Round 22 v Plucked chooks

[Blade23]

Will TMM return and finally shift Carty to the pack?
Whats your team vs the Plucked Chooks?

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Here is the early mail from Tele.

Panthers: Prop Reagan Campbell-Gillard could be a late inclusion if he recovers from an elbow injury. Look for Te Maire Martin to return to first-grade after a successful comeback in the NSW Cup last week. He’ll push Bryce Cartwright back to second-row, James Fisher-Harris to the bench and Moses Leota out of the team.

Just on plucked chooks, which I hope happens Monday night.

no point playing Martin in NSW Cup. He ran the cobwebs out. Whether he's named or not is the question though

I'd tend to give TMM another week in reserves, bring him back against the Knights. Team same as last week except Hardaker for DWZ, who is completely out of sorts. We can then keep Leota on the bench.

Kikau's missing? FG chance of late inclusion?

No. He was heavily concussed last weekend and is being rested.

 

[Panther Pete]

Looks like TMM gets another week in reserves.

 

[umina panther]

Griffins team on Tuesday normally means very little

 

[billypilgrimnz]

I wonder what DWZ needs to do to get the Soward/Segeyaro drop to reserves treatment?

 

[chrisD]

Don't really trust that team will run out, rate it fifty fifty. As I rate putting TMM into the halves will be an improvement.

 

[mxlegend99]

TMM straight into first grade would be f**king crazy. He has been injured for several months. His match fitness is down and in the current side he would be under a lot more pressure as he wouldn't have Jamie Soward there to let him feel his way in the game.

Considering we threw Hardaker straight into first grade I am expecting TMM will be in before he is ready again also. He was struggling for fitness in his debut game (not that you would have known if he didnt mention it) despite having had a full pre-season, trials, a few NSW Cup games and not coming back from a serious injury. So IMO he would have an even harder time for fitness this time around.

I think 3 or 4 games minimum in NSW Cup to get some fitness and confidence back. If he's killing it bring him back in via the bench.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

No. He was heavily concussed last weekend and is being rested.

Oh yeah true forgot about that he got concussed twice or so didn't he?

 

[maple_69]

I'm happy for TMM to get in there. Give him a few weeks with Moylan and Cartwright continuing to feature prominently at second receiver and let him rove and start to chip in on set plays.

I think attitude wise the side is starting to get there (defence is improved) but we are running out of runway to get any semblance of cohesion into this side. Leave it another few weeks and we are starting on a fresh spine again with 3 weeks left.

 

[The Scotsman]

I will be keeping an eye on the NSW cup match on Saturday.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Will have to wait an extra week by the looks of it, and seeing it's against Newcastle I guess it wouldn't be too bad. http://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl...k/news-story/9cd584da352d723c77ea4b4a21319955

Thoughts if Hayne is allowed to play for Titans? Could mean it keeps use or NZ out of top 8 - IMO it stinks.
The guy is a major DOG - Blamed the club for his dreams and money chasing.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

IMO Titans make the 8 anyway without Hayne. I'm more excited than anything to see how they go, could give it a real tilt. Still between us and NZ for the final spot. I don't think what he's done is that bad. If Parra weren't in the right frame to provide him with what he needs then by all means go to the Titans.

Ive got no issue with it and don't see how he's a dog. Eels cheated the salary cap for years giving them an unfair advantage in signing/keeping players. Hayne being one of them.

Hayne is going to a club that thinks he is worth $1.2m per season. Eels offered $800k per season. He's clearly worth more than that and how many people on the planet would choose the lesser paying job?

Loyalty is great... but $400k per season is a huge difference. How many players would be willing to sacrifice that for loyalty?
