  • Jennings

    What a player this guy is, and what a signing he will prove to be

    I've been waiting longer than I care to remember for a crack centre like him, and now the wait is well and truly over

    Yep. He is the goods. Him and SBW will make an awesome combo, for sure.

      Did you see Jennings accelerate well before SBW even met the defence before the offload? To pick it that early, this early in the year is a great sign for things to come.

        We haven't had a great centre in years.

        Years.

          Hope he can keep the same intensity & enthusiasm that we have witnessed so far. The guy looked hungry the other night.....want to see more of it & for it to contagious.

            My only worry is his ability to set up support players.

            He's probably bombed two tries this season.

            From memory he fluffed one in the Foundation Cup also.

            But yes, will be a massive difference for us.

              One of the best players, he was fast and strong. Hopefully he can continue his performance for the rest of the year.

                Looks to be suffering from a lack of confidence to me at the moment. As soon as he puts a couple of tries on the board I can see him absolutely killing it.

                  I wouldn't say lack of confidence just new surrounding, different players around him that's all. The bomb try against vermin in round 1 I put down to that freak they have at the back. I think he put him in two minds of what to do. If mini went inside and left topou outside it would have put Inglis in a difficult spot. The other night topou came inside but I love the fact Jenko went himself. He probably got the ball on the line but the video just couldn't show it.
                  Like you said once he gets 1 or sets up topou for one the flood gates will open. We need to attack down that side as much as possible.

                    Class act. To me he looks bigger and stronger than before. I don't think he is as quick as people think over 50 yards but his acceleration, footwork and swerve are second to none.

                    As others have said he probably should of laid on a few more tries, that will come with a better understanding with his winger. Also when he has broken into the back field there have been some quick players after him. Inglis, Locke and Fisiiahi are no slouches.

                    The good thing is he is young with his best footy ahead of him. Great signing.

                      I'm hoping Michael can convince his younger brothers to join him

                        lacking confidence?
                        its been two games. each game hes been sent clean through the line by one of his inside men.
                        confidence isn't the problem, team cohesion is.

                          In the first match against South Sydney I felt that Michael Jennings was let down by his support play. For whatever reason Anthony Minichiello forced himself between Michael Jennings and Daniel Tupou instead of supporting back on the inside to give options and place doubt in to Greg Inglis' mind but once Anthony Minichiello gets between the centre and his winger the decision is made for Greg Inglis and Michael Jennings is forced in to a rush pass to a player who shouldn't have been there.

                          Saturday night he could possibly have passed the ball earlier but he did exactly what people wanted him to do in round one and was very unlucky not to score. Absolutely nothing to worry about in this regard.

                              Forward to about 1:50 for the Harris try - he was one mean centre, to have him now along side Jennings. Could SKD be the next Mark Harris? OK - next question
