F

or the first time since round 3, the Penrith Panthers find themselves outside of the top four and face a real battle to get themselves back in there to ensure they’re a realistic shot at this year’s title.

The fight from fifth starts on Friday night against a Broncos team that sits in eighth spot, missing the opportunity to join Penrith on 24 competition points with a disappointing performance against the Warriors on Sunday.

The match stats showed Brisbane played better than the scoreboard suggests but anyone who watched the game could see they were down on energy and lacked any sort of enthusiasm.

For Penrith in their loss to Cronulla it was the opposite – enough energy and enthusiasm but too many mistakes and silly errors when it really mattered.

The Sharks’ kicking game had the Panthers rattled at times and Cronulla always appeared to be on top, with their experience really shining through. Coach Anthony Griffin summed it up well when he said it was a good enough performance from Penrith, but a disappointing result.

Preparation could be the difference between Penrith and Brisbane on Friday night. This will be the Panthers’ third consecutive Friday night game and consistency in your pre-match routine is never a bad thing. The Broncos meanwhile have a rare five-day turnaround, and with Wayne Bennett admitting the side was rattled by pre-match distractions last weekend, it’ll be interesting to see if they can bounce back quickly.

This is a game where a couple of Penrith powerhouses really have an opportunity to step up and shine. If the Panthers win, I’m expecting both Waqa Blake and Viliame Kikau to have huge games. Both appear on the verge of a standout performance, and against a quality team like Brisbane they’d like nothing more than to deliver.

The really good news for Penrith is the return of powerhouse winger Josh Mansour. To win a competition these days, or at least threaten to win one, you need quality wingers who can finish off slick back-line plays and provide a few solid hit-ups to add some spark to slow sets. Mansour will provide plenty of that, though he may be a little shaky after so long out of the game so it’s unfair to expect anything too spectacular this early.

The return of Tyrone Peachey will also add some much-needed spark to Penrith’s

attack on Friday night. He’s been named on the bench and often has his best games when he comes on late.

There are some doubts over James Maloney heading into this one. He was scheduled for a fitness test on Thursday.

With seven games to go until the end of the season, the Panthers sit at a fork in the road. They either fall further away from top four contention and simply make up the numbers come September, or they have a real crack at this thing. Brisbane probably sit at the same fork. Both sides may be heading in different directions come full-time on Friday.

I may have egg on my face come 10pm Friday but I actually think Penrith can do quite a number on Brisbane. If everything clicks, the Panthers will just have too much for a Broncos side that threatens to be under-prepared for this one.

PANTHER RUMBLINGS

with the Masked Panther

NEW DEAL FOR KIKAU » The Panthers have re-signed power-

house forward Viliame Kikau until the end of the 2022 season. The 23-year-old was off-contract at the end of next year but Penrith have been keen to secure his services long-term for some time. Kikau said: “I know this is just the beginning and I can’t wait to see what the future brings.”

Viliame Kikau has re-signed with Penrith

» Which Penrith player was with a group

of friends who were asked to leave a number of city establishments last weekend? There’s no suggestion the player himself did anything wrong but he may need to question the company he keeps.

» St George-Illawarra has secured the

services of former player and first grade referee Luke Phillips, who had been on Penrith’s coaching staff for the last two seasons. Phillips was also on Brad Fittler’s staff for the recent State of Origin series.

I’m hearing that Phillips felt under-utilised at the Panthers, which may provide a little bit of insight into the issues surrounding head coach Anthony Griffin at the moment.

» Did Anthony Griffin recently meet with another Sydney-based NRL club? It’s been hard to confirm the rumour but it’s certainly doing the rounds.

» Four-year-old Brax is the proud new

owner of Penrith second-rower Corey Harawira-Naera’s footy boots. The young fan, who is part of a Panthers-mad family who are season ticket holders, asked the 23-year-old for the boots after the Panthers’ loss to Cronulla last Friday night.

Not surprisingly, CHN was more than happy to oblige, making Brax’s day.

New breed of talent is shining bright in NRL

MATT RUSSELL I

labelled Round 18 last weekend as the Debutant’s Ball.

It started and finished with NRL first timers smiling broadly after achieving, no doubt, a boyhood dream.

On Friday against Cronulla, Penrith fullback Caleb Aekins ran for 277 metres – the most by any debutant in the history of Fox Sports Stats (1999 onwards)!

Come Sunday night on the Gold Coast, three Roosters scored in their first topgrade appearance – Sean O’Sullivan, Paul Momirovski and Poasa Faamausili. You have to go back to the Broncos’ first game in 1988 to find something similar.

I was lucky to interview all of them afterwards. They were fantastic – confident, well spoken, natural, genuine, informative, delighted, relieved.

Each year rugby league’s revolving door has greats of the game like Johnathan Thurston and Luke Lewis walk out, only to also see a new breed walk in.

Aekins became Penrith’s sixth debutant of the season.

Not only did he run 23 times for 277 metres, he also pulled off some memorable tackles and showed a cool head.

His arrival came a week after 2018 rookie Jarome Luai scored 20 points to beat the Warriors single handedly. Two tries, six goals, 10 tackle busts, a try assist, 175 kick metres, in one night. Not bad in your first season!

Jack Hetherington is a likely type in the forwards. Young, raw, combative, every inch a footy player. Just ask James Segeyaro and Andrew Fifita, who “helped’ Jack to the dressing rooms at Panthers Stadium last Friday.

Hetherington had one tackle bust in his first seven games. Now he’s had five in his last two outings. Warming to the role beautifully.

The other Penrith debutants are equally loaded with potential.

Christian Crichton has played 15 NRL games in his debut season, made his Samoan Test debut and quickly impressed fellow Panthers.

“Bad haircut, good rig”, they say.

“Samoan Sauce”, they call him, in a favourable comparison to Josh Mansour.

Then there are western New South Wales boys, Lithgow’s Wayde Egan and Dubbo’s Kaide Ellis. Hooker Egan has won six of

LOYAL LUAI: JAROME WANTS TO STAY NATHAN TAYLOR @natetaylor87

H

e’s currently in hot demand right across the NRL, but new Panthers excitement machine Jarome Luai wants it known that staying at Penrith is his number one priority.

Following a breakout performance against the Warriors earlier this month, the 21-year-old St Marys junior instantly became hot property. It’s understood Luai’s market value literally tripled after just one game.

Penrith fans got so excited that, for a moment, they almost forgot about their current halfback who was leading NSW to State of Origin glory.

Speaking with Extra Time from the Gold Coast this week, Luai said he would love nothing more than to remain at Penrith after his current deal expires in 2019.

“Oh yeah of course… I love Penrith, the people and the community,” he said.

“I was born in Penrith, so it’s always been my dream to play for this club. I’ve never really thought about leaving, to be honest.

“I love it here and hopefully it does happen [re-signing with Penrith].”

With Nathan Cleary also offcontract at the end of next season, it’s widely believed that the club won’t be able to fit both halves on their books. However, Luai said Cleary potentially staying at the foot of the Mountains won’t have any impact on his desire to remain at Penrith.

“I think even if Nathan decides to stay it will also be in my interest to stick around and try and play with him,” he said.

“Nathan and I came through the grades together, so it will be pretty cool to play with him as well.”

Following two standout performances against the Warriors and Sharks, Luai has been named on an extended bench for tonight’s important clash against Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium. Luai is currently on standby for both Dallin WateneZelezniak (hamstring) and James Maloney (toe).

Luai said if he can’t play in the halves for the foreseeable future, he’s happy to play at fullback or as a utility off the bench.

“I played two games of fullback last year and I really got familiar with the position,” he said.

BLAKE’S BACK WITH A BANG NATHAN TAYLOR @natetaylor87

fter 12 weeks on the sidelines nursing a serious ankle injury, Panthers centre Waqa Blake made a triumphant return to the footy field earlier this month, and is now firmly focused on guiding Penrith to a top four finish.

Since returning against the Warriors a fortnight ago, the 23-year-old Fijian sensation has scored in back to back games and is looking every bit the player he was before getting injured.

Speaking with Extra Time from the Gold Coast this week, Blake said he was rather anxious leading into his comeback game.

“I was nervous making my return, I hadn’t played for 12 weeks but what made my job easier was Jarome Luai, Viliame Kikau and Tyrone Phillips talking to me and helping me with my confidence throughout the game,” he said.

“I was pretty lucky to get tries in both games and I definitely put it down to Vili and Jarome.”

Blake also credited Penrith’s coaching and medical team as well as his partner Jessica for helping alleviate his concerns.

“There was a bit of fear at first but we have really good medical and coaching staff here and everyone helps out. I just had to do my bit and that’s what I did,” he said.

“As soon as I got the surgery I spent four weeks on crutches and then I was home with my partner and daughter. It was great spending more time with them but I couldn’t do anything or help around the house much.

“I have to give it to my partner though, she did it tough but she really pushed through having to look after another baby… me. It was a long recovery but I’m very glad to be back.”

After going through a horror run with injuries as well as the dreaded representative season, Penrith are finally starting to get some troops back at the business end.

The Panthers have named five players to make their return this weekend including three of their Origin stars as well as powerhouse winger Josh Mansour.

“Josh is a massive inclusion, he brings a lot of experience and has played rep footy for Australia and NSW,” Blake said.

“He’s a player you want to play with and he brings a lot of effort in attack and defence. It shows on the field in tough games.”

An insight into tonight’s coaching battle

JAMIE SOWARD I

’m anticipating tonight’s clash between the Brisbane Broncos and Penrith Panthers at Suncorp Stadium to be one of the games of the year.

And while the players will be putting on an awesome spectacle on the field, I’m very much looking forward to the battle between tonight’s two coaches: Wayne Bennett and Anthony Griffin.

I’ve been coached by both during my career, and I must say there’s some similarities and plenty of differences between the pair.

Firstly, ahead of a big game like tonight’s for instance, Anthony is very structured in the lead-up whereas Wayne would often let his players prepare themselves before making sure they were up to speed with everything right before kick-off.

Out on the field, Anthony is a very defensive-minded coach, which means we don’t often see his teams kick inside the 10. He is structured and likes to know where his sets finish. Wayne, on the other hand, differs because he allows his troops to play what’s in front of them. He’s a very ‘eyes up’ type coach and lets players back themselves. Wayne often said “don’t

change your mind halfway through doing something because that’s where you make errors”.

When it comes to half-time, both Wayne and Anthony enter the sheds pretty calm.

Anthony isn’t very animated when he talks, while Wayne will first go around and check on everyone. He then gives his players some time to calm down before delivering his half-time message.

Both coaches very rarely give their sides a spray because, if they do it too often, it eventually doesn’t have the same impact.

At the Dragons, I was coached by Wayne for three years and at Penrith, I was coached by Anthony for just a few months. I found Anthony wanted me to be more tough whereas Wayne was more of a father figure to me. In the end, that probably reflected what each of them got out of me.

Tonight’s game is certainly a big one for both coaches, there’s plenty of history between Anthony and Wayne and a huge rivalry. Every time you play you try and get one up on your opponent and it’s no different for these two coaches.

Anthony will desperately be trying to get

Panthers coach Anthony Griffin will be looking to get one up on Wayne Bennett tonight his side right after Origin but somewhere along the line he’ll want to get one over Wayne – and vice versa.

Anthony’s certainly got the wood over Wayne in head to head match ups, which is a good sign for Penrith fans.

I’m predicting this to be the game of the year to date. Both teams really need to consolidate their position in the top eight, especially the Broncos, and the Panthers have got to work their Origin stars back into the side. Bring it on!
