Yeah I don't see it either. All I see is a massively failed coach with a bunch of players that have played above their weight in well structured teams. All chucked into a wishy washy mess. Gould heralded as the saviour but Penrith didn't do anything until he left .

They'll definitely win more games but their spine is still poo. They're 5+ years away from being a force and that's if they actually do get their stuff together off the field.
Penrith should win if their defence and intensity is maintained for 80 minutes. Penrith forced the Storm to make errors with rushing defence. They knew what play was unfolding as it was happening. It'll be interesting to see if they can nullify Souths' attack.
"His defense is definitely a concern, there have been times where he appeared scared to put his body in front of the ball runner. The work Ryles would have to do with him in defence it would probably be better to identify a fast or big athletic…"
"Yes we have trouble attracting talent but paying overs just to get a deal done is stupid. It is better to target younger unknown players and develop them. If you sign someone on overs it shows they are just after money so there are 2 likely…"
"Great post, Bluey.
Fan perception and reality are two different things. Patience is another matter altogether.
By "we too must buy" using the Panthers example, I think you mean Hollywood "big names," right? To be more like the Broncos, Roosters,…"
"If he is top 30, then it is a deal already in place when he signed last year. This would not be a reaction to Lomax leaving.
Similar to like Latu and Funa-Iuta, who are on development for 2026 and top 30 2027."

Tbh I still see them finishing dead last.
Sorry mutts, I've had a few lol. But I think the Dogs will be 9th 10th. But I'm predicting they'll climb the ladder every year under gus
Really Eels in 8th. Very surprising, why do you think that?
