Agree. Always worked hard but copped ridiculous criticism for not being able to be both a tackling machine and a tackle breaker. Penrith getting the best from him because their pack is better balanced.

 

[happy_tiger]

That was surely a knock on by Penrith

 

[innsaneink]

How many forward passes...ref is right there...very poor

His heart was never in the WT you gotta admit, and that showed in his games with us

 

[innsaneink]

Penrith seem to get thru unscathed though Cleary relinquished the goal kicking to Edwards late in the game.

He wasn't as bad as some make out.

Penrith very beatable next week. Their attack was haphazard today. If dogs defend well they are chance with 75000 crazies their .

Papa was better than Bateman who was there with him, and better than Sukkar and Seyfarth who are used in the backrow now.

Penriths defense will frustrate the doggies. At this point of the season, Pennies are a lot tougher than the storm. Even infront of 75000 crazies

Dogs with an unsettled spine, losing their 2 centres (including captain and best player Critter) and a rookie 7 in Galvin playing without confidence, will be very lucky to beat Panthers.

I would be happy to just take Garner back at this stage. Geez he has improved a lot, runs some great lines and can cause havoc on the edges. Of course, Penrith know how to use him, not sure we would.

Ran great lines when he was with us (when cleary was our coach)

Whyte's work rate is incredible

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Whyte's work rate is incredible

Exactly the type of middle we need, plays good minutes with impact and built like a gorilla.

 

[innsaneink]

So very WTs from the roosters
4-0 with 5 to go at half time chooks
Nek minnit 12-4 sharks
