Round 3 vs Roosters

[herbert henry1908]

Do not understand Hiku being in the team, even on the bench. Some forwards could contribute as much as him if there's an injury in the backline.

 

[Kilkenny]

Astonishing. Hard to fathom the thinking behind Hiku on the bench.

Astonishing. Hard to fathom the thinking behind Hiku on the bench.

Griffin obviously wasn't as impressed with a Blake and Peachey centre pairing as the rest of us.

 

[Whino]

So we get a win and a bit of rhythm and now we are mucking up our back line just to fit a turnstile who is unfit in?

Through no fault of his own Hiku wasn't match fit round 1. He struggled, got injured, spent a week out and is now ready to come back into first grade. Come on!
I don't care if he comes off the bench for 10 minutes he is not ready to return to first grade. He should be sent to reserve grade for a few weeks to get his fitness levels up and form.

I'd rather Hiku on the bench than having 4 props/middle forwards.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Dumb move. I don't know about Griffin.

 

[TheFrog]

Maybe with Cartwright out he doesn't want to risk having to use Yeo in the backs if there's an injury.

Why change what worked last week?

A winger without match fitness on the bench is useless. If we want injury cover why not have a Rein. May. Katoa or someone on the bench.

Or how about the left winger that had a great game rather than the one who had an average game.

This is a stupid move. We can cover and injury with Yeo, Whare and DWZ being able to move

Only reason is if Hiku moves into the back line, Peachey goes to 2nd row and JFH drops back to the bench... but still why move Peach?

 

[PenrithPanther45]

4 tries (only 1 converted) in the GF rematch in the U20s and Penrith lead 18-0 after 36 minutes.

 

[Fangs]

Can we confirm that Edwards played premier league?

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Can we confirm that Edwards played premier league?

Yes, he was named and played NSW Cup. They lost 16-6 to Mounties.

I suppose he could be thinking that. But Peachey is our best attacking player at centre. You dont f**k with that.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Anyone keen to have a kick. Penrith's U/20s are 1/6 and up 26-0 after 51 minutes

 

[Rhyno]

good call by video ref

 

[Rhyno]

great try gordon

 

[age.s]

f**king robbed.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Punished for our negativity of not going for the try.

Aren't we supposed to be one of the more attacking teams in the comp?

 

[Doomednow]

We didn't play particularly well but those decisions from the officials were garbage.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

I thought we were pretty poor, actually. Can't believe the commentators were trying to sell that as some great game - both teams had shit hands and gave away penalties galore, and the refs/touch judges f**ked up call after call.
