"So the solution is control the ruck and line speed? Pretty hard to do when the referee is waving his hands in the air like he just don't care. Improvement for us needs to come from better 1st contact. We haven't been great in this area, particularly…"

"Their line speed narrative is a myth. When you are at the game they are offside every single play but they don't get called whereas every other team does"

"Terrific blog HOE. Love the stats.
i believe we haven't got the muscle up from to start games well. We are dominated up the middle for the first 25 minutes and always on the back foot. We come into our own once fatigue sets in and have the speed and…"

"Mate did you come up with this analysis yourself re zones? It's incredibly insightful. "

"My take is that our forwards have been beaten convincingly in every match both in defence and attack, especially in the first 30 minutes when.teams have their starting packs on.
The dragons had the majority feild position, but lacked the finesse in…"

"I'm persisting with him I like the athleticism and ball skills on the edge he's an ascending player not a descending one.I think out of all the back rowers we have I think JR rates him highly as he's picked every week.You also got o have some sought…"

"I would love to Penrith GPS stats vs other teams.  They seem to maintain line speed all game where other teams have to pick and choose as you can not physically maintain top level line speed pressure all game but Penrith do.  It also doesn't affect…"

"How do Penrith maintain line speed, pressure and intensity for so long each game.   Sports science is always developing and I believe they have found a loophole.  Every club works hard and have the toughest preseason ever so I don't believe 1 team…"

"EA, Apa played 7 in cup 2 0r 3 weeks ago and managed the game perfectly. His passing game is a thing of beauty and he never delivers a bad pass. The guy has time and is poised, calm and calculated as opposed to Lorenzo, who runs first and when he…"

Invest in these players. They should fuck of Lawrie, Sele, Guler, Kerr,…"

"So would you say Twidle shies away from contact? Is he one to only really attack and that is it?
I see Lorenzo being an all-round player that really needs help with defence and that's it."

"Last night Penrith had 55% possession and Melbourne completed at 94%. I don't think I have ever seen that. Penrith never seem to get major injuries.  "

"Couchman twins can really build around. Ryan on an edge and Toby up front. Now Saints new coach will try to keep them hard and they are local boys but Toby will play Origin soon, he will be worth big $$$.
All you need is the get one and more likely…"

"He has never played 7 coming through. He lacks the defence, kicking game and game managment skills to be a 7.
Twiddle has a great highlights package but the really small things and 1%ers which are non-negotiable for NRL players is something he lacks."
