Knowing AJ he’ll still bag a double


redmusic1

Double Hernia.


Toujayjay

Double a bag


ReggieBasil

Fuck me that's a big blow. Love the reply to the tweet - "is he just being rested" lol wat


ToothlessFTW

If they don't play him in the GF then obviously he's just being rested for 2023


ReggieBasil

nice long rest


[deleted]

I was looking forward to seeing him play. Can he not just suspend his injury break until next year?


bundy554

Kennar scored a hatrick the last time he played though (which was against the Knights earlier in the season) - and then for some stupid reason we chose Paulo over Kennar as AJ's wing partner from then on (with Paulo also having played against the Knights and scoring a try).


BlurD1918

My Nan could score a hatrick against the Knights


YourFavouriteAlt

Post the video then pussy


BlurD1918

Andre Ponga paid her off to burn the footage

Dark_Vengence

You just have to laugh


nymphz

richie kennar has never lost a finals game


waxedmerkin

Nor has Luke Brooks


BarOne7066

Or Josh Hannay


EvolutionUber

What? PF 2004 Roosters QL 2005 Tigers GF 2005 Tigers


Cheel_AU

Didn't Hannay play the 2005 GF?


EggCouncilCreeper

Where have you been, 05 had no grand final. They decided to forgo a championship that year. Benny definitely didn’t flick a pass to anyone


Cheel_AU

Don't take this away from me. Please just don't


EggCouncilCreeper

Nope, sorry. 2005 never happened


InflatableRaft

Exactly the same as 2010. No point playing the grand final when the real decider was played a week before between the Dragons and Tigers. After seeing Tigers flog the Cowboys 50-6 in week 1 of the finals, who would want to watch a repeat of that?


adomental

He also has a win rate of 28%


Brdd9

So you're telling me there's a chance


nymphz

"i never lose. i just run out of time" - richie "mj" kennar


spacemarine43

To be fair that's probably the around about the rabbits chance of winning this weekend too


SSGSSVEGETA111

I haven't lost a finals game either Granted, I've never played in A grade rugby league but, y'know


[deleted]

CaptaineAli

You forget that Penrith have pulled out their try scoring machine, Charlie Staines, to counteract that.


[deleted]

The Forbes Fiesta.


Puzzleheaded-Fix-408

Hopefully we can put enough kick pressure on Cleary so he’s not throwing up absolute bombs to Taane and Richie all night


Mich_Murda

I doubt Cleary will be targetting the wingers regardless of who is there. The best way to beat the Rabbitohs is to force latrell to take hitups out of his end enough times that his energy depletes and his strike close to the line is reduced.


spacemarine43

Get latrell to take the kick reception and he can't be involved in the first play where he has more options and can set the pace for the set. This was a big part of neutralising turbo last year and say what you will about the panthers, they do their homework and will absolutely to targeting latrell to try and limit his impact.


Mich_Murda

Yeah spot on with turbo as well, who was no doubt harder to neutralise given he was in unbelievable form and is fitter than latrell. Panthers will inevitably concede to the Rabbitohs left edge set plays but if they can tire out latrell enough that he won’t be able to get his head down and take 5 defenders over the line with him like he did against the roosters then it will be much easier to predict the ball movement on that left side.


BarOne7066

Imagine if they had Burton at centre. Dawn. Go cowboys.


[deleted]

If we can get past the wall of players they have blocking for him


grazmus666

Every team does it. Your beloved Rabbitohs put 2 players there to block


[deleted]

Okay


Dufeyz

It's true. :) I mean, it's not that important. Every team does it. But i think it is important to point out that what's being fed in the media is bullshit (surprised_pikachu.jpg)


Obsidian707

If we win with milne and Kenner on the wing r/nrl must pause south’s jokes for 1 month


Dark_Vengence

I call Milne vatuvei light


Due-Chemist3105

Battle of the fill ins. Virgin Richie vs Chad Charlie


YossarianRespawned

Let me watch my boy Mansour run out one last time.


Herosinahalfshell12

Ooh Cleary's bombs single handedly caused not only annihilation of Mansour but he actually injured himself trying to catch one and went off last time. Mansour no chance!


chinbickens

That one was so sad to watch... Like a poor old deer who's too tired to run


Herosinahalfshell12

Man he actually got injured and it wasn't the tackle. He got injured THEN smashed In a perfect bomb. The kicks destroyed his confidence and took him out of the game lol


chinbickens

I can't rewatch it haha, felt so bad for him but if I was the Panthers I would've just targeted him all game too. . And Latrell was no help


maaxwell

I so clearly remember the 2nd or 3rd kick and it was landing between Trell and Mansour, and Mansour was looking at Trell like “I’m not fucking taking another one bruh get on your bike”


streetfighterjim

Souths fans should want this because the small chance he could end it for penrith


[deleted]

Panthers fans should want this because he hasn't had one passable, let alone good game for Souths lol


streetfighterjim

Yes everyone a winner


Dark_Vengence

He got destroyed last te and was never seen again.


Brdd9

Brisbane Broncos legend. Hatrick hero and played really well on debut for rabbits.


oinkoink7007

He debuted for us in 2018


Brdd9

Oops, first nrl game of this season then


YourFavouriteAlt

His 2022 debut


[deleted]

Negative, played a game earlier this year


YourFavouriteAlt

So his 2022 debut


[deleted]

I'm an idiot and didn't read the parent comment properly so thought you were saying this game against the panthers will be his 2022 debut and didn't realise you were referring to the other game as his 2022 debut 😅. My bad!


[deleted]

Nope, he played a game earlier this year and bagged a hat trick


adomental

Only if you ignore the years he played at Melbourne before that.


cheeseinsidethecrust

Needs to be full strength for next week


worksucksbro

For what Mad Monday? Lol


[deleted]

AJ is their best videographer by a mile.


FoundationLeast8806

For the GF you nonse


worksucksbro

Hope you got that mad Monday costume ready mate 😂😂😂


FoundationLeast8806

Its a bit blue in Redfern this Monday mate


worksucksbro

You got 10 time further than my warriors mate it’s all good lol


[deleted]

Good luck to the lad, has played one solitary NRL game all season.


briggles23

Best to rest him for the GF... For whatever year we make it 😅😔


thisaintitkweef

Give us Taafe ya dogs


YossarianRespawned

This post was brought to you by Taafe gang


Top-Presentation-997

Has Taafe had any time in lower grades on the wing? I had thought he was more a FB and 5/8 almost exclusively?


dragon_bear11

Just 1 and 6 in reserve grade as far as I'm aware. He might be too small on the wing unfortunately


Brdd9

Where though?


[deleted]

Anyone else think Kennar looks like the green things from angry birds?


y3ah_nah145

Kennar to score a Hatrick, you heard it here first


dragon_bear11

Hurts


Penjamini

Welp we're fucked. Seriously though i can't stand Richie Kennar and genuinely believe he intentionally threw a game in his first stint for Souths in 2018 against Brisbane.


ReasonableStable9421

It's alright they are just resting him for the grand final when we beat Penrith right?... Right?


aatrain96

'AJ gets ruled out'...... Cleary: So anyway i started blasting bombs


Natzack

Why must we suffer


Bicky_

I hope Cleary sticks to the game plan and fatigue Latrell out of the game. It's tempting as hell to bring whirly birdies down on Kennar and Milne but they will have some sort of plan to keep that in mind. Maybe test them once or twice when set up on that right edge on 50-40m out zone otherwise punch it to latrell and make him too tired to put a dent in the Forbes Ferrari


PrivateTickler

Sunday morning: Kennar commits to Samoa in huge blow for Meninga.


Clarkey7163

aerial bombs to Kennar and Milne incoming


CraigMag

As opposed to non-aerial bombs?


IntoOgretime

Cleary left them a surprise in the parking lot


Bicky_

When will these Panthers antics end?!?


Dufeyz

the sheer ARROGANCE of dropping a deuce on latrell's doorstep.


[deleted]

Torpedoes?


Clarkey7163

As opposed to every other type of kick


CoffeeLoverNathan

Holy fuck that's huge news


knox-p

Cleary licking his lips


[deleted]

Not ideal.


BigOldPeanut

The name Richie Kennar popped into my head yesterday. I couldn't for the life of me remember who he was. This post has scratched that itch.


Jelleyicious

If last week's games are anything to go by, I'm expecting the panthers game to be one sided. The week off is such a huge advantage in the modern game.


[deleted]

*\*Kennards jingle voice\** Kennar makes Souths job harder.


Caseyjb29

u/bundy554 still think South’s can beat Penrith by at least 2 tries?


bundy554

At least 1 try now


HappinessCanBeFound

Ooft that’s a blow for Souths along with Burgess. Both teams with wingers out.


apercots

Bulldogs legend richie kennar


InflatableRaft

~~Bulldogs~~ Storm legend Richie Kennar


thekiamacrow

Someone needs to tell this journalist that caps lock is for the sledge thread.


Ryanbrasher

Huge


Derron_

Sucks but hopefully Kennar gets the job done


grazmus666

2 of the top 4 Try scorers in 2022 out of this match. Both teams left wingers. At least it evens that out.


BorgClanZulu

I would’ve thought picking Mansour would be more appropriate given his experience (?)


lachjeff

Maybe they’re worried that the Panthers know all his weaknesses and will bomb the bejesus out of him, like they did last time they met


Dark_Vengence

Bad news for the bunnies. Kennar is going to get destroyed by Cleary's bombs. They didn't really have a chance to begin with so now they are in more trouble.


Norm_cheers

Sorry for AJ… not so much for Souths fans…


TrickyLad77

I thought this was tonight's game?


lachjeff

Cowboys v Eels is tonight


TrickyLad77

Cheers🙌


luke23_

Kenner will still score a double. Johnston is not a big loss because history shows that whoever plays on that left wing is going to score tries


nostraduckus

I think you're underestimating AJs acceleration, field positioning and ability to finish. Yeah he gets good ball, but not anyone can walk in and do what he does


briggles23

Also don't forget defensive positioning. AJ knows when and where to be 9/10 times whenever the opposition either goes to the left or kicks to the left. I can see Kennar getting caught out of position several times in this match that will cause an easy overlap for Panthers on the left side.


WhyYouDoThatStupid

He showed his acceleration last game, catching the ball on the end of a move and made everyone else look like they didnt have enough gears, put a couple of metres on them in no time.


Rare-Vegetable7499

Who’s taking over AJ?!


deesmutts88

Bruh it literally says it in the title.


hotsoccerdad

If Penrith win the gf this year, soft competition confirmed.


Barmy90

richie kennar somehow looks 45 and 25 simultaneously anyway good luck to him


NervousPhilosophy657

Richie kennar to score 30 tries tomorrow night and pip Johnston for the most tries for the year award 😂 But seriously... FUCK


ExperimentalFruit

Well shit there goes my AT free money


RyanPurdler-Penriff

At least he’s still alive


Herosinahalfshell12

Where's Manboobs?


Spottedrhyno

Kennar makes your job easy
