Round 7 vs Wests Tigers @Bathurst

[Crashtest]

Penrith could be top of table Sunday night if they beat Wests by say 20. Easts can beat Storm Cowboys beat Sharks by 5 or less Eels beat Dolphins and Broncs beat Raiders. Happy Days

lol. And I thought I was the optimistic one

I think changes will be made but Ivan has named a terrible bench again

Who would be your bench Chins?

Laurie just doesn't work unfortunately. Garner on the bench covers centre and Soro plays both middle and edge brilliantly. I'd be going with Sommerton I think. Kenny can defend in the middle and cover Yeo if he needs a spell.

So
Sommerton
Henry
Garner
*This spot becomes flexible due to Soro so we can either play a prop and a backrower

Photo evidence showing a bloke called Yam saved him.

Yam taking one for the boys.

Who cares what Chins thinks...

If Kenny plays 80 mins we can use another Hooker off the bench because he would become another middle. But if he is going to play 80 at Hooker we need a utility. 2 Props, a Backrower and a Utility seems ideal on the bench. Just need to figure out who the best 14 will be. Laurie, Cole, Peachey.

It's not Peachey and Laurie either hasn't been able to get on or when he finally did it was awful

You're ahead of Soni Luke I'll give you that much

 

[Black Panther]

Alamoti must be close to a game soon too. By all reports he has been going well in Cup Could cover Wing/Centre and even Backrow for a short stint if required.

 

[murraymob]

Must win game I think we will struggle over origin time this year as the depth is not there as in previous years

I'm interested in all the opinions on our forum.

Fair enough answer, I would also consider Schneider at 14 for halves cover and hooker or a brief spell. he has a decent passing game and good footy smarts.

Interesting to note that both teams are the most ill-disciplined sides in the competition at this point. 40 penalties conceded by Penrith and 38 by the Tigers.

I’m not sure our discipline is worse than any other side, but we are certainly being policed differently at present.

As just a stat its too volatile, too early in the season.

We got destroyed with penalties against the Roosters and Sea Eagles. We average 8 penalties conceded a game right now. I'd like to see the set restarts stats as well but I can't find them.

Looks like a dry track on Saturday. I'd rather not have this game ruined by over-officiating.

 

[Kilkenny]

We’re being punished for our success.

Unconscious bias i think they call it.

Were being penalised for infringements that other sides are equally culpable of but we are not getting the same calls.

Were just going to have to suck it up it is likely to continue even in games we are dominant.

Fish man of the match!!
