Round 14 vs Dragons

[Michael Matral]

I know it's early but it's an important game, this is one we need to bank.

1. Edwards
2. Turuva
3. Tago(if back)/Garner
4. Chrichton
5. Jenkins
6. Peachey
7. Cogger
8. Leota
9. Kenny
10. Fish
11. Soro
12. Hosking
13. Eisenhuth
14. Luke
15. Smith
16. Salmon
17. Riki

Thoughts?

Spencer is a chance of being back

 

[betcats]

Henry will get picked I think. Bench will be something like Henry/Garner/L.Smith/Salmon. Seems a good chance Kenny will start at 13 and Luke at hooker. Kenny will get a rest and spell Luke at hooker at some point.

I'd be tempted to have Luai back up. Anything to keep Peach out of the 6.

 

[Old and Disgruntled]

This is a Sunday 6.15pm game, more than enough time for players to back up( barring injuries), then Roosters the following Saturday night.

 

[Michael Matral]

Looks like Critter has been called up as 18th man

 

[YoungPanther]

I'd play them all after SOO1. It will be almost 2 weeks since they played Broncs. Then the following Sunday (after SOO1), Saturday week and another 10 days off to SOO2.

I think rest them all after SOO3, but other than injury, I think they all should back up after SOO1.

One of the trickiest parts of the season coming up for the Panthers. I'm not a fan of any players backing up with a shortened turn around but most clubs still do it.

Penrith went 3 from 3 in 2022 after Origin:

Origin Game 1 - To'o, Luai, Cleary, Martin, Yeo, Crichton...42-6 win over Newcastle. All players back up except Yeo (He was concussed in game 1).

Origin Game 2 - To'o, Luai, Cleary, Martin, Yeo, Crichton...26-18 win over Roosters. All players back up.

Origin Game 3 - To'o, Luai, Cleary, Martin, Yeo, Crichton, Korisau...18-16 win over Tigers. All players rested.

Keep in mind we were 4-6 points clear in 1st when we played these games. So considering our ladder position now I assume everyone will back up for this Dragons game.

Thought it was Campbell Graham.

Thought it was Campbell Graham.

Pulled out with injury

 

[Black Panther]

Pulled out with injury

I bet he plays for Souths this weekend.

 

[snickers007]

I bet he plays for Souths this weekend.

Either the NRL needs to step in, or the Blues simply blacklist him from any future games.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Salmon at 6 for me. He’s done it before.

 

[jane the pain]

Thought it was Campbell Graham.

He withdrew

 

[Chins get the wins]

Salmon at 6 for me. He’s done it before.

Haha

 

[Iamback]

Crichton will be 6 before Peachey.

I think they just insert the NSW Cup halves for familarity. Garner has a decent combo with Falls which allows Sorro to the bench for impact

If that 17 for NSW is true, Martin can back up as he will get limited time.

I'd run this 17

Edwards
Turuva
Tago
Crichton
Jenkins
Falls
Cogger
Leota
Kenny
JFH
Garner
Hosking
Peachey

Luke
Smith
Sorensen
Salmon

We don't have any post Origin byes. Guess it depends on whether they feel we can get in a position to rest guys later

Why? Think he should have every right to play for South’s. 18th man should come from a team with a bye or if not, the player/club should be allowed to play the weekend before.

I think they are allowed to play. Im sure we got Critta back for a game once.

There was a time the 18th man could go back to their club now they don't.
