Round 20 v The Northern Beaches Scum

[betcats]

Some very interesting changes.

Don't think Peachey will actually play fullback. But May on the bench I like. I also like the backrow better and curious to see Yeo in the middle.

Yeo has spent a fair bit of time in the middle this year. He starts on the edge then shifts to lock. He goes really well from what I’ve seen it might be his best position.

 

[Panther_Daz]

I really like Yeo at lock. I think that's his best position. Merrin needs a wake up call too.

 

[betcats]

If Peachey plays fb rather then centre this week that will do me.

Why? We get his running game without weakening the edge in defence.

 

[franklin2323]

Peachey at fullback would be interesting and better than Whare. But I doubt we actually lineup this way.

I always get annoyed when we offload always find slow guys. Peachey at fullback fixes that. Maybe all 3 will share

We strengthen winger too.

 

[Kilkenny]

I really like Yeo at lock. I think that's his best position. Merrin needs a wake up call too.

Merrin’s interview after the Bronco’s game on ABC radio after his 32 minutes game time was interesting and maybe a little unconvincing given all the on going rumours of unrest. Maybe just me and I was reading too much into it.

 

[TheFrog]

Caution to the wind. f**k it I love it. The conservative approach was annoying the last two years and we get two good wingers.

If Peach pulls this off, it means he can play every position on the field, except wing and front row. And I reckon he'd give wing a shot as well. This will probably assist his chances of making rep sides, but won't help his chances of making starting 13s at club level.

Suspect Dallin will switch places with him a fair bit.

How did playing an out of position fb go last week? He got carved the f**k up in 40 minutes.

Have you ever seen Peachey catch a bomb? Direct a defensive line? He’s never even played on the wing. He’d have no idea where to position himself, DCE(one of the best kicking games) will eat him alive.

There is a reason fb make more than wingers, because it is a far more important and difficult position.

DWZ is our FB if fit. Picking Peachey there is absolutely a desperate move. Seriously DCE and Barrett will be kicking there lips.

 

[unKwn]

oh great, another milestone that we will probably fail to deliver on. Dean Whare 100th game, and against his former club too

I understand that but then we have to play Crighton. We are in a bit of a no win here.

Or Whare. It is our strongest back 5 we have fit. Just got to find out how to make it work

Or Phillips. Or play Whare on the wing. Picking peach at fb over Dallin is f**king insane imo.

 

[Kilkenny]

If Peachy was to play fullback how many different spine combinations are we up to for this season?

 

[betcats]

In theory Luai at fb was a good idea. Doesn’t have tackle, his dangerous running game should be good through the middle. But in reality it was f**king terrible.

Even for a fb defense is half of the game. Forget what peach might do with the ball because any mistakes he makes while defending at fb will cost us points.

 

[umina panther]

Wouldn't Whare at fullback, Peach at centre be the obvious swap if there is one?

In saying that, i want to see Peach run at fullback. It's going to be entertaining either way.

I like the Merrin back to bench & Yeo starting in the middle.

Whare is the worst fullback at the club. He should NEVER play there

 

[OldPanther]

Mostly I want Whare at centre over Peachey for defence.

Luau has played fullback and can do the job. We got destroyed accross the paddock.

Another time another game when we are on top, dominating, Luai would be an asset and carving up at fullback similar to Ben Barba.

Yeah I understand that. Just the thought of DCE kicking at Peachey for 80 minutes is scary. DWZ is easily the best fb we have available(if he’s fit).

Besides worrying about their positioning in defense fullbacks also need to constantly be talking to the defensive line and telling them where they are short. I really can’t see the peach being good at that.

He said before the game “I have played fb twice”

Either way he got caught out of position.
