NSW Cup 2026

Set the tone for the day with not being able to complete the first 3 sets of the game and didn’t complete one till already down 22-0

Can also shoot Mitch Henderson into the sun after today’s effort as a starting 7, he has done alright as a 6 or off the bench but starting 7 nope.

Siteni wouldn’t look out of place on wing or as fullback if ever needed and Hola was strong
 
Penrith got 3 tries and a dozen dodgy calls go their way - not to mention the ref was determined to find reasons for 6 agains against us.
I hope that ref never sees firstgrade.
 
That game was all over the shop.

The ref was pretty woeful but I don’t think we can blame the ref! That first 20 min was just mistakes and I didn’t like what I saw. We shifted a gear with about 15 to go in the first half but the second half just beat ourselves with errors.

I agree with you KPGreatness - Henderson is possibly a half in local league at best. His decisions are terrible and his defensive skills are some of the worst I’ve seen! Did I read both Hunter and Gamble are out for a while? Blackman was pretty quiet but may just need some time to click.

Arthur went off with a HIA and assuming failed? I don’t think he’s worth his dollars now. Davies was much better and made a difference when he came on. What I saw last week and whilst he was on today from Arthur is we have some dollars we could be saving there. We still have another year there don’t we?

Siteni has some speed but some uncertainties.

All in all what’s happening at training because NRL and Cup seem to be showing the same issues!!!
 
Just checked out our roster including Development players and listed our injured, missing players, 11, from match against Panthers and placing them close to best position shows the full effect on not just firsts but Cup.
1. Ponga…..2. Votano….. 3. ???….. 4. Best….. 5. Marzhew….. 6. Gamble….. 7. Hunter….. 8. Frizell. 9. ???….. 10. Sullivan…..
11. Lucas….. 12. Jones….. 13. Cant…..
Big loss of players, hopefully they start coming back this week
