PANTHER RUMBLINGS

with the Masked Panther

BRANDY'S BACK » Penrith’s new halves combination of

Matt Moylan and Nathan Cleary got some high profile help on Tuesday when club legend Greg Alexander strapped on a pair of boots and offered some advice to the duo. ‘Brandy’, Penrith’s greatest ever halfback, looked like he could run out onto ANZ Stadium himself this Sunday – looking remarkably fit in his training gear (and clearly enjoying it, too!). There’s no doubt the advice from the 275 game veteran would have been invaluable to Cleary in particular, who this weekend welcomes his fourth halves partner since debuting last year.

Matt Moylan and Nathan Cleary with Greg Alexander

» A couple of other keen observers were

watching on as the Panthers trained at the Academy this week. General Manager Phil Gould and Recruitment Manager Jim Jones both keenly cast their eye over the sessions on Monday and Tuesday, which most notably saw Matt Moylan training at five-eighth. Moylan had returned to the Penrith camp after being released by NSW at the club’s request, but was back with the Blues team on Wednesday ahead of the State of Origin opener at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. Our photographer captured Moylan deep in conversation with Panthers coach Anthony Griffin during Monday afternoon’s session, presumably discussing the 25-year-old’s move to the number six jumper.

» Bryce Cartwright had surgery on his

knee last week, but there’s no definite return time slated in at the moment.

Speculation puts the recovery time at anywhere between six weeks and three months, meaning there’s a strong possibility Cartwright will only return for the last few matches of the season. With offfield issues still swirling around his head and an ongoing ankle issue, there’s every chance the time away from the week to week grind may do Cartwright the world of good. Carty was spotted at Panthers training on Tuesday morning, supported by a pair of crutches.

» Earlier this year I reported on interest

shown by the Wests Tigers in Peta Hiku, with suggestions that an official conversation had even taken place between the Tigers and Penrith in regards to a possible mid-season switch. I’m told that any possible move to the Tigers was off the table as soon as Ivan Cleary’s club signed Dragons forward Russell Packer. The pair have a personal history and Hiku would be unlikely to ever play in the same team as Packer unless it was a truly desperate situation.

» The Panthers will head to Bathurst on

Wednesday and spend a couple of days visiting schools and holding coaching clinics ahead of next Saturday’s match against the Raiders. There’s plenty of anticipation surrounding the team’s arrival in town and almost no doubt they’ll be treated like celebrities by the locals.

» The Australian Kangaroos will face

Fiji and Papua New Guinea in an historic contest in Suva ahead of the 2017 Rugby League World Cup. The innovative format of the match will see all three teams face each other on October 14, at Suva’s ANZ Stadium. Fiji will face PNG before Australia takes on both PNG and finally Fiji.

All three match-ups will last 40 minutes.

» Talking of the Rugby League World

Cup, there’s legitimate fears that players could take strike action that would threaten the tournament if their pay dispute with the NRL isn’t sorted out soon.

Most fans have blissfully ignored the pay dispute story but it’s getting some real traction now, especially with Kangaroos captain Cameron Smith being so publicly critical of the NRL this week. I’d suspect the whole thing will get sorted out, but

there’s little doubt that both the players and the clubs are starting to have more and more concerns about how the game is being run at NRL headquarters.

» Talking of the NRL at war with the

clubs, get ready for round 2 when head office takes over some of the game’s digital offerings, including the mobile apps currently run by the clubs themselves. There’s already talk that a disaster is looming.

BULLDOGS

Josh Mansour is back

TROY DODDS @troydodds

T

he ‘season so far’ for both Penrith and Canterbury reads strikingly similar, so it’s probably no surprise to see them sitting side by side on 10 competition points heading into this Sunday afternoon’s clash at ANZ Stadium.

Like the Panthers, the Bulldogs have notched up wins when they were needed most but have failed to find consistency, leaving a frustrated fan base to ponder what the second half of the season will bring, knowing it could go either way.

As we reflect on the opening 12 rounds of the competition, it’s safe to say the Bulldogs have fared a little better than

Penrith. While they were hammered 36-0

by Manly back in Round 4 and couldn’t keep up with the Cowboys a few weeks ago, there’s been some positive signs in a lot of their losses.

They’ve played the high flying Roosters twice, going down by four and six points, and managed to hold Melbourne to 12 points back in the opening round, losing by just a converted try. Last Saturday night they well could have upset Cronulla at Shark Park, but fell to a late field goal.

They’ve also had some impressive wins, including their 10-7 victory over Brisbane back in Round 5, and a tough 16-10 win over Canberra at ANZ Stadium.

Penrith too can tell plenty of ‘almost’ stories, including close late losses to the Roosters and Rabbitohs, but have been outplayed in too many games for most fans’ liking.

While the Panthers have finally won

back to back games and look to be back in contention for a Finals spot, there’s two glaring issues that stand out.

The first is that the sides they’ve beaten this year are currently running 13th, 15th and 16th on the ladder. You can only play what’s in front of you, but it hardly offers confidence about the results to come.

The other issue is pretty obvious – first halves. Penrith has only scored one first half try in the last five weeks, and has been completely outplayed in the opening 40 minutes. In all but one of those games, they fought back to either make the scoreline respectable or produce an unlikely victory, but it’s still far from good enough.

Penrith coach Anthony Griffin has had to deal with some selection headaches this week with both Bryce Cartwright and Peter Wallace missing through injury, but thankfully Josh Mansour finally makes his return and will certainly add

some much-needed grunt and power to the backline. Penrith has missed his kick returns enormously this year.

Mitch Rein gets his opportunity to play first grade at Penrith in place of Wallace, while Griffin has switched Matt Moylan to five-eighth, a natural progression for the skipper and one that has probably come a little earlier than most expected.

This will be a tough contest and while I’m tipping the Panthers will be much better in the first half this week, I still think they might be behind at the break.

In the end though, they should have too much attacking flair for a Bulldogs side that too often goes into its shell when the bounce of the ball doesn’t go their way.

The weekend off should also give Penrith an advantage, especially after Canterbury’s grinding affair with Cronulla last weekend.

Moylan’s move may not bring immediate results

JAMIE SOWARD

W

ith Panthers star Bryce Cartwright getting injured during Penrith’s win over Newcastle a fortnight ago, the Matt Moylan experiment at five-eighth is about to begin.

I know a lot of footy experts and supporters have been calling for Moylan to wear the number six jumper for a long time, but I personally still see him as a fullback.

Yes, Moylan’s played one State of Origin game at five-eighth and he gets his hands on the ball enough anyway, but it’ll be the defensive load that he’ll have to deal with that will pressure him the most.

I have no doubt that the Panthers skipper will be able to handle it and it will probably be a better move for the whole team. But it will take some time adjusting and, to be honest, Penrith don’t really have the time to be in an adjusting period.

Moylan is a big game player but he’ll have to get his hands on the ball early and get involved straight away.

What the Panthers have been lacking this season is organisation, and I think this move gives Nathan Cleary a chance

to be a little bit more organised. Bryce Cartwright is one of the best backrowers in the country, when he’s fit, but he’s been playing out of position a lot this year at five-eighth.

I think with Moylan in the halves alongside Cleary, Penrith’s organisation will improve immensely. Plus young gun Dylan Edwards, who will get his chance at fullback this week, is a good organiser too.

What’s great about this new combination is that you’ve got players who are comfortable with pushing other players into position.

The big problem with Cartwright at fiveeighth was that he was a backrower and was asked to do a job that he was not used to.

This Sunday against the Bulldogs, you’ll notice Cleary continue to do a lot of the kicking with Moylan doing a lot of the organising near the line, which will hopefully help Penrith’s attack.

On another note, one player I do feel sorry for is Te Maire Martin, who I believe didn’t get a long enough chance to settle himself into Penrith’s halves.

Martin’s young and he was always going to take some time to learn, but when I

played with him last year, his form was very good and it was just unfortunate he got an injury that ended his season early.

The best thing for Martin now is to continue to play good footy in reserve grade and perhaps make a move to

another club in the not too distant future.

I personally would have preferred to have seen Martin stick it out in first grade a while longer, but coach Anthony Griffin has gone in a different direction and it will be fascinating to see how it all plays out.

LIFE'S JUST PEACHEY NATHAN TAYLOR @natetaylor87

P

anthers utility Tyrone Peachey is a changed man after the birth of his beautiful little princess, Penelope, back in January this year.

The 25-year-old former Cronulla Shark was once the life of the party, often hitting the town for a night of fun and drinks after a Penrith victory.

However, these days, things are a lot different at the Peachey household.

Not only is the Indigenous All Star recently engaged to his partner and mother of his child, Kellie, but he’s also neck deep in daddy duties.

“I do the nappies and all that,” Peachey admitted to Extra Time.

“It’s been four and bit months since Penelope was born, she’s getting big now.”

Before Penelope’s birth earlier this year, Panthers insiders say the livewire backrower was your typical young NRL star – living life as if the world revolved around them.

However, the birth of his daughter has changed Peachey for the better. He now prefers to stay at home and watch his daughter play than decide who will buy the next round of drinks.

“The best thing is seeing her little smile, everything about her is perfect,” Peachey said.

“She’s so cute and she’s starting to get a little personality now.

“It has settled me down; I don’t want to leave her. She’s too cute and growing up too fast.”

As with all new mums and dads, being a parent certainly has its challenges.

Whether it’s dealing with a sickness, changing a nappy or calming down a tantrum – parenthood certainly isn’t for everyone.

Tyrone Peachey with his daughter Penelope Peachey said he’s received some much needed advice from his fellow teammates, like James Tamou, Sam McKendry and Dean Whare, who are also young fathers.

“Some of the boys told me that if the baby is crying and I’m a bit rattled by it, to make sure the missus is close,” he joked.

“There’s a few of the boys having kids

now, so training has turned into a bit of a ‘Father Club’ which is good.”

Joining Peachey in ‘Father Club’ soon will be teammates Josh Mansour and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, who also announced recently that they too were expecting their first children with their respective partners.

PLAYERS MAY STRIKE NATHAN TAYLOR @natetaylor87

A

s the ugly pay dispute between the Rugby League Players Association (RLPA) and the NRL rages on, Panthers and Kiwi centre Dean Whare is concerned that his dream of playing in the 2017 Rugby League World Cup could be in jeopardy.

Earlier this week, Melbourne Storm captain and RLPA General President Cameron Smith refused to rule out potential strike action after being angered by the NRL’s response to the player union’s pay demands.

If matters with the game’s governing body aren’t sorted out soon, it’s been reported that some of the NRL’s biggest names could strike and sit out the upcoming Rugby League World Cup – a disastrous consequence for the international game.

Whare, who recently returned to the international arena with the Kiwis back in April, said it’s very concerning that the game’s future is so up in the air and that

strike action could be a possibility down the track.

“The senior players and RLPA have a policy set in place and it’s up to them to sit down together and decide what we are going to do,” he said.

“It’s a big issue at the moment, with no one knowing what’s happening next year.”

Whare said it’s a goal of his to play for New Zealand in the end of year World Cup but he’ll be sure to monitor proceedings closely over the coming weeks.

“For us players, we have delegates and senior players that go into meetings with the RLPA and then we get updated every one to two weeks about what is going,” he said.

“We haven’t had a big chat about it this week but no doubt we will soon.

“It’s another goal for me and a lot of players to play in the World Cup, hopefully it can be sorted out soon.”

Meanwhile, Whare said he’s refreshed and ready to do battle against a desperate Canterbury Bulldogs outfit this Sunday afternoon at ANZ Stadium.

After spending his bye weekend with family, the 27-year-old is confident he

Panthers centre Dean Whare chatting with journalist Nathan Taylor on Tuesday along with his teammates are in a good place as they aim for three straight wins for the first time this year.

“A few of the boys needed a freshen up after playing nearly every game so far this

year, so the bye came at the right time.

The Bulldogs are a quality team and it will be a challenge for us this week to try and start fast and get on the front foot early,” he said.

BLAST FROM THE PAST

THE MEN IN CHARGE

C

oaching a first grade rugby league team is one of the most stressful jobs in world sport, and 17 men have had the privilege of that stress at the Penrith Panthers.

Penrith’s coaching history is full of twists and turns, starting all the way back in 1967 – the club’s inaugural year in top grade rugby league.

Leo Trevena was in charge in that first season, his debut year as a coach having played for Western Suburbs and Canterbury during the 1950s.

Trevena was replaced at the end of the 1967 season by Bob Boland, who was in charge for five seasons before Trevena returned to lead the side in 1973 (a wooden spoon year for Penrith).

Trevena passed away in 2013.

The little-known Jack Clare took over for the 1974 season, while Mike Stephenson was credited as player-coach for much of 1975. Later in 1975 Barry Harris took the reigns, coaching the side for a total of 28

matches before he moved on at the end of the 1976 season.

1977 saw the arrival of Don Parish at Penrith, a New South Wales and Australian representative who had previously coached Western Suburbs. Parish struggled to get results, winning just 10 of his 44 games in charge of the Panthers. Midway through the 1978 season, he was told he wouldn’t be required for 1979.

Len Stacker then coached Penrith for the 1979, 1980 and 1981 seasons, before John Peard took over for 1982 and 1983.

Things started to look up for the Panthers when Tim Sheens arrived in 1984. He would go on to coach Penrith for nearly 100 games, including to its historic first Finals appearance in 1985.

Ron Willey took over in 1988 and 1989, before the arrival of the legendary Phil Gould.

In his first season at the club, Gould took Penrith to a Grand Final, and a year later he won the club’s first premiership. Gus would ultimately coach Penrith 109 times,

Len Stacker (wearing glasses) watches on from the stands during his tenure as coach leaving during the 1994 season as the Super League war started to erupt.

Royce Simmons, who had only retired from playing three years earlier, took over as coach for the rest of 1994 and wouldn’t leave until the end of 2001. He holds the record for the most games in charge of the Panthers (177), finishing with a win percentage of 42.9 per cent.

With the Simmons era over, John Lang landed in the coach’s box in 2002 and a year later, guided the Panthers to their second title. He would coach Penrith until the end of 2006, when he was replaced by Matthew Elliott.

Elliott coached Penrith to a wooden spoon in his first year, and struggled to find success at the club, only making the Finals once during this tenure. He was sacked by Phil Gould half-way through the 2011 season and replaced by Steve Georgallis, who coached the side 11 times – the least of any coach in Penrith’s history.

Ivan Cleary took over in 2012, coaching Penrith 98 times (equalling Tim Sheens), while Anthony Griffin arrived in 2016.

Officially, Ron Willey is the most successful Penrith coach of all time with a 66 per cent winning rate, but Gould and Lang without doubt made the biggest impact.

We have moved all the way to next door!
