Round 21 V Sharks

[Crashtest]

Luai and Egan are .5s as they can fill in but it's not optimal.

Halves:

Cleary
Luai
Burton(if he makes it)
Egan can play half if you are desperate.

Hooker:

Egan
Kenny
Luai can fill in again if desperate.

Ok, thanks. I missed the meaning in your earlier post, thought you might have mean't someone like Blore and him not being quite ready for first grade.

If Ivan is trying to keep it under wraps, why isn’t it under wraps? Makes no sense

 

[Blade23]

Interesting re Whare.

He has been told the old line of he will have to fight for his spot next year and is no guarantee to play FG every week.
If a better deal elsewhere came up ....

 

[Blade23]

Katoa has been training in the halves as a bit of insurance for Burton.

Penrith leaks like a sieve. Has for a while now.

Exactly. So why would he try and hide it.

I think he hasn’t decided yet. If he does, it will be announced.

I don’t reckon it will be this week. Such a big game and all.

it still keeps the media away from him, and keeps the opposition in two minds.

Cronulla would’ve been planning a field day with Xerri on Whare, now he’ll have someone quicker to deal with.

Whare has never been quick though. His positional play is what sets him apart from others defensively. He wouldn't have any issues with Xerri IMO.

Would explain the sudden form drop I guess.

 

[Panther Mick]

That makes more sense.

Fair call, but I’ve certainly noticed he’s slowed down.

Injury... Of course

Never ceases to amaze me those people that think Ivan will suddenly tactically drop players

Mansour & RCG got dropped earlier in the year.

 

[Crashtest]

Mansour & RCG got dropped earlier in the year.

And Edwards and DWZ

Now watch Xerri score a hat trick against him lol

 

[Luke Bowden]

Mansour & RCG got dropped earlier in the year.

As did Edwards

Because he has. I think that Ivan is a plodder and the club has f**ked up big time but you're not being objective imo

 

[Kev07]

Chrichton is a certainty to debut tomorrow also

Lets look at the potential team tomorrow.

To'o- MWZ injured. Phillips getting sacked opened a spot for him.
Naden- exemption needed originally.
Burton- exemption needed to play.
Kenny - Same as Naden
Martin - took Kikau pulling out day of the game to get a starting spot.
Crichton (assuming he comes in) is development squad.

So the good selections of late all came due to Ivan's hand being forced not x player getting the punt
