PANTHER RUMBLINGS

with the Masked Panther

GARTH TO TITANS? » Don’t be surprised to see Garth Bren-

nan’s name continue to be linked with the vacant coaching job at the Gold Coast Titans. While Kevin Walters and Geoff Toovey are the high profile candidates in the running to replace Neil Henry, Brennan has more than served his apprenticeship and is considered ready to step up.

I’m told he’s definitely keen on the role despite the logistical problems he’d likely face in moving to Queensland, and the Titans are definitely open to chatting to the premiership winning lower grade mentor. Brennan recently accepted a gig as New Zealand’s assistant coach for the Rugby League World Cup and is currently in charge of Penrith’s ISP NSW side.

» I first told you that Anthony Griffin

would be re-signed as Penrith coach way back at the start of the season, but things obviously went quiet as the club continued to struggle for form. Penrith’s senior management never went cold on Griffin however and they certainly still plan to offer him a contract extension, with some suggesting it’ll be an added two seasons, taking him to the end of 2020. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Panthers announce the deal before the season is over. Griffin is on the verge of becoming the first coach since John Lang in 2003-04 to take Penrith to back to back Finals campaigns.

» This year’s Merv Cartwright Medal night will be held on October 4.

» Penrith prop Reagan Campbell-Gillard

has admitted he might need a sponsorship from Soothers if the Panthers continue to win footy games. Campbell-Gillard is the man who leads Penrith’s team song after a win, however after seven victories on the trot – his voice is going a tad hoarse. “No one else knows how to lead the team song, so the throat is getting a bit dusty at the moment. Hopefully some Soothers can fix it,” he said. The 24-year-old was given the honour after former player turned staffer Shane Elford decided he didn’t want to do it anymore.

“Spud used to lead it for a while before he

It’s just stuck ever since,” he said.

DRAGONS

TROY DODDS @troydodds

F

or me, the key moment in Penrith’s gritty 26-22 win over Canberra at GIO Stadium last Sunday came in the 54th minute.

Jack Wighton took off down the western touchline with the game in the balance and a huge crowd cheering him on – the result seemed almost inevitable.

Then, the most unlikely of chasers brought him down – James Tamou and Reagan Campbell-Gilllard. It was a minor moment in an 80 minute contest with plenty of twists and turns, but it showed the kind of guts and determination the Panthers are playing with at the moment.

This Sunday Penrith yet again find themselves up against a team with their season on the line and so much has changed since these two sides met at Kogarah Oval way back in the opening round.

The Dragons were dominant that day, as they were for the first quarter of the season, while the Panthers were embarrassing. That single game set Penrith’s season back at least a month – maybe longer.

The tables have now turned with Penrith somehow eyeing off a potential top four spot and the Dragons falling out of the eight and barely in Finals contention.

It is incredible to think that the Panthers are a chance of finishing so high on the ladder given they were second last after nine rounds – no Penrith side has made the Finals after such a horror start to the year, let alone the top four.

So what is the risk for a Penrith side

chasing eight straight wins on Sunday afternoon?

Some would say complacency now that the Finals berth has been all but locked up, but it’s hard to see this group falling victim to that. They’ve learned a lot of tough lessons in the 23 rounds that followed that opening round encounter and one of them is to never underestimate your opposition and certainly to not overestimate yourself.

From a technical standpoint the biggest improvement Penrith could make this weekend is in defence. They missed an incredible 50 tackles last weekend and still won – almost impossible to do in the modern game. They won’t get away with it for two weeks in a row.

But let’s not focus on how Penrith could lose, let’s look at why they will win.

A fullback in form – Dylan Edwards has emerged as one of the most exciting players at the club and the Panthers are finally

getting some decent metres from kick returns.

Props finding their groove – after a slow start to the year, James Tamou is playing some of his best footy while Reagan Campbell-Gillard is an absolute machine.

A halfback in control – this is Nathan Cleary’s team now, and the side is starting to reflect his calm and patient approach.

It’s why Matt Moylan being out this weekend is not as critical as it once would have been.

You want more? Waqa Blake’s exciting footwork, Bryce Cartwright finding his rhythm after a tough year and James Fisher-Harris starting to fire up at the right time of the year.

The storylines of a team that is very much the real deal are starting to form.

The Dragons are playing for their lives, but Penrith should be too good.

NEVER GIVING UP NATHAN TAYLOR @natetaylor87

T

here was a moment in the 54th minute of Penrith’s thrilling match against Canberra last Sunday where Raiders fullback Jack Wighton scooped up a Nathan Cleary grubber kick close to his line and raced down the sideline virtually untouched.

Seemingly on his way towards a 90 metre game-changing try for the home side, Panthers forwards Reagan CampbellGillard and James Tamou gave each other a quick glance and decided to put in an almighty chase.

Much to the surprise of the crowd watching on, they got him. Two rangy props who had busted their guts for more than half a match lassoed one of the fastest blokes on the field.

While the Raiders eventually crossed 60 seconds later, that try-saver on Wighton is proof the Panthers have refused to throw in the towel all season despite a disastrous start.

“In the back of your mind you think of your team and what you can do for them,” Campbell-Gillard said.

“I remember playing the ball and admiring the kick Nathan put through before Wighton picked it up and I said to myself ‘oh God’.

“I looked around and no one was chasing. I said ‘Jimmy, let’s go’. It was like two bloody Clydesdales running down the sideline.”

Campbell-Gillard, who has had an outstanding back end to the year coming off the bench, said never giving up on a play is exactly what typifies being a Panther in 2017.

“We’ve got a motto here – ‘What does it mean to be a Panther?’ – and it’s things like that. When you look at your fellow front

Reagan Campbell-Gillard is making a splash this season rower next to you, you get goosebumps and actually believe you can make the play,” he said.

“We’ll take loads of confidence from that and build that into the Dragons [this Sunday].”

Penrith will face a desperate St GeorgeIllawarra side currently on a two-game losing streak and fighting to keep their slim Finals hopes alive.

In the opening round the Dragons disposed of the pre-season premiership favourites with ease, something that haunted Campbell-Gillard for much of the early part of the season.

“There were some tough times back then,” he said.

“Those first seven weeks – I will admit – were the toughest I’ve felt here at the club.

It sucks when you’re losing and things aren’t working but we addressed it after those seven weeks, tried to simplify our football and that’s what we’ve done.”

And now, after a shocking 2-7 start to the year, Penrith are on the cusp of making the top four and boy, do they know it.

“I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been following other results and looking at the ladder. I’ve looked at it, trying to visualise things that we can achieve,” he said.

MERRIN'S FIGHTBACK NATHAN TAYLOR @natetaylor87

W

hile a spot in the 2017 NRL Finals looks all but secured for the Penrith Panthers, lock Trent Merrin is determined to keep the good times rolling with a win over his former club this Sunday

afternoon.

The 27-year-old Australian representative made a triumphant return from a serious knee injury during last weekend’s thrilling 26-22 win over Canberra.

When Merrin went down with a high grade MCL tear during Penrith’s Round 19 win over the New Zealand Warriors, many feared he wouldn’t return at all during the regular season.

However, proving Penrith’s medical staff wrong, Merrin returned earlier than

expected to play a starring role in his side’s nail-biting victory over the Raiders.

Speaking with Extra Time on Monday morning, Merrin said he pulled up fine albeit a “bit sore” from the heated encounter in the nation’s capital.

“That’s always the case when you come back a bit early from injury – it’s always going to pull up a bit tender and sore but other than that the knee will be better for it,” he said.

Missing five games during Penrith’s remarkable winning streak, the 2010 Premiership winner said he was determined to do everything he could to defy doctor’s orders and return to the paddock as quick as possible.

“It’s just like life, you set yourself little goals and you work really hard to achieve them,” Merrin said.

“It’s a credit to the medical staff here to put me in a position to get back when I wanted to get back, not when they wanted me back.

Trent Merrin is looking forward to playing the Dragons on Sunday. Photo: Megan Dunn “To show that trust in me, to push it the way that we did, it showed belief in me to put myself in that position.”

Merrin will give his knee another huge test this weekend when he comes up against his former club, St GeorgeIllawarra, for the second time this season.

While the novelty of playing his ex-teammates has well and truly worn off over the years, Merrin is looking forward to making amends for Penrith’s awful opening round loss to the Dragons at Kogarah back in March.

“You don’t forget a loss like that. It was a

tough game to walk away from and we’ll hold on to a bit of that come Sunday,” Merrin said.

“It’s always great coming up against your old club but our main focus the last few weeks has been us and that’s all we can control.”

Merrin is hoping for a big crowd on Sunday at Pepper Stadium.

“We are really excited for our last home game of the season. We’ve done the best we possibly can to put ourselves in a great position. All we need now is for everyone to get behind us and push us through.”

Humbling experience that’s changed my life

JAMIE SOWARD

T

his week I wanted to tell Extra Time readers about my past month working with the U17 Minchinbury Jets Junior Rugby League side, who this Sunday morning will play against rivals St Clair for Grand Final glory.

Roughly a month ago I approached the team’s coach, Michael White, about helping out this group of talented boys in any way I could, and he was more than keen for me to come in.

I attend regular training sessions and work on little things with the boys, while the last couple of weeks I’ve had the privilege of running the water on game day.

While some parents of players on opposing teams are a tad jealous of me being out there, what I’m doing is perfectly within the rules as long as I don’t point players into position and I’m on the field when my side has possession.

Being out there, talking to the kids, seeing their excitement and connecting with them has really changed my outlook on where my future coaching career may lie. It’s certainly opened my eyes to another possible avenue in the great game of rugby league.

I must admit it’s been really exciting seeing these kids grow and improve in the short amount of time I’ve spent with them, and I can’t thank Michael and the club enough for accepting me in.

I’m nervous before each game, it’s like I’m playing again.

When the boys win and they sing that team song, it gives me chills and reminds

me of being 16 and when I started out. I have to confess that I have to learn to pull it back a bit and remember that these boys are teenagers and growing young men, but honestly this has been a very humbling experience and something more former NRL players should consider to give back to the game.

So often we hear that players don’t give

enough back and, to be truthful, it can be difficult to fit within your schedule when you’re still playing.

All this is voluntary, I don’t get paid. I just wanted to help out a young local side and honestly it’s been one of the best, most humbling experiences of my life.

I can’t wait for the Grand Final this Sunday. Go the Jets!

The student of the week is Brad Mason. Brad is from Penrith South Public School and he has begun to embrace the values and themes taught in our Primary Classroom Program. One of the topics we discuss is how to learn new skills.

When learning a new skill it is often necessary to go through a period of struggle or challenge in order to improve. Brad has shown that with determination and focus he can overcome setbacks and challenges when learning. He was able to demonstrate this during a player visit

by Penrith Panthers Jarome Luai (pictured) and Christian Chrichton when they competed in a cup stacking race.

Congratulations Brad!

Penrith’s young guns offer glimpse into bright future

EMMA LAWRENCE

A

t the end of last year, Phil Gould’s so-called “five-year plan” was up. Two cracks at Finals footy wasn’t bad, but questions were asked and fingers pointed when a premiership wasn’t delivered.

With the Panthers looking red-hot on a seven match winning streak, maybe Gus (pictured) just needed to add another year to his plan?

Regardless, there’s a silver lining that cannot be underestimated – the club’s pool of local talent is looking stronger than ever. And I don’t just mean in the NRL. I’m lucky enough to do sideline commentary for the Holden Cup and Intrust Super Premiership, and I’m in awe at some of the players.

The Panthers are currently second and third respectively, and it’s easy to see why – flashy outside backs, big props with crazy footwork, and young but composed halves with game management beyond their years.

Take Wayde Egan for example.

In one NYC game I called, he scored four tries and was involved in literally every-

thing. It got to the point where Jimmy Smith and I joked that we’d run out of notes on the young hooker.

Then there’s Liam Martin, the workhorse backrower who’s already being compared to Josh Jackson, and Kaide Ellis who can play 80 minutes in the front row and still manage more than 150 metres and 40 tackles.

And that’s not to mention the first grade squad where 80 per cent of players are either local juniors or developed in the Panthers system.

In 2012, that figure was just 20 per cent.

Plus 11 of the 17 players who ran out against Canberra last weekend were part of the 2013 or 2015 NYC premiership teams.

Sure, the salary cap should better reward junior development so clubs don’t lose the young guns they invest in.

Even still, it’s hard not to get excited about what Penrith can do in the next five years.

Seeing any player debut on the big stage is special, but let’s face it, when they’re home grown it’s even better!

HOLDEN CUP TROY DODDS @troydodds

ery few people would argue that Greg ‘Brandy’ Alexander is the best rugby league player Penrith has ever produced.

From the moment he burst onto the scene in 1984, he was destined for greatness.

He won the Rookie of the Year Award, and backed it up in 1985 by winning the Dally M Medal.

The Panthers rose alongside Alexander and eventually, he would lead them to Premiership success in 1991.

But the tragic death of his brother Ben in 1992 had a devastating impact on Alexander, and while he toughed it out through the 1993 and 1994 seasons, he simply wasn’t the same player that had

dominated the competition for close to a decade.

Needing a change, Alexander made the shock decision to play for the newly formed Auckland Warriors, joining them for their debut season in 1995.

From day one, the question around the Penrith community was obvious – would he one day return home?

That question was answered in 1997 when Brandy returned to the foot of the Mountains to play out the remainder of his career – adding to his 207 games for the Panthers with 31 more appearances before retiring in 1999.

His comeback in 1997 was much celebrated, and provided Penrith with additional marketing power ahead of their debut in the Super League.

Alexander would later admit that life was tough during the mid 1990’s.

“Those years after Ben’s accident at Penrith, and when I was at Auckland, were a blur,” he said.

PANTHERS 48 RAIDERS 28 Greg Alexander in 1997 “I wasn’t on the same page as everyone else. I’d lost all focus. I don’t know how I even played footy.”

Brandy admitted that he needed to return home to finish his career where it started.

“Penrith was where I belonged. At age 32, I’d obviously lost a bit of pace, but I’d learned to compensate by playing smarter, and my defence had improved,” he said.

After retirement, Alexander launched a strong media career. He spent time with 2UE’s Continuous Call team and Sports Today, before finding his natural home with Fox Sports, where he remains an expert commentator on the 24 hour rugby league channel, Fox League.
