HALVES GET JOB DONE FOR PENRITH NATHAN TAYLOR

J

arome Luai said Nathan Cleary’s courageous performance, playing with a busted shoulder in Origin II, inspired him to get back up and keep playing last Friday night.

The Panthers will be without their star halves paring for several weeks, at least, after Luai became the club’s latest casualty, suffering a medial ligament injury in his left knee during the second half of Penrith’s thrilling win over Parramatta.

Speaking with the media after the match, the 24-year-old was confident he only suffered a cork to his knee and that ice and rest would fix it, however scans the following day revealed much worse – ruling the champion Blues five-eighth out of Origin III and potentially several weeks for the Panthers.

“It’s just a cork, just a cork. I just need to ice it up and have a couple of days off… it should be good,” Luai declared post-game.

“When I was offloading to Api, my foot got a bit caught and twisted in that tackle, so hopefully a bit of ice and rest will help it.”

Luai was down and noticeably injured for several minutes after the play, which resulted in the Koroisau try beside the posts. After receiving attention and plenty of strapping, the classy Samoan international remained on the field to help guide Penrith to their 14th win of the season.

Luai said he wasn’t thinking the worst immediately after the injury, but instead wanted to channel a teammate who showed true courage and determination just days earlier.

“I was thinking about Nathan (Cleary) a bit out there, actually; just more courageous thoughts,” Luai said.

“He probably played on with a lot worse injury than I did, so I thought to myself I can do a really good job for my team here if I stick solid.

“My knee was a bit uncomfortable in certain positions, but I wanted to do a good job for my team, stay out there and help them with my leadership.”

Luai’s presence paid off late in the match, with Penrith sealing the 13-12 victory cour-

tesy of a Matt Burton field goal in the 79th minute.

Burton’s one-pointer was more than a year in the making after the talented Dubbo product famously missed four field goals in a golden point match against Newcastle last season.

History looked set to repeat itself when Burton’s first attempt to break a 12-all deadlock hit the post, but he hit his second attempt perfectly to put the Panthers in

front with a minute to go in a match that was always destined to go down to the wire.

Burton said the Newcastle game last year and him hitting the post again last Friday night didn’t deter him from having another crack at glory.

“The feeling of winning just drives you to step up and keep going… as soon as I got the second chance, I thought this is the time and it paid off,” he said.

“I never really hit many field goals but to

get my first one in the NRL is pretty special, it’s a good feeling.”

Luai said he was proud of his teammate for stepping up to the plate and nailing the match-winner.

“You could see in Burto’s eyes that he wanted that moment and we all have faith in him,” he said.

“He practices those kicks and that’s what practice does – it makes you ready for the big moments. I’m so proud of Burto.”

WITH THE MASKED PANTHER

NO RISKS FOR JAROME !

Jarome Luai is hopeful of returning for next weekend’s game against the Warriors but the club will take no chances, even if it means fielding a side without both of their halves. The 24-year-old is currently in a knee brace after suffering a minor medial ligament injury in his left knee last weekend. The injury will rule him out of Origin III, and club officials see no reason to risk further damage heading into the business end of the season.

the Eels, most likely to get a feel for the game given the unusual circumstance of playing in front of a closed stadium. He was back in his coach’s box for the second half.

There could still be hope of Craig Gower receiving his much-deserved 2003 Dally M, which he missed out on due to a player strike. Plenty of whispers are doing the rounds suggesting the investigation undertaken by the NRL was sub-par, with key figures not questioned – including The Daily Telegraph’s Dean Ritchie, who was the judge for the final round match between Penrith and Parramatta in 2003, won by the Panthers. Gower played a starring role.

This story may have some life yet.

The Panthers were one step ahead of eager fans last Friday – blocking the fences that would given desperate supporters the opportunity to watch the match against the Eels from outside of the ground.

Former Panthers five-eighth Jamie Soward made his NRL commentary debut with the 2GB Continuous Call Team last Sunday afternoon, and did a stunning job. While Soward has been chasing his commentary dream for a while now and has called full games in the lower grades, plenty were surprised at just how natural he sounded as a lead commentator. He’ll be back on 2GB this weekend and may have just found his post-footy calling.

I told you months and months ago that Kurt Capewell wanted to head home to Queensland, and it was one of the driving factors behind his decision to sign with Brisbane from next season. The Queensland Origin star did ponder an offer from the Panthers, but once the Broncos’ offer was on the table, everything fell into place.

!

Api Koroisau will make his State of Origin debut next Wednesday night after being picked on the bench for the Blues.

He joins Brian To’o, Isaah Yeo and Liam Martin in the New South Wales team for Origin II, while Kurt Capewell will shift from the centres to the forwards for Queensland.

With the likely stadium development looming, it got me thinking about the need for a dedicated museum of sorts to recognise the club’s incredible history over the past 50-plus years. The club has dabbled in such concepts before but it’s never really taken off. Imagine all the memorabilia that is probably sitting in storage somewhere, and there will be more to come if the stadium redevelopment does happen. Not to mention the incredible photographs, stories and trophies that sit in different parts of the club and Academy. Surely we could find somewhere at the Leagues Club to build a dedicated museum that properly respected the football club’s remarkable past?

The Panthers have reeled in James Fisher-Harris on a new four-year contract extension. Talks had stalled some time ago with both parties far apart on money expectations, but as expected a deal was done in the end. It’ll mean Fish is at the Panthers until at least the end of the 2026 season. “It’s every player’s dream to stay at one club for a long time. I’m blessed to have the opportunity to do it at a club like this,” Fisher-Harris said. “Now it’s my turn to do my job, put the team first and do everything I can to repay the faith the club has shown in me.”

Greatest hits and biggest flops: 30 years of recruitment at Penrith

lang on league Sauce was the original metreeater and always played tough on his way to 74 tries in 158 games.

5. Matt Adamson (1993-2001) – Came from Parramatta and his career really took off once coach Royce Simmons moved him from fullback into the forwards. Adamson played 157 games and represented NSW (2001).

Honourable mentions include Kevin Kingston, Tyrone Peachey, Jamie Soward, Paul Clarke, John Cross, Scott Sattler, Preston Campbell, Luke Walsh and Martin Lang.

Now the Top 5 Buys that didn’t quite work out the way everyone hoped.

1. Gary Freeman (1994-95) – Struggled to make an impact in his two years at the club.

2. Trevor Gillmeister (1994) – The Axe left after one season to join the Crushers.

3. Timana Tahu (2011) – Lasted just seven games in an injury riddled season. He even played lock!

4. Zac Hardaker (2016) – The Englishman barely made an impression in his 11 games with the club.

5. Jamal Idris (2014-15) – Had a terrific first season before petering out in his second year.

Honourable mentions include Mark McGaw, Yileen Gordon, Arana Taumata, Daine Laurie, Adam Woolnough and Ashley Gordon.

Well I’m sure many of you don’t agree with my picks but that’s the beauty of rugby league. Everyone has an opinion.

My Tips for the week: SeaEagles, Rabbitohs, Roosters, Sharks The final word: It looks like players don’t quite realise the seriousness of this latest lockdown.

Despite being elevated to ‘bubblelike restrictions’ and knowing one wrong move could shut down the entire NRL competition, players from both the Bulldogs and Dragons took their heads off, put on pumpkins and broke strict lockdown conditions. I hope the journos that screamed bloody murder when Nathan Cleary did his infamous Tik Tok video last year treat these latest indiscretions with the same indignant ferocity.

O

ver the past 30 years the Panthers have made some astute signings which have improved the team and made the club better as a whole.

They have also signed some players which haven’t quite worked out as well as they’d hoped.

This week as the Panthers take a well-earned break, I thought I’d take a look at both sides of the coin.

Let’s start with the Top 5 Best Buys since 1991.

1. Ryan Girdler (1993-2004) – In 1993 Girdler came to the Panthers from Illawarra and broke all sorts of point scoring records in his 12 years with the club.

2. Petero Civoniceva (20082011) – Petero arrived in 2008, the year after the Panthers won the wooden spoon and for the next four years showed the way with his leadership skills both on-and-off the field.

3. Luke Priddis (2002-2008) – Was the best hooker Penrith had since Royce Simmons and played a big part in Penrith winning their second premiership in 2003.

4. Josh Mansour (2012-2020) –

A two-horse race? Don’t be so sure

joel caine T

he race for the 2021 NRL premiership has long been considered a twohorse race, with the only potential champion likely to be Melbourne or Penrith.

While it’s all fair and reasonable to predict we’ll see a sequel to a Storm v Panthers final this year, it’s simply too early to rule out the sides still well and truly in the battle in the Rabbitohs, Eels and Sea Eagles to name a few.

Melbourne and Penrith have the best squads on paper and have been by far the top two sides this season – but the NRL season is a marathon, a long and gruelling campaign.

Speaking of marathons, 10 years ago I decided to lace up and try my luck running the 42.1 kilometres. 35 of the 42 in I was cruising, thinking, ‘How easy is this? ,’ and that I had it beat.

Then it happened – I hit the wall – and while I got there in the end, the last seven kilometres were twice as hard as the first 35 combined.

That wall may being hit now at the foot of the Mountains, with the Panthers losing both Nathan Cleary and Jarome Luai to injury within the past week as their form begins to falter at club level.

With the attention off the Panthers, it’s well and truly been shone on the piping hot Storm side, who are on track to break historical scoring records with their high-

powered offence.

But looking back, the team that holds the record is the 2001 Parramatta side that poured on 839 points in a single season.

Guess what? Even they weren’t able to outscore Newcastle on Grand Final day. ’01 isn’t the only example of a sure thing being beaten come Grand Final day.

WINTER SALE!

Remember 1995 and the Bulldogs coming from nowhere to beat the all-conquering Manly side?

Hell, in 2005 we had the Grand Final locked in as the Dragons against the Eels, but both fell in home Preliminary Finals, with the Tigers and Cowboys knocking them off respectively.

The crux of this is, despite what appears to be obvious, it rarely ever is in the NRL. The team that wins it will need to time their run into September starting now, we’ll see if the Storm can keep it up and if the Panthers can get back on track.

We may have a more exciting finish to the season than some predict.

Newcastle will host Game III of the State of Origin series for the first time in Origin history after the Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) approved the relocation of the game from Stadium Australia. Thanks to approval from the NSW Government, and support through its tourism and major events agency Destination NSW, the July 14 match will be played in front of up to 20,000 fans or 75 per cent of seated capacity. Fans located in Greater Sydney, including the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong

and Shellharbour will not be permitted to purchase tickets. Newcastle represents a safe option for the game with no community transmission, allows fans to attend live and ensures NSW will host a home game during the series. NRL Chief Executive Andrew Abdo said the game would create history in Newcastle hosting the series for the first time in the Origin era. “This is a reward for the people of Newcastle and Hunter region,’’ he said. “These fans are among the most passionate fans in our game. They turn out and support the Knights every week and we are excited to bring Ampol State of Origin to Newcastle,’’ he said.

The COVID lockdown means the NSW Women’s Premiership will move straight to a Grand Final between Central Coast and Mounties.
