Round 24 v Manly

[Girds89]

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

Running two specialist hookers is an ivan thing tho..

And we are extremely lucky that we have an extremely fit team.

All our edge guys play 80. Yep plays 80.

Kenny can play 80... leota and fish are both capable of 60+

Lindsay is capable of huge mins.

Salmon can go 80.

So we can cover with a utility and a back up hooker on the bench... i mean weve done in and won the comp...

Whether its whats best for the team i domt know but ivan obviously prefers it.

If Kenny is playing 80
Yeo 80
Say Leota/Fish 50 mins.
That gives 60 mins to share between Smith and Spencer.

Where is the middle mins for that 2nd hooker?

Which is why a utility is better as a 14.

Not that we can't cover it, It is just hard to get them on

They dont all have to play those maxed minutes, if the game is going well, they can have a longer spell

 

[Roosters rule]

Any word on Edwards?

Playing.

I would be resting To'o though. Has an injury you don't want getting worse. Right now it is minor.

Most of the time you won't come finals time you will.
Hosking playing centre maybe gives some flexibilty. If a middle could play edge then it might work.

Well that's hammy or groin I'm guessing. Sit him till the last round if so

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Hot sensing tip - Dylan is not playing, either is Martin.

Toó playing...

 

[Hooked]

All got through the captain's run yesterday. Unless any problems in the warm up. I think they all play.

I saw that, I was looking for him. Noone who has a minor injury should play.

 

[murraymob]

Not sure if it’s been mentioned before but panther supporters at the ground may hear a familiar voice over the loud speaker ground announcer is Scott McRae who spent many years as our ground announcer

That’s a nice view.

Edwards is in the background of that video, he’s standing next to Martin and kind of hidden. I was looking for him too lol.

 

[PennyPanthers81]

Not Martin sorry Mitch Kenny on the very end of the line.

Thank you for that Martin identified by still photos I posted.

Honestly I'm dreadful at being a stalker......LOL

Dylan doesn’t look like the beach going type.

Ill say again... theres been countless opportunities this year.... when a game has been dead and burried... the other team has had one foot on the bus ready to go home... weve had the interchanges available and ivan still hasnt put him on..

Whether you think he is the best 14 option is a totally different point... at the momemt we run with a 9 and utility... personally id be happy for peach, spencer, smith, salmon and or hosking...

But ivan seems to like a genuine 9 on the bench so i think its highly important to give soni mins when there is clear opportunity to.

His growing up years were in Dorrigo. Says it all.
