Round 8 vs. North Queensland Cowboys @Townsville

[Fangs]

'Coaching decision'

Speaking at tongues at this hour?

Its a trade.

 

[Frankus]

One of the first picked at the moment.

Absolutely. Edwards To’o and Alamoti is a very good back 3

 

[Chins get the wins]

May has an excuse. Hence why a backrow spot might be better for the side

Was a hooker as a young bloke. Is 14 an option?

 

[ColdWetPanther]

I have nothing against him either but Alamoti has power and speed. As opposed to Turuva who can finish only.

Still think May/Tago to the backrow and Alamoti and Turuva both in the side is the best option

Stop with the Tago in the back row stuff. What has Tago showed in FG that suggests he would be a better second rower than centre. We’ve got great players (Cleary, Martin, Tago) and people want to play them in positions that they would be less effective in.

I think the way we play May is better suited on the wing Alamos in the centers

I am sure Ivan will be asked in the presser.

Trade would be handy for a prop

I'd like them on the same side at least. Let them swap around

Did he ever pass it it or just bowling ball run from dummy half?

Dyl was a five eighth in the juniors and couldn't pass the ball reliably until last year.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

Think Alamoti is going to be staying in FG

Fair call haha

Another example of a player from an underperforming team coming to the Panthers and performing to their natural skill level..Alamoti has 100% bought in to our culture and systems

We have Garner and Mav as a backrow rotation, While a leading try scorer sits out.

That is enough

And the difference is this one is young with a lot of upside. He could be anything.

Stefano.

If he has already said he is ready to go then they might as well do it now.

And Fifita has the option is his hands.

Whatever happens I don't like compromising the back three. You can argue it won't be compromised (Alamoti/May) and we are lacking something in the middle but our success is heavily related to those 3. Turuva has done the job just fine.

He's a bit different he was a freak of a junior

Martin is the only one I would consider moving. But he has turned into one of the elite backrowers in the comp. But not at the detriment of having a substandard replacement. No disrespect to Garner, Geyer, etc but they are levels below Martin.

 

[Frankus]

To’o has to be the hardest bloke in the comp to tackle. He’s an absolute beast

People forget Tago started in NRL as a bench edge. May has the size now to do a similar role.

Which gets Turuva back on to the wing.

Mav will get maybe 25mins tonight
Laurie will get minimal time.

Certainly room to do it

 

[Munky]

Oof, paper thin defence

 

[age.s]

What on earth was Tago doing there?
