Team v Panthers

[Meth]

If we were ever going to beat the Panthers, it's now. No Luai. No Cleary. Might rest other Origin players? Who knows.

1- Tuivasa Sheck
2- Watene-Zelezniak-
3- Berry
4- Aitken
5- Montoya
6- Walsh
7- O'Sullivan
8- Fonua-Blake
9- Egan
10- Lodge
11- Katoa
12- Sironen/Murdoch-Masilla
13- Curran

Res- Tevaga, Afoa, Ah-Mau, Murdoch-Masilla/Evans

Murchie and Nikorima out
Aitken and Curran in.

I'm sure Sironen will be good to play

Taunoa-Brown joins Dragons on short-term loan

The Vodafone Warriors welcomed loan players last year - now they're returning the favour.

Taunoa-Brown going to the Dragons for 3 weeks

I've wanted to try Walsh at 6 all year but it doesn't seem like Brown is considering it. We'll see him at fullback again and RTS on the wing. Sigh.

Team won't improve until Chad is back from shoulder injury, and even then it's only a minor improvement.

I can see us not winning another game this year, apart from maybe the Dogs.

Like your team, Meth, except I'd play RTS @ 6 with a licence to run, & maybe give BMM a week off

That's a fair reflection of how very, very average JTB has been for us, and I suppose how gone our season is. We're happy to ship him off to another club, who is inside the 8. I don't particularly like it, to be honest. The Dragons f**ked up and they should be made to suffer for it. Will this make JTB a better player? Doubt it.

That’s an interesting idea given the won’t play Walsh at 6…. I want the ball in RTS hands in the middle of the park…

Team named. We’re batting low in the order.

We are in with a chance if Tohu, Townsend and Aitken play

Why is Aitken not named to start?

Why is Aitken not named to start?

Because Brown is a shit coach and the best move he has is to name a 17 on Tuesday but he brings in a couple of players from the 21

Aitken will play

That's what I thought, good to have confirmation - the Kearneynball playbook must be sitting around in a gear bag...

I believe Aitken is recovering from injury. Will probably play if fit.

 

[Sanchez]

As well as he has been playing, Montoya is probably odd man out, cause Aitken should definitely play. If fit start Harris, Tevaga to bench, Townsend for SOS, although id probably carry SOS on the bench. Drop AhMau and Evans. SOS can cover if Townsend falls over or can come on for Egan and Nikorima play hooker for 20. So new bench would be Tevaga, Curran, Afoa, SOS

I thought Aitken and Curran were out due to being in a plane with someone with Covid so they had 2 weeks isolation

Yeo is the key IMHO. He is the glue that holds the Panthers middle together. If he's rested, we are vulnerable.

He’s quality, love that sort of player… bit like Mannering was for us, but with quality around him

I think it is fair to say that our season has gone to shit and interest levels are waning.

True - but with the lockdown in Sydney I am hoping the Warriors bring something to cheer me up

 

[nswarrior]

A lot of changes to the team - Aitken, Harris and Townsend in, Montoya to wing and RTS to five eight and Kodi to bench etc.

Katoa on the bench is a strange one
