Saturday Windsor 1:45 Matts v Balmain., followed by Ball v Cronulla

Stumpy any injuries out of the weekends game?

 

[stumpyone]

Times been changedtBall now 12 noon. Injuries stretcher is closer to the team than me but apparently 5 or 6 having been playing injured for some weeks. Dylan Fuad ruled out in warm up last
week. See how he pulls up this week Most players have niggles apparently.

 

[Kilkenny]

Have watched most home games this season for both Matts and Ball but unfortunately will miss this weeks semi's as am heading out to Randwick races with the family.

Hopefully both will be alive in week two.

its funny penrith have this special selection team at the start of the year, but in sgball they have 11 players in the team from out of the area, fair enough you got to give country players a go,but not all of them were from country,mr cleary talks about looking after locals kids, some local boys never got a run, they had 3 coaches no excuses, mr gould should of look at what didnt work before and made more changes to who was in charge of the juniors, same old storey nothing changed.

Thats funny i just looked through the program and only found Manai Cherrington and Brendan Attwood penrith juniors that actually made the semi finals playing elsewhere and as for the following Alan Nuelisa,Peter Nay,Zac Clay,Tepai Moeroa they left penrith 3years ago chasing coin then you have guys like Jordan Grant,and harold matts players Tyrell Fuimoano and Amos Viga they were all offered the same money to stay but chose to have a change so the critisism is unwarranted and to bag the coach who isnt part of negoitiations is a bit rich and unimformed as usual....

What a game the Harold Matt's was there is a big future for some of those guys and for a team that had three major injuries to key players what a gutsy year well done and hopefully penrith show some loyalty to players and staff instead of what they have done in the past

Who were the three major injuries?

 

[Panther_Daz]

Fuad, Tiatia and Coppins.

 

[stumpyone]

Clark, May, Collins, Hala all played a number of games injured as did Fuad. I was told on Thursday May was catching one handed as he was struggling to lift his left arm. Apparently only cleared Friday night Milgate' grandfathers funeral was just last Friday he missed all training last week. Fuad was the biggest loss his defence around the ruck was a major loss. Big Ollie Clark toughed out an upper back injury. Cam Collins soldiered through a lower back problem. He was in agony after the wests game and was heavily strapped after. Soni Hala struggled with an ankle he rolled in a pothole at training before the Cronulla game. maybe resting a couple in the final comp matches would have been a good idea in hindsight, who knows. Overall the team did well the players put in and should be proud of they're achievement.

 

[Panther_Daz]

I still believe that at full strength and fully fit we were the best team in the comp.

Clark, Hala and Jennings should all be rewarded with Origin spots.

Come on guys, do you want me to start listing the injuries parramatta had (and still have) during the comp. I believe the Parramatta props put Hala & Clarke on notice re: origin spots.

By the way, does anyone know what the spectator blue was about after the game.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Clark and Hala have been great all season. They will be in the NSW team.
