F

resh from their lucky escape against Canberra in the nation’s capital last Friday night, the Panthers head to Allianz Stadium tonight to take on a Sydney Roosters side that themselves were fortunate to get the two competition points on the road last weekend after a thrilling win over Newcastle.

For Penrith last week it was a case of taking the two competition points and forgetting about the game. It was far from the side’s best performance, but any victory during the Origin-disrupted period is a bonus.

Unfortunately Anthony Griffin’s side didn’t escape chilly Canberra unscathed with exciting forward Viliame Kikau

suffering a knee injury that will keep him out for several weeks. It’s a shame as Kikau was having a solid year and would have relished the opportunity to take on the highly regarded Roosters. Jack Hetherington returns from suspension to replace him.

This clash promises to be a beauty, and it’s an opportunity for one of these sides to make a real statement.

The Panthers have confirmed they’re the real deal in 2018 but victory against a side that contains the likes of Cooper Cronk, Boyd Cordner and Latrell Mitchell would certainly silence any remaining doubters.

The Roosters meanwhile were one of the premiership favourites before a ball was kicked this year but they’ve struggled to really stamp their authority on the competition. They almost gave victory away to the Knights last Saturday, and only beat the Tigers by a whisker at Allianz Stadium

2GB 873 ABC 702

the week before. In both games, a single bounce of the ball could have seen the win go the other way.

I’m expecting a very open game of football. Both sides have excellent line engagement, and both top of the table as far as kick return metres is concerned. I’m tipping plenty of try scoring opportunities to be created and a lot of second phase play throughout the contest.

Where this game could break down is errors and penalties. Nobody concedes more penalties than the Panthers, while the Roosters top the league in both errors and handling errors. Penrith are nowhere near the Roosters in that regard and in fact are completing an average of 79 per cent of their sets – the fourth best in the competition.

This is a real danger game for the Panthers. While they’ve been solid in defence for much of the year there’s

no doubt they can be caught out with a little bit of flair from the opposition.

The Roosters have plenty of players who can provide such flair; the likes of James Tedesco, Latrell Mitchell, Blake Ferguson and Victor Radley are real game breakers who the Panthers will have to be on high alert for.

Griffin has rightly given his Origin stars a light week at training and they’ll be primed to take on a side many still regard as one of the competition’s benchmarks.

Dry conditions are tipped for tonight’s game, which should allow for a freeflowing game of footy. I can’t see this one being a blowout either way but with the amount of confidence they’re playing with at the moment, it’s hard to go past Penrith getting home again, even though you would think this winning run has to come to an end eventually.

Tip: Panthers by 6.

PANTHER RUMBLINGS

with the Masked Panther

WAQA READY TO RETURN » Strike centre Waqa Blake is set to return

for Penrith’s next home game against Manly on June 30. At a pinch he probably could have played against the Roosters tonight but the club’s coaching staff will give him a little longer to recover from the ankle injury he suffered back in April.

Waqa Blake is on the verge of returning from injury

» Also set to be back for the Manly game

is forward Viliame Kikau, who suffered a grade one MCL tear against the Raiders last Friday night. There were initial fears the 23-year-old had suffered a bigger injury but scans revealed he’ll only miss the one match for the Panthers.

» While Peter Wallace knew for some

time that his career was most likely reaching its conclusion, he first had serious talks with Penrith coach Anthony Griffin about mid-season retirement after the Knights game in mid-May. The 32-year-old could feel his body was letting him down after a tough and rugged career that was often halted by injury. Wallace will be remembered as one of the club’s great warriors. It’s such a shame he exits the game without a premiership ring.

» With Wallace departing, James

Maloney will officially take over the captaincy of the club. It’s a logical choice given his experience and leadership role.

» Anthony Griffin is carefully manag-

ing his star players through the Origin period. Blues stars Nathan Cleary, James Maloney, Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Tyrone Peachey were all given the long weekend off after the victory over Canberra and missed Monday’s training session. Despite the short preparation ahead of tonight’s game against the Roosters, Griffin is aiming to make sure he doesn’t over-work his key men through the busy representative period.

» A big congratulations to Jarome Luai

and his partner Bailey who welcomed a little baby into the world last Thursday.

Israel is a strong and healthy boy, weighing in at 4.2kg and 53cm long.

» The Panthers membership team will

head to Queensland next month for a roadshow of sorts, holding a number of events for Penrith fans across the border.

It’ll coincide with Penrith’s game against the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium on July 20.

» Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and James

Fisher-Harris are locked in to play for New Zealand in next weekend’s Test match against England in Denver. Only injury against the Roosters tonight will rule the duo out of the team. Dean Whare and Corey Harawira-Naera are also in contention to be selected.

» Spotted: Injured Panthers forward Sam

McKendry doing a spot of shopping at Southlands in South Penrith over the long weekend.

» Spotted: Chairman Dave O’Neill out of

the suit and in his sports gear at Panthers training on Monday. No truth to the rumour that he’s auditioning to replace Peter Wallace at hooker.

» They wouldn’t admit it publicly, but I’m told a couple of the Penrith boys are really into ‘Love Island Australia’.

» There’s a little whisper doing the

rounds that the Panthers have been sniffing around to see who’s on the market to sign before June 30. If anyone does join the Panthers, it will be a depth signing.

» It was great to see Reagan Campbell-

TRIBUTES POUR IN FOR RETIRING WAL NATHAN TAYLOR @natetaylor87

F

ollowing his shock retirement from the game this week, Panthers captain Peter Wallace is being remembered as one of the toughest, most inspirational players to ever lace on a boot.

After 240 NRL games, the 32-year-old informed teammates of his difficult decision to retire via WhatsApp last weekend.

The former NSW Blues half had been battling injury this season and last played for the Panthers during their Round 10 win over the Newcastle Knights.

“It’s an incredibly selfless act from Peter,” Panthers General Manager, Phil Gould said.

“He always had great faith in the young players coming through our system here at Panthers and has played a huge part in their development as both footballers and people.

“Peter has been battling with injury for

several years and has repeatedly played for the club with injuries that would keep the normal man home in bed.”

It is understood Wallace and Panthers coach Anthony Griffin first discussed the prospect of an early retirement several weeks ago.

It’s also been revealed that Wallace played the last two seasons with no ACL in his knee after his last knee reconstruction failed.

“Management and coaches knew of his condition, but he didn’t want anyone else to know,” Gould said.

“I can also remember him staying on the field for 50 minutes in a game where he had completely torn his ACL. He is a tremendously tough individual and his leadership has been wonderful for our club.”

Speaking on Wednesday, Wallace said he knew for the last few months that 2018 would be his farewell season.

“I just thought it was time,” he said.

“It was hard to come to that decision and even harder telling everyone but now

Peter Wallace speaking with the media on Wednesday. Photo: Melinda Jane that it is out there, I feel a lot more content with the decision.”

Born in Melbourne, Wallace made his NRL debut with Penrith in 2005. He played the bulk of his career in Brisbane after switching to the Broncos in 2008.

He returned home in 2014 to play out his remaining years with the Panthers.

Gould said Wallace will take up a position on Penrith’s coaching staff for the remainder of the season and beyond.

“His experience and relationship with

our players will be a wonderful asset for our program at Panthers. I can see Peter enjoying a long-term future in coaching at Panthers,” he said.

Wallace said he’s looking forward to his next chapter at the club.

“I think coaching is a natural fit for me, I really enjoy helping young fellas improve,” he said.

“Being there for them, not just on the field, but off it too. It’s probably a natural progression I suppose.”

WHARE BREAKS LONG DROUGHT NATHAN TAYLOR @natetaylor87

4

41 days – that’s how long it was between tries for Panthers centre Dean Whare, who finally broke his try scoring drought against Canberra last Friday night.

“I forgot how to score tries, I score heaps at training but not out on the field,” he told Extra Time.

“It was good to get one halfway through the season though, there’s not that much pressure anymore. Hopefully the tries keep rolling.”

The New Zealand centre hadn’t crossed the white stripe since Round 4 2017, when Penrith hammered the Newcastle Knights 40-0 at Panthers Stadium.

Whare, who has now notched up 36 tries in his 120-game career, said he wasn’t frustrated not being able to score points because he was still able to contribute by putting his teammates over instead.

“I don’t score too many tries, I usually set

up more than I score – that’s the important thing for me,” he admitted.

“As long as we are winning and we are still in the top four… not scoring wasn’t really on my mind.”

Thanks to his all-important four-pointer in the 75th minute against the Raiders, Whare will also avoid the dreaded end of year nudie run.

While some pundits still believe the nudie run is classic rugby league myth, Whare assures that it’s an actual thing.

“It’s 100 per cent true, players who don’t score have to do it at our training facility,” he confirmed.

“I think half of them don’t mind doing it actually – even some players who score tries during the year still do it.”

Meanwhile, Whare is hoping his newfound try scoring form transfers over to the international game as he gears up to face England in Denver next weekend.

Whare will learn if he’s made coach Michael Maguire’s side for the historic United States Test following Penrith’s game against the Roosters tonight.

Dean Whare scored a crucial try against Canberra last week. Photo: Megan Dunn The 28-year-old Kiwi veteran said he’s ready to go if he gets the call-up.

“These are the games you’ll remember for the rest of your life. To go over to Denver with the New Zealand team will be awesome,” Whare said.

“I’ve spoken to Madge once and he

seems like an awesome guy. He’s really bought into the Kiwi culture, to try and make this team number one again.”

Other Panthers in line for a New Zealand jumper include Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, James Fisher-Harris, Corey HarawiraNaera and even Sione Katoa.

As tough as they come: The legacy of Peter Wallace

ANDY RAYMOND

H

e may not have been the flashiest or fastest player to ever lace up a boot, but this week the NRL lost one of the toughest players to have played the game. Panthers hooker Peter Wallace.

Whether it was in a Panthers, Broncos, New South Wales, City Origin or Scotland jersey, Wallace never took a backwards step or let anyone down.

No matter what jersey Wallace had on his back he made an impact for his team, whether he was booting the winning field goal for the Panthers against the Broncos in round three of 2007, winning back-toback Man of the Match Awards in his first two performances for the Broncos in 2008 or making a line break with his first touch in the Origin arena, Wallace was never far from the action.

When asked to move from his preferred halfback role into the hooking position in 2016, Wallace did so with little fuss or fanfare. He took to his new role like a duck to water and went within a whisker of getting an Origin recall.

Wallace has helped to bring through this current crop of Panthers superstars and he’s led the way when times got tough.

Such was his commitment to his club

and team mates that Wallace battled through the last two seasons with no ACL in his knee after a failed reconstruction, but not once in those two years did Wallace complain, he just went about his business. Wallace’s professionalism and leadership will be missed on the field by the Panthers, but there’s a reason why Phil

At Panthers on the Prowl we have been looking at how we can approach problems in a systematic way. We can begin by exploring whether a situation has a solution or needs to be accepted. If it has a solution, we can examine the good and bad outcomes of those possible solutions and determine which option is the most acceptable. One thing that Jake was able to recognise is that there is not always a perfect outcome and that our values can help us decide which negative outcomes we can live with. These are sophisticated ideas for primary students but Jake brought a very mature approach to these lessons.

Well done Jake.

The Peter Wallace I knew

JAMIE SOWARD O

ur nickname together was ‘Team Jaffa’. Wal was the hard, crispy no-nonsense red shell and I was the smooth chocolate inside.

When Peter Wallace and I joined the Panthers together in 2014, we instantly gravitated towards one another. Not because we played in the halves together but because we both wanted to do something special at Penrith, to solidify our small place in the game.

As soon as we stepped out onto the old training paddock at Panthers Stadium, I noticed straight away that Wal was an instant leader.

He was always the toughest guy pound for pound and to be able to bounce back from numerous injuries, including several ACLs, proves you can never question his want and desire.

Hearing Wal played the last two years without an ACL after his last reconstruction failed is pretty courageous stuff. It’s a real insight into how much this game means to these players.

Fans wouldn’t be as quick to criticise someone when they know how much they’ve sacrificed each week to play for

their club. To play busted for so long is an amazing effort from someone who typified what it truly means to be a Panther.

With the news of his retirement this week, I also wanted to share some of the off-field moments that made Peter Wallace so special in my eyes.

While Wal loves his wife and kids very much, he was always willing to lend a helping hand. I remember him popping over to my new place when I first moved here to make sure my lawn mower was built, so I could use it.

In 2015, when I was going through some personal issues, I remember he and then Panthers coach Ivan Cleary coming over to my house to watch Origin with me.

It really meant a lot to me that he took time out of his family life to make sure that I was OK. Wal and I were also amazing card players. On many bus trips to and from games, we’d partner up and win a lot of money against some of the young boys playing euchre. Team Jaffa reigned supreme on the bus, don’t worry about that!

As to where Wal will end up next – coaching seems to be the logical option.

Team Jaffa: Peter Wallace and Jamie Soward together at the Panthers He’ll be a fantastic coach one day, if that’s what he chooses to do. One thing I discovered when I retired is that you have to do something that you’re passionate about, that makes you want to get out of bed each day.

Wal and I always joked that he’d be the coach one day and I’d be the runner.

He could see things more and I could run out there and yell.

If you’re reading this Wal, the offer is still there… I’m available!

A quiet place of reflection & tribute K

Kemps Creek Cemetery 230-260 Western Road, Kemps Creek

9826 2273 admin@kempscreekcemetery.com.au

emps Creek Cemetery is a boutique cemetery unlike any other.

Owned and managed by Catholic Cemeteries & Crematoria, the memorial park is kept in line with the rural aspect of Kemps Creek, as the natural landscape of the area is embraced with rolling lawns and tranquil lake views surrounded by native bushland.

It’s no surprise that the cemetery has become a sanctuary for the community, as locals come to the serene memorial park and go biking, walk their dogs and enjoy the outdoors together, whether they have loved ones buried there or not.

The cemetery is a place bringing the community together with regular family events, monthly masses and a yearly carols event that drew over 500 people in 2017.

“Kemps Creek Cemetery also holds within its grounds Sydney Natural Burial Park, Sydney’s only eco-burial area,” Catholic Cemeteries & Crematoria CEO, Peter O’Meara said.

“Natural burial offers the community a simple and sustainable resting place with minimal disturbance to the bushland environment with no formal headstones, monuments or artificial wreaths.”

The latest research from the NSW State Government shows there are only 300,000 burial spaces in metropolitan Sydney.

“Based on projected population growth and death rates there will be a shortage of burial space in Sydney within the next 20 years, unless new cemetery developments are approved,” Mr O’Meara said.

“As most families prefer to be within 30 minutes from the cemetery, it is beneficial to purchase a burial spot ahead of time in a preferred location.”

With a funeral more than a place to say goodbye, a Statement of Wishes enables you to record information and arrangements in advance that will assist your family and funeral director to ensure you have a service with personal touches that reflects your personality. Contact us for one.

For a free copy of our Statement of Wishes booklet please call us on 02 9826 2273
