If it goes pitch black at penrith, it's because toka Likiliki has blocked the sun. Absolutely massive unit

:lol: Pretty much.

Love the coverage of the NSW Cup so far. Makes it feel much more important and far from the park footy it has been. Only wish the crowds would bother showing up, even for the NYC.

Yeo will be playing firsts. Robert Jennings is playing in his centre spot for reserve grade. Very excited to see him play, hasn't even played Under 20's yet.

The strategy of giving away tons of penalties doesn't seem to be working for the Panthers.

Maybe. But so far I picked Souths (big shock I know) and the Broncos. Both were outsiders. I got both right. I'm on a white hot streak.

Gee I am 2 from 2 as well guess that means I am on a white hot streak as well

 

[BunniesMan]

You are indeed!

Great pass from Nathan Smith. Penrith if anything have a lot of depth.

I thought the room was moving but it was just Likilili going for a light jog.

2 from 2 was the easy part. being 4 from 4 will be harder. i have knights and manly but not confident. 2 hardest to pick all weekend. couldn't believe roosters were faves this early in the year with the rule changes quickening up the game.

 

[typicalfan]

Manly should win comfortably. Melbourne will need to be sensational to knock them off.

Robert Jennings looks good. So powerful and he's still pretty slim being a tall 17 year old. No wonder he is rated as the best of the Jennings. Once his body fills out he will be an animal.

Honestly the reserves have disappointed me so far. I expected an easy win and they're making so many first tackle errors and being penalised so often its a shock they're even level. Kev Naiqama has turned to shit since coming to Penrith. He alone should have had us ontop with the player he was at the Knights. Wes must have turned himto shit.

 

[mxlegend99]

Knights 2 tries that were a load of crap. First off a 2m forward pass. The last from a knock on.

 

[typicalfan]

Knights have a decent reserves side. A lot of experience like Penrith.

 

[Noname36]

wtf has happened to Mantellato's goal kicking this year? Hopefully Gids/Roberts aren't using the same kicking coach.

Yep. Too many penalties and dropped ball means it doesn't matter what level the individual players are, the game will be gone. No go forward today to give the backs any space, and no inspiration in the halves. Disappointing.

 

[mxlegend99]

Anyone know the penalty count in this game?

 

[Tommy Smith]

I tuned in to watch DWZ ... but I'll give the kid the BotD and just pretend I never saw this woeful game.

God help the quality of the NRL if we ever expand to 18 teams.

 

[Swarzey]

Really happy with Minto's performance. Nothing spectacular but it's obvious he's been steering the side all game and composing most attacking plays.

 

[mxlegend99]

Kev doesnt even look good in NSW Cup for us. His talent has disappeared completely. Sadly too, as he was potentially our best signing. So far he looks like a dud though.

It's puzzling, but all I can assume is that whatever Bennett coached into him, cleary has coached out
