Seperate the men from the boys Friday night and where we stand in top teams.
Go in as underdogs and play as champions

Hard to get a line on the Panthers form given the poor opposition they've faced. They gave Cowboys, Dogs and Manly a flogging but so has everybody. Tough win over Storm with both sides missing key players in appalling conditions. So that game not the best guide.pickles wrote: ↑April 6, 2021, 3:17 pm Panthers are flying at the moment and will be very tough to beat. Not a bad thing to be going into a game like this as underdogs at this point in the season.
I think we can match them from a defensive perspective but their attack has been looking much sharper. That said, Wighton is due for a good game and at his best can be the difference between 2 teams.
This will certainly give us an idea of where we are at in terms of the form teams in the comp and what we need to work on. Not that we don't already know that it is our cohesion in attack and our kicking game!
Mate, clean up your act. Posts like this will see you declared non compus mentis on this blog. We want to hear about dropping CNK, Simonsson, Croker, Hodgson and now add the genius idea that Wighton has four weeks to prove his worth or he is gone too.Northern Raider wrote: ↑April 6, 2021, 4:19 pm

I'm with you guys... Harawira-Naera needs to come in for one of either Starling or Havili.GreenMachine wrote: ↑April 6, 2021, 4:28 pmI agree with this in theory but I always find it hard to leave Starling out...for mine it would be Havili (who is actually playing very well) ...so who knows.
With the game being quicker and the ball being in play more having some lighter bodies who are more mobile is a big advantage. Where we rolled the Titans in the end was with quick darts out of dummy half against a retreating defensive line so having Havili as a running forward and Starling as a back up hooker makes sense from that perspective, keeps our defence solid and gives us some options if an outside back is injured, especially until Scott is back and we can have Kris on the bench.GreenMachine wrote: ↑April 6, 2021, 4:28 pmI agree with this in theory but I always find it hard to leave Starling out...for mine it would be Havili (who is actually playing very well) ...so who knows.
Why doesn't anyone question Sia's spot on the bench? He gives the least impact.GreenMachine wrote: ↑April 6, 2021, 4:28 pmI agree with this in theory but I always find it hard to leave Starling out...for mine it would be Havili (who is actually playing very well) ...so who knows.
If it were up to me I'd probably prefer somebody like Guler over Soliola. But on Starling/Havili - I'm just not convinced at this stage that carrying the two of them on the interchange is the best strategy.radicalraider wrote: ↑April 6, 2021, 4:36 pmWhy doesn't anyone question Sia's spot on the bench?

Yeah, I agree. The Panthers will be confident, but every man and his dog knows we have significant improvement in us.Northern Raider wrote: ↑April 6, 2021, 4:19 pmHard to get a line on the Panthers form given the poor opposition they've faced.

I think it's purely based on Rickys long relationship with Sia.Raiders_Pat wrote: ↑April 6, 2021, 4:43 pmIf it were up to me I'd probably prefer somebody like Guler over Soliola.

Think you've got the 17 right, i dont think James and Papalii would start together. Think Sia and Papalii might start, with Sutton in the #13 and Tapine and James coming off the bench. CHN as the impact middle/edge tweener.Finchy wrote: ↑April 6, 2021, 7:12 pm 1. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad

I have a feeling the team could look like this. Taps on the bench coming back from injury, Sutton at lock, James to start, CHN take's Starling's bench spot.
