Team v Panthers

[vvvrulz]

Put Ashyford in for Kata

Wasn't there some rule around number of players we're allowed to field in a season - have we exceeded that?

Viliame Kikau may be out for Penrith due to passpost issues.

Should be out due to judiciary issues

Put Ashyford in for Kata

We gave up on that a long time ago

 

[Leber]

I'd rather have Lawton at 6 instead of turn style Lino.

Some goss coming out of Penrith, a 'strained relationship' between Maloney and Nathan Cleary.

yeah, interesting - everyone seems to love young Nathan, but he's done f**k all yet, and TBH the Panthers went better without him... They need to sort it out though, Maloney is a pest but he's a winner

Unfortunately, they cleared it up.

Should be a tough test with Fisher-Harris coming back too. Campbell-Gillard, Tamou, Kikau, Fisher-Harris, Merrin, Harewira-Naera and Yeo...they got a decent pack.

Green, Pulu out

Tohu and Lino in

 

[ozenzud]

Full team

Warriors: Roger Tuivasa-Sheck (c), David Fusitu'a, Gerard Beale, Solomone Kata, Ken Maumalo, Mason Lino, Shaun Johnson, James Gavet, Issac Luke, Agnatius Paasi, Isaiah Papali'i, Adam Blair, Simon Mannering
Interchange: Jazz Tevaga, Tohu Harris, Bunty Afoa, Peta Hiku, Leivaha Pulu, Anthony Gelling, Chris Satae, Karl Lawton

So Pulu is 18th man or reserves?

 

[JJ]

You almost want Beale to be out, because Hiku's going to be in the 17 anyway - at least if he starts we have a 4 forward bench

 

[Izz]

This morbid fascination with having a centre on the bench has gotten past ridiculous. If Beale is injured and Hiku starts at centre, what's the bet Gelling comes onto the bench?

 

[Penrose_11]

Short turn around with travel doesn't help either.

Yeah not liking the 5 day backup. Definitely going to be up against it with some of those big Panther forwards running at us.

 

[Blair]

Green, Pulu out

Tohu and Lino in

Bugger me, we can't win can we? I mean, in regard to getting our full-strength side on the field.

 

[vvvrulz]

Why bother with that Hiku bench spot, Lawton suits the super sub much better.

Yeah and thats why I'd be surprised if Kearney still goes ahead with a centre on the bench. I know Hikus named there now but surely there will be a late change.

 

[Big Marn]

im probably the last person to defend Hiku on this site but just for shits and giggles, he did come on and score a try to tie the game up for us, so what else were you expecting from a super sub?

Touché

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Short turn around.
Injury to an important player.
Centre on the bench.
A team that carved us up last time.
Who also lost last week.
We have the worst home record of any team.

All signs pointing to a loss.

YES!

I suppose it was good that he got himself in position to take the offload, but that was virtually all Adam Blair

Come on Phil. You are going to put the wind right up Blair this week.
I dont know if incontinence trousers are really a thing.
