MIGOTY!
Interesting game this one.
Can the riff "bounce back"?
Who plays lock?
Will DCE carve them up?

 

[nightster]

Tommy into lock .... just joking Turbo1 ...

 

[Holmsey]

Game will be a good indicator as to how DCE has taken the news, if he plays good it will mean he hasnt been effected and neithed will manly, if hes poor it will most likely show that he was really only motivated by the qld selection opportunity. Hopefully he smashes panthers, im keen to watch, going up to penrith and going to watch reserves and 20s will be good. If anyone wants my opinion on those matches ill make a thread. As for the line up, Brown cant start please god no! Can play bench but not start, i dont want him adding to his 25 running meters for the year. Id start Kennedy at 12 (Would play jamil but he cant) and have someone other than brown at lock. If Bainbridge is fit he can play backrow and kennedy lock.

 

[andyvb]

Jarrad Kennedy to lock? Shaun lane? The guy from parra who we signed? Hoppa?

 

[OneEyedEagle]

Anyone going to the game? I will be there cheering on the side to victory

 

[The Who]

You can bet Poo will be in the top 13 again. It's a mystery that may only be solved if we bring in CSI.

Is that another Corey?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

He won't be poor, he has been playing well all year and that won't change unless he gets hurt.

Just watching the NRL Tries of Round 17.

Rabbids forwards carved up the Riff forwards like they weren't there.

Merrin and Tamou have lost their potency 🙂

Marty and Perrett should have a field day on Saturday

 

[Bradza]

NNMIGOTY as in nowhere near.........

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Play like we have been playing for 5 weeks and it will be a whitewash of epic proportions, let's not forget Souffs dusted them 42 to 8 yesterday and Souffs aren't that great!!!

Is AFB playing, if so you can imagine him ripping Penrith forwards to shreds as well

AFB still needs to work on his offloads and temper - work in progress

But Perrett is getting his match fitness back and has a more creative style IMO

Marty is already a complete package

It was interesting watching where the Rabbids continuously busted the Riff line.

I kept seeing the size differential and feel that the Manly pack, with Turbo on the left and Chez on their right, will be able to command a win

Little if any sympathy with Queensland as a proud Blues supporter, but I have great sympathy for our mighty captain DCE who so desperately wanted to represent his state. I was simply dumbfounded when DCE missed selection. I just heard Gordon Tallis justifying Daley's non-selection on NRL Tonight stating Ben Hunt was preferred off the bench because his running game was superior to Cherry's. Surely he's kidding. I wanted to shout at the television (useless gesture I know) when I heard this comment. Cannot understand the Qld selector's attitude.

Isn't this the same Ben Hunt Wayne Bennett dropped to reserve grade a few weeks ago because his running game was off!

At his best, DCE has the touch of genius about him and is in career best form - Ben Hunt is a good solid half. One positive for Blues supporters though - I'm sure the Blues aren't too upset about DCE missing from the side.

 

[COMMANDER]

Danger game for us. Although the Riff are all over the place this year.

 

[brad]

Origin or not Dce is in great form and in the top 2 halves in the game , he will carve them up.

 

[Holmsey]

Ill be there! Dads a panthers supporter hopefully i can rip him.

 

[ricardo]

Migoty will be the gf.

This will be an interesting game though. I will be interested to see how the reserves step into the turbo spots.

Not really when you think about it, only Jake Trbo gone, we have the superior pack anyway and the backline alone should destroy the panthers overrated side. Our backs don't just have individual brilliance and strength but also the ability to work as a team
