MATCH PREVIEW

SHARK ALARM!

Plenty of people have called Penrith’s hard fought 20-16 win over the Roosters on Monday night ‘ugly’, and while it may not have been the pret-tiest of performances, it was certainly a professional one.

In games like that, played in awful conditions, experience and profes-sionalism mean a lot.

Halfback Jamie Soward took superb control of the contest, particularly in the final 10 minutes, and his kicking game helped to ensure the Panthers didn’t give the Roosters too many opportunities to grab the game at the death.

It’s the kind of experience that more than 200 senior games brings, but even Soward is still learning. When the Panthers lost in the final moments to the Bulldogs in

round two, it came after Soward gifted the opposition a seven tackle set in the dying minutes. There was no sign of such play on Monday night and the fact that the Roosters were forced into seven goal line drop-outs shows just how accurate Penrith’s kicking game was.

The Panthers played to the conditions. Bryce Cartwright resisted the constant temptation to off-load, Soward kept plenty of his kicks low and Trent Merrin and Reagan Campbell-Gillard did the hard yards up the middle (the latter continuing to out-shine his more experienced front row partner in Sam McKendry).

And while Penrith’s final completion rate sat at 74 per cent courtesy of a few late errors, it hovered over 80 per cent for most of the night, which went a long way to securing victory.

Is improvement required to beat the high flying Sharks on Sunday? Absolutely.

Penrith missed a worrying 46 tackles on Monday night – more than any other team in round seven, including Newcastle

who were spanked 53-0 by Brisbane. It is something that has been of concern for much of the season and the Panthers certainly need to find a way to tighten up the defensive unit, particularly in the middle of the park.

If the Panthers fail to contain players like Andrew Fifita, Wade Graham and Paul Gallen on Sunday, they could be in for a long afternoon. Peter Wallace also faces one of his biggest tests at dummy half – Michael Ennis is superb on the back of quick play-the-balls and we know how much he frustrates opposition hookers.

The Panthers must shut down Cronulla’s forward pack so attacking weapons like Ben Barba, Jack Bird and Valentine Holmes have their opportunities limited.

I’m expecting a pretty open game of footy – both sides like to throw the ball around if conditions are good, and you would expect the Panthers to chance their arm close to the line with Soward, Moylan and Cartwright all hitting their straps at a key time of the season.

It was great to see Waqa Blake in open space on Monday night but even more impressive was his defence – the Roosters targeted his side of the field and he was forced to make 26 tackles, versus Peta Hiku who was kept reasonably quiet with just eight tackles made.

I’m expecting points galore on Sunday with Panthers fans likely to again be biting their nails (what’s left of them, anyway) in the final minutes. Tip: Panthers by 1.

GUS ISSTAYING

with the masked panther

» While he often brings questions sur-rounding his own future on himself, I can assure you that Phil Gould is not close to leaving his role at the Panthers. Gould has given the Panthers Board an assurance that he’s around for at least the medium-term, but his workload will obviously decrease now that Corey Payne has been appointed as Football CEO. It’s unlikely Gould will ever totally leave the Panthers – he’s expected to stay on as a consult-ant even when he does finish up in his day-to-day role, and don’t be surprised if he ultimately aims to fill a vacant Board position in the long-term.

» Phil Gould and Bob Fulton have a strong relationship so it was no surprise to hear that the Manly supremo was recently given a guided tour of the new Panthers Rugby League Academy.

» Prop Sam McKendry has landed him-self in some hot water after being charged with contrary conduct following an inci-dent in Monday night’s game against the Roosters. McKendry came into contact with referee Jared Maxwell in the 72nd minute. He was due to fight the charge at the judiciary last night.

» Expect the future of Elijah Taylor to be sorted out at some stage in the next few weeks. As I’ve been telling you since the start of the season, Taylor is on the outer at Panthers HQ and a release either to the Roosters or Tigers is expected in the not too distant future. Taylor has been stuck in reserve grade for the bulk of the season.

» The Panthers will not wear their AN-ZAC jersey against the Sharks on Sunday. The incredible jersey worn last year for

the game against the Sharks at Pepper Stadium was well and truly a one-off and won’t be repeated on the weekend.

» Spotted: Peter Wallace, Jamie Soward, Matt Moylan and James Segeyaro check-ing out the new Skinnys restaurant in Jamisontown.

» There’s talk that the Panthers are preparing for life without Jamie Soward and Peter Wallace, with the club report-edly offering Corey Norman a $1.8 million deal over three years. Rumour has it that Norman rejected the deal, and has also rejected the most recent offer from his current club, Parramatta. It’s unlikely that Norman will make a final decision on his future until the Eels’ salary cap dramas have reached a conclusion.

» Phil Gould used his Sun Herald column last week to push the case for Penrith to be the location of the new ‘outer western Sydney’ stadium, which is still in the State Government’s long term plans. “Penrith is at the centre of this new western corridor. Plans are well under-way for this city to develop over the next decade to provide the necessary quantity and quality of housing and urban living accommodation, lifestyle precincts, entertainment hubs and the very best of sporting facilities for the sport loving residents in and around these areas,” Gould wrote. “Central to all of this will be an urgently needed upgrade of Pep-per Stadium. The NSW government has already flagged that funds will eventually be provided for a fourth stadium develop-ment in the greater western area.”

» It seems a little over the top to suggest that coaches can’t comment on The Bun-

ker and decisions made during a game. While I understand the NRL’s desire to protect match officials, results can often be determined by close video referee calls and surely coaches deserve the right to have an opinion on them. What doesn’t help the average viewer at the moment is Channel Nine’s decision to broadcast its own replays, not those being seen by The Bunker. Fox Sports have it right – they’re showing the same replays that The Bunker is seeing and therefore the audio coming from The Bunker makes sense.

» James Segeyaro and Dean Whare are set to make their long-awaited returns from injury against Canberra in Bathurst next weekend.

» There’s no excuse for Panthers fans not to travel to away games with the club launching a new affordable bus this week. For just $10 per game, Panthers Members can travel to the upcoming away games

against Cronulla, Canberra, Manly and Wests Tigers. It’s $20 for non-Members.

» I’m told that Anthony Griffin asked for the dressing room to be cleared so he could speak openly and frankly to his players following Monday night’s gutsy win over the Roosters at Allianz Stadium.

» Monday night’s game against the Roosters had a huge audience on Fox Sports with 280,000 people tuning in.

» The latest radio ratings were released on Tuesday and it’s an interesting battle between 2GB and the ABC. 2GB is still dominant on weekends with 9.3 per cent of the available audience (up 0.8 per cent from the last survey), but the ABC is not far behind with 8.5 per cent. Triple M is the station of choice for younger listeners and has an overall share of 5.8 per cent on weekends. It’s a close race with 2GB only just hanging on.

Page 5: Extra Time April 21

Following a more than six month search, Penrith have announced former NRL forward Corey Payne as their new Rugby League CEO.

The 31-year-old, who will be the youngest CEO in the game, steps into the role which has

been vacant since the departure of current Wests Tigers boss Justin Pascoe last year.

“I’m very excited by the opportunity to join the Panthers,” Payne said.

“Over the last five years Phil Gould has put the club back in a financially viable position, ensured the salary cap is in good shape and established solid foundations on which we can build for the future.

“There is a fantastic feeling about the

club and I’m looking forward to being part of it.”

Payne played 131 games for the St George Illawarra Dragons, Wests Tigers and Canterbury Bulldogs over the course of eight seasons in the NRL.

Having obtained a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Sydney, he retired in 2012 to complete his Masters of Commerce and pursue a career in business.

As a recipient of the prestigious Churchill Fellowship, Payne travelled to a number of countries conducting research into how sport can be used for social change and capacity building with the community.

Payne is also the Founder of the Future Direction Network, an organisation that aims to raise the ambition and aspira-tion of youth from south west Sydney to pursue university education.

In 2013 he was named NSW Young Australian of the Year, and most recently

he worked for Woolworths Limited as a Transformation Manager.

Payne said Panthers supporters had many reasons to be optimistic about the future of the club.

“With the opening of the Panthers Rugby League Academy, the club now boasts the best training facility in the southern hemi-sphere, providing us with opportunity to attract, retain and develop the best talent in the game,” Payne said.

“Finally the Panthers have a young and skilful NRL team that can achieve some-

thing special, not just in the near future, but over the long-term.”

Panthers Executive Manager Rugby League, Phil Gould, hailed Payne’s appointment as a significant coup.

“With rugby league in his blood and his passion for the game, this position could already be seen as a natural fit for both Corey and the Panthers,” Gould said.

Payne’s appointment completes a restructure of Penrith’s management team with Brian Fletcher in place as Group CEO and David O’Neill the new Chairman.

After being dropped to reserve grade the previous week, it was certainly a welcome return to first grade for Panthers star Tyrone Peachey on Monday night.

Before this week’s comeback against the Sydney Roosters,

the 24-year-old had been enduring a fairly quiet opening five weeks, which resulted in coach Anthony Griffin swinging the axe the utility’s way for last week’s clash with North Queensland.

Speaking with Extra Time last Friday afternoon, the former Cronulla Shark admitted it was confronting to learn from coach Griffin that he was not performing.

“I knew I wasn’t playing good but hear-

ing it from him was eye opening,” Peachey said.

“I just hadn’t been performing… I wasn’t playing good and he sent me back to reserve grade for the weekend.”

Before returning off the bench during Penrith’s tight 20-16 win at a soggy Allianz Stadium, Peachey wasn’t sure if he’d ever make it back to first grade this year.

He said he put a lot of focus into training hard to get back in Griffin’s good books.

“I trained hard this week to try and fix everything, and hopefully it turns around and I do get an opportunity back in first grade this year,” he said last Friday.

Peachey’s opportunity to prove himself did come again just days later with a decent performance against the bottom-placed Roosters on Monday.

In 52 minutes, the incumbent City Origin rep made 16 tackles and ran 80 metres.

Peachey will need to do that and more

this Sunday afternoon when Penrith travel to Cronulla to take on his former team.

Peachey said it’s been a challenging start to the year but admits he can feel a run of wins right around the corner.

“I think we’ve had a tough draw but I think we’re getting better every week. If we fix a few things we can get a little run going fairly soon,” he said.

“I wasn’t playing good and he (Anthony Griffin)

WHO WILLPLAY ORIGIN?

with Brad Drew

The first State of Origin game is just around the corner and there are some positions that are certainly up for grabs.

Fullback could either go to Josh Dugan or James Tedesco, with both players putting their best foot forward for selection. The half and five-eighth pairing is still a major talking point and I don’t think that any of the pivots have stamped their name on the back of an Origin jersey for NSW at this stage of the competition. Having said that, my two halves would be Aiden Seizer and Josh Reynolds, with Seizer controlling the kicking game along with the general play calls and Reynolds to provide that little bit of unpredictability which could be the difference between winning and losing for NSW.

The back row is the other position that will give Laurie Daley a few headaches with plenty of fantastic options avail-able. Bryce Cartwright, Josh Jackson, Wade Graham, Ryan Hoffman, Luke Lewis, Beau Scott, just name a few.

In the centres I would have Michael Jennings on the left and on the right I would give James Roberts his chance, although with him being from Kempsey it would not surprise me if Queensland have already claimed him.

The forward pack almost picks itself but a front row position is now avail-able with Aaron Woods being ruled out through injury. This may provide the opportunity for a young player to make their debut like Jake Trbojevic, Jack Debellin, Reagan Campbell-Gillard with Paul Gallen also to play in the front row.

The wing spot could go to a number of players and with Brett Morris injured, it is likely to open up a range of opportuni-ties for others.

Regardless of which team the selectors decide to go with I just hope they stand by their decision for the series and only make changes if forced upon through injury.

Doing this will generate confidence amongst the squad.

LOWER GRADES

» Intrust Super Premiership NSW: After two straight wins the Penrith Panthers have been brought back down to earth with a thud, losing to the Wyong Roos 28-6 last weekend.Despite a couple of big name inclusions in Elijah Taylor and Jeremy Latimore, the Panthers were well and truly out of sorts from the opening kick-off, letting the ball bounce over the sideline.Penrith were still in the hunt at half-time down 14-6, but too many sloppy errors got in the way of a comeback.The afternoon got even worse for Pen-rith in the 56th minute when Panthers centre Sam Clune passed the ball to former teammate Chris Smith who, as of last week, now plays for Wyong. Smith thought all his Christmases had come at once and raced away 40m before being rounded up. The lone try scorer for Penrith was Corey Harawira-Naera. Josh Hall kicked one from one. This weekend most of the competition, including the Panthers, will enjoy the weekend off before returning to face Mounties in Round 9.

» Holden Cup: The Penrith Panthers are proving they could be even better than last year following another belting of a top four side.This time it was the second-placed Syd-ney Roosters who were on the wrong side of a 50-4 Panthers thrashing on Monday night. The Panthers are so far ahead of the pack that they have a points differential

152 points better than their nearest op-ponent. The only blow for the Panthers was the injury to gun five-eighth Jarome Luai, who went off with a knee complaint. Try scorers for the Panthers included Dylan Edwards (2), Tyrone May (2), Ratu Tuisese (2), Wayde Egan, Cowen Epere and Braidon Burns. Nathan Cleary kicked six from eight. This Sunday afternoon the competition leading Panthers will hit the road to take on the third-placed Cronulla Sharks in the Shire.

» Ron Massey Cup: After enjoying a bye last weekend, St Marys will return to ac-tion this Sunday in Round 8 of the Ron Massey Cup competition. The fifth-placed St Marys will travel to Ringrose Park to take on the competi-tion-leading Wentworthville Magpies.

» SG Ball: The first week of SG Ball finals took place last weekend with Penrith narrow losers to the Illawarra Cutters 26-22. Despite the tight loss the Panthers remain in the finals and will tackle the Cronulla Sharks in an elimination semi final this Saturday at Leichhardt Oval.

» Harold Matthews: The first week of the Harold Matthews finals took place last weekend with Penrith smashing the Canberra Raiders 30-6. Penrith will now battle the Cronulla Sharks in an elimination semi final this Saturday at Leichhardt Oval.
