You deserve to be called out for the rubbish you have written about Rhys Wesser. I can let slide your other ‘opinions’ bagging Maloney or whomever else you wish to bag at any given time but you over stepped the mark on this occasion. Not just overstepping the mark, just plain wrong and stupid. I am attacking you personally, let’s make no mistake about that, because you chose to make a personal attack on one of the greatest players ever to wear our colours.
I’ll make this concession to end this never ending argument. You are probably right about the hooker/dummy half debate. At the same time I was only ever promoting the argument our recruitment should have been to bring in a couple of decent outside backs something of which we are in short supply. On the evidence of the pre season Api is and most likely will be a significant upgrade in our dummy half stocks. Let’s end the argument but never criticise Wesser again. He is and remains one of my all time favourite players.
Na, whilst you may disagree, it was sentences that made sense. Rhyno's posts can all be summed up as... If player plays for Parramatta they shyte gold, fart perfume and piss rainbows and are semi-gods, some just gods. Every player who is not on Parra's books, is shyte, and teams who have players who came to Parra are dumb stupid clubs who suffer at the hands of newly appointed gods of Parra, in the latest interation, Waqa Blake is now automatically the best centre in the universe. Tigers can assest to this with Moses and Matterson, now obviously automatic selections for the Milky Way XIII. Any player who dare leaves Parra, automatically loses all ability and becomes one the worse players in the comp. Old mate was just pessimistic.
I've had 'dealings' with him over the years. He's nothing more than a sack cloth and ashes type of person who likes to bag the club for the sake of it. I think he believes he's a great truth teller and amusing. When Penrith do well he goes into hiding. He is a 'special type of loon'
Another video interview with To'o. I still love seeing the highlights of his somersault tries from last season! Hopefully there are a few this season as well. And one his tries shown was from Edward's one and only try assist of 2019. But at least it was a good pass, just a pity he can't manage more of them. https://www.nrl.com/news/2020/03/10/rookie-reflections-brian-too/
2005 was the only year when we beat Melbourne twice in one season! The game against Melbourne at Penrith that year was something special. And one of the highlights was Wesser pulling off a spectacular tackle on Scott Hill (from memory), who looked absolutely certain to score. He also pulled off two or three try saving tackles in the round 3 game against the Roosters in 2003, and scored a hatrick of tries in the same game. I agree. Best fullback ever
Back in 2006 Panthers named their Team of Legends. No1 is Rhys Wesser. https://www.penrithpanthers.com.au/about/history-of-the-penrith-panthers/
Kevin Dann was a front runner for Kangaroos Tour of New Zealand in 1980. He played one game for NSW and didn't see much ball. Tony Trudgett at 5/8 wouldn't pass the ball!!!
