Rather Samrani! Does seem odd given the speculation of swapping him for old Barnett. Penisini can be really great at times and then really off at other times. Samrani has been very impressive and seems very strong and determined which is what Parra need at the moment

"I really like Samrani but if JR decides to give him up for MB I think that is a massive mistake.
IMO Samrani should be 1st drop for either centre/ wing if one of our starters is out. Brian Kelly is bog average and not going to get better.
Samrani…"

Stats aren't everything, but:
Penisini V the Storm
13 runs for 157m (Eels 2nd best - Iongi 159m)
PCM's - 52 (Eels 2nd best - Kitione 62m)
Tackle Breaks - 6 (Eels 2nd best - Iongi 7)
Line breaks - 2 (Eels best, we only had 3 all up)
Tackles 9 / 4 missed (could be the issue?)
Errors - 2 (not great but not alone, Kitione 2, Moses 2, Pezet 3) - and 1 of them was a few inches off being a great solo try.
Be surprised if he's dropped, even if defense related? Especially if Pezet remains in the 17.
Yes going off those stats he's definitely picked up an injury
Penisini was not our problem last week. I know he makes a few dumb mistakes, but we have bigger problems than him.
