Panthers coach Cameron Ciraldo has named his side to face New Zealand Warriors at Mt Smart Stadium on Friday.

Tyrone Peachey will play five-eighth, with Dallin Watene-Zelezniak shifting to fullback, Christian Crichton returning on the wing and Tyrone May dropping back to the bench.

21-year-old rookie Wayde Egan has been given the starting hooker role at the expense of Sione Katoa.

The Panthers will wear the 2018 Away Jersey.

Crichton back in and Peachey at 6. Not a fan of either move.

They'll have to pull their weight. Especially Crighton getting another shot. Katoa's poor service being gone will help.

 

[Whino]

Maloney back next week so I guess Peach back to the bench.

 

[Whino]

Katoa was poor and deserved to be dropped.

 

[martielang]

Good side.

Assume Tamou on the bench must be purely tactical. I would of went Katoa over May on the bench but maybe they want another option to Peach at 6. CHN is very lucky IMO.

Interesting to see Keighran on the extended bench again.

 

[umina panther]

Not how I wanted it done but getting Peach out of fullback was the main thing

 

[Frankus]

Well as predicted - Katoa has been given the old DCM from 1st grade. Please drop CHN off the extended bench. He was absolute shiiiiiiiiittttttt on the weekend.

It is basically the starting 13 I would have picked.

I saw the game live. Sione had a very poor game. Service was slow too.

What would you have done. I thought DWZ had to start at f/back

 

[Panther Mick]

Won't happen but
DWZ F/B
Crichton/Phillips wing
Peach 5/8
Egan hooker
May Bench
Katoa Reserve grade.
Only problem is I don't think Egan is ready to start and play big minutes at hooker.

Ha ha it actually happened.

Yeah I was at the game and completely agree.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Mostly like the changes but I would’ve preferred Philips on the wing over Chricton. Seems like a safer option.

 

[OldPanther]

Ha ha it actually happened.

I've never seen you and Ciraldo in the same room

Yeah I'm not sure why they prefer Crighton.

life was so much easier when Dylan Edwards wasnt injured. we are really missing him because without him we either have 1. a somewhat specialised fullback (DWZ) with the worst winger (don't even have to spell his name) or 2. Not a fullback at all (Peachey) with a very good and specialised winger (DWZ). Edwards just being FB fixes this all

 

[franklin2323]

Crichton haha. Peachey at 6 haha.... Maybe we have clocked out early this year?

 

[Exsilium]

Ha ha it actually happened.

You’re a wizard
