Where will we finish in 2015?

[Thirsty Panther]

You know it's a sad season when even broncos2010 can't be bothered baiting this forum anymore.

And it looks like he will have the most accurate prediction of our finishing position.

I was thinking the same thing watching the Brocons win comfortably this afternoon.

Heres what needs to happen:

Take Plum and leave him in the second row.
He is not a prop. He is a tackling beast.

Bring in Ben Murdoch Masila to the bench. Make Latimore start. He is a big body.

Dean Whare to fullback which is safe. Don't put Will Smith at fullback. Put Bryce Cartwright at Centre.
Stop leaving Sika Manu out of the team just leave him somewhere

 

[Doomednow]

Here's what needs to happen:

Don't get injured

Win some games

Broncos2010 is pretty spot on so far this year with all his predictions sadly.

I just read his post again, I think he must have had a crystal ball.

He's a horrible fullback. Safe isn't close to accurate. His few games for us at fullback were all disasters.

Yes, it would be a dumb move to move our best non injured back to a position other than where he belongs.

 

[Big Mick]

He thought we'd come 9-12 at full strength.

We are nowhere near full strength and have been crippled with injuries.

Full strength - we are a top 4-6 team.

Well on the weekend he was our only back playing in his natural position.

Fb - Will Smith - reserve grade half
W - Waqa Blake - reserve centre
C - Isaah Yeo - reserve second rower
C - Dean Whare - nrl centre
W - Robert Jennings - reserve centre

Moving the only NRL player in his natural position would be suicide. So far the only one of those players to prove themselves as NRL quality is Yeo. But he's still a second rower playing out of position.

NRL:
Moylan
Mansour
Idris
Whare
DWZ

Reserves:
Moss
Gennings
Blake
Rennings
Simmons

Honestly our full strength reserve grade backline beats the one we had against Storm. Simply by having everyone in their natural positions and Simmons and Gennings are the two closest to first grade in that list.

Cartwright may be out as well

I played centre for Emu Plains Reserve Grade. I was waitlisted for the Storm game in case any of the other 1,179 choices above me were injured for the game. To be honest, I was quite worried on Thursday in case Ivan made the call and I made sure I didn't drink that night.

The Emu Plains first grade fullback is a mate of mine and he was even more nervous as he only had 512 choices above him. He only just missed out, but there are still a few games to go yet!

Except I think the Moylan one. Moylan got injured, but before he was injured he was superior to Stewart, and at least the equal of Dugan (who has had an excellent season), but a completely different sort of player, so its apples and oranges really.

Dugan is a very good ball runner, but not any sort of a ball player. I don't think he knows how to pass the ball. Moylan is both a runner and a distributor, but doesn't have the size to break tackles like Dugan can. He looks like a natural five eighth in the Lockyer mould and I hope he gets tried there next year.

Cartwright may be out as well

He's been cleared of serious injury but yeah he is in doubt. So we will struggle to score 10 points.

I miss Donkey boy. We were winning before he got bored with us.

Your right Soc. The more he death rode us last year the better we went. All the way to the finals. Hope he comes back soon

 

[soc123_au]

We should sign Mick Fanning. Penrith boy & a mad Panthers fan. We would never be beaten by the Sharks again.
