Good team on paper
Should be a cracker at suncorp
Hoping we target Walsh for his defensive liabilities.

 

[Viking1]

Good call Beastmode. We have looked dangerous in second phase ball.

I think we should practice offloading
More is better

… and practise goal kicking. Let Pompey take over

 

[Noitall]

@Cces Kosi lines up at right wing. Can you confirm that is his preferred edge? By memory you have some posts on this topic.

Kosi and Berry were playing as an edge together at Redcliffe when covid caused what it did

 

[CWC]

So Haas is a groin niggle? How do we aggravate that? Two men leg lift for a split?

 

[Rick O’Shay]

I really can't see the logic in having TMM there unless they know something we don't.

Still think Healey should be in the 17 as he offers more spark off the bench. He's young, believes in himself (like they all do) and offers the arrogance of youth

Yeah mate. He's reserved his shockers for the left

TMM had his chance in Panthers game
To show what he offers
Nothing!
Big diff in NSW cup
Than FG

Do we win that game with Healey on the bench in your opinion?

 

[Bluecat]

Hope Rocco can get an injury free run going. Nice to have Capewell in the side just in case.
Probably the only change I would make is to swap TMM for Healey to interchange with Egan
I like the forward pack and if they stand up we will beat the Broncs.

If anything we would be worse off you would think.

Yep
Healey always looks dangerous around ruck
With tiring forwards
I know Wahs outgunned in fwds against Panthers
But we had hardly any ball too

On that premise, would potentially have been better to play Healey over Egan. Quiet game for Egan, though he made 44 tackles but was pinged for being inside the 10 twice and quiet in all other facets. He missed the sharks game for what has probably been our best performance of the season

Healey is a huge talent, but his way into first grade needs to be with minutes off the bench.
There is a big difference between shining in one off appearances and doing it week in week out in first grade.

At the moment TMM is getting that bench spot due to his versatility but hopefully Healey gets another crack soon. We aren't dropping Egan even if has had a couple of quieter weeks

Healey and TMM went well against sharks in the way they were used, perhaps whatever kept Egan out of that game is still troubling him? I personally don’t see carrying Healey over TMM wins us the game against panthers and think losing Niukore and DWZ played a bigger part. Webster has said they’d rather carry a utility than a backup hooker, perhaps that’s because TMM can cover positions of players carrying slight niggles?

For a long time I have thought Webster desire to play Egan as a close to 80 minute player has been detrimental. I thought this year with Egan performing really well in early longer minute games that maybe this has changed, my personal opinion (no evidence) is that as we have got to the mid season mark the multiple big minute games have began to take there toll on Egan again. In my mind his body is capable of 55-60 minutes per game and we should have specialist cover ie Healey to play the other 20ish

He’s not picking up the head knocks but not having the same impact as earlier in the season

 

[CWC]

Feels like we're limping to the finish line called the 3rd bye round and restart.

What a weird situ, AKL too cold this year, everyone getting stiff when rested?

I think Egan has a strong desire to play Origin oneday, you can see him building up to it then crashing after.
I hope that he picks himself up a bit as he will get the chance to play finals this season, another bye coming up can only be a positive for recovery.

Yeah hopefully Rocco plays injury free right up to the 5th of October.
