@pikey14 I'd say Talagi gets first crack, followed by Cole. Schneider not in the picture.
I'd like to see Cole in the 14 if not first choice 6. Covers centres and halves, 9 at a push. Maybe not as creative as Toelau, but better defender. Toelau there for origin cover.

@SnoogThe Who've you got in front of him - Martin, Garner, Geyer?
I see Sorensen and Riki more as 1R especially in 2025, but honestly not sold on Riki and Geyer just yet.
Wouldn't be surprised if Hassett looks elsewhere for a run. Ivan is more conservative with forwards debuting.
@PeterVLang Decent depth signing, but not sure it's anything more than that. Assuming Papali'i walks into the starting 13 next year, and Martin on the right, don't see Garner getting anything more than 25mins off the bench.
@JenniferSh93445 Give Cole time - he's 20; took Cleary 3 seasons to play consistent football while Luai didn't play regular first grade until he was 22-23. Schneider injured so probably won't feature next week.
Alamoti did bugger all tonight. Plenty of potential but very raw still.
@lavosaurus 3. Haas 2. Mam 1. Cleary. Panthers supporter here, but Cleary wasn't best on ground for the entire match. Final 25 sure, but objectively not the full 80.
I couldn't tell you the number of cold nights I spent on both hills at Penrith Stadium from ages 15-27 watching my team lose. The success and pride this club and playing group has brought Penrith and its fans over the past 4 seasons is unbeaten. This article sums it up.
The fragility and insecurity of Americans when it comes to anyone questioning their sports is actually the funniest thing about their national identity.
@PeterVLang Injuries happen every game, whether last night or in 2 weeks time. Wrapping in cotton wool and potentially going into the finals on the back of two losses isn't the answer.
The family of 3 Luke Combs fans on the train to his gig, who've probably never been in the city before, just asked "Are we allowed to stand up (on the train)?...go the Matildas."
The crossover of fan bases you didn't know you needed. #Matildas
@georgjar I qualify for a 9-day fortnight. The wonders even one less day does for my mental and physical health, combined with the ability to spend an extra day off with my shift working nurse girlfriend, is honestly the best.
I'm at a sports bar in Melbourne who's just played Bowie into Bee Gees into Dolly Parton.
I may be sick as a dog, but this is peak pub experience pre the Tillies.
