Sorry mate, he plays for the Cougars (Panthers first division team), and the way the draw has been structured, they don't play curtain-raisers before the Panthers games - they play on another night and at another place.
So I haven't seen the Cougars play that much this year, so I don't know how Royal has been going.
PP, the draw has been structured so that they play the same teams (majority of the time) as First grade is. And majority of the time, when first grade has a home game, so do Premier League. Unfortunately, we are have only seen the Cougars grace Penrith Stadium once this season (against Newcastle in Round 1) as they have played the remainder of their "home" games at St Marys (Western Weekender Stadium) and that'll be the same this weekend when we play Souths on Sunday - PREMIER LEAGUE ARE PLAYING ON SATURDAY AT ST MARYS - I am getting bloody annoyed that not more of the Premier League games have been played at Penrith Stadium as a curtain raiser to 1st grade - JUST CHECKED THE PANTHERS SITE AND AFTER THIS WEEKEND, THE COUGARS WILL PLAY THE MAJORITY OF "HOME" GAMES AT PENRITH UNTIL THE START OF AUGUST (Suppose I had better stop whinging now hey :lol: )
