Thoughts on fitting in Edwards and Peni

Posted by Steve on March 13, 2017 at 11:11am

Hi Guys,

First of all nice win yesterday and fingers crossed we do a number on the Titans next week also. I have been thinking about how well Guys like OBrien and Alvaro have stepped up and I got wondering when Peni and Edwards are available, assuming all fit, do you see them coming straight back into the side?

Not far till Peni is available and my thought is he will replace OBrien (who I thought played well yesterday). Plus I think BA really rates Peni and will get him in straight away.

Re Kenny, he is such an explosive weapon off the bench, I am actually starting to think he will maybe replace Frank Pritchard.

I think Alvaro has been fantastic. He always works his backside off in defence and although it seems like he gets a bit bashed up with the ball, he still makes good metres.

Just my thoughts

Edwards will be an automatic selection when available.

Vave once match fit will be on the bench.

Rory had a good game but will drop off first, then probably Alvaro unless forms change radically or injury.

  From what I am hearing Vave is carrying plenty of weight atm and lets see what happens... I am a big Peni fan and hope he comes straight back in.

Is vave been playing for wenty if he is he sucks because they have not won yet

and I think Rory will make way for Edwards and I do like and feel sorry for Alvaro because Peni will take he's spot

ILL BE BACK

  This muppet again. You have the dumbest opinion on this site. He played one game, and he just returned from injury. Stop trying to have some persona with this Arnold shit, your life must be miserable.

O'Brien and Alvaro will be first to go.

BA is extremely loyal when the team gets the job done. I'm tipping a week in wenty for both (injury allowing )

Vave wasn't signed to simply linger in the Wenty side.

Whether it's next week or in 2-3 weeks tops, he'll be in the first-grade side.

  He is a big boy and will give us go forward off the bench. How good is Matagi, some great, tough runs.

Both Edwards and Peni are above O'Brien and Alvaro in the pecking order. I'd like to see both Edwards and Peni have a game in second grade before returning to the top team. Both Peni and Edwards have the runs on the board and neither O'Brien or Alvaro have done anything special to leg frog them. The best bench players are attacking players who can lift the tempo of the game with their leg speed, quick play the ball and guys that can score a try or set up a try. Neither O'Brien and Alvaro are these types of players, but Edwards and Peni are.
