Round 21 V Sharks

[OldPanther]

As Mxlegend99 said, it appears Crichton is in for Whare.

Best news. Not even talking down Whare I just want to see Crichton in first grade.

 

[Panther Mick]

That's a bold call by Cleary's standards then, to pick a 3rd rookie to debut in the game with the season on the line.

If true yes.

Didn't 2014 succeed on similar logic? A bunch of unknowns.

From what I can recall about 2014 we had a lot of injuries that year. So selections were forced with a copious amount of injuries in the forwards.
Our pack v the semi against the Roosters was

McKendry
Seggy
Kite
Sika Manu
Matt Robinson
Plum
Res
Lewis Brown
Latimore
Murdoch-Masila
Sam Anderson

Imagine that pack going to week 3 of the finals. What an effort.

The Moyza and Sowie show. Best footy we have played since 2004

 

[Luke Bowden]

Wait, Whare is out too?? What’s with that?

Currently offering nothing to the side

 

[Panfas]

Official: Burton to Play

Currently offering nothing to the side

Still offers more than the pretender in the 7 jersey but it gets Crichton a taste of FG atleast

To a point yes, but injuries caused the selection of juniors `etc. I doubt any debuts would have happened without injuries forcing the hand...

That is the way it works with Ivan. That is why I am sceptical that Whare is dropped and not injured

 

[herbert henry1908]

If Whare is forced out, that’s another long term deal that won’t have been completed. I don’t think a single one has been finished.


Anyway, next years backline looks super young. I think you can forget about finals in 2020.

Edwards/Staines/Laurie
Mansour
Chricton
Naden
To’o
Luai/Burton
Cleary

Jimmy will finish his. What a champ

 

[Panther_Daz]

Jimmy's contract was meant to end at the end of 2020.

That sounds remarkably familiar as far as forced changes go.

Damn they were good.

Tamou

 

[OldPanther]

Delete.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Ah, I see you mean Tamou. Yeah he looks like he’ll be the first one to finish a 4/5 year deal.


Edit: Actually Mckendry will be the first

 

[roofromoz]

I have noticed that with both the Leniu and Burton announcements that they haven't been trumpeted as #589 and #590 respectively, like they have with the other debutants this year. May just be coincidental, a minor thing or it's that Crichton will play and the numbers will be confirmed then.
