Round 22 v Cowboys

[franklin2323]

Time to put last week behind us. I would go with this:

Moylan.
Mansour.
Roberts.
Whare.
Simmons.
Coote (Even if we don't play him but to put desperation in John).
Walsh.
Grant.
Kingston.
Latimore.
Brown.
Newton.
Simpkins:

Sege.
Masoe.
Ciraldo.
VTK.

Any reason VTK over Cartwright? Also maybe give Austin a run at centre if Roberts is still out

Better at both ends then Cartwright. Cartwright goes MIA until we hit the 20 metre line then is great. So still needs some work VTK is a hard runner can break the line and runs good lines.

Cartwright is a ball playing forward Cartwright will be better playing when we have Plum, Docker etc that are good but lack an offload. ATM we need the extra work and power game then a fancy offloader. Though both will offer something.

After speaking to a member of the coaching staff this morning, its likely Nathan smith will be called up, and they're still considering bryce Cartwright. Their worry with bryce is that he has lost a bit of form lately as he's been up for a while playing against men, so the worry is that it might kill his confidence.

So no VTK? The problem with Smith is he will make tackles but has nothing in attack as is the case with Kingston and Simpkins in the backrow. I agree about Cartwright it's why I didn't put him in the original side

All i know is we've lost all our mongrel in defense and can't bend the line anymore.
Yes, most of our dominant players are out injured but we're really struggling to score points as well.

If we don't roll the dice and put in some guys that could potentially break the line, get a good offload away (not that rubbish we were serving against the roosters) and keep the defense guessing, then whats the point? Just keep rolling with the punches? That equals boring footy.

I agree defense is key, but all our defensive players are out....so throw in some "unknowns". Can it really be any worse than what we've dished out in the last few weeks?

I'd like to see;

1. Moylan
2. Mansour
3. Roberts/ Brown
4. Whare
5. Simmons
6. Coote
7. John
8. Grant
9. Segz
10. Latimore
11. Brown
12. Newton
13. Kingston

14. Mosae
15. Ciraldo (can't believe I'm even typing his name)
16. VTK
17. Cartright

Panthers may need to seek a salary cap exemption to play Moylan if Coote is back though. An article in the SMH a few weeks back suggested that the Panthers were able to switch Coote for Wes when considering Moylan's availability but if Coote is chosen then they may not be able to play Moylan......

can't post the link to the article until i get to 20 posts though.

Coote wouldnt be close to match fit, so he couldnt be forced to play. Need atleast a month back for reserves first. We had Wes play for Windsor a few weeks before losing the exemption.

Better then John match fit or not.

Thinking purely from a promotional perspective you would play Cartwright ahead of Smith. Struggling Penrith team against a team from Nth Qld on a Sunday night is a nightmare.

Penrith locals love a local junior debut in first grade, especially one with the famous last name Bryce possesses. Might drag a few more through the gates.

NRL is reporting that Coote and Mckendry will play.

Don't forget Plum! :sarcasm:

 

[murraymob]

not many people picking Austin .He has got to give us more in attack than half the forward pack

 

[PinkPanther]

I would love to see Austin back.

It has been stated that, it was very very hard to get the exemption for Moylan and they said that it will be very unlikely to get another one this season ...

Still think he's our best lock. Though not even a full game for Windsor is the issue. Coming back from an ankle means unlike Coote & McKendry he wont have much running under him.
