Wallace

[Munky]

All I can say is massive respect. I thought he was done playing in the halves but at hooker he has given his all.

I salute you sir!

Pretty happy my avatar is unchanged since 07.

Edit: I'm five beers down as my nerves can't handle watching Penrith playing well.

 

[forby]

Maybe he should have been a hooker years ago! Who knows how good he could have been!

 

[tripster]

He has been playing very well at hooker. No one has a perfect game every week, but he is playing better than the 9s at many other clubs. Apparently he has also resigned with us for next season.

Who can possibly begrudge Pete one more season. Solid experienced player and a quality human.

Totally agree

 

[TheFrog]

He reminds me of Des Hasler in the latter years of his career when he successfully switched to hooker. Both defensive workhorses and fitness fanatics.

 

[murraymob]

there is no doubt moving him to hooker was a master stroke by griff. He has been one of our best players the last few weeks

Just want to give Wallace another wrap. He played really well today and gave it 100%. He has well and truly silenced the haters this season (although I think the commentators were going to far to suggest he might play Origin again next year).

I didn't hear that but i was thinking it mid game. He isn't going to win you the game but he certainly wouldn't let anyone down. His only competition is Peats really.

 

[umina panther]

Mitchell Pearce should be the NSW hooker imo

And it should be Peats. He's got more seasons left in him than Wallace and a higher ceiling.

Commentators were ridiculous today with a number of things.

Yeah the Belcher hate for the Panthers really came through today hey ?

 

[Fibroman]

Peachy is the long term answer and can shift out and cover any position from backrow to wing if we get hit by injuries.

Seemed like they all wanted us to lose. Would have been convenient for a couple of losing teams this weekend.

Very hard to get a positive comment from them when we scored or did something good. They noticed every decision that went against the Knights though.

I was fuming at the jimmy smith comment that "it is easy to penalise newcastle"......hello? the penalty count was 8-2 in their favour up until late in the 1st half! Then 8-4 at ht

I heard it and thought it was a weird comment. If i recall correctly they were saying "future origin hooker after farah"....going great but not exactly a spring chicken

Yep and it was a blatant penalty. Mullen kicked the ball well after the siren sounded.

We had a lot of stuff go unpenalised. That strip on Merrin on tackle zero was an obvious strip somehow missed by all officials and it could have cost us big time. Worse than not calling a minor obstruction which gained no advantage and a wrong forward pass call on the last tackle.

I was laughing. Absolutely ridiculous statement.
