Round 9 vs the Sharks

[GongPanther]

It's just a pity there's no reserve grade.

I've heard Ch9 have canned the broadcasting of the reserve grade for good.

Obviously Ivan isn't.

Thanks, scoop.

Kennedy is a capable fullback. I'm quite certain Dugan will stay at centre next to Graham. It's been a great combo for the Sharks in 2020 and I don't think they would change it.

You can’t be serious.

Fittler was a centre who developed into halve, that took time.

Burton is an excellent young halve who needs time to develop. Simples.

Yep. Putting a left side half on at right side centre with 0 gametime there is a panic move atm. A few more opposed sessions and who knows

Going out the other way is much easier than coming in from the outside backs to the halves. Wing/centre play isn’t as difficult as the halves. And we know Burton was an outside back in juniors.

Mutalino and Katoa are the wingers. It is just whether they want Kennedy or Goodwin in the side

Not if it’s just on the wing.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Playing Burton anywhere other than the halves, when we have much better options is plain stupid.

MWZ is obviously there to cover Whare (Naden to the centre’s) and Staines will cover Dylan who pulled up with a sore ankle.

The panic surrounding Burton is seriously not warranted, if a club is going to offer him overs to leave, so be it, nothing we can do about it.

Just chill people, we need to put the strongest possible team on the field.

I can’t believe anyone would think MWZ is a “much better option”

MWZ is a very, very average player.

Sharks have named him as fullback.

Fox league app has sharks winning probability at 55 percent. Panthers at 45.

Moderated by Phil Rothfield.

He’s played wing in the NRL, that makes him a better option than trying to get a very promising halve to try and do it.

Can you imagine Burton taking play 1 hit ups, like seriously, get a grip. MWZ is just fine as 3rd string back up.

Yes I can. As I’ve said, Burton knows wing play. If we were talking about someone with no experience playing out wide, of course I wouldn’t suggest it.

Not all wingers are hit up machines anyway.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Do people honestly believe that trying to make Burton into a centre or a winger is going to help , if another team come in and offer him big bucks and a starting Halves spot?

You can stay at the Panthers and try and be a centre or come play in the halves for us? On halves money.

Playing him out of position won’t help with his retention, not if another club really want him.

He doesn’t make our strongest 17 at the moment. That’s how it is.

He’s never played on the wing in the NRL. He would hate every second of it.

Meh. I am sure the winning percentage was higher in the Storm's favour when we played them. Didn't help them.
The Sharks have had the wood on us the past few years. The way Fox's data is compliled probability reflects their percentages.
We are a different beast this year.

How would you know what he likes and dislikes you are being ridiculous.

Yeah ok, I’m the one being ridiculous, thankfully the NRL coaching staff are just as ridiculous as me.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Just in case people don’t believe me that he used to be a winger

Stats are probably from the "Fox Lab" The same tag they ripped off from Roy & H.G.

Cooper Cronk was also a winger as a Jnr. Would you play him on the wing?
