Checked the weather for Penrith on Thursday, Sunny, 10% chance of rain.

Cleary not playing - confirmed by panthe

 

[Blake]

Cleary out for 3 weeks.

Nathan Cleary to miss first three weeks of NRL season

Penrith hoped their star halfback would be fit for the season opener but have decided to err on the side of caution.

Cleary not playing - confirmed by panthe

Penrith must have some old school training methods

 

[Eagle 1]

Just had a bo-peep on the Panthers forum site, it's hilarious !! started of, we'll beat Manly by 14 they'll be tough at first but we'll get on top. To, oh s.... Clearys out, it doesn't matter if we lose the first game, we need to see how we go without him...lol.

Heard the players on Thursday will be offered floatation devices so they reduce the risk of drowning. Evidently the ground at Penrith is covered in water. If rain persists chance game will be postponed or abandoned, that then asks the question when do you play it or fit it in being the draw doesn't allow for that.

Well, in that case, as it's a Panthers home game that can't be played, guess they'll just have to forfeit the 2 points

Imagine the money involved for all parties in Game One of the 2022 season. It'll be played.

Penrith Panthers vs Manly Sea Eagles​

Penrith Panthers
The biggest question facing the Panthers ahead of Round 1 was the fitness of Nathan Cleary, however, he has now been ruled out of at least the opening three weeks. That means Sean O'Sullivan will start in the halves, with Kurt Falls the next cab off the rank if any problems were to strike either O'Sullivan or Jarome Luai.

Matt Burton and Paul Momirovski will be replaced with Stephen Crichton, who moves back to centre, and Izack Tago, with Charlie Staines likely to edge out youngster Taylan May for the vacant wing spot. The rest of the team is as was for the grand final, although it's tipped J'maine Hopgood is in contention for a spot on the bench.

Manly Sea Eagles
The Sea Eagles have been hit heavily by injuries leading into Round 1, particularly in the second row where all of Haumole Olokau'atu, Josh Schuster and Ben Trbojevic will be missing. That means Sean Keppie and Karl Lawton are likely to start on the edge, opening up more bench spots - likely one for Andrew Davey, and the other for a middle forward in the shape of Toafofoa Sipley or Josh Aloiai (should he miss out), taking that Ethan Bullemor already had a spot on the pine in Manly's best 17.

Martin Taupau was also under a cloud, however, it's tipped he will be right to go. The rest of the Sea Eagles' side will be at full strength.

Pity Zero tackle didn't take the time for a bit of research,... Aloiai's suspended...

Big start to the season against a team we have beaten only twice since 2011. No wins up there since 2011 and its time to change that fact!

Lets see what the team has learned from last years start. To beat them its very simple, limit our errors, get repeat sets and take our chances. Due to the weather it might well be a low scoring one so the little things will really count.

Looking forward to this match!

Foran out apparently
