Season 2025

Can you say why mate?

In my opinion it's way down the list of priorities for this season for us.

I think the focus has to be on getting the offense to click. There is so much attacking potential in our squad. We need to run over teams.

Defense is also important.

The coaching staff to me is the biggest concern. Can they pick the right players and get them combining well ? Will we have good attacking and defensive structures ? Will we get some bad injuries ?

Goal kicking to me is way down the list.

Agree, but we do need a goal kicker.
I would be surprised if Api was our only option though.

It's not an either/ or....the focus can easily be on both. The wingers scoring 6 point tries is a huge advantage that every top 4 side has had

I agree with most of this tiger, especially defense. It has to get a lot better and every player has to be accountable.
If we get slaughtered by 60+ again or get towelled up in a testimonial/memorial type of game I'll be so peeved off.
I think the more quality players you have in a side it negates this. Where getting there.
I can't agree on your view regarding the goal kicking though but I can see where your concerns lay and that's cool.

Turning 4 pts into 6, is huge, after a few tries have been scored.

E.g. 4 tries, no conversions = 16 pts
4 tries, with 4 conversions = 24 pts.
Which is basically 2 more tries.

Also goals are a given these days. To miss goals is nearly criminal.
Most good kickers are mid 80% success rate.
A majority of Penrith's tries are scored in the corner but The Chin keeps knocking them over from the sidelines.
