Shane Rodney

DO you think this guy will be in the side all year if injury free?

Also, do you think he will be goal-kicking with Girds and Preston there?

Thanks

Yes, he's a great utlity player... usually comes on to pack down in the second row or lock the scrum, but can also play in the centres, which I believe is where he played when Girds had to come off injured in the GF last year.

He nailed a couple of beauties against the Warriors last week... I think he was kicking last week because Presto had lost some confidence with the boot... with Girds back this week, he'll go back to first choice probably, with Campbell the back up. But having Rodney as a back up to him is definitely a bonus, as is Roberts.

I think Preston still has a few problems at different times with his groin,
and if he feels any strain at all on a kick, then he hands the job to
someone else.

Better safe than sorry. I would rather miss a few goals than have Preston
off the field altogether.

I was waiting for Roons and Gowie to have a kick too last week! :lol: Yeah Rodney is a good kicker....it wouldnt surprise me at all if he becomes the main kicker a few years down the track.

How good is our bench? All young players who do the job. I'm grateful for it. Ross, Rodney, Swain and Whatuira. Also many players in Premier League who do the job. We have great depth, no injuries at the moment its good news.

Hi Panther fans
just wondering if the Panthers have resigned Rodney yet?
or are they anywere near resigning him?

 

[Pazza]

Forget Rodney, i would rather see Pritchard at the Eels.

 

[Big Mick]

Both are close to re-signing.

 

[Tupac Shakur]

Ben Ross is close or maybe has very recently re-signed with us.

 

[Fibroman]

Ben Ross needs to be our number one priority to re-sign at the moment. I actually rate his form in front of Clinton and Lang at the moment. He is on fire!

 

[Tupac Shakur]

Yeah he is always causing havock with his runs. Good support also of Priddis last week which lead to a brilliant try. I love the Panthers!!!!

Priddis/Ross Try was the mirror version of Alex/Jas try and when Ross got over the line...Jas jumped up and yelled `That's how I got my try'

 

[Big Mick]

Yeah i scored one like that as well.
