A weirdly large number of backs across the nrl have debuted while shakey under the high ball recently tbf, it's what made helped make Bula such a standout since even a star like Walsh still has games where he's terrible under the high ball

Tbf this current crop of Penrith players came up as the second generation after Gould took over and a better comparison for our guys might be Moylin and Dalin who haven't been as successful tho I will admit to not remembering how they were when they debuted

Klemmer probably comes in at the expense of kit tbh since while he hasn't let us down he also hasn't exactly been a star and klemmer adds more to the team atm

People are understandable impatient but it's not wise to write off a 20 year old forward just because he's not killing it at cup level yet the games filled with guys that took a little longer to find their feet against men. That being said he probably shouldn't be on a top 30 contract

The entire extended bench, seyfarth, da Silva, Matamua, kit and Galvin

Seyfarth gets into his own head when he starts and gives a ton of penalties away. For whatever reason he's less likely to do something dumb when he comes on off the bench

Fisher harris isn't a big prop he's 6'2 and 105 kg which is large for a normal guy but at least 10kgs lighter then everyone else you listed. For all people like to complain our up and comers are undersized they generally are around the same size as penrith the gold standard of the comp

They were always going to have a pretty strict interpretation of the rule the week after ilias had his leg snapped in a pretty similar incident

Making him do all the last tackle kicking shook him mentally

He was a culture signing, the club went out signed alot of older players that had good attitudes and knew that not all of them would perform to their best level. Outside of last week bateman while far from his best is usually decent

Alot of that has to do with the fact we have been pretty bad at gaining good field position. We haven't been outstanding in opposition half but we haven't been bad there either, there was a stat that showed we are scoring at the expected rate for our field position this year. Execpt against...

Egan is in the top tier lol and is probably the nsw 9 after api retires

Manase at best will be 27 when he gets out on parole while being out of the game for 6 years so he'll get a cup contract at best and I'm not sure if the nrl will let a guy who's still serving a sentence for a violent crime be registered

The main shortage is of halfbacks not 5/8s and while I think doueihi does have the potential to be a good 5/8 he isn't there yet and at this stage of his career no one is going to give him the game time and opportunities to get there. Doueihi is better off acknowledging that fact that the time...

If your looking for a podcast that does the round previews and reviews my favourites are the boom rookies by Matt bungard and Nick campton and levels by willie mason and Justin horo

Him being suspended might be a bit of a blessing in disguise since players as young as him tend to get rested for a couple of weeks during their first season, now we can do it with minimal media fuss

I think turuva would run into the same problems that Staines is having in our squad, we don't really use our wingers in attack which means pure finishers like them don't really suit our team. What we need is wingers that are great at getting metres.

I think papalii is more likely to do a stint there since he's got the size to play prop

Yep lol

If there is anything to like about our squad it's that best players outside of api are young
