Toa defends better than Turuva does at centre. He's also better at creating space for Turuva. It's a different team now - look at how well Toa did at the start of last year when injury free and given more space.

There was a great pic a few weeks back of a few dogs players at the dog track, with Gould. Galvins dad was in the background. This isn't under 12's mate. Go home and let your son be.

He has good run metres, so put him at lock. It's not the primary role of a half. Sure, if he's doing that on top of his duties, then great, but he's not.

The last team to beat the Panthers was the tigers ;)

I think our best team this year has Douehi at 7, Luai at 6 and Toa and May in centres. Next year Latu 7 with Luai 6, the year after Latu 7 and Andrews at 6.

If we look at the next five games, we have Eels, Knights, Broncos, Raiders and Sharks. One game and a time and all that, but to me they are all winnable. May and Luai come back against the Raiders. Toa could be back any time in next few weeks. I have a sneaking suspicion that Ethan Roberts...

No changes for me, but if Toa fit bring him in, Tavana loses his spot and Turuva back to wing. Also, could move Turuva to side with Makasini, but that would be my second option. Also good to have the combo between Luke and Makasini develop.

Hopefully he eats a dodgy vindaloo tonight

agree. Hopefully the human missile Skelton lands one on Mitchell early.

Benji and Turuva said Turuva would line up at centre.

Mixed tips from pundits and podcasters ladies and gentleman. I’m tipping the tigers…just have a feeling.

It will be Turuva to centre IMO, like on the weekend, but they may choose to defend Douehi one wider to cover opposing centre.

Any update on his shoulder?

Toa will be in. He was touch and go for yesterday. I think May will be ok anyway.

Benji is a good reader of people too. That’s a huge part of coaching.

They never played to his side and for the most part they played him in the wrong side of the field.

Luke is still so young. He won’t make 4 errors again. I’d be persevering with Luke to start for a few more weeks. His off the mark speed so much better. Skelton has errors in him too, just didn’t make any yesterday. I see your point though.

I went to the game yesterday - here’s my thoughts: - tigers have so many attacking weapons, and even our halves are serious run threats. Douehi and Luai look great together an will only get better. - you could see the cowboys struggled with our physicality - we are bigger and stronger than last...

Oh, my bad. Yes, they will be going his side in the red zones quite a bit. In that case Purdue is going to have to mark Taylan May which is probably even worse for him!

I was unsure about him being picked at centre, purely due to his defence. They’ve obviously seen enough at training to know that he can handle it. I’m excited to see him line up against Purdue who is slight and has made some really bad decisions in defence at centre. Also, the majority of...
