I reckon the long studs might be the go today.

Luckily they aren't playing at Lang Park. Even more lucky that it isn't 2011.

Warm ups and a few sprint sessions.

Head of Performance would do most of his work between training sessions.

Our defence was fine last year, no different to previous seasons. The reason we conceded so many points (4th most in the NRL) was because the opposition had so much possession against us (most in the NRL).

It was our attack that was the problem.

Our attack certainly was “a” problem, but our defence was pretty ordinary as well IMO. The club obviously agreed as they hired a defensive assistant coach mid season.

Jeez the weather doesn't look the best in Sydney. How much rain has fallen there in the last 24 hours?

Penrith has only received 5mm since 9am. Central Sydney has recevied 65mm.

There is a big band of rain just south-east of Penrith that might change things.

Well the best clubs have the most coaches. It makes sense not to lump everything on the head coach.

bit of a weather reversal from Rd1 last year between the two sides, hopefully a major scoreboard reversal as well...

"Adrian Jimenez has not replaced Lachlan Wilmot who remains the NRL Head of Performance and can be seen leading the squad through specific athletic development sessions, as well as the start of field sessions."

You reckon the club would have hired Kidwell when they did if everything was hunky dory?

 

[strider]

I hope Penruff is a bit better than Redfurn

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Probably just the witches hats

Of course not. We lost staff in the off season and didn’t replace them. Ergo, we were understaffed.

The weight of the world on his shoulders.

I'm f**ken pumped! So excited for today's game. Hope we do well.

I suggest don't read

Spoiler: Prediction

Parra by 7-11 points

Ah f**k.

 

[Happy MEel]

Of course not. We lost staff in the off season and didn’t replace them. Ergo, we were understaffed.

Agreed...and this impacted on our defence, hence why we hired a defensive coach again.
