Round 14 vs Dragons

[Panfa]

Cogger could be a decent go at number 9,short stocky good kicking game and as a half can give good quick service to the halves.

I assume cogger is in to give cleary a rest if we are doing OK.

Bit disappointing. He offers nothing

We don't know that but we do know what Luke was offering.

Yep, similar road as Wallace, Gower and Hunt

 

[Fangs]

Cogger's first game of the year yes?

Good luck to him.

Luke certainly deserved to be dropped. He's not the answer

Neither is Kenny

 

[Chins get the wins]

Neither is Kenny

Correct but he's been outplaying Luke

 

[Girds89]

We don't know that but we do know what Luke was offering.

He's as slow as Kenny.

He's not the answer..

 

[Iamback]

Correct but he's been outplaying Luke

Not on hooker stats.

Kenny 0 tries. 1 Try assist
Luke 1 try. 3 try assists.

Luke has more kicks.

Luke not being able to play 80 hurts him but Kenny only tackles

 

[Iamback]

Same.

Lindsay Smith is developing well. And no words needed for both Martin & Leniu.

This could get ugly if they indeed dominate the middle for the entire 80 mins.

And if To'o or Critter cramp up after backing up?

I guess Cogger is the cover. But you don't need 5 props in a squad.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Assuming line up is -

Edwards
Too
Critchon
Tago
Turuva
Luai
Cleary
Leota
Kenny
Fisher-Harris
Sorensen
Hosking
Yeo

Cogger
Leniu
Martin
Smith
?

Smart on Ivan to get runs and minutes into Salmon and Luke in the nsw cup side. Great to see Tago return into the nrl side and Cogger given some game time to see how he goes with the nrl side. Smith keeps his spot too. Assuming that’s what’s happening.

He’s been placed in cup for longer minutes.

He’ll be back with increased minutes from what I’ve heard.

Salmon playing cup to prep for playing against the Cows at 6.

Salmon has done nothing out there. Better have other options

 

[ColdWetPanther]

I have a bad feeling about this game. I worry the team will be quite flat.

We'd heard this over and over again last year from you..

Bout needing to cover a back if they go down.

For the 10-15% chance it happens it's not worth covering that position with a player all year... statistically way more likely to get a hia or injury in the forwards.

If a back gets an injury you just have to reshuffle and deal with it.

Salmon can't cover centre anyway. Way way to slow

 

[Kilkenny]

Luke played 72 minutes today, his try assist for the Longi try was brilliant piece of skill.

Calm your farm, it’s not an audition, he has the job, it’s about getting game time into his legs and above all, not getting injured.

He’s done the job for us before and he will again .

Don’t expect this post to be received well by the Soni Luke Haters

Had a hand in another in a pretty good performance.

Comfortable win overall, but scrappy at times but nice to string a couple of wins together.

 

[BossleyPanther]

I hope Cogger makes something of this. Would be good to see someone push for that 9 spot.
