Terepo is the type of bloke who will make a mistake, but then try to make amends with a big tackle or big run. I'm happy to have a bloke like that on the team.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

So can Fui, and we still love him.

So can Ben Smith but...Oh lol.

Nah, Peni will go hard all game, but is just prone to drop a ball or two.

That's the thing - Ben Smith will drop the ball, and then give away a penalty right away, or make a "run" for 3 or 4 metres. He does little to try to make amends for making an error.

Terepo does have hands like feet, but he gets filthy when he drops a ball and tries to make up for it with a strong carry or big hit. That's the attitude we need.

Correct. He's going to give us some good impact off the bench. He reminds me abit of a younger Fui.

I'm excited - been a fan of Terepo's for a while. He won't let us down.

It will be good to see him back in a Parra jersey, a First Grade one this time

It's been a long wait for the bloke!

Real happy for Peni spoke to him after the last home game at Parra that Wenty played and i told him i thought he turned that game when he came off the bench was against the Knights i recall.He seemed a bit down going from promising front rower to reserve for Wenty.I just said keep up the effort and good attitude and i think you will get your chance soon and then i see the team today.I cant wait to congratulate him on Saturday.

Bench doesn't equal reserve. It's a 17 man game and some props are better suited to coming of the bench.

That's why Terepo has gone from Wenty's bench to the NRL bench. The toilers that start for Wenty aren't good enough to provide any impact off the NRL team's interchange bench.

And he's still a 'promising front rower'. He's only 22 this year. How many front rowers make their NRL debut before then?

136 since 1908

Source?

 

[Noise]

Most of our front rowers did - Mannah, Lussick and Allgood (all 21 or 22)

 

[strider]

:lol:

 

[hineyrulz]

Still, 21 is stil pretty young for a front rower.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Keep up Pou.

 

[strider]

it's a new age ... if you aren't training full time with the big boys by 20 you are probably unlikely to make it ... and heaps more people debuting when very young across the park

but yes - prop/front row/middle forward/big pig is a tough position to play and youngsters need to be up to the pounding they will get

I think you will find Pou that he was a reserve for Wenty being in the Bundy Cup squad at one time.Now that is a long way off playing NRL so he has done well to come back from there.

 

[Stagger eel]

Peni has started the last 3 or so weeks and his form has been really impressive

I hope he stiffens up our flaccid defence.
I'm sure when he gets up a head of steam the opposition will be smashed wide open.

Maybe when he's done they'll erect a statue of him at the stadium.
