Round 7 v Knights

[Iamback]

Lindsay Smith playing NSW Cup. This club doesn't know how to blend players in 1st grade

Nope that is my biggest criticism, Fish's injury is perfect to to look towards next year

Exactly and NSW cup seems to be used to mix up positions. L Smith next man up, not a 30 yr old who is prob on his last contract. Nothing wrong with Matt, but let's look towards tomorrow

Score update?

If it was a final. Most certainly go Eisenhuth but we are looking for 20-25 mins. Surely a rookie can't stuff up too much and gives a chance to see if he is an option next year

This game would have been good for Lindsay, hope they keep Hosking on the right at least

Yeah, what would the Penrith Panthers know about developing players and winning comps..

Cole looking good at five eighth, dangerous running abs he really digs into the line before ball playing. Shame for falls but off these early signs cole is much better.

Lisati has impressed me the last two weeks, his effort and work rate is really good and we know he’s got great athleticism.

Score update, please?

16-4 to us. Almost half time.

In again, big Eddie powers through three defenders next to the post. Will be 22-4 at the half

Scratch that we took the kick off and went 100 to score again amituani breaks about 15 tackles to crawl to the line and slam it down

 

[betcats]

Amituani is a funny one, since last year he absolutely brains it every chance he gets in cup then goes back to flegg and doesn’t really stand out.

Not sure how the knights are going in cup but our boys are looking a 1000 times better than last week. Mclean impressing in the centres and cole has made a huge difference in the halves. Iongi besides one mistake which gifted the knights their only try has been very impressive as usual.

You want the club to play younger players to get them ready for next year in only round 7 of this year? When we have games to win right now, and another premiership to aim for this year?

The Panthers don’t do that, even Bellamy, Robinson etc don’t do that. They pick the best players to win the next first grade game in front of them. Not players that they may need to win games in a years time.

Our players next in line get their opportunities to play first grade through injury cover and during state of origin etc, like May, Turuva etc. Or until they become better that those they are replacing, like To’o, Luai etc.

Im not sure Huth Is better than Lindsay anymore. Against the raiders they picked Smith ahead of Huth for the bench spot, I think with fish out they are going with huth cause his big body soaks up a lot of the early defence.

Salmon's spot is the only 1 I'd like rotated

 

[Exsilium]

Whilst it would be great to keep the younger guys in FG each week, we have to manage their workload until they're able to handle it week after week.

Bit of patience is all.

At lock Huth should be next up. Prop or bench I'd look at others first

 

[Exsilium]

Huth isn't that bad to have in the side. He's no superstar but he does a lot of work in and around the ruck.
