anyway. So becomes who you want cover. Edwards carrying and injury and Luai backing up seem the most likely to get an early mark and need covering.

Smith or Henry will just play longer to get Yeo off

We need to bounce back this week. We need the two points.

I’ll miss the game (live) in Melbourne for a trip. Intend to catch the Jersey Flegg game vs the Storm at AAMI before finding a comfortable pub to watch our game against the Sea Eagles. That in itself can be a challenge in Melbourne will probably have to ask the bar staff to put one TV on the NRL.

Shame but it should be easy enough to find a spot to watch. It's the only game I'll be able to watch live this year switched work days with a work mate.

We don’t like missing home games but in this instance no choice. There’s only the Swans v Cats game on AFL at the same time as our game so we will have no issues finding a screen somewhere.
