I think it's a smoke screen of sorts the backline... Tago may be a last minute inclusion in the backs, maybe at the expense of May.

Ivan Cleary loves Tyrone May. This is wishful thinking. Im hoping for it to be a case of May dropped or atleast back go bench. But after he threw May at centre for Week 3 o finals and the grand final, i believe he would rate him ahead of Tago.

Burton couldnt get a run at centre last year but May could. Ivan just loves him.

If Parra are serious contenders they'll beat us or go very close
While Cleary is a better player than Mahoney, the importance to the team is similar. Add to that Penrith are a better performed team and you can see why Penrith are 5.5 point favourite.
The fact remains that Parra are not serious contenders, no one rates them a chance based on their September output for the past 3 seasons. They are comfortably better than the duds in the bottom 10, but not quite up to the top 2 or 3.

l'll be very surprised if Tyrone starts at 3, more likely the bench utility if he's in the 17 at all. Burton couldn't get a run at centre because he'd never played there and hadn't had an off season there. That he's picked it up so well shows his quality. I would rate May a more accomplished first grader than Tago as well. Tago is a kid with potential. It's silly to hold up our players and say this one's better or the coach prefers this one. He's the coach because presumably he's a better judge of cattle than most.

Game of the round and Ashley Klein appointed. Kidding aren't they?
In actual point of view, has has been "invisible" of late. Hardly any controversy over any of his rulings...well, not much more than the average performances which I suppose is what we all wish for.

The people's team to prevent that little twerp Moses playing for NSW. Panthers 13+
It is Moses' destiny to play only one SOO game in his career, skiing down Everest against the biggest bunch of plodders ever assembled.

Refs don't make the big calls any more. They all come from the bunker. Also the true howlers have been eliminated by the captains challenge.
