Round 4 vs Wabbits

[Iamback]

Nothing to do with next week. It's about a win tonight.

Both can be achieved. Ivan even said in the presser. Our attack is good but defence is timing etc.

So playing someone who is only in the side if our 2nd best player is out doesn't fix that.

Talagi likely falls into the 14 or even centre if Jenkins is no good. So getting the win while he works on chemistry with the rest is better.

If he doesn't get on. He can play NSW Cup still, So he is no worse off

 

[Black Panther]

If Blaize is better than a reserve grader wouldn’t he be playing better than Brad at the cup level? Cause all reports suggest his first two cup games weren’t great

So you missed his game last week in First Grade?

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

I dont mean feeling the pressure as in hes gonna get sacked,he may be looking at the ladder position 12th and making these rash decisions.You can't keep chop changing blokes in the halves every week and expect to gel.All I'm saying is cole and talagi worked well last week why change that.

It's the 4th game tonight.....Try making the same comment at 10 weeks down if Penrith are placed 12th.

I don't know what he is doing with team selections but was surprised Schneider was left out of the 17 in the first place. It's just a straight swap for Cleary. Something must have changed over the weekend after Schneider played well in cup.

Maybe Laurie firmed to play changed the thinking.

Usually when we have an injury Ivan pulls players from the Cup beforehand. Schneider played.

Reading Lang's tweets sounds like Ivan wants another organising halfback in the 17 just in case.

It wouldn't shock me if Brad Scn starts at halfback. His kicking game is good. Cole failed to find touch twice last game. Also Cole is a pure 5/8th as is TT. Ivan said the same in the presser.

We will find out about 7pm.

 

[BossleyPanther]

We really need to win this, a loss will start to compound.

That assumes that Toelau also wouldn't of played well if given the chance

 

[Whino]

Smith benched. I pap into the starting side. I assume Sorro prop?

Schneider on the bench.

Have a good one in your first start Toelau.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

Yet again I am wrong....Please don't ever listen to me.....

 

[Chins]

I like Papali'i at prop

 

[mxlegend99]

I like Papali'i at prop

I doubt he plays prop.

Surely Sorensen moves to prop. He hasn’t been that effective on the edge for a good while now.

But who the f**k knows anymore. Dropping Blaize after a strong debut is really weird. Blaize was picked ahead of Toelau and Schneider last week. Plays well and gets axed?

 

[John Hamblin]

Aside from everything else we have a huge advantage with our bench, They have Sullivan who is a huge liability in defence and Havili who usually makes at least a couple of errors.

Not desperate but this is a game we need to win!

 

[Chins]

Tago is so f**king bad

 

[PennyPanthers81]

So is this what it’s like to be mid again?

 

[Munky]

Laurie is too mistake prone for Pantherball.

 

[PennyPanthers81]

This is f**ked

 

[Hamstring awareness]

f**k me Toelau is having a mare

 

[Chins]

Anyone ready to admit Tago is f**king awful yet?

Agree. A loss and I'd be questioning finals
