Trial v Sharks

[Panfa]

Salmon can play centre 5/8 lock backrow hooker he's perfect for the utility role.

I was hoping O'Sullivan would fill that role.

Doesn't play enough positions and likely need him to play 7 to start the year

 

[Smug Panther]

Salmon is too slow to play anywhere but the forwards.
Spencer should be playing if fit, he's been managed so poorly. He'll probably look to leave soon

Seems like the locks for round 1 aren't playing

Spencer hasn't really played in 18+ months

No but he is clear number 3 prop now. No point risking anyone like that

Clear? Ivan hasn't shown that. If anything it appears he doesn't rate him

I disagree with that. Each to their own.

My biggest gripe with Ivan is he is too cautious with players in the side. I have listed many cases across both stints here of such things. Leinu is another case of such a thing

He played in the GF.
With Capewell going and Martin moving to backrow. It opens it up for him to get more minutes.

Maybe Sorensen is number 3 but certainly no one would be in the prop rotation over him

He will be in the team for the parra trial does not need to play this week

Had it confirmed by those in know today that Tago will be starting centre Rnd 1.

I think he'll have a breakout year at centre. Fascinating who will partner To'o on the other wing ?

Thats the side Tago will play. Critter on the right

I think that was a given. Those who can push him out need game time

Ivan spoke about him a couple weeks ago in an interview when talking about replacing lost players. Said he’s a backrower but they think he can give centre a good crack this year.

Also Yeo mentioned him as one to watch, said he’s crazy strong with a mature head and thinks he will be playing the full season just about if he stays healthy

The Panther Yeo expects to graduate from nursery to first-grade in 2022

“He is probably the one.”

He said similar on MMM Earlier in the week. Even with no May still plenty of centres this week. Puru possibly does a Burton and plays centre and 5/8

No doubt he plays the whole season just will it be centre only is the question

Who will be the other winger, (I didn't explain myself well)

 

[CCJohnC]

Who will be the other winger, (I didn't explain myself well)

My choice would be Staines

 

[Exsilium]

Tago can fill the centre roll while filling out a bit for the backrow in years to come.

The key will be who steps into the 14. I think Salmon is a great choice. He's skilled, not particularly fast but he has a good motor. I think he'll have a good year. Dont be surprised if he lines up at centre to start the season with Tago off the bench.
