Round 10 vs. Canterbury Bulldogs @Bluebet

[betcats]

Just happy to get through that with the 2 points. Given the hammy and the rain it was never going to be pretty.

I liked the look of Cole. For his first real NRL involvement I thought he did well. Made his tackles, including a good one on Burton (I think) put in a good kick or two as well. Can't ask for much more from the kid.

Was solid defensively I think that might get him the nod over Laurie next week who is at this stage a bigger threat with the ball.

Also the garner Luai combo is building everyweek. I think we need that to keep going as the left side attack isn’t great

 

[PennyPanthers81]

Resign Garns asap. He's building great.

He's a good first grader. I have no idea how people don't rate him

 

[Panther Pete]

Garner is really growing on me , seems to be getting better each week. As usual Dyl was a superstar and thought that for the most part the ref had a good game.

It is more the balance of the side. If they finally move Sorro to prop it works. Him getting the 25 mins that Mav gets doesn't work

Mav continues to show he's only got so far on his name unfortunately

Yep. To be fair Garner in that role would be the same.

Garner can actually fill in at centre. I can't see how Mav would

Yeah but he runs good lines only.

the bench needs a centre/edge forward that runs hard or has great Leg speed

 

[Girds89]

Heard a story bout Edwards tonight

From family close friend whose next door neighbour to assistant coach for blacktown workers eagles.

So very reliable

Said he saw dyl less than 1 week after last years gf win.. running sprints by himself back forth at the local park hammering himself on his own.

Nothing to do with the win tonight but, man...

Hes up there with all time greats for penrith.

Cleary will no doubt end up 1.

Yeo will be 2nd.

The way edwards is going hes in a dog fight to knock brandy and gowie off for 3 imo

Yeo is infront of everyone at this point

 

[Kilkenny]

Another two points, job done I guess.

The Nathan situation is a massive concern.

Reminds me of the stories people would tell of Michael Jordan. The true greats have a dedication that borders on psychotic.

 

[maple_69]

I think those are the types of stories that start to explain this era of dominance. Nathan is wired similarly. They’re not the most talented but there is simply no way you just continually keep coming back to the trough hungry for more if you’re not wired very differently. We’ve prioritised guys who are just psychotic competitors and it turns out it trumps raw talent most of the time.

 

[maple_69]

On the game, probably went as you’d expect. Dogs hung in there but didn’t take their chances. Kicking in that first half was the difference and got us on top. Luai’s kicking was pretty good, it’s come along.

If Nath is out for a bit I think we should try a Luai/Cole combo. We’ve seen what Schneider has and he’s solid/fine so why not see where Cole is at with a decent few games to warm into it before going back to Cup to work on some stuff. Wouldn’t mind Toelau getting a few games in the 14 while we’re at it.

 

[The Realist]

May needs to revert into an around the legs tackler close to the line. His up high method gifted the Dogs two tries.

What? May was no where near that 1st try. That was Alamoti’s miss on Burton. He drifted just a little to close to the wing that have Burton that slight space to step through.

His defence needs work.

 

[MugaB]

It would be a good time for another rep level forward apart from Yeo to f**king rip in

Why ahead of the game, and don't play finals till September, why have another few more sorro's on the injury list, Martin went off last 10 mins, Fish and Moses did their normal stuff, not sure what more you wanted

BTW May played really well up against probably the best centre in the game, if critta isn't picked for origin madge had rox n his head, he was breaking thru 1st attempts and also sliding out 2nd for extra metres, dogs bought a champ

Grace be to Yeoweh!!!!

Not saying I want the whole side red lining but Yeo is doing an extraordinary amount of work while others are coasting

I just put that 1st try down to that side being inexperienced together.

Martin and Cleary were off.
Alamoti 1st game and on his non preferred side

We did well to only concede the 1 try in those circumstances
