After watching today's trial game, who's in your 17?

[GA45]

I think CC will go with

1 Perham
2 JAC
3 Burns
4 Averillo
5 Kiraz
6 Burton
7 Flanagan
8 King
9 Mahoney
10 Thompson
11 Kikau
12 RFM
13 TPJ

14 Preston
15 Sutton
16 Waddell
17 ?????

If you put Reynolds on the bench the only player he can come on for is Mahoney...Will Mahoney be playing the full 80 week in week out?

Than again the Panthers somehow fit in that mullethead Salmon on the bench with Luai, Cleary and Apin in the team.....

The last #17 will be real interesting

After watching today why do you think Waddell makes the bench ?

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Too much of a selection headache, I'll leave it to Ciraldo lol

 

[COVENS]

I agree but we will make do with backrowers. Panther played games last season with only JFH, Leota and Spencer as genuine props.

They can get away with that when they have To'o and Edwards punching out 400m a game

I agree but it's not like we have any other option at this stage.

Kiraz was very average imo, so overrated also.

he thinks he is a gun, which he isnt, has ability but not consistent enough for me yet.
We are light on in the outside backs imo.
What our bench for round one is tough
Pele
Preston
Thompson
Davey
Nu brown
Patalo
Wadell etc

Its the one bad game i’ve ever seen him have like what??? He still had that offload to which created that Burns and Averillo LB play that looked special until he tripped over.

After watching today why do you think Waddell makes the bench ?

After watching Preston play today, we are covered well in the backrow with Kikau, RFM and Preston....Davey will also add value

From what I have seen over the last couple of years, Waddell is better when playing prop/lock than in the backrow

I think we are lacking a couple of players up front and Waddell will plug a hole until we get a couple of better forwards

We have King, Thompson and TPJ....Sutton is a workhorse and doesnt offer any impact, though will be sufficient in CC system.....

Waddle will add impact off the bench and hopefully he has gotten rid of the stupid penalties and the odd bobble

Pele looked trimmer than his days at Cronulla, though he still needs to start at Cup and work his fitness and D, and if he does it well, no doubt he will come into the 17 later in the year

Patolo seems like a pus (Ogden, Atoni), hopefully he has had a few shots of aggression throughout the pre-season

 

[finchie]

If we miss the 8 this year it will be because of flanacrap
Nothing has changed

who ever told him to run the ball should be shot
Never ever seen him be successful with the dummy and go
Continually chooses the wrong option and can’t complete a sweep play
Terrible kicking game

even kicking for touch is cringe with him

Burton centre grub 5/8 hahahah

 

[CrittaMagic69]

I told everyone about Preston 6 weeks ago

I know about him 6 weeks and 1 day ago.

 

[KLil]

Centre - Skelton for Avo..

Bench - Sutton/Pele/Preston/Topine/Nu

Rest of team picks itself.

Flanno hanging on for 7, everyone else nipping at the heels.

You got me
Well done my bro

Will be massive if he nails down the right edge and forces RFM to the middle, would strengthen our attack and middle rotation.

 

[judyisapunk]

I don't think we would have bothered to bring Nu back if he wasn't going to get a crack at the 14, though if Reynolds has a really good game next week you never know.
