I don't know how to fix things honestly. Quicker service at hooker and less mistakes from experienced players would be nice.

We are really low on quality options.

Move Martin to the left edge. Drop Sorrensen.

Maybe even play Garner at left centre.

Kepaoa instead of milky.

Huth on the bench.

Gosh we are f**ked….

Discipline lost us that match against Manly. Handling and some really loose effort in defence meant we were eternally parked in our half.

I'd like To'o/Jenkins if he can make it back. Otherwise I don't see any useful changes to make. We don't have a Kenny mk2 in our top 30. Patea for impact off the bench maybe but its not helping our lazy defence.

Unless Ivan has a rabbit to pull out of his hat or the senior players suddenly decide to give a shit this is going to be a beat down.

Casey and Blaize together is a problem but the year is already gone and if they club is set on those 2 for the future then may as well just continue to play them.

100%. I don't even care if it's the same roster I just want to see this goat coach find some improvement in performance.

Discipline cost us dearly in the first half I can agree with, every time we were set to get into the grind and build pressure we gave away a penalty. I think we were just outplayed, especially in the last 20 minutes of the 2nd half. They too their chances. We didn’t. Credit to Manly, they played well.

Hot take Sorenson needs to be replaced by garner. He's a bit slower now with inexperienced players around him garner would hold the edge together a little better.
Oh boy…Chins has Tago, mx has Schneider. Take a guess about this little wood duck….

It pains me to say this but he most certainly has more upside than what Sorro is offering.

I think Sorenson would be alright in the middle off the bench he's still good but he looks to have slowed a little so that lateral movement in defence isn't like what garner can offer as an example which is made worse by inexperienced defenders in Casey (<especially raw) and Talagi.

2025 Sorro is a bench prop. Glad... well glad is the wrong word but it seems everyone is finally catching up with all my predictions about players

There isnt going to be a miracle change of form and the side isnt just going to click into gear.
2024 I recall plenty on here in finals suggesting Ivan was just foxing and the real Penrith showed up.
Disagree. It was signs the squad was losing interest but come finals had the motivation to win it.
Take out Turuava,JFH and Luai and the loss of even more motivation and this sides cooked for mine. Id be syprised if they made finals tbh.
Attacks terrible forwards are soft and to work men like no real strike in backline.
Cleary has zero to work with.And even his forms been off

Kepaoa should have been in 3-4 weeks ago. Casey is still a baby he really needs time in Cup, His body needs building. You know what's funny, They took an age to put Luai in 1st grade and they throw this kid in.

By the time the stadium is built I doubt we would have all of the players we built on (Nath, Yeo, Dyl, Brian, etc)

Recruitment needs to plug some massive holes.

The most disappointing player so far is Marto. Representative star and hasn't fired a shot for his club in 2025. It's time to fire up merkin

Yesterday was his last 2 regular seasons to a tee. A couple of decent runs early and then not seen again for the remainder of the game. Get him in the middle.

Edwards and Yeo may be a bit off their games but they leave absolutely nothing in the tank every game.

Marto is the type who should be man of the match or get sent off trying. Time to put him at prop, need to get something out of him
