@Nepia I don’t think Kris is a true bolter just on the form that he and Timoko had for Canberra. CNK could be considered more of a bolter just on lack of first grade games! Likely one of Kris or CNK partner Hiku in the centres. Manu won’t be considered for anything other than fullback I suspect as he is that good
It’s a good squad, hopefully we stay injury free.

Kris is a bolter more on the fact he's actually a NZer than anything else (and chose to play for us).

So Penrith won everything
Gus just formalised their best advantage. They have sole dominion over the best rugby league nursery in the world. They develop the wealth of talent, their team is stacked with local juniors because they ALL grow up wanting to be Panthers. There is nothing else out there, rugby league is king
Throw in Sydney's fucked up property prices actively pushing league demographic families in to their area and the rest of the league should be worried.
Their top side won't be as good next year without kikau and apisau, but I don't bet against them unearthing good replacements.
And because they are local boys, and lots are family oriented poly boys, it's very hard to buy them away.

And they aren’t small families either, so there’s usually a younger bro or cousin coming through the ranks.
The system seems pretty solid but don’t underestimate the Sydney league media trying to find ways to get at them and unearth some controversy.

Good but even with the Island sides watering everything down probably not good enough to win the final.

@Mackerzzzz Maybe Foran on the bench?

So Oregon Kaufusi has been named in the Tongan and Samoan teams. He's also eligible for NZ too (and presumably Oz).

Maybe he did a Taumalolo and then forgot to tell the team he said he'd originally play for that he was defecting?
