Rumours and Stuff

I told you all 8yrs ago they where building a powerhouse. I didn't expect it to be this good.

The worse thing as I drove a mate home I heard on radio. Roosters big targets - Moses and Ponga

Don’t worry We have MON and Jim building our Dynasty. What can go wrong??

Spags approves of this speculation.

No mate, you blokes get all our rejects and pay top dollar.

Good luck with Blaize the tackling machine.

 

[Glenneel]

And Coaches too. Remember Gus sacked Ivan for being tired? Signed a dud in Griffin without an interview.

Maybe Gus was sick of Ivan ignoring him. I know he caused trouble by releasing players that Ivan wanted. Eventually the board grew tired of Gus and released him. And as they say, the rest is history. But hey, Gus will take credit for it.

 

[Glenneel]

And we shat the bed after he left. Coincidence?

Not big enough sample.

I think you guys have been chipping in for almost all of them. Do you have anymore that we can take off your hands?

Luai made 8 tackles yesterday and missed 4. Didn't seem to effect The Pennys much. Blaize could fit in just fine.

Gee To’o would be nice, what a player.

Luai at least attempts to tackle though, there were times this year where Blaize moved out of the way

Shows the Storm didn't attack enough down his side ffs

 

[Pazza]

talk about nit picky, holding the storm to 6 with players like munsters, paps, hughes, grant etc

and people are going to have a go at panthers players about mistackles????

Of all Panthers, he was fourth or fifth in betting for MotM. A winger ffs

The problem is with all of Penrith’s toilers in the middle it’s nearly impossible to get at their edge defenders one-on-one.

He was good but I reckon Coates was best winger on field. Turuva had a great game also. Alamoti was in beast mode. They got a gem for 150k there.

Basically Alamonti is on what we paid Morgan Harper to get off the plane and come back to the NRL

Ivan out coached Bellamy.
They basicaly threatened to go outside and kept turning the ball back in until the times they scored.It meant Storm had to keep changing direction and it extended the play so the forwards and Grant had their energy sapped.
Panthers forwards barely took a hit up in the first 25min. The backs and halves did most the running work. The forwards just where fresh for defense. And they battered them.
After 55mins Penrith unleashed the forwards. Leota,JFH and Yeo ran rampant. Some of Yeo's runs where he kept legs pumping and making 15mtr hit ups. Very similar to last years grand final.
Storm had better attack but couldn't use it. They where never given any room. They basicaly where monstered. And all that was left was a bomb in the last and prey.
I don't think Penrith attacks that great. Heck ours is probably as dangerous. But the game plan,patience and defense is one of beat I have ever seen.

Their forwards make bugger all runs too. For the amount of possession they had their forwards didn't make many runs to what you'd expect from other teams. This means their small forwards can focus on getting up quickly in defence, ganging up in tackles and sliding across.

I'm looking forward to 2025.
We will go into the year with an exciting young fullback, potentially the best wing combination in comp. The best defensive halves combo in comp and top 5 in attack.
The forward pack is solid with some potential of some young guns like Pryke,Guymer,Morretti along with a few smokies who can make a difference.

Hooker may be a weak point and centre but Simmonson/Will while not spectacular are both solid NRL level players.
