With Tom Turbo injured it MAY give Nathan a chance to win the Dally M. After 12 rounds Nathan 21 Turbo 15. Turbo has played 13 games and neither Nathan or Turbo scored any points in round 12. Turbo maximum points 36 but other players could have been taking points off him and I don't think he got maximum points
when Manly played Storm. Nathan had a great game against Roosters in round 15 and also played well this week. So its still there to be won. Cody Walker only had 8 points after round 8. Interesting!!

Cody had 8 points after 12 games.

Whatever happened to Bulldogs Ogden . Injured or not fitting the Barret syndrome.

Cody has played all games bar one and given there recent form I would say he was getting high points and rightly so .I would be surprised if Walker is not the winner

What are the rules now about suspensions and Dally M awards. I seem to recall Cody being suspended for at least a game earlier this year.

 

[John Hamblin]

I don't think so .Latrell was suspended and ineligible.

I think you lose 3 points per game suspended from your final total.

They can still win I think they get docked 2 games Cleary would have won last year but got docked points

Didn’t he get docked points for his breach of Covid around his tic tok video thing.

 

[maple_69]

I believe it’s 2 games worth of suspension for play related indiscretions disqualifies you. Nath was an off field indiscretion so it was irrelevant. Latrell is out for his kicking or whatever he did.

Also boring lockdown night avoiding study.
Fun fact, we now have the second best record of all teams over the past 6 seasons. Our finals record is respectable and we have as much big game experience as any squad now considering Origin and Melbourne/Chook have lost some senior players.

also lol at Parra’s finals record. Surely Arthur has to go to get them to the next level.

Team - Reg season W/D/L (Finals W/L)
Melbourne - 121/0/31 (11/4)
Penrith - 94/1/51 (5/4)
Easts - 91/0/56 (7/3)
Souths - 84/0/62 (4/5)
Canberra - 81/1/64 (5/4)
Sharks - 81/1/64 (4/5)
Eels - 78/0/65(1/5)

Teams after this drop off a fair bit and I couldn’t be bothered. Everyone else has had at least 2 complete blow out seasons and are below 50%. Manly/Cows/Broncs probably next.

Suspended after round 4 for striking Nick Meaney. One match only, but had a contrary conduct in the same match which was a fine and doesn't count. So Walker loses 3 points.

The Storm are amazing.

I know they cheated the cap a number of years ago, but over the last 10 years they have done exactly what you would expect a top club to do int the salary cap era; lose quality players. Yet despite losing a few key pieces every year, they keep on winning. This year is amazing; losing Smith and big Tino and not even missing a beat.

They also haven’t bought a star for many years; most of the players in the squad debuted for the Storm.

A quality organisation.

Thanks for those stats. Pretty amazing really.

I understand we all crave winning a GF, but at the same it’s also just nice to win games week to week, even more so when you can actually go to the games but I guess we’ll have to wait until 2022 before we get to enjoy that.

 

[maple_69]

Absolutely. As much as it would be nice to be able to go to games these last few years, having something really positive to look forward to every weekend when there’s not much else has been nice timing.
We’re really just a premiership away from this truly being the most successful period of our clubs history and it should just be the start.

Interesting stats. We've definitely turned a corner as a club in terms of producing a regular competitive NRL level team. Rather than missing out on the finals most seasons and finishing around 9th to 12th, which had been the norm for much of Penrith's history, we've now made finals in 5 of the last 6 seasons (actually 6 of the last 8 if you want to go back even further). This is now our best era in terms of consistently good ladder positions. I know we need to win a premiership or it doesn't feel all worth it but it's still a much better era to be supporting the Panthers now than in most eras I've followed them in over the last 30+ years.

Caught the first 20mins of Matty Johns podcast on fox. It's basically he and Cooper Cronk performing oral sex on Nathan and Yeo. Good viewing imo

Plenty of ball cupping too which I thought was nice. I think I detected a bit of prostate massaging as well. I'll watch it again later while rubbing one out.
