Round 24 v Manly

Everyone* on planet - Api

*Except one person

Let’s not for a second that this forum counts as anything close to Everyone on the planet.

Very good judges have very high opinions of him. Have a chat with Kevin Kingston for Instance.

 

[WestyLife]

The flip side though.

Api can do more there due to lack of talent, whereas here we only need early ball to our halves.

So it is something that is no chance of being measureable

Sure I was just trying to correct the misunderstanding

All well and good having the highest opinion of soni in the world but api is a proven gf winner, big game player, soo player...

I hope soni kills it tonight i really do.

Id be pretty disappointed if he gets anything less than 50mins..

Hes been on the bench all year.. training with the top squad... ivan needs to show a bit of trust with kenny out...

As i kept saying the other day... if kenny goes down in a final there is a real possibility he needs to be able to play a whole game...

We arent going to know if hes caoable of that if he protects him on the bench..

Ivan needs to show a little faith.

Api played so within himself here. Just brilliant, can play so many different ways.

To still be putting in huge numbers at the shit show that is the Tigers. Shows an elite player

We are likely the only Sydney team in the top 6. Finishing Top 2 and getting a home final is the next thing to knock off.

Ivan can't just select guys on faith, He should still get big minutes

 

[snickers007]

This place is gonna be a dumpster fire regardless of how our hookers play.
And I'm here for it.

 

[age.s]

I think "Soni should get more minutes" is one point on which both pro and con positions agree.

Can I factor cost in as well?

 

[Iamback]

It’s easily measurable.

who do want in our team. Api or Soni.

Thats as simple as it gets.

Who doesn't want an elite spine player in the side though?

I’d rather Harry Grant

 

[BossleyPanther]

Any word on Edwards?

 

[John Hamblin]

I can see us playing through the middle all night and kicking the front door open!!!!!!!!!! Go Panthers!

100% which is what ive been saying in other threads over and over...

Needs to be backed

We need to win games 1st. When the game is under control he should come on.

more than 6 mins of course but you can't burn a change getting him back off too. So can't give him heaps long either

Yep its what ive been saying.

Plenty of games we have had in the bag thatvhe couldve got 25 to 30mins stints

 

[Girds89]

If edwards is out its going to be soo exciting to see turuva get a go there. He will kill it

Not always possible though. Remember he can only play hooker. That interchange might be used elsewhere. Leaving only the 8th and spare one

Of course not always possible..

Plenty of times it has been and hasn't happened tho which is the disappointing part

Yes but you need to look at the game situation, did anyone go off unexpected, did we have to defend at the time he was due on

That is why sides rarely run 2 specialist hookers

Of course its game dependent haha.

Theres been plenty of games tho were we have been so on top and dominating that you couldve brought him on and kenny to lock and given key guys early marks...

The rest for key guys will be a blessing come the business end.
