Rd23 2023: Non Parra games

Probably help us if ponys beat cows?

We best Penrith when they where playing garbage. Tigers also best them not long after. They'd randomly us in a game that matters to them like they did in the grand final. The scoreline didn't reflect the game. 40 - 0 was more appropriate. Over in 15.

Townsville effect. We matched them in the first final until we lost Moses.

Ok

They probably should win anyway, and we need all the help we can get.

Knights probably beating the Dolphins later will keep us behind them, and I think a draw between Souths and Sharks would keep us of climbing into the 8 even if we win?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I reckon we had to do that to a few when no one was resigning back end of 2021

Could argue also are our halves worth what has been reported, or is it overs also to secure them?

We’ll never know how much they’re each getting paid. We can only compare the squad to others. We have a good squad, definitely top eight, but we’re not as good as Panthers/Broncos/Storm.

Didn't realise Nicho Hynes was 27yo already... I hadn't really noticed him until the last year or two, and assumed he was much younger/had more of a career in front of him.

Cows sign Valemei, we sign LumeLume.
Sliding doors?
Na!

Late bloomer, but still a fair 10+ year career

Signed to the sharks till end of 2029, joined 2022

Played 3 years at Storm previously, joined 2019

The Broncos would have to have a very very off day for us to get close to them next week.

Im sure Reynolds will be ok to go next week.

It was a small sample. Prior to leaving Wests, Cleary had a losing record for his career, and he only got above 55% this year.

He had a 50% win rate at the Warriors, taking them to their second Grand Final appearance.

His stints at Penrith (not sure why), and the Tigers (well, I mean...it's the Tigers...) were poor, but then he returned to Penrith, and the rest of history.

I think he's shown he's as good a coach as any.

Greg Marzhew is getting a bath on the wing 3 tries against him so far..

Valemei is top 30 while Lumelume isn't: https://www.nrl.com/news/2023/01/01...ings-news-details-contracts-signings-updates/

He has, but only since returning to Penrith. So what changed?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

ffs give it to Best. I need him to score for my multi to get up

Tbh, I don't know.

No doubt he benefited hugely from Penrith's investment in their juniors.

Ese ese just killed Wayne with that dumb play

It's as if he's a typical footballer.

That was the feeling in this thread from 2019. They just needed someone to get the best out of the very expensive junior development program: https://forums.leagueunlimited.com/...ett-as-coach-we-opted-for-ivan-cleary.474908/

I reckon this could well be a blowout either way, neither of these sides have put up much of late.
