Stapleton dropped. Pretty much got wrongly blamed for the loss against St George. Matt Wright is injured.
Can't wait for this. Love it when Penrith play FTA it just means more people are watching. Pretty big screw up by Channel 9 though. Anyway latest news. Wade Graham already dropped off the bench. Gavin Cooper still on standby for Pritchard. Pritchard has been given until kick-off to be fit. Sharks no expected changes.
NSW Cup result from Penrith for those interested. Windsor Wolves 34 defeated Balmain Ryde Eastwood Tigers 32. Can't give you a match review as I don't have it.
I wouldn't write it lol. I hope Windsor make the grand final so I can watch them come Grand Final day.
Panthers beat the Sharks in the NYC game today 36-26. Good sign for Panthers fans is that Greg Waddell scored a double. ftr, I won't be updating this game live or delayed. I want to be able to watch the game without knowing the result.
Given all the crap people were giving Lawrence's defence in the other thread, I'd like to point out that, despite the fact that Penrith are way on top, Jennings has made 0 tackles and missed 2 tackles in the first half.
To be fair he's just crossed for his third try , but he's still only made one line break and 64m so I get the feeling they were grandma tries.
Three try assists for the Cootester as well. Awesome to see him developing his ball-playing so much this season; he really could end up an Origin player if he focuses on that because it's the one thing Dugan is absolutely terrible at.
Jennings, Lawrence, Soward, all players who will never play much in origin due to the fact they can't tackle
One of them was, Coote passed him a ball that rolled towards the try line five metres out and all he had to do was pick it up and pretty much put it down.
We have lift-off, ladies and gentlemen. That's right, Jennings has made a tackle. I repeat, Jennings has made a tackle.
