Penrith Panthers Jersey Flegg/NSW Cup 2022 Discussion Thread

Congrats to Isaiah Iongi who bypassed SG Ball to be named in the QLD U19 squad.

He's a real goer, a bit like Ruben Cotter.

Also I watched a replay of the semi final of the SG Ball game against the Raiders. Our prop King who missed the gf made a real impact in the finals game with the ball. He's got a bit of potential, in the big destructive front rower mould.

Why is there a bye for 10 clubs and only 1 game played this week?

Magic Round in QLD.

Apparently you need 24 players in an NRL squad to be present on game day in case of late COVID cases.

Means 7 NSW Cup players have to go to QLD to sit and watch the game, leaving clubs short.

He has played a few Flegg games.

The other prop Sagaga I think is better but certainly talent there.
Good to see an edge get player of the year. Finally a position FG is short in

Think the player you mean who is a real goer is Del Wigmore. Either way hope Del and Isaiah make the final QLD U19 side.

I see our JF boys got thumped by the table topping Roosters side Which obviously is a disappointing result.

Defence is too poor.

Just biding time until the Ball guys come into the side

Every 3 years or so we get junior prem winning side. Just had one in Burton's group and have one coming through who just won SG Ball. In-between that we usually make the finals and do respectably.

I guess a tough loss will be good for this age group to address their weaknesses at training. Perhaps the wet weather was also an issue.

Just something about our win over the bears in Cup. The bears scored 3 tries and we score 2 yet we won 17-12. All the tries we let in were on the edges with two right in the corner. Sometimes the opposition kicks them all and you lose by one anyway but that defence to push their tries to the edges gives you a chance of luck. You make your own luck through your own effort.

Here's our last few Flegg scores before the Chooks game. 64-16 (win), 36-16(win), 40-12(win), (bye), 34-10(loss).

Perhaps the Raiders thrashing/winning despite conceding plenty against the Eels gave the boys a false sense of how hard it was going to be winning against good teams.

I have watched most games. They seem to
Clock off for periods. Early on were winning from behind.

Even when scored 60 Raiders were up 10-4.
Eels a huge lead got worn down

That should improve as the year moves on

 

[forby]

The cup game was actually 3 tries each.

Ok but my general point about winning some games off the back of those things remains.

 

[Kilkenny]

Looks like another loss for JF.

Are they being affected by origin, with some kids brought up to cup ?

My question was answered in the match report.

Second-half comeback falls short for young Panthers

Penrith Panthers have suffered a third-straight defeat in the Jersey Flegg Cup, going down 28-18 to the Canberra Raiders in the nation’s capital.

NSW Cup: Staines named at fullback and Turuva in the centers.
Anyone understand the thinking in this?
Are they looking at brining Turuva in as a center for 1st grade?
Geyer in the starting side.

Don’t know but were getting a touch up.

NSW Cup flogged as well Bit of a concern. Thought we had a decent side on paper but the final score line not to flattering.
