It's not too often I don't agree with you, but not sure how you don't rate his 2014-2018 form. Hook stifled him by not playing him properly, but he won us a few games on his own in that period.
That was the Moylan and Sowie show
I still love that chubby cheeked little f**ker.
I remember there was a time when under Hook our attack was absolute garbage inside 20 but our defence fairly good and kept us in the 8. Wall retired and the defence got soft straight after but before that we were fairly regularly holding teams to around 3 tries. It doesn't make sense that Peach was always as bad as you're making him out to be if we held teams to low scores fairly with him in the team for years. If he was this awful player you're making him to be teams would have exploited him for so many points that we wouldn't have continently made the 8 and Peach would have to have been dropped. Try to think about things rationally.

(edit) He was better the first time he was at Penrith and it isn't even close. His defence at centre was way worse after bulking up at other clubs to play in forwards and with how much stronger and faster edge players are now compared to 5 or 6 years ago, he a lost a bit of speed and didn't get it back. The same problems he has now were there last year to a large extent, the team just covered for it better because we were a stronger team or rather had better depth. I don't know what you've been watching man. When he was quicker and younger he was better in defence as is natural not that he amazing in defence or anything.
