Michael Jennings

[macavity]

not normally one to start threads on players, but this guy would have to be the, or close to the, best young centre in the game - probably along with Inu, if you class Inu as a centre (he is more FB/Wing?)

deadset star in the making.

is he a NSWelshman?

 

[lolesi]

He is, from Blacktown and has played Australian schoolboys.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Parents are both Tongan. Hopefully he plays for them in the World Cup. Then he will play NSW and Australia, if selected.

 

[fulltime]

has a long long long way to go in defense.

 

[KiWi_BoI_15]

Very explosive centre, quick off the mark. he and Inu would be my starting centres in a rookie team.

Will be a star for the Panthers and the NRL in the future.

great attacking player...professional shirt grabber in defence

 

[Panther_Daz]

His defence has improved greatly this year. He is making more tackles, and not missing that much. Last night he made 25 and missed 3.

 

[macavity]

must admit I didnt really watch him closely in defence

to be fair penrith as a whole are up there with the Knights as woeful defenders - individually and as a team.

he is still a better defender than Tighe though, im sure....

Geez Tonga looks like they'll have an awesome team for the WC, with talent like Jennings, Mateo, Moi Moi etc.

(Proud Tongan, supporting them and the Kiwis )

 

[Panther_Daz]

Every young back in the NRL has struggled at some stage this year in defence, its all apart of development. I actually think Jennings is one of the better defenders of the lot. Justin Hodges is probably the best centre in the game, but still misses a fair few tackles.

add to that Tuiaki.

 

[Shorty]

Yeah I rate him highly he'll improve at defence as he gets older.
Very exciting prospect for Penrith.

 

[yobbo84]

add to that Tuiaki.

..and Manase Manuokafoa and Fetuli Talanoa.

 

[big pat]

dont know what the schedule is, but sometime they could have tongan test team vs an emerging kangaroos team, would be a good match.

Yobbo, isn't Eddie Paea Tongan too??

 

[Mr Saab]

Last night he made 25 and missed 3.

One of those was a massive miss in the context of the game

 

[petetheileet]

im a big fan! the kid has sooo much speed off the line, he is very dangerous!

 

[mxlegend99]

One of those was a massive miss in the context of the game

He makes up for it though. He had 2 very big plays that put points on the board... he created both opportunities from nothing, and pretty much were solo efforts.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Am I the only person who wasn't totally comfortable with Jennings' try (probably)??

I just find it hard to believe he would've scored if it wasn't for the line of Panthers players walking through the Cowboys defensive line.

 

[MIGHTY PANTHER MAN]

How about his hit on Ryles in one of the earlier rounds!
That was a monster!
