Parras starting to look ok.

You can start tooting your horn after our game tomorrow.

Reserves play beforehand. First time this year Penrith will have both grades at the same ground I believe. Should be a bumper crowd and anyone who is able-bodied will back up on Sunday. Big match.

I hope every Penrith fan who thinks Cogger would be an upgrade on Schneider is watching this game

Cogger was always very good for us..

Brads a great defender but hes deadset the worst half ive seem at penrith and that includes luke lewis at 7..

Lewis was an upgrade on Joe Williams that's for sure.

I agree. Cogger was better with the ball. Brad is normally a solid defender but last week was a shocker from him. If he isn't doing that right then it's hard to see how he keeps getting a run.

Schneider or Gutherson?

Gutho has slowed right down ball in hand. Really doesn't like throwing a pass. The other week he was a handbrake on 3 or 4 occasions when they had numbers on the left.

Bit hard last week to judge him in defence when the nights shredded us all night..

If theres one thing brad can do its defend well..he makes one on ones against bigger men all the time. Hes tough.

He is just to slow physically and sees the game a step behind an nrl half..

Hes a super league nswcup player at best.

It was a tough assignment Dylan Lucas was on a mission. He is a future rep backrower I think. If it's a dead rubber I'd look at him for Origin 3.

Schneider in attack is not a sight to see. Needs to do everything much quicker. Blaize caught a cold at times. If we run with them against NZ in a few weeks then he needs to fire it to him quicker. Or even let Blaize play more first receiver to see if he can do something different.

Off the sauce son.

You're embarrassing yourself.. almost everyone would acknowledge brads a good defender..

Ivan is the most cautious coach ever so he would never play him at 9 if he couldnt hamdle it..

Brads defence was not the problem last week... thats not to say brad wasnt a problem

The second rower ran over him like 3 times. I never said he's not a good defender I said it's the one thing he's good at and he was shit at it last week. You're not reading good tonight.

Let's be honest here.

Drags are up 18 zip here. We could only put 6 on Newcastle. I thought last week would be a 24-22 game I didn't expect 6 points against this rabble.

We had our outs but we were well rested off a bye. And its quite likely a similar team plays against the Warriors in a few weeks. If we can't put in a better showing that should see a change in direction for our top 30. Depth positions that is.
