It’s fine mate. You just keep battling on, it makes for some interesting viewing.

Your argument that it's not an easier job to not have to take hit ups and play behind the best kicking game in the comp is really is wild.
I'm not saying our props aren't good players, I'm saying it's just far easier to only have to tackle.

They don’t just tackle, this is what you’re failing to recognise. They beat the shit out of teams, for long periods.

This in turn makes it easier for our back three to get quick play the balls and field position.

if that was easy, every one do it.

Everyone is trying to do it but they don't have To'o or Dyl........you are almost joining the dots! Come on Lukey!

Always battling

So let’s agree, our back 3 make our metres and our middles beat the shit out of teams. Penriths game plan seems so simple, yet no one can go with us.

Yep, throw in fast play the balls and keeping the ball in play and that’s about it.

What I think is most amazing about our defensive displays over the past five years (and this goes for Martin and Kenny as well as the front rowers) is that they hit so hard and smash players, but give away so few penalties and rarely get sin binned/suspended.

 

[Fangs]

Jody Gall and Sitaleki Akauola IMO.

Check out the stat's on each of our pack, no one under 90% tackle efficiency, yeo is on 98%, that's f**kn unbelievable,
let that sink in league fans,
defence wins premierships, those who want flair can settle for mediocrity at the mid table, and maybe make the 8

We don't want or need flair from our middles. They just tackle.

We'll apart from Yeo

Ben Ross, Nobby Clarke and Joel Clinton were all fine players. Petero delivered workmanlike solid performances, but he was a shadow of the rep player he was at the Broncos when he played for us. The rumours about his negative impact on team culture are hard to ignore.

I love Martin Lang and Paul Dunn and they stand out from the other props. They were excellent warriors for us. The trouble is, they only did it briefly. The body of work laid down by Moses and Fish was built over five years. Five years of sustained toughness and defence the likes of Dunn and Lang could only dream of.

To be honest, if any of our other props in their prime were packed down against Moses and Fish, they would come off second best by a long way. I include Petero in that. He was more of a KPI guy in the mould of Hass. Our boys are warriors to the core. No retreat, no surrender. I am really going to miss Fish. Sob....

I wasn't talking just about our middles

 

[JJ]

Hard to argue with the current two, but Dunn imo was a great forward

also, Kelly, Dunn, and Mortimer as I recall were incredibly influential in supporting the younger players in 89-91 as to what a winning team /culture looks like… now of course that comes from within, and Gould part of both

Clarke was hugely underrated too, and Barry Walker who filled in in the middle or the back row , including in the 91 grand final

No latimore in the mix .he made the local pie man a fortune in his time at Penrith

 

[Black Panther]

Pretty ridiculous in my opinion to have Lang near our best Props. He was a kamikaze style forward but not much ball skill really. I’d have 3 or 4 in front of him easily. Can’t deny his toughness though.

He did get a try assist once. I think he was more shocked than anyone.

Prop that have those silky skills,hey? Is this why you like takagi?, the silky ball skills?
Probably the worst attribute you'd want a prop to have, tuck the ball under you arm and run straight FFS
