Round 18 VS Dragons

[OldPanther]

Where is Luke's favourite hooker Katoa?

Not in first or reserves, not on the injuried list.

Signing for the Sharks effective immediately.

I don’t think you’d push Whare, his wage is at a level you could cope with in NSW Cup if need be. In saying that, also think he’s playing a lot better then people give him credit for. Deserves his spot atm.

It’s not enough for our backs to just be playing ok, we lack punch, we lack try scorers. I’d be happy to keep Whare in reserves, but we can’t carry guys who offer no threat.

I look forward to Whare's classic shimmy and step and scoring under the sticks tonight... where we all say at the same time - where the fk did that come from?

I agree. He'll mosey off to the old dart soon enough.

Every team needs guys like Whare, Good attitude and a seasoned international.

There's leaders ion the field and ones off it as well. Guys like Whare and Tamau certainly fall into the latter.

You can never have too many Sioni Katoa's

When did I ever say he was my favourite hooker? I said that the hookers weren’t the reason we were playing shit.

How are the Sharks going by the way? Hahaha devastating form of late.

 

[Mr Angry]

Doing shyte, not enough from our hooker.

How is Kenny's win ratio?

I guess it depends what your definition of OK is. I'm happy to have a more defensively orientated centre on the right because our right side rarely gets any decent ball in attacking situations anyway. We seem to be winning games on the strength of our defence & removing Whare takes away from that.

Crichtons played 3 or 4 games in NSW Cup? Looks very promising but he's not braining them to a point where he demands automatic selection in NRL. Very early days.

You mean undefeated Mitch Kenny? He goes alright. Good defence because he comes armed with the big guns:

I just think we’re too defensive orientated, needs better balance.

When the opposition defence only need to focus on one side of the field it makes it even easier for them, a threat in the right will help. Wether that’s Chricton or someone else, I don’t know.

All out tries last week were scored on the right incredibly.

Based on how the style of play has changed either Ivan or someone on staff has decided more ball playing is required and they seem to agree with you.

 

[Kilkenny]

Six wins on the trot we should be on cloud nine.

Tonight is a really big game and all the positives will be largely undone if we don’t put in a good performance and get the two points this evening.

Really big game tonight.

We need to see if it’ll result in more points. So far only marginally

 

[Rhyno]

Can’t see panthers winning 7 in a row

Time to load up on the dragons

Guess it takes time to get it right. Especially shifting from Ivan's usual defensive mindset.
