Fair enough. One thing I hope they don't do this season is change the jersey every week. We had like ten different ones last season.
I'm befuddled. Apparently Hodkinson and Hasler aren't on the best of terms and a lot of Dogs fans see him leaving.
Listening to Triple M on the way home and Rabs is on there talking footy. They're going through the team lists and get to Parramatta. Rabs then utters the worlds "I expected Paulo to be playing five eighth". Nearly ran off the road in shock. Either age has finally caught up to him and he's lost the plot or he thinks Sticky is a spastic.
With the back line cattle we have I think that's one of the best 1-5 we can run with. Jonathon Wright is much better on the wing than in the centres. Leutele has shown some real promise, and while Matthew Wright has shown doughnuts on the wing and at fullback, I think he has the size and skill to be a good centre.
Oh I'm not saying you can do much better (apart from Gardner). Unfortunately this is about the best that can be done. It's solid enough but I expect it to lose you more than a game or two. And if the pack doesn't fire, you blokes are fucked. Robson to ACL.
Harsh. It would be gun if Townsend was playing though. He wasn't named in the NSW Cup team so I'll think you'll find Carney is still 50/50.
What do you think about your U20 players? Do you know Penani Manumalealii halfback for your U20s and junior kiwis, and Nuu Brown young cenre/ utility for your U20s, how have they been going, any hope for a future in the nrl for either of them? I went to school with both of them was pretty good mates with Nuu
I did say I won't be back til ten and told someone to update it. No one ended up doing it so I did it when I got back...
if Penrith could fix the centres, and find a better winger than Simmons, and replace Walsh with a good halfback they could actually be a top 4 side, IMHO. However that's a lot of things to improve really, so spoon battle it is.
Bringing in Roberts to fullback, Whare to centre would be a start, but we're left with Tighe (better than Naiqama, IMHO).
Daniela. Although I suppose stopping him from getting injured every 25 seconds isn't what I should call "easy".
