Worst possible ref & against our bogey team. I shudder to think what will happen. On the positive side I’m working, so I will know the result before I get to watch it.
Me too, Mutley. I’ll get home from work about fulltime. But, given our record against the Storm, knowing the result aint a bad thing.
Hope Dylan Edwards has a big game. He’s been written off by a few posters on this forum wanting Crichton at fullback. That might happen, but let’s give Edwards a couple of games first, yeah?
Is it just me, or does that team look a bit “average” on paper?
The more we talk about the 3 and the bench, the more unconvinced I get about our possible premiership capability.
Also, you can bet your bottom $ that the Storm will be targeting Crichton’s defense at 4, Blake really highlighted a deficiency there, we need to fix that post haste.
I’m with the champ, I’d like to see Burton start along side Cleary.
Luai off the bench for mine. Burton can kick as well so this might
allow Cleary to explore other options, like taking the line on.
I’m all for Burton starting also, the mind boggles as to why you wouldn’t play quality over hype. I still don’t know what Luai brings other than the ‘X’ factor, unfortunately the ‘X’ stands for wrong most times with Luai.
I think it was clear from last week that Burton got onto the field about 10-15 minutes too late. He was starting something, but needed more time to get us some points. Caleb Aekins has been excellent for us, but Dylan Edwards should add a little more attacking finesse while being (hopefully) just as safe.
How many more games do you give Luai with Burton breathing down his neck? I think we may see Burton get slightly more game time this week, but ideally we won’t be in a position where we need a miracle play to win because the storm are a tough team who are probably the best at closing out matches.
The closer we get to kick off, the more confident I am, with the 1 obvious consternation, that is, which team the ref will give the ascendancy too with these new I AM KING rules……
If I knew it would be even stevens in the refs calls, I would take the $5.70 at 13+ with a cost cover bet of 1-12.
Why am I so confident against what is essentially our bogie team?
I’m not sure either but sure hope he’s right. We have clearly been in each game so far, only loss was by 6.
I think the storm are not a good as before, but always are hard to beat. They will have the pocket ref playing for them
Hoping for a full 80’ display and getting the 2 points. I’ve got the beer in the fridge and my jersey on. C’mon boys!!!
One of the best performances I’ve seen from Penrith over the last few years. Could’ve easily faded in the last 20 like last week but really deserved that win. Api’s made a huge difference this year and it was good to have Edwards back.
That was a really solid performance; so much to like about it, as the TV commentators have have discussed. Some other comments are :-
Billy Burns is at times a liability; he sometimes really is a Spaceman.
Dean Whare seems to have lost speed.
We had 7 sets of 6-again against us, none against the Storm. We are either an ill-disciplined team, or Penrith management needs to put a rocket up the NRL.
Josh Mansour seems to be running sideways more and more. Sometimes he finds a hole, at other times he is a sitting duck.
