there is no way that named panthers side is how they will line up.

Not sure what to make of the Copley drop.. he hasn't been great this year, but I still think he's more useful than Reed at left centre. Interesting to say the least.. good to see Alex back so early.
Defensively Reed has been the better center, But all this dropping and positional changes seems to really **** up Copley. Coach makes the decisions and i trust him.

It's possible that Wayne might be sending Dale to QCUP to get 80 minutes in the Centres for a couple of weeks, it's gotta be better for him than shifting between positions every couple of minutes, let's hope he has a couple of blinders and gets back into the team at the expense of Reed.

There's not a lot of minutes on that bench, which is a little concerning. That is offset by the return of Glenn,who I am surprised to see back so soon. Even so, we really need big games from our senior forwards,and I hope their rotation is well managed.
Conversely, unsurprised to see Boyd not named. He'll be better for the additional time to recuperate. In the meantime, it's great to see Kahu back. He was shaping up nicely before the hamstring issues, and hopefully he picks up where he left off.
Unlucky of Copley to be dropped but hopefully a week in Q Cup will serve to play him back into form. I'd rather him over Maranta, but I think our backline looks more sound defensively in it's current incarnation.
In fairness, Panthers still have a solid team but lack leadership. Moylan has done admirably in the absence of Wallace, Soward and Segeyaro but can't do it all on his own.

Interesting to see Molo and Offa in, as well as Glenn! Missed watching him play. Wouldn't be surprised if Boyd is a late inclusion, they will probably run fitness tests on him this week to see if he is up to scratch. If the Panthers line up like that, I don't give them much of a chance. For the record, if Boyd is a late inclusion I want to see Oates in the centres and Reed dropped, keep Kahu at FB for now. Let's Go Boys!! Fired up for this game, feeling a 20+ victory!
Have to feel sorry for the Panthers though...looks like they have West Tigers syndrome:
Mansour, Idris, Wallace, Soward, Segs, Whare....this list is endless!!
