Izack Tago dropped to bench for Penrith

Posted by LB on March 6, 2026 at 8:20pm

Are there issues at Penrith for Izack Tago? Dropped to the bench in favour of Tom Jenkins. Rumour circled that Lomax for Tago trade was sort of mentioned. Talk of wanting to play at same club as Jake. Now let's say it is true that he wants to play with Jake, there is no harm signing Jake to a NSW Cup deal or 2nd tier deal for 2027 just to have Izack at the club. Perfect Centre replacement for Russell if so.

    Issue with Tago is he cannot defend to save himself 

    • LB > Jack March 6, 2026 at 9:09pm

      He would fit right in.

    Terrible in defence, I would rather Jenkins or Alamoti. McLean would be awesome, but that ain't happening.

    He only defends when it's time for finals

    If Cleary can't get him to defend consistently, I don't know what coach will
