Dogs haven't beaten us this decade. Last win 2019.

So it's got a bit of the Roosters situation about it. Sooner or later the Dogs will get us. Maybe it will be this Thursday but I'm predicting that comes later this year before the finals.

I'd rather not lose either but if I was to pick one to drop it's round 26. Same way we dropped a game against Melbourne last year round 24.

I am more optimistic about this game then I was a month ago.

Sexton will be moving on before June 30 if you believe the reports. Club has released a guy that was brought to the club 4 months ago. Things inside the Dogs club don't look good from the outside.

Let's Go!!

I wonder how many clubs haven't beaten us this decade.

Its been the most dominant 5 years pretty much any club could have in the modern era.

There was a special group to begin 2025:

Newcastle*
Roosters
Dolphins

Those three ended their streak this year. Newy did draw with us at the start of 2020 as our dynasty was starting.

Titans
Bulldogs

Those two teams haven't beaten us since 2019.

Then you have the arsey Cowboys who have managed to play us resting most our side like 25 times

Based on NSW medical correspondence with the club and feedback from Cleary and To’o themselves, Penrith are expecting both to play in the critical Thursday night clash against the Bulldogs. Neither Cleary or To’o have been sent for scans on their respective injuries.

The fact Cleary strained his adductor at the Blues captain’s run but was able to play a day later had both the star No.7 and veteran NSW medico Nathan Gibbs him to be near full-capacity with an eight-day lay-off into the Canterbury clash.

Jenkins is going well but Alamoti is the better player

Jenkins is total fire right now. After Edwards and To'o he is a shoe-in for our best backline. I wanted him to get a run at centre but his form on the wing has been irresistible.

To'o seems a bit iffy with his hammy and we need him for the run home. Alamoti is probably our closest To'o clone. I think that is his role for now. We can't really rest players but I think the injuries will force our hand soon if not this Thursday.

Competition for spots in the backline and forwards. At full strength Patea/Henry or someone else has to miss out. Great position to be in.

Come on now… see the light….. Milky is the man
Great story and he might be the option going forward capwise but I think some are forgetting how strong Alamoti started the year and what he delivered in the finals, for a young kid new to a system to be shifted around like that consistently, even mid game is crazy impressive.

Now I've been very fair to Tago and haven't given him shit in ages since he was dropped but that contract would be a great one to get off the books if Milky holds his form. Something the club should definitely consider. Perth would snap him up in a heartbeat.

Nah chuck him in the 2nd R when Garns or Soro go.
