T

he Panthers came back to earth last Sunday against Cronulla with injuries finally catching up with Anthony Griffin’s side.

Inexperienced players like Christian Crichton struggled to get the little things right, while veterans like Dean Whare and Trent Merrin frustrated themselves into poor personal performances. Combined, it just wasn’t Penrith’s day.

But Griffin and his team will need to shake that defeat off quickly as the Panthers face the shortest possible turnaround in the NRL – going from Sunday in the Shire to taking on the Bulldogs in Friday Night Football at the foot of the Mountains.

There is every reason to fear Dean Pay’s Bulldogs.

That turnaround is critical – the Bulldogs played last Thursday night so have had a much smoother preparation for this one.

And of course there’s the fact that these two sides have already met this season, with Canterbury coming away with the competition points.

But even considering those two elements, I’m struggling to see how the Bulldogs get near the Panthers on Friday night.

Pay’s side couldn’t score a point against the Roosters last Thursday night despite a mountain of opportunities and have been far from impressive in the opening two months of the competition.

The Bulldogs aren’t really dominating any facets of the game and I can’t really pinpoint a particular area to be concerned about on Friday night.

ABC 702 2GB 873

Of course, that doesn’t mean they’re no chance. Penrith need to be a lot better than they were against Cronulla on Sunday and indeed there’s probably a few question marks over just how well Penrith have been performing given the quality of opposition they’ve faced in the opening seven rounds.

The next few weeks gives the Panthers the opportunity to really make a statement about the legitimacy of their claims for premiership glory in 2018.

Not surprisingly, Griffin has made no changes to the side for Friday night’s game. There’s no reason to suggest the side that took the field on Sunday can’t get the job done against the Bulldogs, even though the Panthers would really benefit from a second playmaker in the halves.

Griffin will most likely persist with Tyrone Peachey as a stop-gap until Nathan Cleary returns in a few weeks, although Tyrone

May will also put his hand up for a return as early as next week’s game against the Cowboys in Bathurst.

Canterbury would be silly not to target James Maloney. The way Penrith’s play is structured at the moment, if you shut down Maloney you essentially halt Penrith’s momentum. If Maloney is out of play, skipper Peter Wallace really needs to step up to ensure the side’s attack doesn’t break down.

As for Penrith’s game plan, they’ll try to keep it simple given the short preparation but their superior fitness should be part of the weaponry on Friday.

Keep the ball in play, tire the Bulldogs’ big men and try to get energy from defence.

In front of a big crowd at Panthers Stadium, I just can’t see Penrith dropping this one.

Tip: Panthers by 18.

PANTHER RUMBLINGS

with the Masked Panther

MAY SET FOR RETURN » Five-eighth Tyrone May is set to be

given clearance to return to the field after recovering from the ACL injury he suffered in the Finals last year. Penrith coach Anthony Griffin may face a tough decision, however, with question marks over whether the 21-year-old should be rushed straight back into first grade. May is likely to be available for selection for next Friday’s game against the Cowboys in Bathurst, but Griffin would probably be more comfortable having him return through reserve grade. However, Penrith’s ISP side has a bye next weekend, adding to the headache.

Ready to return: Tyrone May

» Josh Mansour’s potentially season-

ending injury has thrown his plans for next year into disarray. The off-contract 27-year-old was hoping for a strong 2018 to ensure he secured top dollar with his next contract, but now faces at least three months out of the game. He could even be gone for the entire year after having major facial surgery on Monday. It’s the second straight year Mansour has missed an extended period through injury and you’d have to wonder if Parramatta, who reportedly had a big money offer in play, would be getting cold feet. The Panthers are keen to re-sign Mansour but won’t pay overs.

» Forward Tim Browne will return to

light training next week as his recovery from a ruptured bowel continues. The 30-year-old suffered the injury playing in the ISP back in round 2 and it’s great to see him fighting his way back.

» Plenty have been critical of the sched-

uling of Penrith’s game in Bathurst on a Friday night, but it’s shaping up to be a bumper crowd. The grandstand as well as gold and silver VIP packages have been sold out, with only general admission tickets left for the Panthers / Cowboys blockbuster at Carrington Park.

PLAYERS STRUT THEIR STUFF NATHAN TAYLOR @natetaylor87

W

hen local shoppers visited Westfield Penrith last Thursday night to snap up some bargains or do the weekly groceries, they didn’t expect to see four players from the Penrith Panthers strutting their way down a catwalk in the middle of centre court.

In a clear sign that the modern day rugby league player is very different to the ones we cheered on in yesteryear, James Tamou, Dean Whare, Dallin WateneZelezniak and Sione Katoa traded in their stylish liquorice allsorts kit for the latest in autumn fashion.

Wearing the latest trends from retailers including Country Road, Peter Jackson and Myer, the boys didn’t look one bit out of their comfort zone as they paraded the stylish new wear in front of a full crowd of interested – and perhaps at times confused – onlookers.

Making the fun event even more unique was the fact that three players had their young families modelling on stage with them.

Panthers players swapped their footy boots for the catwalk last week Barclay and Bronx along for the ride, while centre Dean Whare had his partner Tash and children Mila and Zaliah part of the action too.

Panthers utility Sione Katoa brought along his partner Jade and son Chase, while Dallin Watene-Zelezniak was the lone man flying solo with his wife Purdy looking after their baby son Orlando back at home.

Westfield Penrith Centre Manager, Michael Beverly, said having the Panthers players and their families involved was a

unique and memorable experience for the crowd watching on.

“The Penrith Panthers are such an important part of our community, partnering with them is a really fun way to showcase our new autumn trends whilst at the same time giving our customers at Westfield Penrith a unique and memorable experience in-centre,” he told Extra Time.

ROOKIE KEEN TO LOCK DOWN SPOT NATHAN TAYLOR @natetaylor87

P

enrith Panthers rookie Kaide Ellis said receiving his debut jersey from long-time friend and teammate Isaah Yeo was one of the most memorable moments of his life.

Not only do the pair both hail from Dubbo in the state’s central west, but the duo played for the same junior and senior clubs, their mums work together and dads even played footy together.

On top of that, Ellis and Yeo also live with each other – proving that their bond goes further than just rugby league.

Ellis said the support he’s received from his housemate and the entire town of Dubbo has been overwhelming.

“Isaah and I are close mates, we live together and we are with each other all day. It’s pretty rare for two people from the same town and same junior clubs to go on and play first grade together,” the 21-year-old told Extra Time.

“I received loads of support from people in Dubbo, many who I didn’t even know.

People on social media were so proud that another Dubbo boy was playing first grade and it really meant a lot to see all of that support.”

Ellis made his first grade debut in front of 30 of his nearest and dearest during Penrith’s big win over the Gold Coast Titans in Round 6.

While Ellis was a late withdrawal against the Sharks last Sunday, he’ll never forget his debut game and the moment he was sinbinned shortly after he hit the field.

“It was a first I think (getting sinbinned on debut), I won’t forget that one,” Ellis said.

“I still don’t know what I did to this day but I think I was just unlucky. It certainly made my debut more interesting and it was pretty funny how it all played out.”

Following a man of the match performance in Penrith’s State Championship Final win over the PNG Hunters last year, Ellis made it his mission to make his NRL debut in 2018.

Following a chat with Panthers coach Anthony Griffin in the pre-season, Ellis worked hard to make his dream become a reality.

“I sat down with Hook at the end of preseason and we went through my goals for the year. My goal was the same as it was last year – to play NRL,” Ellis said.

“I probably wasn’t ready last year, I

Origin audition for Campbell-Gillard this Friday night

ANDY RAYMOND

J

ust when you thought it was safe to put your footy tips in with confidence, the Eels and Cowboys found form in what was another rollercoaster of a round in the NRL last weekend.

After copping criticism following the Cowboys’ loss to the Bulldogs in Round 6, Johnathan Thurston answered his doubters the only way that champions know how, with performance.

Speaking of answering their critics, who would have thought the winless Eels were capable of putting 44 points on Manly, the team that beat them 54-0 in Round 2!

Such is the nature of the competition this year that anything is possible and the Panthers almost pulled off the impossible at Southern Cross Group Stadium on Sunday when they scored two tries in the final three minutes to set up a grandstand finish against the Sharks.

Unfortunately for the Panthers they fell just short of the mark, but if the form of James Maloney is anything to go by, you’d be a brave person to tip against them this weekend or most weekends for that matter.

Anthony Griffin seems to have the

Panthers singing off the same hymn sheet this season with Maloney steering the ship like he’s been at the club for a decade and with news this week that Nathan Cleary is set for an early return from a knee injury, things are looking good for the mountain men.

The Bulldogs may have struggled for points against the Roosters last Thursday night, but if there’s one thing you can guarantee this weekend it’s that Dean Pay will have his men ready and raring to go.

Add to that the State of Origin audition between Aaron Woods, David Klemmer and Reagan Campbell-Gillard (pictured), and it’s set to be a game not to be missed.

Campbell-Gillard has been one of the form front-rowers in the competition this year and can all but book himself a ticket on Brad Fittler’s Blues bus with a strong performance against Woods and Klemmer this weekend.

Let’s strap ourselves in and get ready for what will no doubt be another crazy and unpredictable round in the NRL! Don’t forget you can watch every game of the 2018 NRL season live and ad-free during play on Fox League. You’ll find it on Foxtel on channel 502.

Why Nathan Cleary shouldn’t be picked for Origin opener

JAMIE SOWARD

N

othing would make me happier than seeing Penrith Panthers halfback Nathan Cleary play State of Origin – I just don’t think it should be in Game I. While there’s a chance the 20-year-old will be back from injury for one or two games before NSW coach Brad Fittler picks his Game I side, I honestly don’t think that’s enough time to prepare him for the challenges of Origin footy.

It could have a negative impact on Cleary’s long-term representative career.

With Cleary three to four weeks away, I personally think he needs at least a month of footy under his belt to even be considered for a Blues spot.

Let’s be honest – all going well for the talented youngster, Cleary will be the Blues halfback for at least the next 10 years, that’s why I strongly believe there is no reason to rush him straight in for Game I in Melbourne.

I also don’t think Panthers boss Phil Gould and coach Anthony Griffin would like to see him picked for Origin I either, knowing how important he is to their side too.

If Cleary was an Origin veteran of 20 games or more then things would be far different.

He could be selected on short preparation because he knows what to expect in the game’s biggest arena.

But Origin takes a lot out of you, it’s not an extra three games of footy – it’s so much more than that.

It’s the new style of preparation, the constant media scrutiny and tonnes of expectation.

Cleary also plays the most important position in the team, adding even more pressure on the kid.

We all know he’s the Blues’ best chance to win an Origin series, but rushing him in so soon after his first major knee injury is plain silly.

Blake Green or Luke Keary should partner James Maloney in the halves for Game I, and if that combination fails to fire, Cleary should definitely be considered for Game II. Should Nathan Cleary be selected for State of Origin if he’s back from injury?
