TROY DODDS @troydodds

A

fter demolishing the Warriors last weekend and maintaining their spot in the top four, the Panthers finish off a run of three straight home games with a huge clash against Cronulla this Friday night.

And despite the injury problems plaguing both sides and the impact of State of Origin representation, this promises to be an exciting game and one where the two competition points will be mighty valuable.

Penrith are precariously placed in fourth spot, just one win clear of the Roosters, Broncos, Warriors and Friday night’s opponent in Cronulla. One slip-up could prove disastrous, with the unexpected

loss to Manly earlier this month giving the Panthers less breathing room than they would have liked.

The Sharks enjoyed a bye last weekend after narrowly escaping Mount Smart Stadium with victory a fortnight ago. If you read anything into form lines, the Panthers certainly gave the Warriors a much better touch-up than Cronulla did, but that often means very little in this competition... and even less when it comes to the inconsistent Warriors.

The big storyline this week has been Matt Moylan’s return to Panthers Stadium for the first time since he sensationally left the club at the end of last season. Given most fans believe Penrith got the better of the ‘swap deal’ with James Maloney, the reception for Moylan will hardly be welcoming.

Cronulla have a pretty good record at Panthers Stadium and in fact have been

dominant in their last few meetings at the venue, winning 28-2 last year and 26-10 in 2016. The Sharks also narrowly got past the Panthers at Southern Cross Group Stadium earlier this year.

Penrith’s preparation has again been disrupted, not only with the uncertainty surrounding their Origin stars but with replacement fullback Dallin WateneZelezniak suffering a hamstring injury that will see him miss the next month of football.

It means Penrith will field their third choice fullback against the Sharks with youngster Caleb Aekins to make his debut.

The Panthers certainly looked solid with Waqa Blake back in the centres last weekend and his partnership with Dean Whare would surely be one of the competition’s better centre pairings. If Blake can get even more ball against the Sharks he could prove very tough to handle.

The Sharks generally concede more points than Penrith and score fewer tries, so if this match was played out on paper, the home side should get up. But with so much disruption at the foot of the Mountains during the representative period, you have to wonder if this game will just be a little too much for the patched-up Panthers.

Expect Tyrone May and Jarome Luai to play in the halves as named, despite James Maloney and Nathan Cleary both being available for selection after playing for the Blues on Wednesday night.

The pair were both named on an extended Penrith bench by coach Anthony Griffin but at the time of writing were not expected to play.

I’m expecting a low scoring encounter with a tight scoreline. Golden point may even be on the agenda.

PANTHER RUMBLINGS

with the Masked Panther

SAUCE SET TO RETURN » Josh Mansour will make his long-awaited return from injury against the Broncos next Friday night. The 28-year-old has been out since Round 6 when he suffered that horrific facial injury against the Titans. He’s refreshed and ready to go, and is keen to make a big impact on the club’s run towards the Finals.

» They say where there’s smoke, there’s

fire and while there may not be an out of control blaze at the Panthers, there’s no denying that some issues do exist with coach Anthony Griffin. At the core of the issue is Griffin’s controlling nature, which has ruffled a few feathers within the camp, particularly members of the club’s medical staff. As I’ve said previously, any suggestion that Griffin is on his way out the door is probably off the mark but there’s certainly some internal issues that need to be sorted out. Penrith officials will play this carefully as they want to avoid any serious disruption given the side’s current success with a possible top four finish looming.

» I’m hearing the Gold Coast Titans were

keen to broker a deal that would have seen Bryce Cartwright return to the Panthers in 2019. The change of scenery for Cartwright has failed to fix many of the issues that plagued him at the Panthers in the last couple of seasons, despite his strong relationship with Titans coach Garth Brennan. The Titans are now trying to offload Cartwright and while a clause does exist that Penrith needs to be offered first opportunity, there’s no real desire to have him back at the foot of the Mountains.

Josh Mansour will be back next weekend. Photo: Megan Dunn the Panthers and while it’s taken longer than he would have liked, the 30-year-old will be back at the foot of the Mountains next season. Grant has signed a one-year contract understood to be worth around $120,000 and is likely to move into the club’s sponsorship team once he retires.

“Even though rugby league is now a business and players move around, there is one club that will always be your club. For me that club is Panthers,” Grant said.

» Another player returning to Penrith

next year is Wests Tigers winger Malakai Watene-Zelezniak. The Panthers won’t announce the deal until the end of the season but lock it in – the Watene-Zelezniak brothers are back together in 2019.

» Those rumours about Nathan and

Ivan Cleary heading to the Roosters as a package deal have been put to bed with the Bondi club re-signing coach Trent

Robinson to a long-term deal. The Cleary sideshow has now turned to Brisbane, with rumours the father and son duo could be heading north. It’s all paper talk at this stage – as he has said numerous times, Nathan won’t focus on his next contract until all is said and done with season 2018.

» The Jarome Luai fan club has grown

extensively since his sensational performance against the Warriors last Friday night, but it had 31 members initially.

That’s how many tickets Luai secured for his close family and friends for last weekend’s game. They won’t forget his performance in a hurry.

» Talking of Laui, the Panthers now face

the issue of his price tag almost tripling overnight. The youngster is off-contract at the end of 2019 and if Nathan Cleary does re-sign with the club, the 21-year-old

may look elsewhere in a bid to lock down a permanent first grade spot. It’s certainly created a tricky headache for Phil Gould as the club tries to work out its salary cap compliance for the coming seasons.

» There’s more bad news on the in-

jury front with fullback Dallin WateneZelezniak to miss at least the next three games with a hamstring injury.

» The NRL clash between Penrith and the

Warriors at Panthers Stadium last Friday formed the backdrop to The 24-Hour Challenge – a key initiative of the club’s Building Young Men (BYM) program. BYM is an annual 20-week mentoring program that brings together a group of male high school students with current and past NRL players, successful businessmen and community leaders. The Challenge saw the boys and their mentors walk continuous laps of Panthers Stadium.

MAY CONFIDENT CLEARY WILL STAY NATHAN TAYLOR @natetaylor87

U

Tyrone May re-signed with Penrith last year. Photo: Melinda Jane

nless you’re a Panthers supporter, it seems every NRL follower wants to see Penrith and champion NSW Blues halfback Nathan Cleary play under his dad, Ivan Cleary, in 2020.

However, while much of the league seems convinced it will happen, Panthers teammate and close friend Tyrone May isn’t so sure.

While Cleary is contracted with Penrith until the end of 2019, he’s expected to make a decision on his future beyond that this November when he turns 21.

Cleary is expected to field multi-million dollar offers from a number of clubs including his father’s Wests Tigers and possibly the Brisbane Broncos via a “package deal”.

Speaking with Extra Time on Monday, May believes people are getting the “wrong end of the stick” when discussing Cleary’s playing future.

“I think a lot of the media are taking it out of context when Nathan says he wants to play with his dad in the future – it doesn’t mean he will do it now,” May said.

“It’s up to Nathan as to what he decides but we’ll back him 100 per cent whether he stays or goes. We’re his best mates on and off the field and, even if he was in a different uniform, it wouldn’t change my friendship with him.”

That key word ‘friendship’ is what’s keeping many of Penrith’s up and coming stars at the club. And it could also be pivotal in keeping Cleary at the foot of the Mountains beyond next year.

When May inked a new two-year deal with the Panthers last November, he said it never crossed his mind to play with anyone else.

“My thinking was to stay here, I wasn’t really thinking about anything else. Once they offered me a contract, I didn’t even second guess it,” May admitted.

“I’d probably end up in tears if they wanted me to go, I wouldn’t know how to cop that.”

MOYZA’S FROSTY HOMECOMING NATHAN TAYLOR @natetaylor87

W

hen Bryce Cartwright made his return to Penrith in Round 6 as a member of the Gold Coast Titans, his homecoming was met with boos and jeers.

So what can former Penrith skipper turned Shark Matt Moylan expect when he returns to Panthers Stadium for the first time this Friday night?

“I think Moyza will get the same reception from the crowd as Carty did that time – I can’t believe how bad it was,” Panthers backrower Corey Harawira-Naera told Extra Time.

“I will not be surprised if Moyza gets the same treatment. But nothing fazes him, really. I remember playing with him last year and he was copping it from the crowd, but he just went out and did his thing.”

While Harawira-Naera holds no animosity towards Moylan and his decision to

depart the Panthers last year, he is very much looking forward to marking up against his former captain on the field.

“I think he’s playing on the same edge I’m going to, so I guess there might be a tussle there,” Harawira-Naera said.

“We’ll probably go hard at it on the field and then have a beer together after the game. I think he’s looking forward to the match as much as we are.”

After struggling with a constant groin complaint for most of the season, Harawira-Naera made a triumphant return from injury during last Friday’s big win over the New Zealand Warriors.

The 23-year-old Kiwi said the decision to have a few weeks off to rest and rehab his groin was a smart one.

“It’s probably the best I’ve felt all year, just having that freshen up,” HarawiraNaera said.

“It had been troubling me on and off since Round 5 or 6, some weeks were worse than others.

“I’ve now got into the habit of managing it a lot better than I was back then, like

staying off the drink, getting a good night’s sleep and eating well. A lot more goes into it than just the exercises themselves.”

After scoring a great individual try in his return game last Friday night, HarawiraNaera is hoping the Panthers will take a

lot of confidence from their 36-4 over the Warriors.

“After the game, Hook said ‘we don’t know how good we can be’, and I think that’s a pretty good rap to get,” HarawiraNaera said.

Won’t happen. But try telling any footy fan that the kids from last Friday’s Warriors win don’t deserve another NRL game?

The worst kept secret in rugby league is now common knowledge.

Penrith have THE best next generation of footballers in the industry.

Not just by a little bit either, by quite the margin. It’s all positive. Well almost all of it!

Jarome Luai could have walked through the Panthers reception unnoticed just over a week ago, now he’s one of the hottest young prospects, and most talked about young players in the game. A wanted young man.

Tyrone May. Wayde Egan. Moses Leota…

The list goes on.

In total 11 Penrith products or kids that were identified early and came through the Panthers system were on show for the rugby league world to see, and what they produced was mind blowing. Brilliant.

Beyond expectation.

The system at Panthers HQ is winning.

Winning BIG. He’s a high profile mark is Phil Gould.

Easy to have a crack at, even easier to have an argument with.

Stopping short of telling you all I wish he was my uncle, I will tell you that away from football he’s a very decent man, caring and puts himself second more times than first.

That alone tells us what we need to know about Penrith’s pathways success’. Club first.

Phil is the boss. And to him the credit should go. Ivan Cleary, Trent Barrett, Cameron Ciraldo, Garth Brennan and David Tangata-Toa amongst others have been the teachers and all integral parts of the club’s development.

These men have set up Penrith for the best decade in the club’s history. Yep. Two premierships in 51 years, this decade will be even better, of that I have no doubt.

So what’s the negative?

Keeping all these kids in Penrith jerseys.

The secret is out and the 15 other clubs are about to come calling.

The kids and their managers will no longer settle for second tier contracts,

the western weekender • extra time » Friday, July 13, 2018

Jarome Luai. Photo: Melinda Jane knowing they are first tier players and in the mathematics of rugby leagues salary cap, it is impossible to stockpile this volume of players of this quality.

So it’s back to Gus and his team of 2018, who to keep? Who to let go? They’ve made the right decisions so far.

Glad it’s not my problem.

Helping coach Griffin solve selection headache

JAMIE SOWARD J

arome Luai’s breakout game for Penrith last Friday night has created a few welcoming headaches for coach Anthony Griffin leading into this year’s Finals series.

Pending there’s no more injuries over the next few weeks, I thought I’d put together my strongest Panthers team heading into the post-season.

1. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak 2. Josh Mansour 3. Waqa Blake 4. Tyrone Peachey 5. Dean Whare 6. James Maloney 7. Nathan Cleary 8. Trent Merrin 9. Sione Katoa 10. Reagan Campbell-Gillard 11. Viliame Kikau 12. Isaah Yeo 13. James Fisher-Harris 14. Jarome Luai 15. Jack Hetherington 16. Corey Harawira-Naera 17. James Tamou While Luai won’t be pushing Cleary or Maloney out of the halves anytime soon, I

do think there’s a place for him in the team via the bench. Luai in jumper 14 would be an absolute x-factor for the Panthers, roaming around the field. He’s got great footwork and can run the ball, like we all witnessed last Friday night.

As good as Wayde Egan’s been, I think you need an x-factor on the bench like Luai, who can come on and liven things up around the ruck.

Luai is tough enough to play dummyhalf, and he can also play in the backs and the halves if any injury pops up.

Penrith already has three x-factors in the team in Campbell-Gillard, Peachey and Kikau, and when they are all out on the field at once, the odds are certainly in their favour.

And another thing… I was very disappointed with some talk around town last week regarding Luai replacing Cleary.

Cleary is an Origin player, and to put pressure on Luai like that was rash and uncalled for. Let’s give Luai some time to settle in, because he’s a fantastic footy player with plenty of potential. But for people to say they were “happy” to move on from Cleary already was ridiculous.
