Tom Jenkins is coming back to the Penrith system - not Top 30 - but can be called upon if injuries etc. Not sure how all that works - maybe Blade can fill in - but told he is glad to be back.

P.S. - Pickers won their first Group 9 GF for 33 years last week, so has been a big week celebrating.

Good man.

Sounds like a development deal.

He will be the old man of the backline at 23

Speaks volumes that they ex players want to return. Peach, Laurie and now Jenkins for starters.

Maybe one day Critter.

Had a two year deal with the Knights and played in a handful of games at the start of this season before obviously falling out of favour and the Knights have salary cap issues. Tom offers further depth I guess While most likely to figure in NSW Cup.

Good man.

Pickers is the Maitland team.

Pickers is the Maitland team.

As long as he is playing football I don't mind. He isn't too bad.

Lindsay Smith has been selected to play for Australia! What a reward.

I back Mal not picking Ponga. Also back him dropping Teddy and DCE. The Aussie team needs to plan for the future.

Yeo is captain!

Smith is a massive bolter. He's been good but I didn't think Australia good.

I have seen so many quotes from non-Penrith rep team players saying how impressed they are by how professional the players are at training. Mal Meninga said that about Yeo, he tells him what to do and he knows he will do it.

I have no doubt, players from the Panthers are now getting picked because the rep selectors know they will be professional and hard working. Smith has benefited from that. Don't get me wrong he has been good this year, but I don't think a standout.

And what about Yeo. He has been made Australian Captain!!!

Yeo did just captain NSW. Jakes 7mins per game doesn't really count

Smith is underrated in defence. He looks like he's been Yeo's apprentice cutting guys and wrestling them to their back perfectly and finds his front almost every carry.
