You’ve got to think his (Cummins) mindset will be don’t fail Penrith again.
Good to see Big Sam starting in Reggie’s, I can’t get there this week so I am hoping one of our own experts can provide an update on his performance for me
Yet to be seen if Luai and Egan start, or if Cleary and Kenny start (won’t know till kickoff).
Winterstein on the bench with Martin starting would also be a possibility.
Bench of 2 forwards, a hooker and a half. Bit of a gamble. While our attack needs some spark, and our backrowers are capable of 80 mins, I would be more comfortable with 2 props on the bench.
Alas, no such luxury.
Kenny has obviously been elevated to the top 30 with Katoa in reserves.
Luai and Egan on the bench with Kenny in the run on side
For mine i would start with Egan and Maloney and have Kenny and Luai coming off the bench with asking Maloney just to play a solid 30 minutes without giving away a penalty and bring Luai on at the end of the half and the same with Kenny hoping they can penetrate the Rooster forwards.
the Roosters have shown how they can get beat and that is by an up tempo game and a forward pack willing total it to them…and oddly they have been overwhelmed by this and haven’t been able to respond or go with he other team
we need to do this today…we need to lift and too maintain maximum effort for the full 80 minutes but our forwards must dominate
it was as i had hoped and they weren’t running through us whereas we found holes in behind them
Their try came from a mistake in defence and was out very wide.
Intensity will need to lift but i believe they are there to be taken and we need to go for the full 80
We are right in this and we could see Laui used as a dummy half and Egan used as another forward
