"I remember watching him in nsw cup. He was at left centre with Naiduki on the wing. I remember every week saying he should make his nrl debut. He was such a good defender at 18/19 years old. I would argue since then that his attacking threat has…"

"and fair enough Anasta and others have all said the same things he's a work in progress. He still gets run over too easy and makes silly mistakes. "
"I think the disappointing part for Pensini was the poor defence last week against Melbourne. Yes everyone was shit. But he missed a one on one tackle for Leo to score. He also got burned in the frist half by Leo but Iongi saved the day."
"Penisini ended last year well and he can be a good attacking threat. I won't want Penisini away from the team yet.
But the competition is good and Samrani is doing well. I'd still give Will first crack when he's back from injury. "

"That's where your credability lets you down 101, you better get used to Penisini because the coach loves him!"
"Except for Josh Addo- Carr, and our spine I don't rate any of our backline.Russell has improved out of sight and i'd persist with him if he was staying, but for everyone else, Nope. Will has played over 100 games and still his highlight reels aren't…"
"Yes, hear you Richard, but I assume you mean as a 5/8 not a half? i.e Pezet fits Moses shoes and Twidle has Pezets. I have not seen any of these kids but I will go with the opinions you guys provide."

Samrani vs Penisini
Hard to compare but I think the right edge looked better with Samrani on the weekend.There is no doubt Will has alot of talent but he looks like one of those players who would excel somewhere else since his debut he hasn't really been challenged for…

Ryles/Moses comments on Pezet
Did anyone else notice in the post-game press conference that whenever the journos brought up Pezet, both Ryles and Moses seemed pretty reluctant to lean into the praise?Their body language was interesting. The vibe was basically, “he’s still a work…

This man "THE CROW" is my all time fav EEL. When I played rep league as a youngster I tried to mould my gam and goal kicking around him
Very classy player and man 👏🏻👏🏻👊😎
Theres the carlo kiss of death right there.
Mick, please be safe in the next few days/weeks.
😆😆😆 far out lol
Bit overrated though, wouldnt want him kicking a goal to save your life.
Wouldnt want him coaching to save your life either
i was just throwing out a few crumbs HKF, looking for a nibble
Nice one Garry, good to see you got out ok, rumoured to be a few bodies buried under the Gerringong.
Your opionion mate. To be honest It was mentioned by the rep coach back in 84 when I played school rep footy that I played a bit similar to the crow. My all time fav and always will be
There is a reason he is the first "Champion" of Parramatta. Played in all of our Grand Final wins. One of the all time greats and worthy of Immortal status. I laugh at anyone who knocks him as a goal kicker. He held the all time ARL/NRL point scoring record for years kicking leather balls from sand mounds. More importantly, a champion human being. Great photo Garry.
Also needs to be remembered he didn't start playing NSWRL until he was 26 so his total points scored could have been higher if he started earlier.
