Thomas Jenkins

Now, live, right across Australia, the continuous Colt team.

They're in trouble here, the Tigers, through the hands, long pass, Pavali, Pavali, cut up on Thomas Jenkins, and there's number 30 for the

year, the milkman, he's level with Alex Johnston.

with Mike Pearsall, Daryl Broman, Mark Riddell and Neil Breen.

Wow.

I would take Tom Jenkins over Daniel Tubbo.

I would take Jesse McLean over Billy Smith.

I'd take Cleary over Walker.

Look, you know, I wouldn't, I'd have to disagree with you.

I'd take Edwards.

I'd take Tom Jenkins.

Casey McLean, I'd take over.

They're in the top three in the, in the Jersey flag competition.

Um, they've still got a heap of young fellas talents coming through the system and they've been able to bring in, you know, your, your Casey McLean's and those sorts of players, your Thomas Jenkins and, um, you know, Lindsay Smith, uh, those sorts of players, Liam Henry that have come in and just picked up where the others left off and, They've been moulded into a championship team again.

So I think their strength is their culture and now the confidence born of demonstrated ability, the confidence that they've been on this road so many times.

They handle any sort of football.

So that was really great.

But yeah, I think throughout the season, just jumping on players that were going good, like Simi, jumping on Thomas Jenkins, like really early in the piece.

And probably the team I started with probably set me up quite well.

I had like a real nice like kind of classic mix of guns, cheapies and mids.

So there are, like, I tried to find the percentages, but I couldn't find them when I was having a look before.

But I know that there's a few players who have been really, really good in classic who are a little bit more potty and not so much owned.

Like Thomas Jenkins, like, comes into mind here.

So that's probably my, would be my take on it, is just I wouldn't go the full pod, like, if you're actually aiming to win the Hilux.

Captain's back in business this year.

Jenkins has the record.

The Dolphins go back to back.

The time has come.

I think it's important to have that nucleus there of those sort of eight or nine guys that you mentioned because they uphold the values of what we want to be like and they sort of bring everyone else up as well to what the standards are but having young guys come in and guys from other clubs who haven't felt that success or what it's like to be a part of the Panthers culture, you want them to feel it and feel good about it as well and I think each year that happens is exciting and Yeah, it's a credit to everyone that's come in as well.

They've just come in wanting to learn and buying in.

And you see it with guys like Casey McLean, even Tom Jenkins coming back and how well they're going.

And it's a pleasure to play along.
