PANTHER RUMBLINGS

with the Masked Panther

CLEARY SHOWDOWN » The date has been confirmed for the

highly anticipated ‘Cleary Showdown’ at Pepper Stadium with the Panthers and Wests Tigers to do battle on Sunday, August 6 at 4pm. The clash will see Ivan Cleary coach against his son Nathan for the first time, with the build-up to the game likely to be huge. The NRL released the schedule for the final six rounds of the competition on Monday with the Panthers to appear on free-to-air television four times in great news for the club’s sponsors and stay-at-home fans. The final six games are: • Round 21: v Bulldogs (7.50pm Thursday, July 27 at Pepper Stadium) • Round 22: v Tigers (4pm Sunday, August 6 at Pepper Stadium)* • Round 23: v Cowboys (7.30pm Saturday, August 12 at Pepper Stadium)* • Round 24: v Raiders (2pm Sunday, August 20 at GIO Stadium) • Round 25: v Dragons (4pm Sunday, August 27 at Pepper Stadium)* • Round 26: v Sea Eagles (5.30pm Saturday, September 2 at Lottoland) * Denotes Channel Nine game

have suddenly become public enemy number one with fans voting overwhelmingly for them to go if a Sydney side had to re-locate. Fletcher said he suspected the whole thing was purely a media story and not much else, but pointed out that the Panthers are going to extraordinary lengths to ensure they are self-sufficient with significant development on the Panthers site.

» Mitch Rein’s good form of late has the

Panthers considering a contract extension for the fill-in hooker, who is off contract at the end of next season. Rein has given coach Anthony Griffin a significant headache with the 27-year-old’s form probably warranting him staying in first grade even when Peter Wallace returns in a couple of weeks.

» The MG Cup has become a huge force

in rugby league and the finals were held at Pepper Stadium on Wednesday. It was great to see club legend Mark Geyer as well as State Penrith MP Stuart Ayres in attendance to watch some of the best junior talent in rugby league on display.

» The Nines tournament is in huge doubt » Tickets for the 2017 NRL Telstra for next year and the Panthers are supporting calls for the novelty event not to go ahead in 2018. While there’s already talk that Auckland may be off the agenda as the host city, it’s now being suggested the Nines may not run at all especially given concerns over player welfare with a World Cup to be played at the end of this year. I spoke to Panthers CEO Brian Fletcher on Tuesday who confirmed the club would support a call for the Nines to be removed from the rugby league calendar in 2018. It follows Penrith’s highly publicised concerns about the tournament earlier this year, although ironically the side went on to finish runners-up.

» I also spoke to Brian Fletcher about the debate that emerged this week suggesting Sydney is too over-crowded in terms of NRL clubs. Sparked by Phil Rothfield in the Daily Telegraph, the Wests Tigers

Premiership Grand Final went on sale for club Members on Monday and to the general public yesterday (Thursday, June 29). Get them through Ticketek.

» The Panthers will be holding an exclu-

sive event for all Football Members on Sunday, July 9 at The Backyard, located outside TC’s Sports Bar. The Panthers NRL squad will be in attendance to meet and greet members at the event, before Panthers Executive General Manager Phil Gould addresses the audience. A sausage sizzle will be provided for all attendees, as well as the chance to win lucky door prizes. There will also be activities for kids with a jumping castle and face painting available throughout the day. Members can RSVP on the Panthers website.

» Some interesting Penrith Panthers

items regularly pop up on eBay, but one of the more quirky pieces of memorabilia on the website at the moment is a Perth Reds jersey worn by Panthers and NRL legend Mark Geyer. What a blast from the past this jumper is – with Ansett Australia the proud sleeve sponsor and the Super

League logo featuring prominently. “As rare as they come,” says the seller, who wants $1,399 for the item. If you are after a cheaper option, you can pick up Garen Casey’s 1997 Super League match worn Penrith jersey for only $700. One for the pool room.

TROY DODDS @troydodds

S

o, we’re going to do this the hard way.

With 10 rounds left in the regular season, the Panthers are outside of the top eight and now find themselves in a desperate battle to play Finals football. They need to win six, probably seven, of those final 10 matches to be playing in the post-season – a difficult but far from impossible task. Six of the final 10 games are at home, which is a significant bonus, and on the journey to September the Panthers only play two teams currently inside the top eight (albeit Manly twice).

Penrith are a realistic hope of making the

Finals but as last Saturday’s narrow loss to North Queensland showed, they need to improve significantly over the next couple of months.

The Panthers have the cattle and the skill, they just don’t have the game management. Poor last tackle options are crippling the side, as they have all season, a fact that is hardly surprising given the inexperience of Nathan Cleary at halfback. The game management issue can’t necessarily be solved in the next 10 weeks and will only come with time, but even some slight improvement would play a big role in getting those seven required victories.

The statistic that stands out from last Saturday’s game against the Cowboys is not line breaks, tackles, offloads or completion rates. It’s the one that shows the Cowboys forced three line drop-outs, while Penrith forced none. That comes

down to last tackle plays that are too often letting the opposition off lightly.

While the crowd will not resemble the one that will pack into ANZ Stadium on the first Sunday in October, I’m willing to say this weekend’s clash between the Panthers and Rabbitohs is the equivalent of a Grand Final for both teams. Win, and the season stays alive. Lose, and it might just be all over.

The Rabbitohs are fresh after enjoying the bye last weekend but have struggled for consistency this season, hurt by the loss of superstar fullback Greg Inglis and the up and down form of what was once a formidable forward pack.

These two sides have already met this season, with Souths winning a 21-20 thriller at Pepper Stadium. However, it’s hard to get a read on the likely outcome of this match from that game given the Panthers were significantly down on

troops due to both injury and disciplinary issues. On that note, perhaps Matt Moylan and Waqa Blake will feel they owe it to their team mates to put in a big performance on Sunday given it was their omissions from the match earlier this season that potentially cost Penrith two vital competition points that night.

It’s a shame that James Fisher-Harris still isn’t back from injury this weekend as the Panthers could do with a little more impact off the bench, with Viliame Kikau doing very little to impress anyone just at the moment.

I may be crazy given the Panthers’ inconsistent and unconvincing season, but I actually think they may run riot on Sunday. The team has an opportunity to make a statement about the next 10 weeks – if they fail, it might be time to look into some holiday plans for September instead.

Tip: Panthers by 16.

FINDING FITNESS NATHAN TAYLOR @natetaylor87

A

fter bursting onto the scene earlier this year with flying colours, rookie interchange forward Viliame Kikau has hit a rough patch in recent weeks.

Over the last three rounds, the Penrith prop has averaged just 10 minutes, 2.3 runs and one error per game.

Kikau’s statistics aren’t too out of the ordinary for players in their debut season but there is some concern from Panthers officials over the Fijian’s fitness and confidence in games.

Speaking with Extra Time after training on Wednesday, Kikau admitted that he would like to play more minutes when coming off the bench but needs to prove himself to coach Anthony Griffin first.

“Everyone prefers to play longer minutes but it’s up to the coach how he utilises the bench,” he said.

“To be honest, I have no idea when Hook is going to put me in but, over the last three weeks, he’s thought it’s a good idea to use me 10 minutes into the second half.”

Earlier this year, Kikau was averaging 27 minutes per match but his game time has drastically decreased this past month.

Kikau said he needs to continue to work on his fitness levels and remove some costly errors from his game.

“I need to improve the kilometres in my legs as well as the errors in attack – I think I’m overplaying my hand too much,” he said.

“If I have to play NSW Cup again to improve, I’m quite happy to do that in order to get better.”

Fellow Fijian Waqa Blake had a similar entry into first grade a number of years ago.

Bursting with plenty of talent, Blake

often had an error or two in him at crucial times in games.

Kikau said he’s sought advice from Blake and agrees most rookies have issues early on.

“I think that’s a big problem for every rookie coming up. I’ve seen a couple of my mates try and do it all, overplay their hand, not thinking about the job,” he said.

“I get plenty of advice but, when you’re in a game, it’s another atmosphere out there and you tend to forget a lot of stuff.

“I just need to go back to basics, which will help me play more minutes.”

Earlier this season, Kikau re-signed with the Panthers for a further two years, proving the club has plenty of faith in the giant force.

COREY'S NEW deal NATHAN TAYLOR @natetaylor87

P

anthers fans breathed a sigh of relief on Wednesday afternoon after it was finally confirmed rookie backrower Corey Harawira-Naera had re-signed with the club until the end of the 2020 season.

The 22-year-old forward was in hot demand on the NRL player market with a number of rival clubs desperate for his services.

However, following a strong start to the year, which resulted in six tries from 10 appearances, Harawira-Naera knew where his future was.

“I’m so happy and relieved to have re-signed with the Panthers as I never wanted to go anywhere else,” HarawiraNaera said.

“In terms of my development as a player, and even as a person, I know this is the right club for me.”

Harawira-Naera progressed through the junior grades at Penrith after relocating from New Zealand to join the club in 2013.

After winning the Holden Cup premiership in 2015 with the Panthers, HarawiraNaera made his first grade debut in Round 4 this year.

“Corey is another one of our players who has come through the Panthers development pathways to play first grade for this club,” Panthers boss, Phil Gould said.

“He was a member of our premiershipwinning NYC team in 2015 and has now firmly established himself in the NRL side.

“Corey thoroughly deserves this new contract and we are delighted he will be at the Panthers for at least the next three years.

“I see a long and successful career ahead for this lad.”

Extra Time understands the recent release of high profile players Te Maire Martin and Peta Hiku, helped give Penrith enough funds to get the Harawira-Naera deal across the line.

More players are expected to re-sign with the Panthers in the coming weeks including impressive young fullback Dylan Edwards and former Dragons dummy half Mitch Rein.

Harawira-Naera will play for the Panthers against Souths on Sunday.

Time is right for the NRL to become an 18 team competition

JAMIE SOWARD

F

orget an NRL team in Perth for now and the good folk on the Central Coast will just have to wait as well because I think the game should be introducing a new team in Queensland and New Zealand by 2022.

Expansion is a word not often spoken about by NRL heavyweights but I strongly believe it needs to happen and soon.

My old coach Wayne Bennett used to say “if you are not getting better, you are getting worse”, and the NRL is getting worse if they don’t think big and aim big.

I’m seeing no forward thinking, no vision from anyone at NRL HQ including CEO Todd Greenberg.

In 2015, the NRL signed a TV deal worth a whopping $1.8 billion and they say they don’t have enough money to run the game?

With the amount of money the NRL gets from TV revenue and the exposure it gets from Fox Sports and all the other media outlets, there’s no reason the game can’t be funded.

A new team in Queensland, preferably somewhere in Brisbane, as well as a new

team in New Zealand, to rival the Warriors, is just what the NRL needs.

New Zealand is the best rugby nation in the world and has more than enough talent over there to accommodate a second team, while Queensland are begging for another side, purely because they are so strong and love their rugby league.

Some experts will argue that there’s not enough depth and talent to fill 18 NRL rosters but I disagree.

Not only do you have some top quality English players desperately wanting a chance to crack the NRL, but the Under 20s competition is disappearing soon leaving hundreds of talented kids with nowhere to go.

Many fans also want to see Perth get an NRL team and, while I’m not totally against the idea, I think the NRL needs to invest where their strengths are first and that’s the eastern side of Australia and New Zealand.

Imagine having two teams in New Zealand and two in Brisbane – imagine those blockbuster local derbies. Plus passionate Queensland fans will have more chances to see top flight rugby league with even more games at Suncorp

Stadium rather than the 12-14 they get each year now.

Can the game be run better? Yes. Does the NRL have a lot issues it needs to fix

first? Absolutely. But let’s not ignore expansion, let’s plan for the future and start dreaming big.

The business end of the season is about to begin

troy dodds With 10 rounds to go, the competition is heating up. Here’s where I reckon your team’s fortunes will fall come the end of the regular season...

1st: Storm (44 points). Will have Cooper Cronk, Billy Slater and Cameron Smith fit and firing after the Origin period.

Shouldn’t drop too many games on the way home and will have the Minor Premiership secured nice and early.

2nd: Broncos (40 points). Still have a bye in hand, play Newcastle at Suncorp and in general have a reasonable draw. Wayne Bennett’s men will be primed for a real tilt at the premiership.

3rd: Roosters (40 points). Have been one of the most consistent sides in the competition this year. Have some tough games but if they stay in form, they’ll finish right up there.

4th: Sea Eagles (40 points). Trent Barrett has them firing and critics are now starting to believe (and fans are starting to dream). Have a tough-ish run but should be able to finish inside the top four.

5th: Sharks (32 points). Yep, my ladder predictor result has a big gap between the top four and the bottom four of the eight.

Cronulla will be there when the whips are cracking but their premiership defence may run out of puff.

6th: Eels (32 points). Will have to overcome some tough games but right in the mix for a strong finish.

7th: Panthers (30 points). Need to find some consistency but a good draw and a chunk of home games will help.

8th: Raiders (28 points). Ricky’s men are in some trouble but I think they’ll do enough to make the Finals.

9th: Cowboys (26 points). Despite last week’s effort, I’m struggling to see them making the eight without JT. 10th: Dragons (24 points). You heard it here first: They’re gone!

11th: Warriors (24 points). Another disappointing season from a side that promises so much on paper every year.

Boyd Cordner is leading the Roosters to another Finals series. Photo: Melinda Jane 12th: Rabbitohs (22 points). Just haven’t been able to click this year and struggled after losing Greg Inglis so early in the season.

13th: Titans (22 points). Despite showing good signs through the year, I just don’t think they’ll finish well. Could be very wrong here especially if Jarryd Hayne fires and produces a 2009-like back end of the season.

14th: Bulldogs (20 points). Have now lost James Graham to injury for a month. In big trouble.

15th: Wests Tigers (14 points). I expect they’ll snag a couple of late season wins.

16th: Newcastle (10 points). I just can’t see the Knights doing much more this year. They have a very tough run. Wooden spooners in 2017.

SCOREBOARD

MIRACLE COMEBACK

NRL COWBOYS 14 PANTHERS 12

Celebrations at the end of the game TROY DODDS @troydodds

R

ugby league can produce some remarkable moments and memories, but the events of June 4, 2000 will live in the minds of Penrith Panthers fans forever.

It’s regarded as one of the most remarkable comebacks in NRL history – a day that had Penrith fans in raptures and Wests Tigers fans in absolute shock.

It’s probably fair to say that a big chunk of the 16,000-strong crowd at Penrith Stadium back on that June afternoon would have already left the ground with the Panthers down 31-8 to the Tigers mid-way through the second half. It appeared the Tigers had done enough to win the game and had certainly

out-played Penrith for much of the game. But proving that rugby league can sometimes deliver the impossible, Penrith would mount an incredible fightback to eventually win the game 32-31, recording what still stands as their greatest ever comeback.

The comeback started in the 57th minute when some fancy passing and ‘hot potato’ football saw Shane Elford score in the corner. Chris Hicks converted to make the score 31-14, but victory still seemed an impossible task.

That was until the impossible became the probable – in the very next set, Craig Gower went from dummy half to score under the posts and with the conversion, Penrith were just 11 points behind with 20 minutes to play.

With 15 minutes left, sustained pressure saw Penrith attacking the Tigers’ line and a slick play to the right saw big Tony Puletua carry numerous defenders over the line with him to score. Hicks

converted again, and the score was 31-26.

With the crowd going wild, Penrith continued to force their way down field and with 10 minutes to play, Puletua strolled over for his second try as the Panthers continued to expose weak defence on the Tigers’ left hand side.

Hicks landed the conversion from close to the sideline to put the home side up 32-31.

The Panthers still had to hang on for 10 minutes to win the game, but after coming from so far behind, there was no way Penrith was going to surrender the lead.

When all was said and done, the Panthers not only came from 23 points down to win, but had scored four tries in just 14 minutes to complete one of the most special afternoons ever recorded at Penrith Stadium.

Commentator Ray Warren labelled it a “Houdini performance”.

OUR PURPOSE AS A “MAN” YOU NEVER SEEM TO ADDRESS THE PAIN OR STRESS WE’RE IN. We also feel that it is either too much of a hassle or even somewhat embarrassing to ask for help, so we let the simple things go without its due attention. Then the unthinkable happens, we find ourselves in all sorts of trouble.

The Man Cave Experience is about exposing the easy pathways to getting the right help and advice on our mental, physical health and well-being so we can get on and enjoy life.

DOING GOOD

It’s all well and fun to throw amazing events & trade expo’s, but we want to do more for our community. Raising awareness for Men’s Health is important to us.

CHARITY & WELL-BEING

We proudly support charity & well-being; life is a crazy adventure and we’ve learnt firsthand how fragile it can be. It’s important to look after yourself.

CONVERSATION

The first step in addressing any issue is starting a conversation around it. Men traditionally don’t think about their health until it’s too late. Let’s change that.

HAVING FUN

Life is short. You have to enjoy it while you can! It’s our mission to provide a fun, outgoing environment for our team and our customers.

Let’s enjoy this adventure.
