Tevita pangai jr to debut for penrith

[Bulldog1966]

About 5 months of speculative team selections on here..this won't get old quick....

 

[Howie B]

I'm a little more optimistic. I'm hoping he didn't want to change much for this year because he wasn't certain who of the playing group would be here next season. (Fully expect Jackson to play the 75% Yeo role)

I'm hoping with more talent he is smart enough to juggle some things around to accentuate the players he has.

The problem is that Jacko cant play the Yeo role. He doesnt have the passing skills.

Yeo is very good with the ball. Jacko isnt. His passes generally miss the mark

What are you basing that on?

Because Schoupp is a left centre he's young still learning the game so you cant move him.
Naden can play both sides.

 

[bradyk]

And TPJ is potentially a better prop than both of them.

I personally wouldn't of bought Vaughan and played TPJ prop instead. Once Vaughan was signed I put a line through TPJ in the middle but we'll see soon I guess.

 

[alchemist]

Seumanufagai and Patolo are fine to play small bench minutes (even Asiata) Thompson and Vaughan are big minute props.

in that case, then I would play TPJ as a Taumalolo style middle third lock IF RFM can return to full fitness (or close to)

TPJ will play in the middle along with Thompson, Vaughn, Avo and Patolo. I can see Jacko going to an edge. If they keep jacko as a ball playing 13 then id say TPJ starts from the bench.

Did you see Jacko play on an edge in 2020 ?

Blokes were running around him with ease. Too slow for an edge these days

Mmm, are we sure Schoupp is even in the Round 1 team next year? I have a feeling Barrett is going to give Allen first shot.

Schoupp should be our first picked centre imo.

Schoupp needs to develop a pass / offload if he wants to play next to JAC

Yeah, he should - I don't think Barrett wants to take L on Allen though

 

[COVENS]

The problem is that Jacko cant play the Yeo role. He doesnt have the passing skills.

Yeo is very good with the ball. Jacko isnt. His passes generally miss the mark

Yeah, he doesn't have Yeo's running game either - that's what I meant by the 75%

The passing game should improve with reps though.

Schoupp is better then Allen

Jac will help him he's only young give him time.
If not Burton will do a cut out pass to Jac.

 

[COVENS]

Schoupp is better then Allen

Yes he is

 

[Waldo]

TPJ and Vaughn in the middle
Jackson and Hetherington on edge (Jackson to bench when RMF fit)
Thommo at lock
Asiata on bench

 

[Waldo]

Avo to fullback

 

[Waldo]

Dufty can play 18th man idc

must be watching a different game, jackson defence in middle or edge is second to none. I think he needs to play less game time imo tho to fit in RFM on a edge. keeps him fresh also

Care to put a wager on that?
