Round 3 v Mel

[age.s]

Assuming he is fit.

I have watched both of Talagi's games with us not a single kick. I looked at highlights with Parra not many kicks either.

We have 1 and 9 that can't kick, The 6 needs to have some type of kick for us

If hes not fit were looking at our third string in the position. We'd be weak at that level anywhere.

Agreed on the kicking, but Cole's boot is hardly a strength either. Having Luai back Nath up in that area really has been a luxury.

Nathan kicked for 600m in Vegas. We didn't get to our kicks last week but still scored off 2.

he will do 90% of the kicks. Most weeks, we only need for if he is playing the ball on the 5th

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Whoever plays fullback is allowed two grace errors. This is due to the fact that there is no fullback in the named squad and they deserve some slack trying to cover such a tough position.

If they make a third error then the crucifixion can start.

A drinking game; everyone takes a shot whenever a post comes in saying ‘That’s on Ivan’ or some derivative.

Yes factually correct statements will be made.

 

[Hooked]

I doubt there's any club that doesn't have a dicey 3rd string option in one position or another.

All the best to Milky. Hope he kills it.

True.
We have been blessed the last few years having Crichton and a less extent Turuva in the backline as other fullback options.

Not sure how for example not using our 14 can be anything else than on Ivan.

Tago missing a tackle for example is not on Ivan

 

[Sime_11]

I'd just love to see him running in the middle on kick returns haha

Would be very helpful if bizza makes 300+ metres tonight

I've got 12 coronas that'll work.

I want to add 'ffs tago' to the list.

Then you need a lot more beers

I'm starting to wonder if tago missing tackles is some 4d chess from Ivan.

It is if he's misses the tackle on the same shape thrown at him for 2 years.....

He was good in the finals series though. So the system does work and he can do it... the rest is him

 

[Kilkenny]

It’s absolutely bucketing down here in Melbourne.

 

[John Hamblin]

I hope that we stick with Casey as we all know he has HUGE upside. WE have a number of good outside backs perhaps Tago ends up in the second row.

Shocking news

 

[kinghippo]

I just talked myself into Jenkins being a great choice! I even looked him up as an anytime try scorer, $3.50 was not very generous

 

[WestyLife]

Ivan is playing 4d chess I knew it.

Shocking news

Way to support the Panthers mate. At least he is a First Grader, Schneider not so sure. Much better team without him in it, even though I would still cheer for him if he was playing.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

Can Blaize start at fullback or does he have to start from the bench.
