Almost everyone agrees that Wallace shouldn't be in the side, hopefully Ivan does too

He would do a good job like KK did with the kids in NSW Cup. We have the NZ u20's spine, Scarlett. Peachey & Moylan that can do a great job outside Sowie

 

[umina panther]

Agree for sure. He always puts in a tries is guts out but we need more. Lets not settle for ok, lets win a f**king comp.

I wish some of our forwards had his heart. if we want to be around the top 8 settle for ok. If we want to be the best we need to get ruthless on & off the field. Steady halves don't allow for that. Soward's kicking game is better so he gets the job. Need some spark with that though.

Im sure you aren't being serious with Docker but Gus was asked about him recently on twitter and his reponse was along the lines of "I don't know what Adams plans are right now, his focus is not on football" so I think we can count Docker out until we hear otherwise.

1. Moylan
2. Mansour
3. DWZ / Blake

5. G. Jennings / DWZ
6. Peachy

11. Cartwright
12. Merrin
13. Taylor

14. Yeo
15. Latimore
16. Latu
17. Mitagi / Kikau

Peachy should be 5/8, his strong running game and defence compliments sowards not so strong defence and running. He has also shown glimpses of a nice short kicking game, if he could develop some long range he would be perfect.
Either-way some consideration needs to be put into our long kicking game, pressure needs to be taken off soward, hopefully moylan and peachy can develop that area of their game, wallace dosnt offer the team anything.
Taylor, Merrin and cartwright can all play big minutes to help keep fresh front rowers on the field, yeo for injury cover.
I am not against Moylan to 5/8, i am just not sure how he would handle the workload in the middle

Considering his head injuries makes sense why he is concentrating on something else. He probably only has 1-2 years first grade left in him if he continues

 

[Kilkenny]

I don't expect Idris to be with us in 2016. I think the rumours about him moving on are probably true and there is likely to be several clubs who would be keen to take him off our hands. Other than the signing of Matagi if it happens I suspect our roster is pretty much complete. Gould has recruited very well overall particularly in securing two of the best from the NYC. Kikau in particular could be a superstar.

 

[Kilkenny]

On a side note there is potentially half a dozen of our Holden Cup side who could develop into quality NRL players. Maybe not for 2016 but certainly the year after.

 

[Kilkenny]

Panthers recruitment for 2016 pretty much finalised but the good news is the cap is in good shape and from awards night night we are in good shape to compete against the comp heavyweights for high profile signings in years ahead, while at the same time developing our own future stars.

[Big Mick]

Using all 6 of our props?

 

[chrisD]

Kikau I've selected as pure backrow, Taylor could be shifted out there and any of the props used in the middle. Will be interesting to see how coaches adapt to the new rules, but I'm expecting more players to have single stints, less back row rotation. Merrin would probably be the only front rower I think worth giving a break and bringing back on. Alternatively if we could get by with one less forward I'd have Smith on the bench. I want to see Latu, Matagi and Kikau given a good go in the hopes one or more break out.

 

[gUt]

i think will smith is your first-choice 5/8, he's a dangerous player and would complement Moylan at the back.

 

[chrisD]

I'll take TMM, Smith, Moylan, Peach or Cartwright partnering Soward before Wallace. Any of them could be the answer that Wallace isn't.
