Round 18 v Sharks

[GongPanther]

I think the 'poor deluded bogan fool' is attempting to say that our Nathan was born in New Zealand. . Which we know is incorrect Nathan was born hilst his dad was playing for the chooks.

Or is the 'gentleman' referring to Lui who was born and rasied in the Riff from Saoman heritiage.

He played for Samoa in the RL world cup.

 

[GongPanther]

Off memory I remember us beating Cronulla 26-18 on Anzac Day in 2015... I don't think we've beat them since.

We played them on Sunday 26th,a day after ANZAC Day in 2015.

 

[GongPanther]

No way Cleary or Maloney back up after that game.

Maybe Cleary. Maloney needs a rest as his ankle will be quite sore when he wakes up tomorrow.

 

[Exsilium]

Rest them both.

We can and will win without them

 

[tripster]

Agree. But what about Peach. Played 18 minutes but didn't raise a sweat. Fittler not prepared to play him at dummy half. I think I'd rest him too. Not because he needs a rest either.

Yep, he should also be rested. He was straight onto the Tooheys New (as was Maloney) after the siren sounded.

None of them should play. Maloney was busted up pretty bad (facially) The Qld forwarded basically bashed him up all night. I noticed that DCE didn't gave a mark on him. (maybe there's lesson there for NSW forwards) They so desperately needed Reggies go forward last night.

All 3 need Friday off come back for next weekend.

Yeah we have goodbplayers so trust them and get the others back fresh to smash Brisbane.

 

[Blues Riff]

Surely Friday night sets a record for the number of Penrith juniors playing a 1st Grade match (both sides). Even minus Cleary and Lewie, it must be close. Any Stats nerds out there want to have a crack?

I like this. No more tired players and disrupted training. Credit to Griffin for making good choices.

Interesting call on Peachey. He was only on for 20 or so. Wonder if he picked up a niggle.

Might be an admission that we're stronger without him at this point.

 

[Fangs]

Only wish we did it against the Raiders well...

Buttttttt let's go pamfersss

The problem for Peachey is our best centres are fit again and he is gone next year. You have to drop someone for him now and play him on the bench.

Yeah exactly. It'd be one thing if we had an 80 minute Hooker but we (apparently) don't. Anywhere we put him will throw off the balance in some way.

Seems crazy that he could make the NSW side and not have a place in the 17 of a team with half its troops out. This is where being a Mr Fix It has hurt his career development. Hope he gets himself a set role at the Titans.

Spot on. If he had a position locked down he'd probably be right. I remember either 2016 or 17 a Dragons player got annoyed at being used as a utility for that reason and wanted a position.

the function today would of been the nail in the coffin of him backing up

 

[Kev07]

No doubt young Jarome will be targeted by the Sharks pack as well as Caleb. Will be a huge test,hoping they both have a blinder

No Luai, Blake available then for starters...This is much better week to do it

Doesn't matter anymore. Gus and Griffin appear to have reached a mutual agreement on this one.
