Round 5 vs the Raiders

[soc123_au]

Spencer Leniu has ran for 200 metres, in just 25 minutes of playing time. My God that is awesome.

Against one of the best packs in the comp makes it even more impressive.

His performance against the Sea Eagles, was way below his standards. He has more than made up for it. James Tamou and James Fisher-Harris, has taught him well.

Ivan has actually been trying a fair bit this year particularly with the forward rotation. Martin alone has come onto both edges and the middle, Kikau’s spell has moved around, our halves are combining more, left edge popping up infield. Now is the time to do stuff, not in the grand final. See what we have with all these edge blokes and get it settled after Origin. Worst case we know if we need a try at an important point we can drop Critta to fullback for a right side shift and he’ll be probably throw a better pass than Edwards for example.

For all the praise Hodgson gets, his miss on Leniu for his line break was pretty crap. Kenny might not make as much happen with the ball but he doesn't miss many like that.

i don’t get all the Crichton hate. Last week was his first full game at fullback since high school, so it will take time to perfect the position in first grade. Plus he is only 20 and played only 30 games, so still developing his game and is going to go through form slumps like a lot of young players do.

His talent and potential make it all worth it though, and we just need to show faith and confidence in him so he is soon playing well like last season.

Critta did well last night to come back from his early mistakes. The huddle after the try being score, it started when Crocker pushed and shoved Martin after Staines's try.

Anyone who think CHN would be welcomed back at Penrith watch the after game hugs. He was basically snubbed by the Penrith players, small hugs move on, all is not forgotten......bridges burnt.

Yep that was poor from Hodgson and whitehead. Kenny has been awesome 50 tackles 1 miss on nrl.com stats, flanno and ennis were giving him big praise last night. He seems to be getting better also as he gets a few games back to back.

I thought Corey left the Panthers on good terms?

Shame it's only a fine.

Disgusting that you want a Penrith player suspended.

I don't believe he did. In the wake of the sex scandal it was 'suggested' that Corey leaked the videos. It was unable to be proven.

That's where the angst was.

It's also not the kind of thing you should get suspended for. It was unsportsmanlike and not something I enjoy seeing from a Panther, but no one was hurt. It was handbags at 20 paces mostly. A fine is the right punishment.

Perhaps a small chat about getting over-excited and pulling opposition players into the huddle was not a great idea.

A rookie error.

Yeah I forgot about that.

Critta put his arm around a bloke and grabbed his shirt what is he even getting cited for? And suspended??? Lol why would he be suspended?! That is ridiculous.

If what critta did deserves a fine then guys like latrell Mitchell, Munster, cody walker etc should get fined every game. The game is so much better when you have some feeling in it.

 

[martielang]

Not enough chat about Momos flick pass for Staines 2nd. Absolute belter.

What's disgusting is using Kikau and Luai for a big pay day then playing like a bum for the club I love.

I said suspended to get him out of fullback. I don't have any f*cks to give about the push and shove.

This is getting ridiculous. He has not been playing like a bum.

People holding his pay day against him is disgusting imo pull ya heads in. He’s a young bloke trying to set up his family you are a moron if you wouldn’t do the same.

Umina gave it high praise. I think that's all that needs to be said given context.

Quote me where I said it was wrong to chase more money.

It's a performance based industry and he's been trash at fullback and quiet at best at centre. Players will always be judged on pay Vs performance because that's what they are suppose to be worth in terms of skill and contribution to the team.

People keep calling for Momirovski to be dropped so him and Burton can play centre when Momirovski has out played him so far.

Eh, I see where you're coming from, but Tapine wasn't on the field. You shouldn't be involving the bench in that kind of stuff.

That said, I agree it's hardly a big deal. A suspension would be an insane punishment.
