Very good players who had day jobs and didn’t train 9 to 5.

Who said the halves ?? Talk is he may get a run in the centres or even on the wing .. plenty of super talented kids that ended up having 10 year plus NRL careers debuted on the wing just to get a run
One thing I will say is while TDS probably wouldn’t have gotten his debut had Api not gone down with injury, he didn’t do too bad when he made his debut. Not perfect and obviously has things to work on, but he wasn’t crap either and actually did look threatening at times. Although this year I think he’ll spend at least 95% of the season in Cup unless we get hit again with injuries.
I’m hoping this year as well we don’t give debuts unless the player has earned it. Feledy and Kit I wouldn’t have named in our last game last season if I was the coach. Clearly weren’t ready although I think Kit will be ready at some stage, but whether that’s this year idk. Feledy needs at least the whole season in Cup if possible. Not writing him off he’s very young, but he’s not ready.

Ivan Cleary is a big fan of Tyrone May. Let Penrith have him please. I'm not taking Terrell and Taylan if it means Tyrone has to come. He is trouble on and off the fieldGiven any deal would be for 2025 - you are literally claiming Tyrone May is BETTER than:
Luai
Fainu
Sullivan
Galvin
He is a crap player and a worse person!!

Have you ran this past Benji? 😅😂😅🤣 just kidding mate.. who knows what will happen, personally I’d like to see him or Latu get run in the centres especially if Bud can fire in the halves with Sezer .. I just want to see the best 17 consistently picked .. the best footballers

Tyrone May almost lost the 2021 grand final for penrith when he dropped the ball when he came on. In 2020 GF he conceded 2 crucial tries on his edgeGiven any deal would be for 2025 - you are literally claiming Tyrone May is BETTER than:
Luai
Fainu

And ? I’d back every single one of those players to still get a run in the outside backs today .. every single one
Latu and Sullivan I think will be battling it out for a spot in the halves. Sezer I think will have one given he’s experienced compared to the rest of our halves. It’ll be interesting to see our first lineup when the time comes.

The sex offender thing is a big issue. Even if he was a good player, he's a culture problem we don't need after a rebuild. Dragons can take all the troublemakers, that's their culture. We got rid of Musgrove and from memory I don't think anyone on our team is a dickhead off the field. When Tyrone May's sex tape scandal was revealed in early 2019, penrith were 16th after 10 rounds. It has a massive impact on a team that was full of young stars at that stage as well as experienced guys like Maloney. Let's not take a step back

They played nearly 40 years ago in a semi-professional era. Go back and look at the frame on Mick Neil 😂

I think Sezer might surprise a few people , he has always been a solid first grade footballer and might just be perfect for what this young team needs this year.. a bit like James Maloney at the Panthers

True , mick was a tough little scrapper though that really knew how to tackle around the legs

Don't think we should be rushing Galvin this year. Maybe give him a game or 2 if the halves are injured but that's it. Halves should be Sezer and Fainu/Sullivan this season so we get some good combos and Sezer is a bit similar to Luai in style. Galvin can also prepare to play other positions so he's not waiting too long. If he wants to play 7 and Sullivan and Fainu are good this year, I guess he'll just go and there's not much we can do about that

I didn’t mean to lessen what those players did at all. They were greats of that era.
But nowadays teenage debutants are exposed to guys who are huge finely tuned athletes.
Im sure Mal Meninga was just as scary.
Not in 89 when Brash debuted!
The best players were already pretty much fulltime footballers then!
Rest assured Siro and Mal weren't coppers in 1989!!
Their "occupations" were just honourary with sponsors as sales consultants etc
Daley - Clyde - Fittler - Brasher etc never had any other jobs away from football!
Disagree. Warriors right side last year was dominant close to the line through perfect execution of a 2 option set play.
Souths left edge also has a very simple option play that has served them well for years with only minor changes each year.
I do believe building momentum and playing "eyes up" is a big part of attacking footy just that set plays are also still very much a trend in the game.

I could be wrong but I think Sirro and Mal were probably exceptions. I thought Super League was the start of the era where everyone could give up their side hustle.
Brasher was still at school at seven hills
