I have no problem with LM being an advocate for his people. But I think it has taken precedence over playing football at a committed level for the people who pay him and the fans who support him. That is his primary job.
Jack W has been playing well, but the team for whom disaster was predicted, Canberra, look reinvented without him.
Demetriou facing sack after Souths' disastrous start with Bennett, Bellamy, Burgess possible replacement options
Hey Albo. Worked with rock and roll bands all over the world for many years, so I might have heard my prescribed amount of lead breaks.
However I also enjoy solos in football but Penrith keep turning off the opposition’s power or unplugging the amps.
The missing ingredient Roosters need to kick into title contention - and the no-name player Robbo should take a punt on
The Roosters wingers and centres went from threateningly tall to embarrassingly tall. The Panthers worrying short wingers got the ball back quickly and burrowed under or thru tacklers.
Everything looked like a symphony with the Panthers while East looked like a series of lead guitar solos.

As Rex Mossop used to say – he went for a brain scan but it revealed nothing.

You are right. It isn’t just the player, it’s the system into which they are absorbed.

I agree entirely. In terms of the imports who have exceeded expectations beyond O’Sullivan, Cogger and now Schneider, you also have Sorenson and Hosking last year. Alamoti could be huge as well for Penrith. I think a lot of talent scouts looking for halves should be a bit embarrassed.
Even Eisenhuff seems to be developing is game in the latter part of his career. He’s been great in the absence of Fisher-Harris.

I have noticed people talk about the fact that Ivan had lost a GF as a player and a coach as though that made him a loser. His three premierships now show those for what they were – incredible achievements that kept him learning and evolving.
Ivan the terribly consistent over-achiever vaults into greatest coaches debate by habitually exceeding expectations
Seems a terrific young kid. It’s good he got the debut out of the way and I look forward to watching hime blossom.
'Do what I say, not what I do!': How Mavrik is looking to build on the Geyer legacy - while avoiding the judiciary
At some stage people have to start talking about Ivan Cleary as a master coach. He continually outhinks Robinson. He brings players along slowly but brilliantly. Young Liam Henry is superb. I watched Lindsay Smith tonight and he is very powerful. Kenny is a whirlwind. Young Schneider was precise and a powerful tackler and has a great kicking game. The older players – Yeo., Edwards. Leota and Martin – just drive the energy. Speaking of older players. Eisenhuff is playing like a top class forward. It seems the drive to perfection at Penrith never ends.
Annesley admits Roosters were robbed as obstruction rules come under blowtorch despite Panthers' statement win
It’s going to be interesting to see how this works against the Panthers on Thursday. It is the shortest wingers versus the tallest. The short ones are able to burrow and are hard to stop on ball return. The taller are faster and leap higher. When Penrith’s defensive blitzkrieg is working you don’t often get to play the way you planned.

EVERYTHING is twice as bad with Ennis. I listen with the sound down or watch Ch 9.

Just as impressive I think is watching players unwanted at other clubs like Sorenson and Hosking, or the halfbacks on standby for Cleary, go to such heights. That’s why I am excited to see Alamoti play. The won’t rush him, will look to improve his defence and then bang – another Liam Henry or Tago or Turuva. Even Eisenhuff at 31 seems to be developing.
'Duty to bend' debate over Walsh hit overshadows 'absolute genius' Cleary torturing Broncos in statement Panthers win
I certainly won’t discount Brisbane. I’m a Panthers supporter but love watching Brisbane play, and you are right, they were missing three of the most influential players in the game.
Eisenhuff and young Henry compensated for JFH very well I thought.

It must be a dream for a young player to come into the Panthers NRL side. They will have been extremely well prepared and be allowed to grow into the career. Yes, Henry was extremely good. He played a lot of minutes didn’t he.

Penrith seem to lock back into their systems very quickly after a fumble or a jinking run from Luia. So introducing more offloads could be really effective. Perhaps this is an adaptation to losing Lenui who just changed the dynamics of the game so often with his surges.

Yes I agree Tom. May would be immediately red carded. I watched Ireland play in the Six Nations and the Irish locks, who are huge men around 6’10”, drop almost to a knee in preparation for a tackle. They are clearly coached to do it and it must be relentless training.

I read last year that he would bring different skills than Lenui and that is starting to show – low mistake rate, relentless tackling, and while his runs aren’t in Leniu’s league they are still strong.

Apart from the obvious masterclass by Cleary, young Liam Henry had a strong game, as did Lindsay Smith. The unfashionable Eisenhuff played well. I’m starting to think Ivan Cleary knows more about football than me 😊

Mitch Kenny is the epitome of what you are describing. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him make a dart from dummy half, but he distributes extremely well.
He doesn’t just defend. He hits like an Exocet missile and often plays for 80 minutes.

He was a great, wholehearted winger at his peak, but was lucky to be picked up by Souths after the Panthers let him go.

I think this was probably the shortest sentence possible to still show the NRL are serious. I have some sympathy for Lenui. I’m not sure if he’s very bright and he looked really stressed before the game. I’m not excusing his racist slur, it is disgusting, just feel some compassion for him.

It was seriously dumb of Lenui to accept an interview and seriously stupid by the Roosters media managers to let it happen.
