Thompson's PC metres were actually better than our other starting middles, faster play the ball speed too.
He got monstered on one hit up that I saw, when a couple of Raiders got up really fast, and the play the ball had been super slow. Other than that he looked good, plenty of PCM, hitting his front, etc. He was also part of a passing movement out to the left after a quick PTB midfield. Reckon if he can get some more confidence and Reed can start getting him the ball to more advantage we can get a good deal more metres from him.

Didn’t you used to play and now coach? That’s what’s embarrassing that you think they’re the same position fmd.
you quoted that edge/second row is the same position as a lock didnt you? which is totally incorrect

he is a class player, hoping he stays for less money in the coming years. He was impressive yesterday imo.

Skeletons body language - especially after throw the pass to Wilson for his try was interesting. Wasn’t exactly excited.

I'm pretty sure Nu Brown will be on the bench as cover for mainly 9 but also 6 and 7. I've been told he's been coming on at training as a ball playing 13, giving Sutton a break, which is pretty interesting from Ciraldo. To me, that says the coach is just looking for points, great sign.

Probably because his performances are never going to reflect his salary and status as a marquee.
Yes, but people need to realise this is brand new team (coaches and players) and stop holding onto the past.

Everyone has a clean slate under Ciro

In terms of the perennial whipping boys;

-Flanagan was solid (he really doesn’t have to be anything more with Burton and Reed)
-Waddell wasn’t as bad as people are making it out to be ( numbers reflect that )
-Thompson was impressive

Preston, Reed and Pele also all impressive

Flanagan was okay, better than Reynolds but people on here think Reynolds was great but they're weirdos. Flanagan does get minus points for not passing the ball to Averillo all half. Waddell is okay as a middle but hopeless on an edge..didn't take him long to make a dumb mistake in defence once he was pushed wider. Thompson was better than last season but I still feel he isn't dominant enough at contact to really be a forward leader. If the teams got momentum then I think he can turn it on..

Perham
Kiraz
Alamonti
Burns
JAC
Burton
Flannigan
Thompson
Mahoney
King
Kikau
RFM
Preston

Reynolds / Brown
TPJ
Pele
Sutton
Skelton

Both TPJ and Pele off the bench after 20 minutes (with Kikau also) against tiring opposition forwards would be huge

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
What about Reynolds replacing the halves

Agree with 17. Hopefully our new recruits step up and keep Waddell out of the side.

He is definitely better in the front row than on the edge

Considering what we have up front, Waddell will one player coming off the bench trying to add impact

Wish we had better, but got to work with what we have
We have better and I think our new recruits will step up and keep him out.
