Anyone else think Patea should be getting the minutes Huth will get? If it’s only 20-25 surely more beneficial to start blooding Patea slowly, unless he is playing Cup for extra game time.

I'm all for decisions that improve the defensive output of this team.

It's the cornerstone of our success in the 2020s and its been horrible this year. We need to get it together from this week.

Doesn't the 2 dumb penalties/errors Huth will give cancel out the slight defence improvement?

He shouldn't have played even last year but this year it's clear he's not up to it

He is prime example of why we have no depth. Got kids behind him but no one that could play say 4 weeks if we got a semi major injury

I'm not dropping Yeo or Kenny on dumb forward passes either.

Huth isn't in the top 17. But we don't need power or strike. Literally just 1% stuff. If he tackles and cuts out ill discipline and we get a win then job done.

No but they aren't coming on for 15 mins to either regain or keep tempo

When you make 10 tackles and have a hand full of runs. You can't afford to makes errors

Patea last year had less errors and was 10m per run. That is all you need

Nothing against Patea I like him. But I'd be willing to bet Eisenhuth makes the side on XP and being a better defender.

That's all its about. Our defence is shocking right now. If he has the dropsies every week then you won't see him in firsts shortly.

Eisenhuth offers nothing,hes a plodder who the cowboys will target 1 one 1 with a fast guy running at him.Id take patea or riki over him any day.The game has got a lot faster,you need mobile forwards these days and guys who dont give away 6 agains.

Nailed it. Even go funky and play Sommerton and give Kenny those middle minutes.

There options that offer more

Bumper crowd?

I won't make it. But I've spotted two panthers jerseys in the past hour heading to the train station.

If Huth plays tonight, i hope he has a blinder.
