Penners, we've got our backs against the wall. l can't remember the last time our squad was so decimated with injury.
But there is a silver lining my friends.
No one expects us to win. The pressure is off the team for the first time in eons.
We've got buckets of talent remaining in the squad.
JWH & SST - the best props in the competition. I wouldn't swap them for anyone
CORDS - the great man will be back this year, adding starch and invaluable leadership and respect among the playing group. They'll know this is his last year and will be doing everything to send him (and Friendy) out winners
RADLEY - What more needs to be said? Pound for pound the toughest player in the NRL, and with ball playing skills to boot.
WALKER - Just one of the those natural freaks (like Carney, Thurston, Johns) he is just a natural at playing footy and creating. Watch him ride the confidence all the way to the big dance this year.
TEDDY - The games no.1 fullback and support player in the comp, hands down.
VERRILS - out for a few weeks, but will be back. Absolutely tore it up upon his return from a year out. Top class service and dummy half running.
J'ORRIS - bucketloads of experience and proven talent at the highest levels. A world class outside back even on his poor days. Watch him take a bolder leadership role from hereon.
CRIGHTON - one of the games premier second rowers and leaders. Articulate, uncompromising, creative. A unique set of talents. We are lucky to have the man.
BAKER - I might have knocked this guy before he played a game (mainly he looks like the result of a pregnancy if Cameron Smith - Kyle Flanagan had procreated), but trust me. This guy is every bit as good as Collins. He will kill it this year.
also.....
FIFITA...not Daniel, ANDREW FIFITA is a chance at joining us this year. I maintain that aside from breifly under Flanagan, he has never had good coaching and discipline. Robbo, Cords and JWH will sort out his attitude and he'll be a monster. Tis a rumour, but there is enough smoke that i'm convinced there is fire.
also....
The greatest coach in modern history, the one and only TRENT " ESCARGOT " ROBINSON.
Penners, we are in this up to our necks.
The PANTHERS, STORM, RABBITS and EELS are our only GENUINE competition. Everyone else is making up the numbers.
Strap it, get excited, and whip our boys home.
Mark this down as an ' I told ya so' post. We will be in the GF this year, and it will be against one of the 4 aforementioned teams.
