MATCH PREVIEW

EELS

TROY DODDS @troydodds

F

our matches, four close finishes, three that didn’t go Penrith’s way.

The Panthers’ first month of the competition has been a classic glass half full, glass half empty scenario.

If you prefer your glass half full, you’d be happy that Penrith have led every match they’ve played at some stage in the second half and have been in a match-winning position – proving they have at least the nucleus of a winning football team. You’d also be happy that they’ve managed to be so close to victory in all of their matches despite not having arguably their best player in Matt Moylan on the park.

If you’re a glass half empty kind of person, you’d be disappointed that again

so much promise has the potential to deteriorate into another average season. You’d be extremely worried about Penrith’s inability to close out matches that they have every right to win.

Whatever glass you’re choosing to follow at the moment, one thing is for sure – the next two weeks are vital.

Penrith face a couple of competition heavyweights in the shape of a rejuvenated Parramatta and defending premiers North Queensland in the next fortnight.

A win against at least one of those opponents is vital to keep Penrith in touch with the top eight, as being one win from six matches starts to become a little difficult to fight back from.

Parramatta poses a significant threat this weekend. Nobody has defended better than the Eels this season – they’ve conceded just 39 points and managed to keep the Wests Tigers scoreless on Easter Monday.

But while their defensive record is unquestionably impressive, their attack

hasn’t necessarily set the world on fire.

They have the third worst attacking record in the competition despite winning three of their four matches, and showed in round one against Brisbane that they can be vulnerable when they face an opposition that is at the top of their game.

It appears as though Penrith will finally welcome back captain Matt Moylan this weekend and his inclusion is particularly important as it’ll increase Penrith’s attacking options close to the line, which have been somewhat lacking over the first four rounds. With Peter Wallace shifting to hooker and Te Maire Martin still finding his feet, there’s been a lot of pressure on Jamie Soward to lead Penrith’s attack but he can’t do it alone, and Moylan will provide the back-up that Will Smith simply isn’t capable of at fullback.

The Eels’ danger men are obvious – Michael Jennings will be out for a big game against his former club, while Semi Radradra is probably the toughest winger in the competition to contain.

Kieran Foran may be struggling with ongoing hamstring issues but he’s still providing the direction that the Eels have been missing in recent seasons.

Most impressive for Penrith last week was Josh Mansour, who is in ravaging form at the moment.

The fact that this match is a local derby adds some extra spice and I’m expecting another close contest.

PANTHER RUMBLINGS with a masked panther

ELIJAH’S LEAVE PASS » I’ve been telling you for some weeks

that Elijah Taylor’s future at Penrith is extremely clouded and after being dropped again last weekend by new coach Anthony Griffin, it’s quite clear that the tackling machine isn’t part of the club’s future plans. What’s interesting now is whether Taylor will even see out the rest of the season with the Panthers. While he remains at the foot of the Mountains for now, there’s talk that other clubs including the Wests Tigers could be interested in his services for the rest of the 2016 season. Given how injury prone Penrith’s squad seems to be, I’d be surprised if the club let him go early but if a legitimate opportunity emerges, Penrith would surely at least consider it. Taylor was a favourite of former coach Ivan Cleary and is still close to his former mentor.

» The Panthers are poised to announce

a contract extension for captain and fullback Matt Moylan (pictured). The new deal would see Moylan sign one of the richest deals in the club’s history and would keep him a Panther until the end of the 2021 season. There is no doubt that the decision to appoint Moylan as captain earlier this season was in part to recognise the fact that he could well be a Panther for life. Panthers CEO Brian Fletcher has confirmed that the negotiations with Moylan about the extended deal are underway.

» The NRL and the RLPA have agreed to a

range of measures in order to assist player wellbeing in the event of five-day turnarounds during the 2016 season. As part of the measures, the NRL has agreed to fund extra accommodation for travelling teams, as well as pursue extra provisions for clubs through airline partners. In the event of five-day turnarounds involving travel, the NRL will work with clubs to provide extra accommodation in order to reduce the impact of travel, as well as assist with recovery measures where appropriate. The NRL is working with its airline partner to provide clubs with complimentary airline lounge memberships, along with other measures designed to reduce the impact of five-day turnarounds.

» In a very strong indication that a new

stadium is on its way to Penrith in the future, the Panthers have been left out of any conversations surrounding potentially moving matches to Allianz or ANZ Stadiums. That’s because the NRL knows it’s unlikely any such move would be long-term, as the State Government’s planned ‘outer western Sydney stadium’ is highly likely to be in Penrith and will host Panthers matches.

» There was a surprise comeback at Panthers this week with former Marketing Manager Anthony ‘Swiss Tony’ Frantzis popping up at the opening of the Rugby League Academy. Frantzis left the Panthers last year.

» Talk of Lachlan Coote potentially

returning to Penrith is just that – talk.

The club has no serious plans to engage in contract negotiations with the local junior, who has been a real star for the Cowboys in the last couple of seasons

Coote is unlikely to have his contact at the Cowboys renewed due to salary cap restrictions and is keen to move back to Sydney.

» Masked Panther’s idea of the week:

Discounted tickets for Members to attend away matches. The NRL really needs to look into this to make it affordable for fans who are willing to travel to support their team at away grounds. The Masked Panther spent almost $200 to sit behind the goal posts with four other masked friends at WIN Stadium on Sunday. That’s despite spending hundreds of dollars on Panthers memberships already. Surely the NRL needs to create a game-wide concept that recognises club Members at all grounds.

» 175,000 fans watched Penrith’s clash

against the Dragons last Sunday on Fox Sports, while a further 234,000 watched

on Channel Nine. Fox must be extremely excited about the figures for matches this season, especially those that clash with Channel Nine’s coverage. People are clearly choosing Fox Sports when they have the option, which is a worry for Nine, who will be dealt a further blow if Ray Warren retires at season’s end.

» The NRL still hasn’t fixed its issue with

kick-off times. All week, and in fact all pre-season, Monday’s match between Parramatta and Wests Tigers was scheduled to kick-off at 4pm. But that was never going to happen – both teams and the host broadcaster, Fox Sports, knew that the kick-off was actually 4.15pm. The same thing happened on Good Friday for the match between Canterbury and Souths. Why does the NRL persist with this? The other major sporting codes in Australia never delay kick-off times to that extent. It’s treating fans with contempt.

FEATURE

Here comes

Moylan

NATHAN TAYLOR @natetaylor87

P

anthers captain Matt Moylan will skipper the side for the first time this Sunday afternoon when Penrith tackle a red hot Parramatta Eels.

The 24-year-old will make his long awaited return to the NRL this weekend after injuring his back during a pre-season trial against Canterbury.

Moylan’s cool and calm approach to games will be very much welcomed by his Penrith teammates who have struggled to close out matches on three occasions this season.

Speaking with Extra Time, Moylan said he was healthy and excited to be back.

“The back is going good, I was trying to

return last week but it wasn’t quite ready,” he said.

“This will be my first game for the year and my first game in almost a year as well, so I can’t wait to put the boots back on and get out there.”

It’s been a frustrating 10 months for Moylan who seriously injured his ankle last May and was subsequently ruled out for the season.

Moylan finally returned to action during the pre-season but suffered a stress fracture in his back, which ruled him out of the opening month of 2016.

The NSW Origin hopeful said it was tough watching from the sidelines.

“It’s frustrating we’ve let a couple of games slip, the boys have been putting in a massive effort each game,” Moylan said.

“We’ve just got to tidy up a few things that will help us get over the line and win those tight games.

Matt Moylan will play his first game for the season against Parramatta on Sunday The popular fullback revealed negotiations for an extension have already begun with the club.

“I’m not close [to re-signing] but I think talks have started,” Moylan confirmed.

“With a facility like this (Rugby League Academy), why would you want to go?”

Moylan is already contracted with Penrith until the end of 2017.

“We’re building and getting better each week, I think a lot of players are starting to find good form.”

Meanwhile, speaking at the opening of the new Panthers Rugby League Academy, Moylan responded to reports that he is poised to sign a multi-million dollar contract extension that will make him a Panther until the end of 2021.

THE DREW REVIEW with Brad Drew

RIVALRY RUNS DEEP My loyalties are always questioned during the week leading into the local derby between Penrith and Parramatta, and I try to avoid this discussion altogether with my general response being that I am in a win-win situation and I will then jump on the team that gets the two points to claim bragging rights.

But if you ask me to declare the winner before kick-off then that is when I sit nicely on the fence.

My household is split down the middle with two Penrith and two Parramatta supporters, so the banter flying around the house all week is relentless and it can easily turn into 3 v 1 dependent on the result of the game because I can and I will jump ship to either side if I need to.

You could easily fall into the trap of thinking that Parramatta will be far too strong for Penrith this week going by their

respective positions on the ladder but, in all seriousness, it is a really difficult game to predict who will win.

The Panthers really should be sitting on equal points alongside Parramatta having let two games slip through their fingers, and I am sure this will give Penrith even more motivation to get a much needed win on Sunday afternoon at Pirtek Stadium.

I said in my first column what a success the introduction of the NRL Bunker has been and I do stand by my comment, but there are still flaws in the system.

In my opinion whenever there is a try scored and the referees are not sure about the decision they should simply stop the game without giving an opinion on whether it is a try or no try, then refer the outcome to the Bunker to review the footage and come up with the correct

result. This will take away any guessing from the officials regarding the play and also the benefit of the doubt ruling.

Again this is only my opinion, I am sure

they will get it right sooner rather than later.

See you next week. Go the Panthers. Or the Eels!

LOWER GRADES » Intrust Super Premiership NSW:

sive 28-12 victory over the St George Illawarra Dragons at WIN Stadium.

With the scores level at 12-12 at halftime, Penrith came out firing in the second half, scoring three unanswered tries to seal the win.

Try scorers for Penrith included Dylan Edwards, Corey Waddell, Ratu Tuisese, Tyrone May and Robert Jennings. Nathan Cleary kicked four from five.

This Sunday afternoon the Panthers will travel to Parramatta to tackle the Eels.

Desperate for a win, Panthers reserve grade coach Steve Georgallis has made a few changes to this weekend’s line-up to tackle Manly.

Halfback Sam Clune shifts to fullback while Malakai Watene-Zelezniak returns to the centres, and with Sione Kotoa fit and firing at hooker, Zach Dockar-Clay will move into the halves for this Saturday’s game.

Last Sunday afternoon the Panthers lost their second straight game, going down to the Illawarra Cutters 46-18.

Elijah Taylor was a late inclusion for the clash, which saw the Cutters lead by just four at half-time. However, the second half was a different story with the home side laying on a barrage of tries to well and truly outmuscle the Panthers.

Try scorers for Penrith included Matt Place, Sitaleki Akauola and Moses Leota.

Josh Hall kicked three from three.

This Saturday afternoon the Panthers will travel to Brookvale Oval to take on the Manly Sea Eagles.
