See my reply to Gronk that answers most of this BS .

Apart from the Lumelume part everyone on here can see he isn't playing first grade again.....
You mean Hands? I think he might. But if he doesn't it means we have better players than him. We have some quality youngsters coming through, and Hands (and Asi) are the type of player to get leapfrogged by them.
No only our NSW cup story riff drop Luke from first he goes to bench as a hooker ffs not 5/8 Centre.
That's because Luke isn't a utility. He is a specialist hooker.

Yep if Lussick goes down Hands is next player up.

Why would you play your backup hooker at 5/8 when he needs to be playing and developing as a hooker .....


Just like Panthers have Luke on the Bench in CUP... I guess the riff do t know how to develop players though
Yeah but how does Hands train 5 days a week with the top 30 ?

There seems to be info missing here and merkins are sending people to the gallows based on assumptions.

Hands isn't a utility either but that's how our super coaches see him Asi Blaize utilities....

Who wants to work on their game back in cup when you can fill a hole that should not need to be filled.....

Nope but if he does he probably would do a better job than Cayless.

That's what you do to get the next job....
That's because he's a better coach than Cayless, which is why he's not coaching reserve grade. What part of this don't you understand? Do you expect Ryan Carr to take a demotion from assistant NRL coach to reserve grade? He won't do it mate. We're lucky we had him while we did.

Well you me and Pou are assuming..

I am just going on GameDay now ..

You can only learn so much at training.. apparently our players defence is great in training the only true test is game day.

Like I said Asi's defence is crap he can practice as much in training but will only get better testing himself during a game. So how do a he do that at fullback. What's the benifits to first grade?

Hands needs to work on his dummy half game can do as much as possible at training but beat way to get better is during a game. Again how does he better the first grade side as a hooker playing 6?

It was tongue-in-cheek rather than an insult.

Plus, suggesting that Cini, Lumelume and Moimoisea had their untapped talent blocked by a part time cup coach is clearly a piss take.

So, for that reason ….

That is not what I said. My claim is that they went backwards under Cayless.
Momo: Bench first grade to RM Cup. Thats backwards.

So you reckon Hands should be on the bench in reserve grade too?

No I expect a NSW cup to also be aspiring to coach cup for a few years and then want to be getting promoted to do this you actually put in effort and turn players from shit to good..not the other way around how are you not getting this?

Brian put on 15kgs since he started seeing Eric the personal trainer. Eric is a shit personal trainer. The facts are that Brian put on weight, you can't argue that fact mate.

Hands played in the halves for Penrith's reserve grade side as well. Hooker might be his best position, but he obviously lacks something or he would've played more first grade by the age of 25. Personally, I think he lacks skill and game awareness, but he is quite physical for a little bloke. His best feature is his running game, which he can do just as well from the halves as from dummy half.

That's what I have taken from these 2 so far today....
They just can't be critical of the club ever, no matter what.

And then try and gaslight you and call you not a true fan or a lesser fan. It's their tried and true go to deflect method. Rinse and repeat.
