TROY DODDS

A

fter looking the goods earlier in the season, the wheels have fallen off St George-Illawarra like a cheap barbeque.

They may sit just two points outside the top eight but with a poor for and against and four straight losses, it’s hard to see them making a late charge.

If they are to make some sort of a statement, their chance comes this Friday night against a Penrith side that bounced back into winning form last weekend with a hard fought 20-14 disposal of the Roosters.

It was far from clinical from Penrith but the confidence they’d get out of that win – especially without Nathan Cleary – would have been enormous.

Cleary has again been named in the squad for this match at Suncorp Stadium, but whether he plays is another matter. The halfback is right to go, but whether you risk

FRIDAY, AUGUST 13 | 6.00PM | SUNCORP STADIUM | REFEREE: BEN CUMMINS that vulnerable shoulder in a game that doesn’t alter Penrith’s top four aspirations is the conundrum facing the coaching staff at present.

It’s almost certain we’re headed for a Panthers v Rabbitohs showdown in week one of the Finals no matter what happens in the final month of the competition.

Adding to the confidence Ivan Cleary would have in the status quo, Matt Burton showed significant improvement last week, playing probably his best game in Penrith colours to help the side to victory. It was clear the Panthers missed Nathan Cleary’s game management towards the end of the contest, but that will come with more time for the likes of Burton and Jarome Luai.

Whatever halves combination Cleary ends up going with, it’ll get the job done.

As much as we’d like to see Penrith demolishing sides like they were at the start

of the season, it’s quite clear Ivan Cleary is taking the slow and steady approach at present. You don’t earn any extra competition points by thrashing sides in August, it’s all about ensuring you have a healthy, positive side on the park when the big games arrive. Cleary has a side that is rarely down in confidence, so that’s an aspect he doesn’t have to work on significantly. And as for the healthy squad, there’s every chance Penrith will have every player available come the first week of the Finals.

So what about this Dragons team?

Try as they might – and you can’t fault their effort in most games – they just don’t have the cattle to be winning big games.

They’ve conceded 484 points this season, double that of Penrith, and just don’t have the discipline and patience required to build what’s required to be a consistent winning side.

PANTHERS

KAYO FOX LEAGUE TRIPLE M ABC 702

The broken leg to Ben Hunt was perhaps the final straw for the Dragons’ Finals chances – he’d been one of their best players in recent times and without his guidance it’s hard to see the side doing much over the last month of the regular season.

Tariq Sims is also missing due to suspension, but the Panthers will be without Kurt Capewell who also found himself on the charge sheet last weekend.

Meantime in a big blow for Penrith, Api Koroisau will miss the game after failing to have a contrary conduct charge overturned at the judiciary on Tuesday night.

The Dragons just don’t have enough tries in them to outscore Penrith in this one. I’m expecting a tight first half but the Panthers should put Anthony Griffin’s men away in the second. They’re just too professional to let this one slip.

Tip: Panthers by 16.

WITH THE MASKED PANTHER

API LOSES BID TO PLAY ! Panthers coach Ivan Cleary is none from one in his new legal career after failing to get Api Koroisau off a contrary conduct charge at the judiciary on Tuesday night. Cleary opted to represent his number nine in what was essentially a throw at the stumps given Koroisau was facing a week out regardless of his plea. Panthers officials remain perplexed at why their hooker was charged; they legitimately feel it was a nothing incident that was just part and parcel of the game.

Api Koroisau has been suspended.

Photo: NRL Photos.

! Kurt Capewell will sit this weekend out after copping an early guilty plea to a Dangerous Throw charge early in last week’s win over the Roosters. Capewell’s previous record meant he was facing a one week ban no matter what he did, unless he fought the charge and won, which was deemed unlikely. Fellow forward Liam Martin was also charged out of last week’s game but only copped a monetary penalty. ! Penrith’s digital team posted the singing of last week’s victory song by the players without vision, given the strict rules in place around mask wearing indoors. While players and officials go above and beyond to follow the protocols, nobody wanted to risk somebody getting up in arms over a minor slip-up during the song. The victory tune was published with audio only.

Spotted: Penrith coach Ivan Cleary watching the start of the Storm v Sea Eagles clash at Suncorp Stadium from the sideline, obviously doing a little research given he’ll likely face one or both teams during the playoffs, or perhaps even in the biggest of games in October.

! Penrith coach Ivan Cleary certainly hasn’t lost his sense of humour during the Queensland relocation. When fronting last week’s post-match press conference, he was called Nathan by a journalist. He quickly corrected him, before noting, “most of the questions are about Nathan anyway”.

! Tevita Pangai Junior’s new team mates have rallied around the big forward after a devastating personal blow last week.

Pangai Junior and his partner lost their unborn baby, rattling the 25-year-old who left the Penrith camp immediately. The tragedy meant he didn’t make his debut for the Panthers as planned last weekend.

He’s been named on the extended bench to take on the Dragons and Penrith officials will liaise with him this week over whether he takes the field.

! Penrith’s newest debutant, Taylan May (pictured), has the nickname Tiny. At 181cm tall, he hardly lives up to the name, so where does it come from? “That comes from when I was born and from growing up,” the 19-year-old said. “No one really knew my real name, they always thought it was Tiny. My dad nicknamed me Tiny because I was super small growing up. I shot up in Year 12 and started to get a bit taller, but it’s always been my name... it will be stuck with me.”

!

! Last Saturday’s Roosters v Panthers match was the second most watched program of the day on Foxtel. An average of 259,000 viewers tuned in to the Fox League broadcast and Andrew Voss’ call.

It was only pipped by the Sea Eagles v Storm blockbuster, which attracted 269,000 viewers. The latter game also picked up 266,000 viewers on Channel Nine, which is now broadcasting Saturday night football through to the end of the season. ! Happy birthday to injured Panthers winger Brian To’o, who turns 23 next week.

Taylan May also has a birthday next week – he turns 20. ! Heard a rumour I should know about?

TAYLAN’S ONE BIG DEBUT REGRET NATHAN TAYLOR

T

aylan May is the name on everyone’s lips this week after enjoying one of the best NRL debuts by a Panther in several years.

The 19-year-old local junior got the surprise call-up late last week after Brent Naden was scratched and, despite the limited preparation and lack of footy recently, was a standout in his very first game.

And while most kids who make their NRL debut get to do it in front of a packed house with family and friends watching on, May had to do it all alone with 50,000 empty seats surrounding him.

“Obviously I wish they were there, especially my family and close friends because they’ve been with me through it all, but it is what it is,” May told Extra Time on Tuesday.

“But I felt pretty good out there… coach and the boys had faith in me and they trusted me, which made it easier.

“Coach made me feel comfortable and the boys made me feel comfortable. I knew they had my back, so it just made everything easier.”

Not even his older brother, Panthers utility Tyrone May, was able to watch the

game from the stands due to strict health and safety protocols in Brisbane last week.

Fortunately Tyrone, who is currently sidelined with a knee injury, was still a huge part of his little brother’s debut – handing him his first NRL jersey prior to the match while also speaking from the heart about what Taylan, affectionately known as ‘Tiny’, means to him.

The video of May’s jersey presentation was released online last Sunday evening, garnering thousands of views and plenty of tears.

“It was different to see that side of him, just hearing him say things like he loves me. He doesn’t really tell me that much, so it was pretty cool to hear… I didn’t know he had it in him,” May said of Tyrone’s emotional speech.

“It’s crazy, I remember watching his debut [in 2017]. He’s taught me a lot of things throughout pre-season and all that, and when we were little.

“Hopefully we can play together one day.

I just have to keep on training hard and just do the little things… whatever happens, happens.”

With Origin winger Brian To’o still sidelined for several weeks with an ankle injury, fans can look forward to seeing plenty more of Penrith’s newest sensation over the coming weeks.

Penrith’s dream of a NSW Cup premiership has been taken away again.

one of them has played some NSW Cup. From Friday’s squad to play St GeorgeIllawarra, Brent Naden, Moses Leota, Matthew Eisenhuth, Mitch Kenny, J’maine Hopgood, Jaeman Salmon, Matt Burton

and Izack Tago have needed NSW Cup this year.

The 21 squad members have played 68 seasons combined in the NSW Cup – or an average of three seasons each. And that’s

before you include the other abandoned lower grade competitions.

All of it plays a crucial role in rugby league education and development. You can’t erode the foundations for two years and expect the house on top to be unaffected.

So, what’s the solution? With no World Cup now, should there be some sort of Summer League? Abbreviate it. Experiment with it. Just do it.

Fox League’s Darcie McDonald was straight on it this week, tweeting; “When the lockdown is lifted @NSWRL should host a weekend carnival for the NSW and Ron Massey sides. Ensure a recruitment rep from every NRL club is present and strongly encourage them to pick players they can offer a train and trial deal – or better yet – a contract.”

Melbourne star Nicho Hynes was straight on it, himself a mature age debutant; “Well said! Great idea… I think it’s so important that the mid 20s players get some sort of look in for their resilience and dedication for continuing to follow their dreams of becoming an NRL player.”

Given all this, a huge congratulations to case in point Makahesi Makatoa. At 28, he’ll make his NRL debut for Parramatta on Saturday night. He’s spent nine seasons in the NSW Cup at Canterbury, Mounties, the Warriors and Eels. His last game of footy was two months ago in mid-June. Go well Big Mak!

I

t wasn’t the sexiest rugby league story of the week but it could be the most serious.

The New South Wales Rugby League has abandoned its five Major Competitions, including the NSW Cup or second tier competition in this State.

It’s hardly a big deal in comparison with the really serious COVID complications so many of us face in our daily lives. It’s a huge deal when you look at the situation through NRL blinkers.

It’s the second year running the feeder competition to the NRL has been wiped out by the restrictions associated with COVID. On one level it’s sad for those fringe players, dream chasers and lower grade knockabouts who, for various reasons, crave that 80 minutes of ‘reserve grade’ each week.

On a deeper level, how will the NRL suffer as a result down the track?

Much like the nation might.

South Sydney coach Wayne Bennett pulled no punches a few weeks ago when he described the lack of lower grade football as a serious issue for the game right now. He said clubs were being forced to pick players under–prepared and before their time. He said crucial years of development were being lost and we’ll only see the result in time.

To put it all in perspective, let’s look at this week’s Penrith squad of 21. Every single

CRICHTON READY FOR COMEBACK NATHAN TAYLOR

S

tephen Crichton will make his return from suspension tonight while halfback Nathan Cleary is rated a 50-50 chance of taking the field.

Cleary hasn’t worn a Panthers jumper since Round 15 against the Roosters after suffering a shoulder dislocation with the NSW Blues a week later. Since then, the 23-year-old has undergone intense physiotherapy to strengthen his shoulder in order to make a successful return to the paddock in time for the Finals.

For the second consecutive week, the playmaker was named on coach Ivan Cleary’s extended bench with a return to the NRL imminent – perhaps as soon as tonight against St George-Illawarra in Brisbane.

Speaking with the media via Zoom on Tuesday, star centre Crichton said Cleary is making leaps and bounds in his recovery.

“He’s real professional with what he does with his rehab. I guess he has to get through the

week this week, and it’s up to his confidence and the coach’s decision for when he comes back,” Crichton said.

It’s understood Cleary has been ticking every box in rehab and could’ve featured last weekend had it been a crucial match like a Semi Final. However, with Penrith well entrenched in the top four, timing more than anything will determine the former St Dominic’s student’s comeback.

“Coach has heaps of confidence in the players that we have right now. We’re definitely not rushing back our injured players, we’re definitely being smart about that,” Crichton said.

After missing last week’s gritty 20-14 victory over the Roosters due to suspension, Crichton is also ready to make an impact on his side before the important games roll around.

“It was a good game, the boys really narrowed it down and stuck to the game plan. It was a game we needed to win especially against a top four team,” Crichton said.

“It burns every time you don’t get that chance to go out with the boys. I definitely used last week to prepare myself mentally and physically, and I’m definitely keen to get back.”

lang on league R

emember the names Izack Tago, Taylan May, J’maine Hopgood and Lindsay Smith, for they are the next wave of superstars from the Panthers’ junior development production line.

All four players will be relied on heavily in 2022 with the departure of Kurt Capewell and Matt Burton at the end of the 2021 season.

All four have had a taste of first grade this year which could turn into an ‘all you can eat buffet’ next season when several first grade starting and bench spots are up for grabs.

Of the quartet I’d have to say Tago and May look the most likely to find a starting position in the Panthers Top 17 with Hopgood and Smith not far behind.

At 19 Taylan May only made his first grade debut on the wing against the Roosters last weekend and what a debut it was. May ran for 194 metres, made six tackle breaks and two line breaks. What was equally as impressive is that he didn’t look out of place against quality opposition. His style somewhat resembles that of Brian To’o and he has speed to burn.

Izack Tago, also only 19, is a secondrow forward who has also made a good impression on supporters and coaching staff alike with his kamikaze style runs on the edges and in the middle of the ruck.

Tago plays like he’s just drunk a litre of

rocket fuel and he has an elusive step to add to his arsenal.

The next to impress on the list is J’maine Hopgood, his improvement over his four first grade games has been impressive.

The former Harvey Bay Seagull, at 22, is the old man in the group but the plucky forward is tough and he tackles anything that moves.

Finally, 21 year-old prop Lindsay Collins is the man mountain of the quartet. He stands 194cm high, weighs in at 106kg and is still growing. Athletic and strong, it’s only a matter of time before Collins breaks into one of the best forward packs in the competition on a regular basis.

What game I’m looking forward to: It’s the Knights versus the Sharks, ninth versus tenth. The Knights are on 20 points with Cronulla on 18. If they lose the Sharks can kiss the Top 8 goodbye and start planning for season 2022 under incoming coach Craig Fitzgibbon.

My tips for the week: Storm, Panthers, Roosters, Bunnies, Cowboys, Sea Eagles, Warriors, Knights.

The final word: The amount of whinging Roosters coach Trent Robinson does after a loss is downright embarrassing.

Never one to give any credit to the opposition, he turns his attention to the referees who somehow always rob him of victory. Cry me a river Robbo! You’re becoming a bore.

Brought to you by

joel caine A

fter handing out gold, silver and bronze to the NRL’s best performed players and coaches this season, I thought I would wrap up the Olympics with one last batch of medals.

As proven in Tokyo, this year has shot some young stars from obscurity to immediate stardom.

We saw Ariarne Titmus, Zac StubbletyCook and skateboarder Keegan Palmer have their lives changed overnight as gold medals turned them from relative unknowns to national heroes.

Taking a look at the 2021 NRL season, the same can be said for some bright lights who have had their chance to debut this year and make a name for themselves in first grade football.

Claiming gold, is none other than Warriors wonder-kid Reece Walsh.

The 18-year-old fullback was selected in the Queensland Origin side after just seven games at NRL level.

While an injury ruled him out of making his state debut, he’s dominated for his club, scoring seven tries in his 11 games.

Perhaps the biggest telling point of his immediate impact is the fact that the club moved former captain and Dally M winner Roger Tuivasa-Scheck to the wing to get him in the line-up.

The Warriors are literally all in on this

kid who hasn’t even once in his life stepped foot in New Zealand yet.

For mine, he might just be ahead of both Kalyn Ponga and Benji Marshall at the same age, he has a seriously bright future ahead of him.

Claiming silver, is Sydney’s Sam Walker.

The young half was always touted to get a run this year, but he was meant to be eased in alongside the company of NRL legends Luke Keary, Jake Friend, Boyd Cordner and Brett Morris.

Obviously, things haven’t gone to plan for coach Trent Robinson who was forced to throw him into a sink or swim scenario. Well, he has swum.

In his 15 games, Walker has guided the Roosters to 10 wins. For context of what he’s done, in fewer games than the incumbent NSW halfback Mitch Moses, he has nine more try contributions than him.

A mind-blowing start to his NRL career.

Taking out bronze is Manly’s surprise packet Josh Schuster.

Look at the size of this kid, the versatility and his supreme skills should almost guarantee that this boy plays 200+ NRL games.

He’s a bullet proof signing, and who knows, he genuinely may be a difference making x-factor come September for the Sea Eagles.

extra minutes ! Crowds will be back at NRL matches this weekend after the lockdown in much of Queensland was lifted.

Games will also head back to regional areas with Moreton Daily Stadium at Redcliffe to host a double header and Sunshine Coast Stadium also back in action. “We’re really looking forward to welcoming fans back to our games in Round 22,” said NRL CEO Andrew Abdo.

“I’m particularly excited to see Redcliffe hosting a double header on Sunday and the Sunshine Coast having the opportunity to host two games across the round. These are excellent outcomes for fans in both regions.” ! Brisbane halfback Brodie Croft has signed with UK Super League club Salford next year. “Brodie has a terrific work ethic and has given his all since arriving at the Broncos,” Broncos football boss Ben Ikin said. “Everyone at the club wishes Brodie and his young family all the best in the future.” ! Also heading to England next year is Canterbury centre Will Hopoate, who has signed with St Helens.

It’s Women in League round this weekend and various clubs will be doing different things to honour the women that make a huge impact on the game. Among the highlights was the special jersey Canberra wore against Melbourne on Thursday. The design features over 1000 names of women who contribute immensely to rugby league as part of the Raiders Valkyrie
