Opinion Our Right Edge

[jordansaba]

I don’t even think a Burton, Kikau, Schoupp, JAC side is even top 8. It’s not top 4 worthy either.

bro what

Bullshit!! JAC - best winger in the comp, Kikau - arguably best backrower in the comp, Burton - an up and coming star on the rise, and you cant see this as at least better then 8 other teams? Yeah ok.

100%

I'll doubt Almonti will make it , has huge defensive issues, plus I'd like to see how much hunger the kid has got

Who is this Almonti guy you speak of?

To’o is better than JAC, Papali’i is the best backrower in the comp. It’s probably 8th and i maybe was wrong but there is still 7 better left sides then ours.

Disagree, To'o is not better than JAC. Penrith fans would even admit JAC is better. What has To'o done in the World Cup compared to the Fox? By the way this is To'o's first WC? What has To'o done since 2017? Addo-Carr has been playing like machine for 5 years of his career and is getting even better.

Papalii has had 1 good season with the Eels, and will fuck up at the Tigers. He hasn't even played for them yet and is already mocking them. We have a top 4 left edge with Burton, Kikau and Addo-Carr. However, we need to find a new left centre and Bronson Xerri is the man.

To’o probably was playing Harold Matts in 2017

No way on earth papali'i is better then Kikau! Kikau has it all over him. My tip is that Papali'i flops at the tigers next year.
To'o is a great winger, but id take JAC any time. So yeah, i disagree on both fronts.

Ran 4th in a maiden over 1100m at Bendigo last week.

Ok but this isn’t true.

I can cop To'o over foxx but no way us Papali'i better than Kikau. Get off that plane to bizarro world brother.

The Panthers juniors who as you said "throw them in the deep end" were all dominating in the juniors and than reserve grade. They were ready both mentally and physically to play NRL.. Alomoti can't consistenly put back to back games together at a high level and fades in and out of games, especially in defence. He is a star in the making but not yet ... that's all I'm saying.

Exactly.

Through all levels of the panther system they train and practice the same structures.

Anyone stepping up to any level in their system can just step in knowing the game style and plays.

Any player getting “thrown” into first grade At Penrith, any young player introduced to first grade is also surrounded by quality.

Hopefully it’s these full team pathway structures that CC & Gus can bring to the doggies.

 

[Phalangist]

Could Kiraz play left side centre? JAC gets no ball from Schoupp. I wouldn’t mind a right edge of RFM, Schoupp, Allan on the wing?

I think that union convert will get first crack.

It’s close but Papali’i is just better. Kikau second.

 

[DogsOfWar1704]

Kikau is an attacking weapon who is also one of the best defensive edge back rowers.
Papalii is a strong workhorse.
Kikau is the better player hands down.

Papali’i is also an attacking weapon. if Kikau had a better work ethic, he would be fuckn insane.

They're pretty close right now tbf. Kikau is more of a luxury player though and if the rest of the team isn't firing then he will likely come under heavy criticism. He's a match winner in big games and offensively has pretty much every skill you'd want in an edge forward. Papali'i on the other hand will slot into any team seamlessly, punch out almost twice as many runs as Kikau and almost twice as many tackles all while offering similar numbers in attack. Papali'i is also more powerful than Kikau right now despite the larger workload.

Anyway it will be very interesting watching Kikau with us, he won't be afforded the same luxuries for us that he is within the Panther system. If the team goes on a bad run and he's punching out 80m running average 20 odd tackles then the T-rex comparisons will come flying thick and fast.

Everyone will blame Kikau himself rather than Burton’s ball playing shitness.

Kikau's explosiveness is unrivalled ATM but there are other players similar to Papalii, although he is at the top of those types of players being so strong and relentless. It's close but I'd take Kikau (hoping that our inside men can do their job).

Kikau was sensational for fiji playing in an under strength team.
CC will get the best out of him
