Team V Panthers

[Matua]

WTF. Seriously WTF?

Is this Webby's master plan to right off the loss we're going to have?

This is the Warriors of old stuff. I find it quite comforting actually.

Serious question without bias or underlying tone...what would you have done, considering all injuries?

 

[Matua]

No f**king idea, but then again I'm not being lauded for my coaching on the biggest hype train of the millenium.

I'd slot Stacey in there. He has unfinished business from 2009.

First guy to win a finals game at the club in 12 years...worth a bit of a song and dance in that context.

I thought you must have a specific gripe, I can't see who shouldn't be there and has a viable replacement

Not sure why some of you are flipping out about the team selection. We have one fit proven first grade half available. We’re about to play the premiers at Magic round. It’s really not the kind of stage you want to put a NSW cup player into for his debut if you can help it.
we do happen to have two very capable fullbacks with NRL experience though, so it’s not that strange that one of them is deputising.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

TBH, I'm quite happy with the line up provided who is unavailable.

I agree with someone who alluded to previously about Taine and CNK being fluid. I don't think we'll see either player stick to just their named position.

Looking forward to seeing Ali getting a run out.

I can't comment on Farr as I've never seen him play.

Really hope that Kosi doesn't come into the team

Time will tell, I guess there are a few players who have experience at 6 in first grade that could have played there - Harris and Walker the obvious ones. Regardless, be good to see what TMM can offer

 

[Izz]

Taine's been doing plenty of kicking in NSW Cup, so my guess is he & TMM will share that around this weekend. Despite knowing we'll get beat, I'm actually looking forward to seeing how the team goes

 

[Izz]

Yes!

I can't comment on Farr as I've never seen him play.

I'm no expert of course, but I think he's at the not quite ready stage. Definitely has potential, though

YES!!

That’s fair but either would involve taking them out of a position where arguably can’t spare them. I think having Taine and CNK in the mix is a better idea

If that’s the case I 100% support not dumping him into first grade in a weakened side against the premiers. That’s not how to blood players.

I’m 6 of one, half dozen of the other. No easy answer atm

It's Magic round! Anything could happen.
But don't even think David Copperfield could pull that trick off!

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Is Tohu out??

Mate told me its due to a broken finger

 

[Leber]

Yeah Tohu gone.

 

[Blair]

Yeah Tohu gone.

I'm OK with this as he obviously needs a rest.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

I'm OK with this as he obviously needs a rest.

Is that 9 first grade players out now?

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Tohu
RTS
Berry
Niukore
SJ
Metcalf
Capewell
Lussick
CHT

The top 7 of whom are first choice players. I do t think many teams could deal with that kind of injury toll.

 

[Big Marn]

kind of bs that young players getting blooded into this sort of a game. This is Ken Rutherford v the Windies sort of shit.
