His rubbish also, he gets driven back every time he runs it. Misses tackles constantly, anyone can score untouched, most overrated player thanks to Andrew Voss.
I agree with you but Ivan Cleary loves him. Got rid of Josh Mansour to find a spot for him.

I dunno but Broncos still looking very ordinary in the creativity department. Staggs probably re-signed on the condition that he plays 5/8th but I think he will have as much success as Dylan Walker.
I think it could work because of Adam Reynolds doing all the kicking and controlling. Me personally, I like him at centre where he can be the most damaging centre in the NRL.

do you have a link to somewhere saying he's injured? I heard he was dropped.
I dont, but i thought he pulled out injured and quite close to game time last week.
I'm also in the he is pretty average camp but he starts every time on the wing for them.I'd work it so Momo plays every week but that's just me.

He was a fullback coming through. Him and Leniu on decent contracts so if they're not using them it's going to be a problem for them. I think To'o not being there makes him stand out because he's not effective with kick returns, helping the forward out, etc. They have big raps on Taylan May too. Also a kid there called Jenkins who already in their top 30 next year pretty sure.

Think he had a go at FB and they canned that quickly? put Chrichton back there i think..Not a bad player but not as good as wrapped by some bit soft sometime similar to but better version of Meaney nothign special.Yep i saw a bit of Taylan he looks promising hey?
and is it Tago for them looks another To'o type build and hard running style but more of a utility player maybe.

Yeah I think he had a few games at fullback, at least some games where he switched mid game. Crichton's got some Manu about him but a level below I think. My best friends a Panther supporter and he's been talking about May (more talented then his brother) and Tago for a while now. I think Tago's more of a second rower/centre. We'll see more of him next year with no Capewell. He's had some impact already in his limted minutes.

Yeh Tago might still have a little bit of growing or building up bodywise listed as 92kg NRL says and a 2nd rower but looks versatile and has very decent ability for a 19yo kid.Should get an opportunity on the bench more with Capewell leaving for sure.

Haven't been that impressed with Chrichton all year given the hype but he was very good against Souffs, big enough body and kick returned super well and played hard in a very tough game.Unsure which is his best position, i know Burto is leaving but he has looked/played better at centre than Chrichton has.

Penrith have a few good backs coming through. Be lucky to see Staines play next year if he doesn't improve

Cheers Zill, but a couple of changes below from what I know.

01. James Tedesco (c)
02. Daniel Tupou
03. Billy Smith
04. Joseph Manu
05. Joseph Suaalii
06. Luke Keary
07. Sam Walker (k)
08. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves
09. Sam Verrills
10. Lindsay Collins
11. Angus Crichton
12. Sitili Tupouniua
13. Victor Radley


14. Connor Watson
15. Nat Butcher
16. Egan Butcher
17. Fletcher Baker

Billy Smith will be our starting centre from next year, fingers crossed the kid stays fit and healthy as he will be a gun. He's also training to be our goal kicker.
Siosiua Taukeiaho will be released at the end of this year to take up a huge contract in the ESL.

Penriths backline isn't hard. FB Crighton, wings To'o and Naden, centres Burton and Momo.
Cleary just tries to make room for his son's mates, that's why May and Staines have been making the side.

Sadly, Billy Smith can't stay on the field long enough. Seems like one of those players who's career will be ruined by injuries.
