No Johns brothers, but Richard Agar, Frank Pritchard, Geoff Toovey and Andrew Webster (Penrith assistant coach). Matt Parish clings on to the top job.

[Number 16]

Webster is an interesting appointment given the significance of the Samoan contingent at the Panthers.

Happy with that. I don't like the (borderline) bully tactics the Johns boys were using to get the gig.

Whilst Matt Parish remains in charge, I remain optimistic that we'll beat them in the WC opener

I agree with the second part.

They will undoubtedly miss having a world class coach in the tournament, Samoa.

Much as he is maligned on here for his time with GB, Bennett is one of the experts at timing in tournaments. His fingerprints were all over the Kiwis win in the RLWC 2008, despite Kearney being nominally in charge.
