Dunny Bill linked with a return to the Chooks. The strong get stronger.

They are worried about the road ahead. He's Superman if he can walk into the NRL at 35 and get up to snuff in the few weeks he'll have.

He is way past it. He was ordinary for the few games he played pre Coronavirus

He was. One game I think he dropped the ball 4 times.
I guess the only value he could add would be a 20-minute impact burst off the bench.

Not a fan. Yellow doesn't look good at all on that jersey.

Yeah I don't mind it. Based on the away strip, so I don't love it. I'm OK with the yellow, but it should blend through the orange into a deeper Penrith red at the bottom. I'd even fade the yellow into a very pale green up to the green stripe. It might look a bit Rastaman though, ha.
I can relate to silouette of the mountains and sunset. And the possum totem, yeah, every Westie has interacted with those pesky varmints.
Overall I think it will look pretty good on field.
Black shorts of course.

Black shorts of course.

In your dreams. Black shorts on white jerseys are banned these days.

Yep. All dark or all light uniforms these days

VB Hard Earned: Fisher-Harris the foundation for Penrith's success

Nathan Cleary was deservedly the hero after leading Penrith to victory against the Cowboys, but the tireless efforts of James Fisher-Harris were just as important.

The prop, who won last year's VB Hard Earned Award, produced incredible numbers in Penrith's 22-10 win on Sunday to record the highest index score of round 10 with 121.

In 66 minutes, Fisher-Harris managed to churn out 26 carries for 246 metres as well as eight decoys and four supports.

If that wasn't enough, the 24-year-old made 58 tackles (three missed) to help the Panthers reach the top of the table. He also gained the lead on the VB Hard Earned overall leaderboard, shooting up from fifth to move ahead of Payne Haas and Jake Trbojevic.

According to a news article I read the other day, Crichton, and Burton, are in deep negotiations with the club for contract extensions, hopefully, they re-sign, and re-sign soon.

Burns is a depth player and plays in a different position

Yep that's the one. Plenty of quotes from the powers to be in the article.

I have to say. What about RCG form. I can't think of a better prop at the moment. I was concerned when Parra signed him. I thought at best he will be a solid prop. But he has gone to another level. I'd say he rivals Taoumolo if consider his defensive side.

That's a stretch IMO - He's a good player, no denying that, but he'd need to show this form on a more consistent basis to be put in that category.

Not a stretch at all. This season 2020 form he is best prop going around. I'd say it's clear.

I can, and his name is James Fisher-Harris.
