Round 24 V The Warriors

[herbert henry1908]

Blake would be a terrible fullback and I'm glad no one here suggesting it are anywhere near our coaching staff.

It’s a pity he doesn’t have better ball handling skills because he could be so dangerous from the back, but yeah, I’d never put him there with his hands.

 

[OldPanther]

Is Adam Keighran in our top 30?

 

[Panfa]

Is Adam Keighran in our top 30?

Dont think he is but he should be the way he is playing been killing it in isp big strong 5/8 with ball skills and a good goal kicker as well

Apparently he has a really big boot on him too.

He only signed a 1 year deal with us though, could be hard to keep him I think.

 

[franklin2323]

No Keighran is Top 30 for next year.

Phillips
Crichton
Waddell

were to only ones available that played NSW Cup on Sat.

Pity because wouldn't mind putting Aikens at FB again.

I can’t find anything about him re-signing.

 

[MrBlack]

Time for mass changes.

1. Egan starts on place of Katoa who goes to NSW Cup
2. CHN to NSW cup, not sure who the next one up is, but has to be better that CHN.
3. Kikau has to start form the bench. He looks too tired out there. He is not an 80 minute player.
4. Tamau to start, RCG to bench (for impact)
5. DWZ to fullback bring in Phillips/Chriton
6. Peach to #6
7. May to the bench (cover for hooker, half, lock)

Crazy times lead to crazy thoughts.
I watched him play heaps of fullback in the lower grades and he was great.

 

[kinghippo]

We can't be f**king around with fullback 2 weeks from the finals. It's DWZ or nothing

Yeah I know it, It’s the stupid idea I just can’t seem to shake

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Fish should be right to return.

"He just needed to give his shoulder a week's rest and get himself right for this week. He'll add a lot of punch for our team once we get back out there," teammate Trent Merrin said on Monday.

[Buzzard Breath]

Also Blake Green in doubt for the Warriors.

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Also Blake Green in doubt for the Warriors.

The more out the better!

 

[OldPanther]

Also Blake Green in doubt for the Warriors.

We could Bradbury a top 4 finish haha.

I have been Tamou's biggest critic but he has been very good recently I have to say. He needs to start the game.

He made more metres than any of our forwards on Saturday in just 36 minutes. Perhaps he is playing for a contract elsewhere.

RCG needs to start living up to the hype. He very rarely runs for over 140m per game. He has a couple of big hits and Martin Lang type runs each game and then goes missing.

Some comparisons to other rep standard middle forwards, games with over 140m in 2018.

RCG - 3

Klemmer - 17
Taumalolo - 16
Taupau - 15
Arrow - 12
Gallen - 11
Lodge - 10
Taukeiaho - 10
S.Burgess - 10
Trbojevic - 9
Brown - 9
Fifita - 8
Fonua-Blake - 8
Vaughan - 7

Sure RCG could take more runs but who's hitups is he going to take?

 

[Matthew Ellis]

I'd back Egan to play 80 tbh.

 

[Panther_Daz]

He needs to put his hand up and lead the way. 9 runs in 51 minutes against an average Newcastle pack isn't good enough for a NSW and Australian prop.

His runs can change the momentum of a game so we need to see more of them.

Wow no Panthers.

Yeah that's terrible.

 

[Matthew Ellis]

I have been Tamou's biggest critic but he has been very good recently I have to say. He needs to start the game.

I read when he first got the Panthers and he was playing terribly he wouldn't go out in the city out of embarrassment. Ciraldo's big thing is he's a people person. Maybe he's getting the best out of Tamou because an encouraging coach is the type of coach Tamou needs like Soward did.
