Round 4 vs. Tigers

[bigfoot]

Thought I may as well start this seeing as how the teams are picked tomorrow.
I am normally negative however well done Penrith on a good win (even if it wasn't pretty and we weren't amazing).

What I would pick:
1. Coote (Good job)
2. Gordon (GREAT player)
3. Jennings (A given)
4. Cooper (Back this week?)
5. Elford (Does his job)
6. Sammut (He is our best option here. Yes he had a bad game, however the week before he was good. Let him take a bit of a back seat to Graham).
7. Graham (Our halfback!)
8. Grant (Puletua to come on to give us some experience when Petero goes off).
9. Aiton (Rotating with Iosefa)
10. Civoniceva (Legend)
11. Smith (Workhorse)
12. Waterhouse (Finding some form)
13. Lewis (Best spot for him. NO KICKING)
Bench
14. Iosefa (Rotating with Aiton)
15. Pritchard (IMPACT)
16. Bell (Getting better)
17. Puletua (Does his job).

What Iddiott will pick:
1. Coote
2. Gordon
3. Jennings
4. Tighe
5. Elford
6. Lewis
7. Graham
8. Puletua
9. Aiton
10. Civoniceva
11. Waterhouse
12. Bell
13. Smith
Bench
14. Iosefa
15. Pritchard
16. Grant
17. Woolnough/someone else
18. Cooper
19. Sammut (just to screw with his head).


By the way, how GOOD is Gordon?
Hasn't missed a conversion the whole year!

EDIT: Added Cooper.

[bigfoot]

Is Cooper due back this week? Forgot about him when writing the above team.

 

[murraymob]

big foot i forgot cooper as well.Yes he is back as he was suspended not injured .He get a bench spot

 

[Fibroman]

I hope Pritchard gets more game time next week. He is the key to our success.

Jennings will find it tough next week again marking up against lawrence.

 

[bigfoot]

Maybe we should have Cooper on that side marking Lawrence with Elford outside him? They seem to be decent defenders.

 

[mxlegend99]

Brad Tighe is gooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Good finisher? He bombed a try that i could have finished.

 

[choc_soldier]

Wasn't Watmough breathing down his neck? I don't think he was a certainty to score that try...

 

[Panther_Daz]

The past 2 and abit seasons are going exactly like 2001,2002, and 03. So unfortunately we will lost at home on a Saturday night in Round 4 just like 03.

 

[mxlegend99]

Wasn't Watmough breathing down his neck? I don't think he was a certainty to score that try...

All he had to do was catch the ball and fall over the line. He has bombed several simple tries like that this season.

 

[Sleep]

Team has been named. Sammut and Graham are the halves with Lewis at lock. :shock:

 

[Sleep]

Official team is:

1.Lachlan Coote 2.Michael Gordon 3.Michael Jennings 4.Brad Tighe 5.Shane Elford 6.Wade Graham 7.Jarrod Sammut 8.Matthew Bell 9.Paul Aiton 10.Petero Civoniceva 11.Trent Waterhouse 12.Nathan Smith 13.Luke Lewis
Interchange: 14.Masada Iosefa 15.Frank Pritchard 16.Frank Puletua 17.Gavin Cooper 18.Tim Grant 19.Adam Woolnough 20.Joseph Paulo 21. Maurice Blair

I wouldn't mind seeing Blair come in with Tighe going to the wing and Elford out.

 

[Mr Angry]

alright, almost there.

Get frank and masada starting and you are there.

 

[The Teach]

While I agree with you about Frank angry, where do we put him cos that pack is performing well. I know I'm gonna get flamed for saying it, but Smith is playing good footy, Bell is playing his best footy ever as is House, and Lewie needs to be at lock.
I disagree with Masa being in the starting line up, cos Aits gives us structure to start the game, then bring Masa on after 30 mins gives us a dangerous option against tiring defence from dummy half. That, in my opinion, is the best side we could select.

 

[hindy111]

once grant puts on some wight on his chicken legs he gunna be good player-He to thin thou at moment for first grade

 

[Sleep]

Pritchard will be in the starting team once he's match fit no doubt. Aiton has surprised me this year and in my opinion been the better of our two hookers. Last year it was a different story but times have changed.

 

[mxlegend99]

Not sure why people are so surprised by Paul Aiton. He was great for us before Matt Elliott got here. He was also great for PNG in the world cup.

I think he and Masada are still nowhere near their potential at the moment though. The second Matt Elliott stops holding them back they should carve up.

 

[herbert henry1908]

well f**k me , matt elliott for once makes some sensible selections.

Great to see lewis to lock and hopefully sammutt plays second receiver. Graham looks to be a much better organiser.

Teach i agree with you on smith.He has been one of our better players this year and deserves to be in the team.Lewis at lock is a good choice.The team is a good one .Now the players need to stand up

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

Good Panthers, should be a good game.
You have a strong line-up named and best of luck to you.
