Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3592017, member: 8423"] Penrith are still easily top two if not still number one. The reality is, the only other team who could match them last year has also been affected significantly by the salary cap - us. Like them, we are relying on the kids coming through to be ready and hopefully, ours are a bit more ready than theirs and I am quietly confident that they are. Honestly, Penrith's centres look like a real weakness area as does their bench, which you have not been able to see for the last four years. They also have Luai as a handbrake at 6 against the better sides still. Of course the salary cap should also have affected the Roosters but you know, they suddenly had an issue that disappeared and allowed them to still sign Young and Leniu despite that. But back to the game, I honestly feel sorry for Penrith and I never thought I would say that. I just can't help but feel annoyed for them because these WCC games don't come around all that often to be just totally stitched up and still have the professionalism to shake hands at the end and be gracious in defeat, it says a lot about them as a side. Even so, imagine that was us there (as it should have been if not for 15 mins of the GF), that would be heart breaking. Penrith were the better side and had TWO completely dodgy tries, not controversial, completely wrong, lose them the game. [/QUOTE]
