Penrith v Newcastle

Ivan thinks we do..
Assuming we want to make the top 4 we need to win more competition points between now and the end of the season. Two points tomorrow are as valuable as any others during the season.

I trust the coach and staff on this stuff. They have the advantage of the sports scientists giving advice, actually knowing the people involved and being able to talk to them and, you know, it being their actual jobs and generally being pretty successful at it.

Seems an odd decision really.

A head scratcher really

Yeah seems weird to not take the opportunity when you have it. We've hamultiple years where origin messed things up with injuries. In the end I just want to have us win the comp so hopefully it all works out.

Glad Yeo is out though.

It isn't just resting the senior guys.

The more games the likes of Smith get the better.

We actually got some luck with how the draw fell too. To play weaker sides with key guys out

That was in general.

I am talking FG. The more games now the better if we need the depth guys later

Jennings is the next centre up. Has played 2 games in the last 2 seasons.

Yeah, bloody Cleary. If only we had a master coach instead like Bellamy or Robinson who have the brains not to pick their players, including their marquee ones like Tedesco and Munster, to back up after origin.....oh wait.....

Considering the club's history with the origin period and injuries I'd say it's pretty reasonable people lean towards a more cautious approach.

I was keen to see our B side get another go. They were quite good against the Dogs.

The real concern today is not the result. Its getting through the game with no injuries for those who are backing up.
