We know most of these Penrith players are ordinary because of how they go when they leave. Kikau, Burton, Koroisau, Naden, Staines, Capewell. All plodders. Martin knew it too, as did the other clubs, which is why nobody wanted to pay the big bucks he was after. They look better at Penrith because they usually dominate possession and are rarely under pressure.

As long as Penrith have the core group of Edwards, To’o, Cleary, Leota, JFH, Martin and Yeo they can continue to implement their game plan by filling the rest of the team with role players who just need to do their jobs.

Tbf the Penrith players turn to absolute plodders when origin comes around.

Is it coaching, motivation, jersey, Origin is a different beast they can't handle.

Like how can you explain one of the greatest teams in the state of origin era that have produced the core of the NSW side to win 1 series out of 4 years during there premiership dominance.

Come on man. Why bag these players at origin level. There are still other players around them from other clubs.

qld just does origin better. It’s been that way since the 80’s. Why would a few Penrith players change that?

Why do you include such sh*t and illogical statements in your posts? Is it just to seek attention and responses that you're no longer getting elsewhere in life...?

Edwards and To’o provide the go forward, JFH and Yeo provide the middle defence. Cleary kicks. Everyone else just makes sure they don’t drop the ball, and when the opposition are gassed they all line up to run the ball at isolated defenders.

They do. It really just shows the weakness of their opposition at club level. If you’ve got a solid plodder running at reserve graders often enough (and not having to make too many tackles), over 20+ games he’ll look like a star.

Nice try.

I'm not even part of this frenzy. I just see plenty of times that when there's blood in the water, people who dare question get set upon. I mean MJC ? Even in the past Uncle Pete has copped it. Someone even claimed Pou was not mentally all there ? What because he thinks about footy differently?
As soon as we have a bad season some merkins just want to make personal attacks. They’re too emotional for rational discussion so the best way to deal with them is the ignore button. They can take their frustrations out on someone else.
