Round 14 vs Dragons

[martielang]

Would like to see Garner get a prolonged stretch on that left edge. I think his line running could open up a bit of space.

Hoskings is going good but we really give him limited opportunities to show what he has other than grunt work. Runs some decent lines that get ignored a lot.

 

[BossleyPanther]

I have to say that was out best Bench for a very very long time. Apparently Nathan had a niggle before the game and why Cogger was put in. With a fit squad that bench would be impactful enough to go all the way.

I think Garner has potential but who misses out? As Martin regains match fitness I would assume that he will go back on the Left edge where Sorenson currently is, and Soro back to the bench.

The reason I like Garner particularly on the bench is because he can play centre more than adequately and that provides cover for the outside backs.

As you say he runs good lines as a 2nd rower but he seems to lack fitness of a good 2nd rower and his defence is a little rickety - and that is a big no no in our current Panther team.

I’m not suggesting you don’t passionately follow the Blues, not at all mate, it is just me. I watch SOO hoping for a Blues win, but more than anything I watch hoping our representatives come thru unscathed, it’s just me.

Its not just you. Very apathetic to Origin these days.

 

[WestyLife]

Seriously mate, if anyone’s opinions don’t fit your narrative you just call them out.

It is tiresome. How often do you put forward a like for anyone’s opinions other than your fan boys.

No objectivity.

I think you are clearly very passionate and for that you should be commended but you just don’t tolerate anyone who opposes your perspective.

The irony of the cheerleader calling others not objective.

Flange Jnr doing pretty good at 9 in NSW cup. If we have any spare cash I'd be making a pre June 30 play for him.

In my wishful thinking department, maybe do a TPJ type loan on Ben Hunt, if he signs elsewhere for 2024.

Certainly worth a shot due to being a back up half too

We seem to find 20 odd mins for Salmon.

That would be my start, It likely takes him getting extended minutes due to HIA.

Certainly a point of difference then we currently have in the 17

It might of been fine last night but long term it doesn't work.

Spencer with match fitness gets more than 29 mins.

Martin too only played 46.

 

[MrBlack]

St George should do all they can to keep Hunt. They were a literal one man show last night.

Cogger went better than I thought he would. Will improve knowinghe has the 7 for a few weeks to come.

T'oo was strong, Taruva was safe, Martin was outstanding and probably our best on field.

I think Luai is going ok (trying hard, but its just not coming off for him). There is so much more focus on him lately. I really hope he doesnt get selected for SOO2.

Actually hope none of our boys get selected. Im a bit over all the Panther blame. If there are better players, then pick them....

Lastly - funny how no one is talking up M.Moses to replece Cleary.

There aren't really any Form halfbacks in the NRL this year. DCE started the year in hot form but has been mediocre since. The closest I can think of is Reynolds. This year, he is the best halfback over the course of the season.

Hynes versus bottom eight opposition...

I thought Cole was a half?

M.Moses has the best kicking game after Nathan but he isnt clutch.Also goal kicks. Hynes is in the squad and is the best ballplayer but not a great kicker. Reynolds is most experienced and goal kicks and a great kick game also.

I'm unsure who's the best player of the 3. Hynes is in the squad however so maybe go with him. It's a toss of the coin.

 

[hindy111]

He is

Not ready? I thought he may come in to contention.

Very few consistently good sides out there, Even less with NSW eligible halves running around

I think he's injured

B.Hunt for me has been the best in comp. Dragons would be dreadfully without him.
