I don’t think Penrith really worry about that at this stage
they will time their run at the right time with all their players in
Top 4 will do them

I don’t think Penrith really worry about that at this stage
Have we gotten over the fact that BH just about handles the ball on every play, and he shouldnt, maybe now we might see a different form of attack, maybe we will be hopeless who knows, but one thing for sure I wont get to see Hunt running sideways throwing hospital passes, and maybe one of our younger halves can kick the ball into the ingoal area. I just want to see something different, anything will do !!!
Was watching the Eels go round last night....what a difference watching their backline to ours......Moses, Brown, Gutho and their outside backs are so intense, creative and determined compared to our blokes.....it's like chalk and cheese tbh
Love him or hate him, Moses does what Moses does, he's a game managing controlling 7 that allows Brown to do his thing. He is the reason why Parra were shithouse without him. And for people to say that we will be shithouse without BH, well guess what we are crap with him at 7, he's not a 7 and never will be.
Our last play options have to be vastly improved from what BHunt has been delivering. No 20m restarts, no not getting to our kicks on the last or poor kicks on the last, no down the players throat, no midfield bombs..... Repeat sets, well placed attacking kicks, grubbers into the in goal, along the ground if wet, etc are a must
What you are actually seeing is not so much about intensity. It is pure speed. The Eels backline is very quick and when things are done well at speed it just looks like they are having a crack. Slow looks almost lethargic.
And pathetic !!!
Wont get an argument here
Yes I agree but the intensity comes from them playing for 80 mins
I have to disagree they are a team that's hungry for success and being the best all the time, they want to be number #1 all the time.
There is talk at Penrith that he could take Luai’s spot (although seemingly Cole has been groomed for that).
Then why did you say pre season he would be a completely different player under Flanno and that Hook was the reason he wasn't living up to potential?
Because he is a different player to before? He's improved out of sight this year. Crush isn't being a turncoat - he's pointing out a flaw in Sloan that has remained, and mentioned that he's not the only one with the same problem so you clearly don't know what that word means. Did you really think Sloan would suddenly become Billy Slater over a preseason? Hell, even some of our game's best players e.g. Nicho Hynes have tendencies to go missing - the NRL is the biggest stage in rugby league and is particularly intimidating when you have a crucial role like fullback at a young age. Some handle it better than others inherently such as Bula, whereas Sloan will get better with time and experience.
Yes, interesting progression this year. Build up over the preseason with a lot of utility players. I think a lot were thinking, hey this isn't going to work. But it seems to be going in the right direction. I think a bit like the dolphins
I would really like to see how we go. Several young guys from reserves and the future of this club is in show tonight. As I said in my earlier post the oldest in our backline is Marshke 26 years old. And Couchmans will one day be cornerstone of our forwards. Future maybe brighter if we land couple of good signings.
Keen to see how the couchmans have progressed, that’s about it.
