Round 17 vs Tigers

[TheFrog]

Smart move rest up Bryce

Could mean Sowie is still doubtful.

Smart move rest up Bryce

he has been resting up for a few weeks now he needs game time

 

[Panther Pete]

he has been resting up for a few weeks now he needs game time

I think he was being sarcastic.

 

[umina panther]

Plum might be out so maybe we might have to risk Bryce....hope the poor bugger is fresh enough

 

[maple_69]

More importantly than going top, a win puts us two wins clear of 5th. We are playing lesser teams, but we are beating them and that's more thaneveryone but Manly can say.
I wouldn't sub Bryce for Plum. Our props are cats, Plum is one of the only ones who has a dig. Put Grant in or even BMM a shot at his old club. Bryce should be in for Docker.

Meanwhile NSW Cup is f*cking steamrolling the Tigpies. Ten in a row. We should get 2 teams in the NRL. But surely none of these blokes are up to it...

Whats the score in the nsw cup?

 

[franklin2323]

Yeah I am at the game. We have no ball in their 20. Great defence has kept them out despite getting our line peppered

[Buzzard Breath]

Penrith up 34 - 6 in NSW cup in second half.
Tim Grant on report.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Plum - out
Cartwright - in

 

[umina panther]

Hopefully Bryce gets 40mins at least

Cartright in is good, but our front row rotation has just taken a pretty big hit. Latimore, Kite and McKendry. Manu probably slots in for a bit... leaving us with a pretty light backrow.

Hopefully we try playing a more up tempo game and take advantage of having a faster more attacking oriented backrow in Cartright, Peachey and to a lesser extent Brown. Docker wouldn't fit into that style of play very well, but if we limit his minutes we can hopefully get a big enough lead that when he's on we can just defend our lead.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Moses cinfirmed as starting FB. Austin to the Bench.

 

[franklin2323]

NYC getting pumped 24-0. Barrett has really f**ked this team up

 

[mxlegend99]

Barrett is a poor coach, but the roster is pretty weak compared to last year aswell.

Pretty much an entirely new team, with just about every player from last years squad playing up a level or two either with us or another club, injured or both.

I think we should expect more from them. But basically our best players have rightfully been promoted to play against better opposition, and as a result our NSW Cup and First Grade sides are much stronger.

 

[GongPanther]

Plum out-Cartwright on the bench.
Ivan Cleary has decided to move Lewis Brown into the starting front row for today's match against Wests Tigers, which means Sika Manu will drop to the bench.

Nigel Plum is being rested, so Bryce Cartwright will round out the bench.

Oh happy days, the Brown-Taylor-Docker back row is reunited!

 

[Doomednow]

So Cartwright is playing. Let's see if he can single-handedly win the game for us.

 

[mxlegend99]

So the front row rotation is Kite, McKendry, Latimore and Manu. Might be able to cope with that against a depleted Tigers side.

Second row still looks too light to me though. Brown and Docker rotating with Cartright and Peachey... they're all tough for their size, but I still think guys with actual size and weight to throw around is more effective for tiring a team out. But it's still nowhere near as bad as some of the second rows we have fielded in recent years. I'd take Docker and Brown over Ciraldo and Newton any day of the week.

 

[Puntastic]

Lost a half for the second week in a row, right when we were finding our groove.
