Penrith v The Saddle Club

[Crashtest]

Ivan from the beginning thought he was a middle too. Bringing in Garner fixes that spot.

If you go back and read what Ivan said about Martin the first game he moved him to 2nd row to cover injury, you will realise why Martin has played 2nd row ever since.

Even if we sign Garner for next season, it will be to cover for Kikau leaving, not to move Martin to the middle.

I will bet you $100 that Martin is still starting at 2nd row in game 1 next season.

If Garner is to replace Kiks then 2023 will be a disappointing year

You think Martin will replace Kikau?

Kikau has his flaws, he has never been perfect, I understand why we were not prepared to pay whatever deal he got with the Dogs. At the same time, he is going to be very, very hard to replace whether from within or by attempting to recruit from elsewhere. Luke Garner is certainly not a like for like replacement and even if our brains trust are looking to recruit Garner, in no hemisphere, stratosphere or any other sphere is he a like for like replacement for Kikau.

Tell me I'm crazy but I see Mavrick Geyer as a type of replacement for Kiks. Yep he is raw, but all the ingrediants are there.

I can see MG getting limited minutes off the bench in 2023 as an impact player.

Your not crazy at all. It’s about why we are a development club.

Geyer, Riki, Lisati, there are probably others don’t see a lot of upside in Garner but what would I know. Riki seems to me to be worth persevering with he looked good on the weekend.

I like the new MG but personally think we need to give him an upgrade; at least enough to be able to buy a pair of shorts that fit.

It’s kinda hard to find athletic wide running back rowers who are 115kgs. Plenty back rowers in the 100-105 kg variety just not as many who are as a big and threatening as Kikau. He is going to be hard to replace.

I'm quite happy with the shorts at this moment.

Gotta give the fans what they want!!

No not at all. Martin is the current RHS edge forward, Kikau is the LHS edge forward.

I expect Martin to keep his RHS edge spot next season, it’s the LHS we need to replace once Kikau is gone.

 

[Iamback]

Mav and all of those guys will take time.

need a couple of stop gap players

Too many others to recruit.

Kiks replacement is at the club. Like when he came into grade. Will take time

Rod the Mod has about 15 years on Alice I would estimate. Fathered his first child in the very early 60s.

The sad thing (at my age) is can easily remember when Adamson bros (who played for Penrith in the late 1990's and early 2000's father John playing centre for Taree Old Bar during the early 1970's

Also when you realise that your older brother went to high school with Danny Buderus's father Gus.



Thank you for suggesting elder sister. You are far too kind.

Age is relative. Some are old at 30. Others are young at 95. It's not about physical age, or appearance.

It's about your thought processes.

Me, I refuse to act my age. One of the many reasons that I got into Early Childhood Teaching.
