People complain about Packer all the time. Last year he started the season very well for us. It wasn’t until returning from his knee injury that his from dropped off and I suspect his knee was buggered for the entire back end of the comp. Coming off the bench as a impact player is looking like a...
I've tried to remain positive throughout the last few months. Embrace a new coach and look to the future rather than dwell on recent setbacks. I believe we have improved as a team over the last 24 months. I'm also still hopeful that we are able to extend Brooks. If he leaves however I'll...
Madge is 44 years of age, trained under Meninga and Bellamy learning his trade as a coach. Gain wide praise during his time in Melbourne when they "won" the minor premierships and 2 Grand Finals. Left to go to England as the senior coach where he won the Super League GF and Challenge Cup and...
I'm over the moon. 2 years left with Ivan. How long will Wayne be at the Broncos, Seibold at Souths, Mary at St George? We've got more than enough out of this to have players feel comfortable in the off season to sign on with us. They know we've got a great coach and strong management. If we get...
I suggest everyone let @todd_greenberg know what that think of the matter in a civilised fashion on Twitter btw. It's a dreadful look for the whole NRL.
I’ve been suspecting that something else might be going on with Gus. His comment “I won’t stand between Ivan coaching Nathan”. In the media. The thing is he sack Ivan, then he wanted to get rid of the bloke who replaced him. After awhile people get sick of this kind of behaviour. I’m not...
One other possible option is that Gould might have lost some power at Penrith. That could explain Gus saying "I wouldn't stand in the way of Ivan and Nathan working together". If Gus retires from Penrith or moves to a Director only position then I could see how it makes the job more appealing to...
I also have no problem with Ivan trying to negotiate a good deal with his next contract. If the Panthers did approach him with an amazing offer I don't think it's unreasonable for Ivan to discuss that with his current employer. If I was Ivan's employer then I would like to be aware if he had a...
I have know doubt that Ivan has friends at many clubs and considering he coached and his son plays for the Panthers I'm sure Penrith is one of those. I'm not at all confident that Ivan and Gus get on terribly well. If you listen to the Six Tackles Podcast Gus makes it apparent that he and Ivan...
What are peoples thoughts on looking to use Lohohea as a hooker. I know he's having trouble with his knee currently however this will improve and he showed lasted that he's a football talent. As he's maturing his body is turning into more of a typical forward.
A spine of:-
9 Tui
7 Brooks
6 JR...
I think that there is a bit of a different feeling around the Moylan issue than both the Big 4 and what's gone on recently with Jarryd Hayne. That's not to say Moylan is blameless however the media seem to be understanding of his situation in away they haven't been with both the other two...
I think that "The Doc" could be right. Just because we haven't heard yet doesn't mean that more haven't got on the bus than the fan's are aware of at this point. If Rona has got a ticket then Ivan has rebuilt this team in 6 months.
2018 should see us pushing for the eight and 2019 could deliver...
