Player Watch Scott Pendlebury

[Pendles!]

kicking is starting to fail him a bit but geez he had a huge say on the game today i loved when two guys about 15 years younger than him couldnt mow him down lol wish he kicked a goal though would have been the icing on a decent-pretty good Pendles game

Pendles bursting away from Kako was one of the highlights of the day for me.

8 tackles at age 37 is taking the piss David Mundy was shot by comparison in 2022

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

assuming the legend goes around for another year i will save posters the time to prematurely write him off in 2026's opening game lol
"defensively Pendles has become a traffic cone and at 38 i think he might be cooked legend of the club, time to give some of the young boys a crack"

Or even the last 15 years.

Luke Ball and Alan Didak were younger than Jack Crisp is now when they retired.

"Retired" is an intersting choice of phrase. I'm not sure Didak wanted to leave and I for one thought he had much more in him.

in some remarkable form for a 37 year old still one of our best every week

I would argue not every week by his best standards. He seems often to plonk himself in the middle and directs play but maybe his would be opponent could be racking them up all over the ground.
