ith only two regular season rounds remaining in the 2021 NRL Premiership, I thought I’d get in early and name my Team of the Year. As usual I don’t expect everyone to agree with me but that’s what I love about rugby league, everyone can have an opinion.

So without further ado, here is my 2021 Team of the Year: 1. Tom Trbojevic (Sea Eagles) – This is a no-brainer, Manly are so much better with him in the side.

2. Brian To’o (Panthers) – Runs like an extra forward and can also score spectacular tries ‘to’o’.

3. Justin Olam (Storm) – Can be a bit of a goose but he can sure back it up.

Powerful runner.

4. Joseph Manu (Roosters) – So talented he can play anywhere but centre is his best position.

5. Josh Addo-Carr (Storm) – Just speed to burn and his positional play is excellent.

6. Jarome Luai (Panthers) – Has been quiet since Origin but is still the best five-eighth in the comp.

7. Nathan Cleary (Panthers) – Cleary is in a class of his own at the moment, he’s the complete halfback.

8. James Fisher-Harris (Panthers) – Runs hard, runs fast, runs straight. Never takes a backward step.

Five Panthers highlight my Team of the Year

13.Isaah Yeo (Panthers) – A workhouse who does plenty of tackling and has become a great ball-player as well.

There you have it peeps, my ‘Dally M’ Team of the Year, so to speak, with five Panthers players in it. I think you’ll agree those five players deserve their selection.

Rookie of the Year: Reece Walsh – A natural gifted footballer. He’s fast, has a great step, is a ball player and very elusive.

If he could kick goals he’d be perfect. All this and he’s only 19 years-old and still learning the game. Scary!

Coach of the Year: Trent Robinson – While I’m not a fan of his whinging whenever the Chooks lose a game, I am a big fan of his coaching and the way he can keep his team focused and playing good footy despite losing a copious amount of quality players.

My Tips for the week: Knights, Raiders, Rabbitohs, Dragons, Sharks, Storm, SeaEagles, Panthers.

Jarome Luai and Nathan Cleary are the best halves in the NRL. Photo: NRL Photos.

9. Brandon Smith (Storm) – You have to be good to beat players like Api and Harry. The ‘Cheese’ is the real deal.

10.Payne Haas (Brisbane) – Haas is powerhouse, big, strong and always difficult to tackle.

11.David Fifita (Titans) – Fifita is a wrecking ball when he gets going. Almost impossible to stop.

12.Angus Crichton (Roosters) – Can hit a hole, attracts defenders and can offload in traffic.

The final word: There is no way that the NRL are ready to introduce a 17th team into the competition for the 2023 season. The game is absolutely bleeding money and needs time to stabilise before another side is introduced. 2024 should be the absolute earliest date!

f Ivan Cleary wants to motivate his side ahead of this Sunday’s clash against Wests Tigers, all he needs to do is show them the most recent episode of the Fox Sports documentary ‘Tales from Tiger Town’.

A huge feature of the episode is the Tigers knocking off Penrith at Leichhardt Oval back in Round 13.

Michael Maguire, his team and Tigers supporters took enormous joy out of defeating a Penrith side that resembled a reserve grade outfit, as the State of Origin period began to take hold.

It was a dream for the Tigers.

This Sunday could well be a nightmare.

Penrith come into this match at fullstrength, with the returns of James FisherHarris and Brian To’o adding to what was already a strong side thanks to several key returns in recent weeks.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 29 | 4.05PM | MORETON DAILY STADIUM | REFEREE: MATT CECCHIN The Panthers are primed for the Finals, tuning things up and ready to go up the couple of gears the coach says is left in them.

The Tigers meanwhile are preparing to pack up their hub in Brisbane as the Finals evade them yet again, with last Saturday’s loss to Cronulla putting the final nail in their 2021 coffin.

To make matters worse, they’ll be without perhaps their one shining light – Adam Doueihi, who has picked up a knee injury and joins the likes of James Tamou, Daine Laurie and Luke Garner on the sideline.

Penrith made their critics step up and take notice with an impressive 25-12 win over South Sydney at Suncorp Stadium last Friday night. While they were down 12-0 early, once the Panthers increased the intensity – particularly in the second half – the Rabbitohs simply couldn’t go with

them. It bodes well for when the two sides meet again in the Finals early next month.

The reality is this Sunday afternoon’s game in Redcliffe could get ugly for the Tigers.

They now have nothing to play for but pride, and they haven’t shown a whole heap of that when it’s mattered this season.

Games like this often don’t play out as the form guide might suggest, but it’s hard to see the Tigers matching Penrith. Not when they concede 50 points to a team like Cronulla.

The Tigers just don’t have the players that take games by the scruff of the neck and show real ownership. They constantly let each other down, whether it’s a sloppy missed tackle, a poor kick or a misguided pass. They lack connection, something that Maguire will have to fix next year if he’s to survive long-term at the troubled club.

PANTHERS

CHANNEL 9 FOX LEAGUE ABC 702 TRIPLE M

Penrith present the exact opposite at present. Nathan Cleary’s game management is right up there with the best in the NRL, while the team plays for each other for the full 80 minutes – egos brushed aside as winning became a habit.

Cleary tormented Souths, and particularly Josh Mansour, with his kicking game last Friday night and we should see the same approach this Sunday. The Tigers will crumble under pressure if Cleary and co are as relentless as they were against the Bunnies for 60-odd minutes. Isaah Yeo has a chance to rip the middle to shreds.

Are the Tigers any chance? In a two horse race, anything can happen. The Tigers do produce more offloads than any other team in the competition – but they just can’t make them stick.

Penrith should be way too classy.

Tip: Panthers by 40.

WITH THE MASKED PANTHER

STAINES STAYS SIDELINED ! Only injury will see Charlie Staines fight his way back into the Penrith team for the business end of the season. Coach Ivan Cleary has all but conceded Staines is unlikely to feature as part of the top 17 for the Finals, after he was dropped a few weeks back. At only 20-years-old, Staines will have plenty of time to perfect his game over the coming seasons. It’s understood Cleary is very keen to run with the best possible back three under the high ball and will go into the Finals with Dylan Edwards, Stephen Crichton and Brian To’o in the key positions. With Matt Burton and Paul Momirovski in the centres, Brent Naden is of course also in the mix and finds himself ahead of Staines. ! Penrith captain Nathan Cleary has put his face to the NRL’s new COVID-19 vaccination campaign. The new advertisements feature high profile players from across the NRL explaining why they’re choosing to get the jab. !

The NRL has conceded that Brent Naden’s try against Souths last weekend should have been pulled up by The Bunker, with an obstruction play in the lead-up missed by the officials. But Head of Football Graham Annesley has confirmed the controversial ‘downtown’ penalty against Souths at a crucial stage of the game was 100 per cent correct. Contrary to popular belief, the decision was made by the touch judge, not interference from The Bunker.

! The Panthers have secured the services of Tyrone May on a fresh one-year deal. The 25-year-old continues to provide strong utility value for the Panthers and his role could prove even more crucial next year when Matt Burton heads to Canterbury. !

Spotted: An hilarious moment on Fox League’s coverage of last Friday night’s double header, when Panthers legend Greg Alexander declared Jake Trbojevic was a “Tooheys man” after being awarded the VB Hard Earned Man of the Match in the Manly v Raiders match. Cooper Cronk couldn’t contain his laughter as he tried to remind Brandy that Trbojevic was almost definitely a VB drinker, given who was sponsoring the broadcast.

! The Panthers are unlikely to rest too many players against Parramatta next weekend despite the result having no impact on what happens in week one of the Finals.

Coach Ivan Cleary feels most of his key men have had stints on the sideline anyway, most through niggling injuries. There may be a few who get a break, but there certainly won’t be a plethora of stars sitting on the sideline.

! The Masked Panther is a Fox League man but I turned over to Channel Nine to see some of their post-match coverage last Friday night. No surprise that Phil Gould and Andrew Johns were complaining about referees. To make matters worse, they were whinging about the ‘downtown penalty’, admitting it was probably correct but still shouldn’t have been awarded. No wonder Nine is looking to shake things up next season. ! He may have been terrorised under the high ball and left the field with a knee injury, but Souths winger Josh Mansour certainly felt the love from his former team mates last Friday night. Mansour was spotted chatting with a bunch of Penrith players after the high quality game at Suncorp Stadium.

! With players having a little more freedom in Queensland at present and the weather warming up, it’s no surprise that the beach has become the go-to destination for plenty of Panthers players. It’s become the perfect place to relax and muck around during the week, with plenty of the fun (and muscles) posted on Instagram. ! Heard a rumour? I don’t keep secrets but I do protect my sources.

ongratulations to the mighty Melbourne Storm and their 19 wins on the trot to join Jack Gibson’s 1975 Roosters, it’s truly a magical achievement.

A lot of teams have graced the NSWRL, ARL and NRL football fields in this time, so what they have achieved can’t be underestimated.

On magic and magicians – whether it’s David Copperfield, David Blaine or Penn and Teller – their modus operandi is to have you focused on something else when really the trick is happening elsewhere.

Whilst coach Craig Bellamy was clearly proud of what his side were about to do, he also seemed a little uncomfortable with it.

Maybe because he knows deep down that the team with the longest streak last year in Penrith were very quickly forgotten about when his team were lifting the trophy.

He also knows that whilst everyone is focused and looking at his team, in the background Nathan Cleary kept his unbeaten run in 2021 moving to 15 on the bounce, ending the Bunnies’ streak of 10 wins in the process.

The master coach will also recognise that the Panthers whipped a white-hot Bunnies side with 25 unanswered second half points – that being without the best winger and front rower in the comp as

The following players featured in their own trickery in a Round 20 team list disappearing act, with the Storm facing a Cleary, Fisher-Harris, Api Koroisau, To’o and Isaah Yeo-less outfit.

he heart and soul of the Panthers, James Fisher-Harris, makes his longawaited return for Penrith this Sunday following an eventful past month on a personal level.

Since the 25-year-old last played in Round 19 against the Broncos, he has left the Bubble, flown home to Sydney, watched his partner give birth to their second child, and then returned to Queensland to spend two weeks in hotel quarantine before reuniting with his Panthers teammates on the Sunshine Coast.

To say the 103kg prop is more than ready to return to the field is an understatement.

Panthers centre and teammate Stephen Crichton said Fisher-Harris is finally ready to strap on the boots and rip in.

“I’m pretty sure he’s sweet to play [this Sunday] and it’ll be good to have him back in our team,” he said.

“He’s one of our main forwards and it’ll be good for him to lock in our middle as well.

We’ll get a good go-forward with him playing in the middle, it’ll be heaps good.”

Before Fisher-Harris’ four-game absence, the Kiwi international was in Dally M Medal contention – averaging 173 running metres

work he puts out off the playing field as well as on it.

“We call him the ‘Mamba’ out here like Kobe Bryant because he’s always doing the extras just like Nathan [Cleary],” Crichton revealed.

“He’s one of the most hardworking players in our team. He’s always the one that wants to take that tough carry even when he’s tired. He just has an engine and wants to keep going and going.

“He’s one of those players that whenever he talks everyone stops and listens. He keeps quiet usually, but on the field he’s real demanding and everyone listens to what he says.”

With Fisher-Harris back in the line-up, Penrith will field a tremendously intimidating roster for this Sunday’s clash against the embattled Wests Tigers – vastly different to the one that suffered their first defeat of the season back in Round 13.

Crichton said the ‘statement win’ over the red-hot Rabbitohs last Friday has given his side a huge shot of confidence, a daunting prospect for Michael Maguire’s men.

“Beating a top three team in Souths, not everyone can do that, so there’s a good vibe around the place,” he said.

“We are getting our players back one by one… and there’s still room for improvement.”

REVENGE NOT PENRITH’S FOCUS NATHAN TAYLOR

D

espite several attempts to stir up some feelings heading into Sunday’s grudge match against the lowly Wests Tigers, Panthers star Matt Burton opted to go down the respectful route when chatting with reporters on Wednesday afternoon.

On a cold winter’s night back in early June, Penrith’s historic 12-game winning streak to start the season came to an abrupt end at the hands of the Tigers in what was a fiery and spiteful clash at Leichhardt Oval.

With seven players missing due to Origin commitments, one player suspended, a handful of debutants and a new halves pairing, losing to a hungry – bordering on vengeful – Tigers outfit has remained in the minds of Panthers fans since that chilly evening on June 4.

And while the supporter base hasn’t quite moved on and are desperate for some sweet revenge this weekend, the players seemingly have put it past them – well, publicly at least.

Speaking with Extra Time this week, centre Matt Burton – who was playing in the halves alongside Tyrone May back in Round 13 – played it safe when asked about

coming up against the Wests Tigers once again.

“Obviously the Tigers are a great side and we’re coming off a good win last week, so we just have to keep building as a side and keep turning up because it’s getting close to the Finals. We’re really looking forward to this weekend,” he said.

With the Tigers officially out of the Finals race after they had 50 put on them by Cronulla last weekend, Penrith have much larger fish to fry in the coming weeks, but they’ll still want to put in a professional performance on Sunday afternoon.

Burton said the 26-6 loss to Michael Maguire’s men stung, but he and his teammates that evening took plenty away from it.

“That one hurt but it’s another challenge for us this weekend and I’m really looking forward to it,” he said.

“I learned a lot out of that game, it was pretty hard having a lot of players out. A lot of us younger guys had to step up and take over and take control, and that was probably the biggest thing I learned out of that.

“They are a great side; they have a lot of talent there. We just have to focus on ourselves and keep building as a side heading into the Finals.”

this weekend, while James Fisher-Harris is back following the birth of his second child.

With the Panthers at full strength for the first time in months, neutral fans watching the game at Redcliffe are in for a treat.

“We sort of went on a downhill slope there for a bit and weren’t playing our best footy, but a lot of players have come back into the side and we’re heading in the direction that we want to,” Burton said.

Your Macca’s® favourites now delivered straight to your door.

ith respect to this great publication, may I pack The Western Weekender in the back of the car for a trip across town. East.

Remember when there was no 5k limit.

No checkpoints. No ‘Stay-At-Home’ orders. Well, forget all that and just imagine. We’ve paid the 50 bucks in tolls; we’ve resisted the $11 shroom mushroom lattes on house-made oat milk; we’ve tried not to perv at the lycra, lips and blokey bare chests. We’re here! Corner of Council and Birrell streets in Waverley. Look up and there they are – Arthur Beetson, aboard the shoulders of Boyd Cordner and Brad Fittler, with a smiling Anthony Minichiello watching on. It’s a real red, white and blue mural spanning almost 50 years of Easts.

Now the Sydney Roosters.

Funnily enough, it also represents the Nick Politis era. From the mid 70’s as a sponsor through to his Chairman’s role today. Politis isn’t one for attention or hyperbole. So, when he rated this year’s Sydney Roosters as the bravest in his time at the club, it deserves some attention and hyperbole.

The question has to be asked… How the hell are the Roosters sitting fourth?

Let’s work through all the setbacks, the excuses that aren’t being used.

Fresh from last year’s Origin success Jake Friend copped a head knock in Round 1 that would end his career. Another Origin

star Boyd Cordner never made it on the field at all. Add the serious knee injury to a decorated Brett Morris, and that is three Premiership winners forced into retirement.

Halfback Luke Keary will return but his knee blew out in Round 3. Queensland Origin forward Lindsay Collins followed.

Before we move away from the rep stars, Victor Radley has found a way to be charged five times and suspended for eight weeks. Angus Crichton is chasing him hard with five weeks in suspensions.

Joseph Suaalii was late to the party but early to leave, when a foot injury cost him the rest of the year. So too Billy Smith.

Of course there have been other suspensions and injuries, complicating matters for Trent Robinson.

For Friday against South Sydney, they’re missing Josh Morris (hamstring), Adam Keighran (HIA), Nat Butcher (knee) and Matt Ikuvalu (ankle).

Coach Robinson has genuine claims for Coach of the Year. Craig Bellamy’s record winning streak might cost him. 19 straight wins for Melbourne, just like Arthur Beetson’s 1975 Roosters.

Which brings us back to the corner of Council and Birrell. Big Artie’s spirit has been embodied by no one better than Jared Waerea-Hargreaves this season.

He’s missed only one game – when told to rest – and led the team by example.
