Despite enjoying a nine-match winning streak, Cameron Ciraldo has made some changes in key positions for his Penrith Panthers NYC side’s showdown with Wests Tigers. SG Ball success story Nathan Cleary has been named at five-eighth while Dylan Edwards, who wore the number six against the Bulldogs, has been named in the centres.

Pretty decent sides all things considered.
How long is Moss and BMM out for.
Are Corey Waddell, Thomson Tuigamala and Nathan Cleary related to Greg, Sonny and Ivan? Oh yep Nathan is Ivans son, can't find anything about the other two.

 

[ranga]

Corey is the late great Stevens son and Thomson is sonnys bro

If it wasn't for injuries our team wouldn't change each week. Cleary refuses to drop poor performing players... unless he's trying to piss them off to make it easier to get rid of them.

Cartwright should be in the halves playing 80 minutes. Yeo should be in the centres ahead of Blake and trying his best to get the forwards going like Mansour will and Idris used to.

Why not give Tupou Sopoaga or Latu a run? Give Will Smith a run on the bench as our utility. Not bring the now healthy Josh Mansour in for the injured James Segeyaro and a reshuffle of positions.

 

[TheFrog]

Cleary has made it clear at recent press conferences that he believes the disjointed nature of the side's attack is due to continual changes. Thus there is absolutely no way he's going to bring in more debutantes unless he absolutely must.

I would have left Yeo in the backline myself but clearly Ivan saw that as a stopgap. Wallace and Soward together have an excellent winning ratio, and I suspect Ivan was satisfied with Wallace's performance last game. It is Soward, I feel, who looks a bit underdone at the present time.

I'm happy with Bryce in the back row with a roving commission.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

i think cartwright is more effective as a backrow player than 80 min half. if in the halves he will over complicate things too much, whilst in backrow he can be there to put in occasional grubbers and occasional miracle plays and passes. it suits him being a ball playing runner.

 

[umina panther]

Yeo isn't a centre our year is done so we may as well play Blake (as terrible as hes been so far)

 

[umina panther]

Both Peach and Bryce are also much much better halves than Wallace and both have vastly outplayed him when given the chance.

 

[maple_69]

Yeah with Moylan likely out for the season now our season is all but done. Might as well play Cartwright and Blake in their preferred positions to get them ready to be integral parts of next years team.

On bci wonder if we are topping out our second tier cap. I can't imagine how we wouldn't be. Unless most of the guys we have brought in were in the top squad. It may be why we aren't seeing any more debuts.

Soward has definitely been off since coming back from injury. With the Pauli Pauli hit and the Jackson tackle he hasn't had the best recovery..

 

[billypilgrimnz]

If it is truly season over, I would be leaving out Plum, Simmons, and maybe even Brown....assuming we have some uninjured replacements (BMM, one of the Jenningses, Anderson etc.).

 

[umina panther]

I'd play Limmo and sign him for another 5 years

 

[chrisD]

It's a decently better team than last week and the Tigers have rarely been any good, there's a good chance.

 

[franklin2323]

Blake isn't a winger. I would much rather him at centre if there at all.

Latu should be on the bench over McKendry and Peachey in for Wallace but like I have said all along Ivan doesn't drop players

 

[ACTPanthers]

Preferred position or not, if Blake bombs a try in this game... Well, I won't do anything but god I'll be livid

Ivan must hate it when we get players back from injury and no one else is injured to fit them in. He got lucky this week with Mansour replacing Segeyaro.

Imagine if Plum, Kite, Latimore,Mckendry and RCG were fit at once... he would have to drop RCG to keep his favorites in the team. Actually I could see Cartwright being dumped to fit them all in. We only seem to drop our best players due to form.

 

[Sime_11]

here's hoping that Josh makes 200+ metres this weekend.

no pressure Josh

Even if we cannot make the finals (which is not the case) we still like to win games, don't we?

There is no way he could drop RCG. He has been our best forward all year.

Picking the same team every week is working so well
