[parra-matters]

Where will we finish? 5th

Best player? Moses

Biggest disappointment? Waqa Blake

The first rookie to make NRL debut? Not sure, not up to date on the juniors

Surprise packet? Hodgson

Breakout year? Hopgood

Best retention? Moses

The biggest name we let go? Waqa Blake

Biggest signing? Lomax

 

[Gary Gutful]

Its the thread stopper!

 

[parra-matters]

nearly stopped it til Gary posted...

 

[T.S Quint]

Where will we finish?
6th

If we don’t win it, who will?
Hopefully not Penrith. Or Melbourne. Or Canterbury (haha as if). Souths have been close last few years. Probably them or Roosters.

Best player?
Junior Paulo

Biggest disappointment?
Matterson had such a good season last year. I think now he's re-signed he might go backwards a bit.

The first rookie to make NRL debut?
Here's a bold statement - we won't have any rookies debut this year. What do you reckon the chances of that are?

Surprise packet?
Would it be a surprise if Hodgson plays well? I think for many it might be.

Breakout year?
Will Penisini. He will be in Origin discussions.

Best retention?
Moses.

The biggest name we let go?
Waqa Blake

Biggest signing?
I'm not expecting any huge names to be added to our roster over the course of the next season. Our biggest signing will probably be an average player who's looking for a bench spot.
Or maybe we will splash some cash and sign Zac Lomax.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Will Penisini. He will be in Origin discussions.

I didn’t think Union had a State of Origin.

 

[the phantom menace]

As in discussing how the game went, while watching it with his mates down at the pub?

Freddy will pick him to entice his best mate Suaalii to also play Origin. You may not have heard but they’re friends.

Origin has a State of the Union but.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Origin has a State of the Union but.

Thanks very Max Muchy!

 

[blue bags]

Eels time,, Panthers lost a few players

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So did we ffs

 

[Eelementary]

I don't see why Penisini being in the frame for Origin selection is so shocking - he's not even 21, has represented Tonga, and played in a Grand Final.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a centre of his age with a better resumé.

 

[Avenger]

Penisini reminds me so much of a young Matt Cooper. Great defence, hole runner and will play origin.

 

[Pazza]

they are going to put a superstar in that centre position. they dont care about specialists.

Yep, Tommy and Latrell are walk up starts if fit. While ever Hogesco is fullback.

 

[Avenger]

Tedesco is a less refined, clunky version of Billy Slater.

Do you think he is as good as Tago? Penrith fans don't. I think Penisni is more skill full amd younger. By the time he gets to his age he will be better. I rate Tago however

I reckon Tago is a gun, but I can’t see the hype surrounding Penis I I thought. I could be proved wrong by the end of the year.
