Fainu was very very good. I did not know much about him, but he looks the goods. Him, Sezer, Olam, Galvin are massive additions to the squad.

The intensity in defence stayed for 80 minutes. Beautiful.

I think today's game will inform me of my expectations for the season. If they still try to run all their plays through Api, we are done. Conversely, if the halves add a dimension to the attack and get the defence having to guess then there is hope. Add some resolute defence and we will...

Excellent work Mikey

This was what I was wondering when watching him play in the trials. Geez I hope Benji doesn't fall back to a boring, no mistakes style of play. We'll get nowhere if that's the style of play he is looking for.

I'm hearing you K man. Their performance was ranged from abysmal to a bit better than abysmal. I will give them 5 weeks and then reassess, but like others on here, it was such groundhog day to last year...and the year before....and the year before....you get what I mean. The only good thing to...

Yep that tackle killed Taniela's career. Ben Smith would get six weeks for that these days - and rightly so.

I agree the title in 2005 was unexpected, especially half way through the year. But the lowest winning margin in our 4 finals game was 8 points against the Dragons. We put on 50 odd against the Cowboys, then beat Brisbane by 20 odd. Saints in the prelim and winning margin of 14 in the grand...

Too funny Tito. I remember that kick from Cantona. he was one unusual hombre!

I agree it is a dice role, but one I am pleased we are having. Our outside backs need bolstering, like right now. Let's see how he performs in a new environment.

Lobb looked good finishing. What stood out for me from the video is Bud is a natural footballer. The way he read when and where to throw the pass, where (and how) to draw defenders and where a gap presented itself for him to run was really pleasing. I am looking forward to seeing him play this year.

In another post we discussed the type of lock forward we would like. There is no reason that in the future Lachlan could not transition to a ball playing lock. With proper weights training he might fill out like Isaih Yeo, who was also a tall lanky type when he first came to Penrith. If he turns...

an ideal lock for me is in the mould of Victor Radley, Isaiah Yeo, Cameron Murray. All three can mix it with the big men, but also have ballplaying ability. We need a lock of this type IMO.

Fair call

Agree - in fact I think they will have this worked out within the first six months. I also think they will get a good idea with Sullivan and Fainu as well. From there they will (I hope) make very attractive offers to whoever they think is worth keeping before November. All three may not work...

Wow that's the best roster in these positions we have had for some time- AND we actually have them, not a wish for list.

When I think of that money it does my head in a bit. It would take me the best part of 10 years to earn one million. How I would love to be earning 500K a year. I wouldn't need much motivation to work my butt off if I had the opportunity to 500K a year - just gratitude for being so lucky.

Not surprised he is being shopped, if that is the case. Payten just would not accept his low level of commitment in defence. I watched a couple of Cowboys games and Luciano ran hard in attack, but his laziness in defence was obvious.

My God, if those three came we would be a real chance for the Top 8. Might have a sneaky look at Sportsbet odds before anything is announced. Then again we might get 0-3. Aah - worth a punt.

Agree - sure 2025 might be when the perceived ducks line up, but we need to be showing improvement next year so 2025 can build on the momentum gained in 24.
