Round 2 v Bulldogs

[maple_69]

Panthers Twitter posted a side with Whare as fullback, rest of the backline unchanged. See how we roll through the night but we are seeing some pretty worrying signs from Griffin already.

Because he's named there doesn't necessarily mean he's playing there.

Carty to the bench is a good move IMO given the traffic that would be running at him for the opening 20. Another big body should help. Looking forward to seeing akaoula.

Wonder if we will see this for most of the game:

5. DWZ
2. Mansour
3. Blake
19.Whare
4. Hiku
9. Peachey
6. Soward
8. McKendry
7. Wallace
10. RCG

Yeah doubt that Whare will be at fullback. It's just swapping his name with the player dropped for him. He was an epic fail last time he played there.

How do they contradict each other? If he's only a possibility on game day at playing he probably isn't 100%. Just waiting one more game gives him an extra 10 days. If hes 90% tonight. He might be 100% next week and less likely to reinjure himself. His limited preseason means he's likely going to be rusty so theres less reward in risking injury to him again.

It's not doing him any favours to play if he's less than 100% either.

Because you didn't mention being at any %, and I would assume he was given the all clear. Hence why I thought there was a slight contradiction. I wasn't aware he only started running on Monday, and in that case, I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Griffin hadn't seen him play there though... Guess we'll see how they lineup soon Cmon Panthers!!! Loving the gus intro as well

NRL 360 just reported Whare to play fullback tonight....yes fullback!

f**king stupid if true

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Griffin hadn't seen him play there though

....which makes it even stupider.

 

[Doomednow]

I think it's more likely Griffin will have Whare at fullback than not considering his track record.

 

[Copperhead]

Wallace hooker.

 

[betcats]

Sowie great start at 7.

 

[mxlegend99]

RCG! Thats how you tackle.

 

[betcats]

Dallin is playing FB, great hit from rcg to force that error.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

I like this Campbell Gillard. Why haven't we heard of him? Or is he playing above his usual?

He is a great prospect, that is the best hit I've seen from him but he has been rated here since he debuted. Averaged over 100m his rookie season so he makes yards

Mckendry!!!

 

[mxlegend99]

Sam. Bout time.

I should watch Panthers more.

Panther pressing forward nicely. Can't believe the backs are setting a meter eating platform. Blake, Mansour..

Sam. Bout time.

He has started well besides the penalty.

 

[mxlegend99]

This looks good so far. Wallace without playmaking is better. Soward with the 7 is great.
