Questions for Penrith

Is Sunia Turuva better than we all thought he was?Are Penrith better at this stage of the year than they were last year?Is Dylan Edwards now favourite for the Blues No.1 jersey?Does Linsday Smith’s rapid development mean Penrith don’t need a new prop for next year?Are Brisbane (and maybe Melbourne) looking the only chances to stop a four-peat?

Game over - Penrith win 42-12

The end couldn’t have come quick enough for Souths. A 30-point loss was probably what they deserved. Penrith scored the final 42 points of the match. You can’t but feel for Damien Cook. Finishing his 200th match on the wrong end of a score like that is one thing - doing it at fullback is another.

More misery for Souths

There were green shoots in view for Souths in the first 15 minutes. After that it has just kept on getting worse. I guess a miracle fix was too much to ask for, but it’s hard to say the exit of Jason Demetriou has seen any improvement. Penrith are without Nathan Cleary - and have not played well to boot - and they’ve still lapped their opponents. Just when you think enough’s enough - Taylan May scores. Penrith lead 42-12 after 78 minutes.
