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...
"My question, JC, is whether that defensive issue is in fact fixable? By the time a player is making first grade there is a lot of footy and a lot of training, both at high level, under their belt. When do ingrained habits become unfixable?"
"Fitzy needs to stop getting high on his own supply.
His tenure wasn't all roses (look at that valley in the middle there), and went for 20+ years AFTER that last drink without delivering another premiership.
Yes, the 3P Era was objectively wose than…"
"EA, you have said how much you despise Bamblett being at 6. Do you feel, or fear, the club are trying to create him as one? I mean there is plenty of time for him to learn but as you said mainly his defensive reading and ball playing is an issue.…"

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
