Round 9 vs Tigers - Bathurst

[Iamback]

Cole would have been awesome to cover Tago. Good experience for next year. Club doesn't learn. And yes it is 2004 vibes.

Needs more time playing against men. He'd be ok for 20 mins or so off the bench but not starting

 

[Chins get the wins]

Peachey passes even less than Tago. This is a very poor decision

 

[Iamback]

McLean or Cole would be worth a look. It's only until Tago is back, so not like it's going to be a permanent move. Gives them a taste and something to strive for when they go back to cup.

Cole has moved to 6. I presume to be cover for if Luai plays Origin.
McLean is still SG Ball age and hasn't been in centre for long. I'd replace To'o with him for Origin cover

Both should get games later in the year. We have our byes fairly early so the plan would be to rest guys.

Hopefully NSW Cup can find some consistency over the next 10 weeks and it makes it a no brainer to bring these guys in

He has sent Jenkins over a few times. Atleast he has been playing centre

 

[martielang]

Peach is still a capable footballer/replacement centre. Umina is just being more dramatic than my wife ffs. I didn't even know that was possible.

 

[Chins get the wins]

I don't think many of you have watched Peachey's post Penrith career. Even when he was here the first time in his prime he was very hit and miss.

 

[Exsilium]

He's the only first grade 7 at the club. Without him we won't win

Luai at halfback with just about anyone at five-eight will do the job.

Salmon, Falls, Peachey etc could fill in.

If NC is nursing, we need to keep him fit for the latter end of the season. That being said, Groin complains are more about feel than the need to sit someone out.

I suspect its a hyperextension type complaint. Something that settles over time.

Most here don't watch non Penrith games I'd wager.

options are limited though

So he is less progressed than when Burton, Crichton or Tago started in NRL?

well all were eased into FG. All off the bench that is how Ivan likes to do it

 

[Exsilium]

Ivan kissed on the dick again being forced into the right move. Lets see what Cole has baby!

What about Jenkins? Surely he's next up?

Depends is Turuva plays I guess

Depth will be tested for sure. Glad its against the Tigers and not a top four side.

As long as Peach makes his tackles, I don’t care how he goes in attack. We will find the points.

Not to mention our NSW Cup side isn't exactly setting the world on fire.

 

[Kilkenny]

If Peach actually plays centre then Jenkins should ask for a release immediately.

I can’t remember the last time Jenkins played in the centres, he has been playing on the wing in NSW Cup for some time now.

 

[Kilkenny]

The kids aren't ready yet. Maybe Jenkins but I don't think Turuva will play so he still gets a go.

All our FG ready depth went elsewhere so it is makeshift guys for now.

I’ve watched a bit of NSW Cup this year and neither Cole or McLean has shown enough to suggest they are ready for NRL.

My thoughts exactly. Both are talented and long term options but are very young still

Yep nailed it
