Same rabble. When will Reserve Grade players get a start. Kepaoa and Jesse need a go. Jenkins was horrendous again but still remains, no Patea. Garner in the Centres, would rather just play a Centre not a Backrower. And f**king still Schneider on the bench in stead of Cole.

What will it take for changes to be made? At this rate we will be 1-6 and the season nearly gone.

Season is gone already mate. We are 1-6 in what is honestly a relatively easy early draw.

If not for Origin I think we could go on a big run and recover to 4th-6th. However, Ivan is currently struggling to get this team together and firing even with relatively small disruptions in availability. What happens when we lose nearly all our best players?

To me this season will be a success if we can sneak into the 8. This is far from assured.

Regarding Tago, how much of the performance problems are him being placed at Right centre instead of Left?

I understand that a good modern centre should be able to play both, however some are clearly superior when playing on their favoured side.

When he was paired with Taylan May they were creating absolute Havok on the left hand wing whilst being defensively sound.

Nath gets picked. Do the rest?

You do realise Laurie Daley is the Coach right? Doesn’t like Penrith much no matter how good the Panthers players are going. He’s a spud of a Coach.
Yeo is the captain, To'o the best winger to ever play the game and Marto dominates every time. I know Loz sucks but he can't be that bad......can he?

At this stage of the game. It can't hurt. I wonder how many tries has Tago let in this year, by shooting out of the line, and not giving a straight defensive line.

Does this mean that Tago is being transitioned into the back row perhaps ?

He could come on @ centre with Garner shifting to the pack.

Either way getting dropped to the bench should send him a rocket.

I agree with everything you said, but Laurie is a dead shit Coach. Is Yeo the Captain though, wasn’t Jurbo? Or was that the year before.

Dropping tago is fine but much wouldve preferred it to be for an actual centre.

Putting garner there says to me that its purely a stop gap solution. Ivan does not have faith in the reserve grade back ups and that tago will be back there in a week or two..

Imo he either had to ride it out with tago or play a proper centre there. Putting a 2md rower there is a typical ivan move.
