Panthers v Broncos preview
6 hours ago | Rhys Sullivan
Coach Troy McCarthy has selected an unchanged seventeen-man
squad for the Round 18 clash against the Norths Devils at Bishop Park
this Sunday afternoon.
Melbourne Storm contracted prop Jordan McLean is again set to start
in the front row alongside Steven Thorpe, while Leon Panapa will line up
on the interchange bench.
Winger Ryan Tongia has not been named as he continues his recovery from a sternum problem.
In other injury news, barnstorming prop Mitch Garbutt is unlikely to
return to the field this season after undergoing a shoulder operation
following an injury suffered against the Wynnum Manly Seagulls in Round
16.
It will be a hard-fought day in all three grades, with the Tigers and
Devils sitting towards the pointy end of the ladder in both A Grade and
Colts.
A Grade coach Scott Sipple has also selected an unchanged squad ahead
of what shapes as a tough battle against second-placed opposition.
Meanwhile in Colts, Kurt French will start at five-eighth after
coming off the bench in his first appearance for the club last weekend.
The 19-year old joins the Tigers after 23 games across two seasons for
the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the Under 20 Toyota Cup.
