[Copperhead]

Did penrith buy him from Canberra? This is his 3rd season with us. I think he came down from Queensland.

 

[PennyPanthers81]

Flegg won 40 - 12
NSW cup up 10 nil only 15 mins gone

 

[Murraymob1]

Cup up 18 to 6 at halftime not at game seeing scores on website

 

[snickers007]

AJ Kepaoa with another hat-trick of tries.
Takes him to 11 tries so far - leading the comp in this stat by a long way.

Looked dangerous whenever he touched the ball today.

Off contract too. He is over Casey for me

 

[BossleyPanther]

At the moment:

Jersey Flegg, NSW Cup, St Marys on top of their Comps. Future is bright, couple of good signings (props) and we should be a force very quickly, maybe after Stadium build.

 

[Girds89]

Hes most certainly not even close to casey.

Casey is a deadset going to be an nrl player for the next 10 years.

Kepoa couldnt crack the wooden spoon tigers. Lets get some perspective.

If ivan doesnt have the faith to bring him up that speaks volumes.

People can hate on tago all they like but we need to get him back to his best. He offers the most off any of our backs in terms of breaking tackles and beating blokes.

Hes shown in big games he can do it. He is obviously a big confidence guy and when hes down hes down. A bit like dylan earlier in his career maybe.

But a fit firing tago is what we need.. and casey will be the starting centre for years to come.

Times are tough right now but putting in nsw cup blokes that aren't any better doesnt improve us.

Yes im all for rewarding performances but the blokes you bring in still need to be better.

Kepoa couldnt find a starting spot at the tigers... in a backline that was deadset rubbish.

Not knocking him but i think some people think blokes from nsw cup can come in and save the season. When in reality the nsw cup guys aremt any better then our nrl guys.

We really need tago back to his best asap..

Jenkins could not make Newcastle but gets plenty of cracks at first grade

 

[Girds89]

Jenkins could not make Newcastle but gets plenty of cracks at first grade

And as weve seen hes not really up to it and he had been the best performer in cup.

From my experience guys in nsw cup need to be absolutely knocking the door down and killing it every week to come into nrl and be something.

They have to demand selection showing they are way ti good for that level.

Im sure if there was a player doing that ivan would bring them in.

I watched the so called highlights from last weeks NSW 56-0 flogging of Manly / The score said it all Penrith were good but Manlys defence was disgraceful! There is clearly a huge difference between reggies and FG.

 

[maple_69]

How was Scott looked in Cup and Flegg? Would be nice to have a really quality option come through at dummy half. Kenny starting in the 9 and then slotting into the middle rotation for a more skilful booker would really help us on a few levels.

Casey needs time in Cup and after that I agree with you.

How'd sione fonua play yesterday

 

[hindy111]

And Jesse McLean. I'm suprised he didn't go pass Jenkins in the off season.

 

[Kilkenny]

How'd sione fonua play yesterday

No real highlights. OK I guess. Didn’t play the full 80 not sure what he went off with.

How about Jesse. Is he pushing for NRL?

 

[Kilkenny]

How about Jesse. Is he pushing for NRL?

No. He goes OK. Tries hard. He is only 20, but maybe not quite big enough, not particularly quick, Tom Jenkins got the jump on him and next man up would be Kepaoa so I think he is well down the pecking order here.
