Kiraz likely out

[rainman]

Honestly don’t think we will beat them at home
So don’t want to risk injuries getting worse trying to win an extremely difficult if not impossible win
I know people don’t want to hear negativity
But let’s be real

nothing negative about that, just being real. I’d be happy if we are competitive and not get smashed too badly.

I get that theyre the 3x premiers, but teams are their worst enemies. I dont see why we can’t put up a fight against them?

I dont think its negativity but If we actually put our minds to it, we have a shot.

I think a lot of teams go into games against them a bit intimidated. Some can use that as motivation and other teams are put off their games by it.

Ideally we explode out of the gates and suffocate their attack before it gets rolling.

Waiting for an MRI.
Wilson in possible or Tracey on the wing.

He will play

I think we have enough ex-panthers and Ciraldo who can get the job done, IF we go in there playing high intensity for 80mins we can win

Probably been told by Cc to hangout with Kiraz to gee him up for the game and get some hectic tips from Kiraz

Buddying up?

Agree I just want a decent effort in defence so our F&G dosnt get hammered
And a competitive game that gives confidence and puts the other teams on notice

 

[Johnnny2233]

This is the first I have news about kiraz anywhere I doubt he won’t play he will be in he pulled up fine and played all game maybe they all
Just get scans but Wilson or Skelton I would pick on the wing

I saw one post saying just give Tracey a needle for his calf strain ffs

This will be a hard game to win, i just want us to play well and better than last weekend obviously, then what will be will be.Bloody great if we get an unlikely win.
I have one eye looking ahead to the Raiders in magic round then Dragons both coming into playing us off a bye.There very winnable games imo and we can keep progressing the right way even if we lose Friday nite.

If he’s out I trust the depth we have to cover him. Skelton and Wilson are NRL quality players

 

[bradtalo]

Wilson is only 1 week back after missing a few games. His match fitness would still be down. He was pretty quiet on the weekend whereas Skelton was his usual self. Skelton is a more like for like replacement for Kiraz. I hope he gets his opportunity. He's been killing it for weeks in regies. Just hope Ciraldo trusts his defence enough to give him another shot. I don't think Ciraldo is silly enough to move Tracey to cover wing and bring in Taaffe to fullback. If we have any chance of beating the Panthers we need Tracey at fullback.

 

[The DoggFather]

If anyone watched reserves on Saturday, you would know Skelton gets the spot if needed.

Wilson is either still injured or way out of form.

Wilson mentioned he had pneumonia. It will take him several weeks to get back up to full fitness. I thought he did well in the return game all things considered.

Is it out of the question to think that Gus would send Kiraz to sit in the MRI scan waiting area just to be seen to factualise the story that he is in severe doubt..... just to plant the speed into the minds of the Panthers that we are struggling????

I reckon Gus and CC would go that far to get any advantage to get a win over their old club.

Very slow and looked lethargic the poor bloke. Watched it live and he was struggling all game.

 

[Bullfrog2]

Skeleton please

 

[1967]

I don’t care what’s being said by some supporters here .. I believe this team has the unity, the grit, the want, leadership and the coach to win against this Panthers squad …

Bring the right game plan, stick to it and want it bad enough and they’ll come away with not only the 2 points but a truck load of respect from the teams we play moving forward ..

I think what we’ve seen from their games against Storm, Souths, Roosters, they’re more than ready for this game …

bring it on …

 

[Ewan McGrady]

If required it’s got to be Wilson. Proven performer.

Will be a very interesting game .... both teams play a similar style and i am expecting a real arm-wrestle in a hostile environment.

If our big names perform to their best, we can compete with anyone in my opinion ..... Hoping Tracey is fit, he is vital.

Our pack has more than held their own this year .... it might come down to their power outside backs verses our speed merchants.

Or perhaps Burton v Cleary ??? ....

Could this be the game that Matt stamps himself as our very own gun player ??? .... Never thought i would be even thinking this a month ago but something has finally started to click with him.
