The Penrith era is over. Aside from Cleary who will miss at least most of the next year if the reports on the injury are accurate, Martin, Edwards, Yeo and Leota are sliding. If Penrith start being one of the top teams again, it will be with a only a few of the team which lost yesterday.

Yep lets hope they didn't play their GF this week, much like the Phins in their game. But yes all credit goes to them, wooden spooners to grand finalists is no mean feat, Obrien must be squirming in his seat right now.

Holbrook is a freak though, not many coaches re-invent football strategy (instead of copying the rest + trying to 'run hard tackle hard' harder than your opponent.. which only works for a short period), I very much doubt we will get that from Deano, his only shot is if he picks a gun assistant I reckon.

Kade Reed would've caught Sandon Smith (again) yesterday

We WILL have the players to beat the Knights. Even if the Knights get beaten by the Roosters in the GF most of their players values would be on the rise meaning their salary cap could be affected and that players either take a pay cut or leave and others shed. They ended up fitter than the Warriors and Panthers in both games. They most probably will have a let down for the next game after winning on the weekend.
O'Brien had the players but did not have the coaching nous like Holbrook who had an outstanding few years in the Super League and if given more leeway at the Titans could have got that team in the finals at least.
We have good halves now and with Reed, Hodges, Metcalf on our books we have good back ups.
