    Ex Tooheys Marketing here. If they were gonna do one it would have been out the week after, joints a shambles at the moment unfortunately. Love the modern 03 jersey. Love that our main jersey is bang on now and I can appreciate this for what it is. Any word on whether our 22 Alt will become our...

    Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

    Where exactly is he going to get a bigger role though? He’s super average in our water tight system. Im just not sure what team you could slot him into and expect anything decent, particularly as a centre/five eighth.

    Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

    Loved the guy and hope he does well but if it frees up a hundred or two in cap while we’re not impacted by depth (Turuva/Jenkins) then it’s a great deal. Anything we get out of Peach is cream,3 if he can fire up, he could upgrade the team via the Salmon role.

    Season "23 bolters.

    I’m on Jenkins. Tipping Critta to sign elsewhere for 24 and the club to fast track Tago into the pack, initially on the bench in the Salmon role, save blooding a completely fresh centre pairing in 2024. Hopefully Lisati or Smith get a decent look as well.

    I think it’s really hard to say what Nathan’s true potential is because he’s playing in an Ivan Cleary structure. It’s stodgy, defence and percentage oriented. Ivans found a way to make that work at a massively elite level and Nathan with his work ethic, attention to detail and calm head...

    2022 Grand Final. Penrith v Parramatta

    I’d thought until a month ago that we’d probably fall back to the group of teams chasing us and be in a real dog fight for the title again next year without Api (mostly) and Kikau. The way they just swanned through the finals and the whole season, really highlighted how far ahead we are as a...

    Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

    To’o is number one for me. I doubt we keep both he and Crichton and he’s who I would choose. More fundamental to our play style and seems to be a very good bloke. Martin next due to depth at edge. Leniu is a freak and it’d be a similar situation to Burton where opposition fans laugh at us...

    Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

    Martin made more tackles than anyone else in the Origin series. He didn’t shy away from the action, his role was tacklebot and he did it. He’s been streaky throughout his career, it’s be great if he can become more consistent as he hits his prime but as others have said, this year he peaked at...

    2022 Grand Final. Penrith v Parramatta

    If you look at hardware we are surely starting to approach the great teams, Dragons aside. One more in the next couple years and we are undoubtedly ahead of those champion Brisbane and Canberra sides and arguably in the conversation with Parra and Manly on the strength of our unparalleled win...

    2022 GF | PREMIERS - Penrith 28-12 Parramatta @ Accor

    Both teams playing in their alternates.

    Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

    My preference from what I’ve seen of each of the guys so far is to start Hosking and Martin next year, both steely meat and two veg guys that will ensure our edge defence is as good as this year. I’d be keen to see Tago on the bench to start in the Salmon position to see how he handles it. If...

    2022 Grand Final. Penrith v Parramatta

    Bay 120. Think I’m amongst the Parra bays but got them the day tickets were released a month back so it’ll certainly be a rowdy night!

    Penrith Panthers Jersey Flegg/NSW Cup 2022 Discussion Thread

    I liked the look of our bench prop, Tuia, in Flegg as well, every run had impact. Odd that Smith wasn’t sighted in the second half, Scott’s service was pretty slow.

    Penrith v Souths Preliminary Final

    Short of anything going wrong, we just need to ignore what Souths are doing and play our game. They’re a team that struggles against strong packs, with a few forwards out/busted, one that struggles with ball control playing in the wet more than likely and against a team that will give them...

    Is H. Puru injured? Wouldn’t think he’d be held out for Cup.

    QF 1 VS Parramatta

    Those are not reserve grade stats from Staines. Those are first grade stats that clearly show he has performed at a level equal across this year to what May has dished up over the past 2 months. 100% like for like. Running stats only obviously, there’s many other parts of the game, defensive...

    QF 1 VS Parramatta

    May has hit somewhat of a wall late this season. He’s not playing bad but he’s not at the level he was in the first half of the year. Here’s some stats that suggest Staines will not in fact be a step down from what we’ve been getting from May coming out of trouble the last few months at all...

    Do you care who we face in the prelim?

    Souths pack has no hope against ours. They were getting routed by the Chooks until the game completely melted down. They were routed by us up front without Fish and Nath’s kicking game a month back. They only stuck in that game by countering our edges which were weaker without regular halves...

    Other games

    Souths and Roosters are not making it past a prelim. Sharks and Cows don’t have the defence against top sides. Raiders are a genuine smokey at this stage but we handled them without our rep halves a month back. Parra are still the biggest threat. I’m not sure this generation of Eels side will...

    Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

    Sam Williams is definitely the pick of the remaining guys off contract if we want an experienced back up to go with Cole and Puru. Still nothing on Falls.
