I thought the same thing Fui. I heard a few days ago that Mahoney wont be ready and now BA is saying he will be. If he is then I would be worried about his fitness. He wont be 80min ready so do we go with Stoney on the bench or the switch with Gutho filling in during the middle of the game. Also who replaces Browny? I hope its not Terepo.
Actually even though I agree his hands let him down sometimes Terepo does have the ability to play as a ball playing forward and before Brown came to the club often played that middle link role. It's quite strange actually Terepo seems to have quite good skills with his pass before the line but has really got a simple fumble in him.
Cant fault his effort however he has terrible hands. Often when coming off our own line. And as much as he runs hard I dont think he bends the line that much
Peni's handling has been quite good the last few years....
But serously - compare his error rate with the rest of our forwards and I think you will be surprised. He had a bad run once and got a rep that has dogged him since. You f one goat...
"I will say that is a pretty poor 2027 squad and with only 9 spots available with more to re-sign, dear lord.
But i would lean on the departing team. Mainly due to the spine."
"I saw that this moring (UK time), yes. But we'll never know if he cost us 50k more than he would have a few weeks ago. Same for Apa, I think he would have signed a 1y NRL contract for next year."
"The 2026-2031 stuff was player options. His contract ended at the end of 2025, meaning he was free to talk to rivals in November 2024. The options only came into play if he activated them, and he didn't. Matterson's contract also ended in 2025 but…"

I noticed his handling improved when he actually looked to use the ball.

I mean, who is really going to be 80 minutes ready?

Exactly my thought. His handling is better than many other plauers. But it feels like he is stuck in 4th gear for a last few years.
Agree- especially late last year
My point is that over the last few years Peni's error rate is not higher than other forwards- haven't seen the stats - just my impressions
