Rd.5 v SeaEagles

[Munky]

That loss was out of character for Penrith.

Discussion about Laurie has been had. But what about our choice of 18th man? We came close to activating it yesterday. It's rarely spoken about because you almost never see them used but it needs some thought.

It could be Peachey's permanent job.

Poor bench selections lose games.

The bench chosen offered no real centre/wing/hooker/second row cover.

Madness really.

I'm forever thankful to Bellamy for his 2021 prelim team selection.

Go back and read my posts mate.

Quite easy tbh.

I knew back then hed be one of our best. In fact if youd watched him come through the grades youd know.

To many people (most on this forum) see flashy and get star stuck. Critta could do flashy.

I was one way back in the day that actually watched what he did off the ball. What a fb does off the ball is way more important than with.

90% of a fbs job is off the ball. And that 90% takes huge effort.

Dyl would easily be the hardest worker every week.. forget the lame telestra tracker or vb hardest worker or whatever its called. I can guarantee that bloke covers the most meters and highest output week after week.has for years.

Saw him as a future great... yep. Feel free to find my posts. Have said it forever on here.

Dyl edwards is penrith. People froth over yeo and cleary and fish. Truth is dyl is the real mvp. He just doesn't have a shit game.. he just turns up week after week.

If im a sg ball or matts coach i get edwards in once a week.. hes the exact kinda bloke we need moving forward as a fitness coach.

Hes the kinda bloke that would run rings around and embarrass the young fellas as a 40 yo.

To many on here see flashy and think wow.... when in reality whats made penrith what is pemrith isn't the flashy... its the hardwork off the ball. No one and i mean no one, nath and yeo included do hard work like dyl.

Proof you may ask.. watch him without the ball.

I have him already top 5 panthers of all time.

Cleary
Brandy
Gowie
Yeo
Edwards

Anyone that doubted him just didn't actually watch him. They jusy watched the attack and thought yeah he cant pass or kick...

Been going in to bat for dyl for years.

Not biased, do love the bloke but just honest.

We all rate/underrate players but I wouldn't confuse your feelings for the clubs decision making.

I liked using Laurie to add some speed in the middle.

Garner showed again he can't play 80 and Martin was under done and no edge on the bench was strange

You could argue Garner could cover centre BUT you need an edge on the bench for that move to be useful.

The guy who had been edge cover, started in the middle so would of been gassed if Martin went down and he got moved

I h

According to NRL he has only reffed two, but can NRL stats be trusted? Wouldn't be the first time that NRL has stuffed up...

heard he ref 4 games last time had a major howler went back to being a side line judge only just got promoted back

Garner was one of our best......that's how bad we went

Same ref in the Souths game last weekend. Go have a look at that one. Horrible ref, needs to go back to refereeing park footy

 

[PennyPanthers81]

I don't want to blame the ref because the boys were clearly not up for it and didn't deserve the win, but Todd Smith needs to be shot into the sun. The teenage refs who do my kid's games would do a better job.

He did add some speed but he also got trampled by the Manly forwards.

He was needed yesterday due to HIAs. If we fall behind despite that he probably takes the field at lock but he won't last long defending there.

Garner centre others shift to the wing. Kenny can play middle. Otherwise nothing for hooker or second row.

No it was not. Klein and Sutton have done the Rabbitoh's games this year.

He was on with Eisenhuth and Lindsay Smith. For it to work he needs to be with the starters and stand on an edge

 

[Iamback]

Yep the only 2 worth feeding were Edwards and Garner.

I am putting it down to few guys needing a rest, Hopefully NSW Cup keep winning to keep the top squad honest

I mean with HIAs you need to make up the minutes. I'm sure the plan wasnt for Laurie to do Henry or Smith's job out there.

Edge backrow is the only possible spot in the pack. I rate him as a fullback but he isn't getting there until Dylan goes down.

 

[Frankus]

Leota seems to be pretty flat at the moment. We ideally need another middle that can bend the line. Yeo did a great job yesterday, really stood up. Think he needs to play in bursts like that when Fish and Leota aren’t on the field.

 

[Frankus]

No it was not. Klein and Sutton have done the Rabbitoh's games this year.

Ahh yes, my mistake. He was the sharks v raiders ref.

 

[murraymob]

While yes we where not great a few positives with things that went against us
Penalty’s easy to fix
We missed less tackles than them
Made more meters
They got there try of a clear knock on that turned the game
What we where down on was kicking meters Cleary can fix that
The bench can be fixed with a few twists turns
As a whole it seems a far weaker competition this year with upsets happening every weekend now

3 times this year Ivan has had 3 middles on bench for 3 losses. Wigan Melb Manly. Enough is enough.

Moses has always been like that

Such a huge variance in his play. Sometimes he is worse than plod, others he is making international front rows his bitches.

You only need to hide him in defence.

Yeo made a break he was there with Tago that is sort of thing we could use off the bench
