Our Forward Pack

[silva]

They really impressed me last week going toe to toe with the sharks much improved on last year. Ciros standards are coming through

Size doesn't win you games.

Penrith have won 3 Comps in a row and they don't have a monster sized forward pack. They just play like monsters.

They also have the best yardage winger and fullback in the game

To'o is unbelievable for a man his size. His power to weight ratio must be incredible.

And we can build on that as the team settles in.

Same for out attack. Still a bit rusty, but showing good signs.

I always thought the first 2 games wasn’t a true indication of the contest. So happy we got a better result this time.

You can't coach heart. That is something we learnt last season with the pea heart arm grabbers like RFM, Thompson, TPJ, Knock-on-more

 

[doggieaaron]

Still need a big boppa that paosa could be good

Sam Hughes needs a rev up to bring out his ability?

Didn't Hughes go through more than one major injury ?
If that is the case, he will probably take longer to regain confidence.

100% if RFM, TPJ, AND THOMPSON had heart we would have had a powerful starting pack.

On paper much stronger then the team we had last night.

Based on heart and effort the forward pack last night would swallow a pack with Thompson, RFM and TPJ.
Heart [emoji3590] can be the difference from being a good average player to the best player.

Pity he couldn't come back to some confidence and aggression in Cup but not to be. Big fan that this guy will be a great middle for us

Geoff ROBBO Robinson a prop playing weight was 92 KGs at 180cm tall and a heart bigger than a mountain,
Played like a WILD MAN solely taking on much bigger opposition forwards, never got injured in 4 consecutive seasons until he copped an elbow that broke his jaw from none other than Ted Goodwin as he jumped for a bomb,
Yes Luke's dad
When he was a kid his dad told him "The harder you run the harder it gets for the opposition to tackle you and the harder you will hurt them" , I wish him a better health !!!
We could do with a ROBBO or two at the moment !

Bashed the Titans in sadly what was one of the worst performances by a modern rugby league team. Destroyed in other two games. 3/10

They won more games then us last year so a step in the right direction

Would you attribute this to the structure they're playing with tho? That we're compensating for this lack of size other ways?

Ideally we’d have a bit of size in the backs to help with the hit ups off our line. Hopefully Xerri and Skelton can find a way into the side.

It’s been a long time since I was looking forward to watching us play, But I am frothing for the Bunny’s on Friday, win lose or draw we will stick to the flogs.

Pack is working hard, but I still think they are way off the best packs in the competition. Kikau and Preston hold their own, King and Curran are decent middles and Mann is an excellent utility. But Faamasuali, Knight and Hughes would probably crumble without King and Curran. Salmon and Morrin at least one of them should be in NSW Cup, possibly both. The problem is Patolo looks well off a return to NRL, Tetevano plays like he is semi retired, Fifita and Sutton are injured. Hayes, Hopoi, Kautoga, Samrani and Todd would be monstered if one of Curran or King were missing. Credit to the players, but its a long year and when injuries hit, rhe side might really struggle.

Skelton is ready for FG, Xerri isn't.
