The Penrith Panthers have an accumulative score-line of 80-18 in their favour to start the Intrust Super Premiership NSW season, largely thanks to their new-look five eighth, Tyrone May. He’s only 20 years of age, and has spent the last few seasons in a successful Panthers under-20s outfit, steering his side to the 2015 premiership, and making the Holden Cup team of the year last season. Now, he’s stepped it up and is playing against men in the team that he loves, which hasn’t been at the detriment of May, who has scored a try in both games, and had a hand in a few more to start the season. “I’ve been training in the full-time squad, and it’s been a good experience,” May says to NSWRL.com.au. “It’s my first full-time pre season, and it’s the …show more content…
“Yeah Dessy [Nicholls] is a bit of an older head, I didn’t realise his age until mid-way through the pre season,” May says. “He’s been around the block a few times and he knows how to control the team. “I just work off him, and with the forwards going forward it makes our jobs easier as halves to direct the boys around.” The Panthers demolished the Wests Tigers 52-12 earlier today, in a performance where it would be unfair to single out a player. May is adamant the game was tougher than the scoreboard suggests, and despite the 40-point victory, was not satisfied with all aspects of the game. “Tigers came out with a strong team, it was tough the whole way through, and we scored three quick tries at the end and blew the score out,” May says. “We’re not too worried about the result, we’re focused on how we can perform better week in week out.” “We’re just trying to focus on our defence more than anything; we let in two soft tries at the start there and I don’t think the coach was too happy with

The first day we got there we had started off so wrong by arguing. We weren’t doing well and we argued most of the time. Us as a team, we honestly made ourselves look bad in front of the coordinators and other teams that were watching us. The coaches had given us a real big pep talking about sticking together as a team to make us better. Although we didn’t think we needed it, it actually
That night after practice my coach told me something I would never forget; he said, "Look, no matter what happens tomorrow at the game, you have been one of the best players I have ever coached and I want you to go out there tomorrow knowing you are going to win."
we made a mistake coach would stop us and make an example of whoever messed up.
The following series, 49ers defensive back, Rex Berry, picked-off a Lions’ Harry Gilmer pass, returning the errant throw 44 yards. Following the conversion, the 49ers were down by four, 24-20. The winning drive...behind the weatherproof arm of Tittle, the 49ers drove 57-yards behind the clutching hands of halfback, Hugh McElhenny and end, Billy Wilson, and the churning legs of Perry and Moegle, put the team in position to win the game with 1:50 left on the scoreboard
The coaches were feeling creative that day because they made us try all of these drills that the team has never done before. They were the kind of drills that did nothing to improve you at all, but the coaches thought differently. “This one will help you with your awareness of
As far as impressive feats go, Mounties achieving Minor Premiership status in the Intrust Super Premiership NSW, the Ron Massey Cup, and the Sydney Shield for the 2016 season is a truly remarkable club-wide effort. It is a testament to the players and staff, who work around the clock to ensure the supporters on their home turf - primarily Aubrey Keech Reserve – are on show to watch an entertaining yet successful brand of Rugby League that has worked for the Mount Pritchard club this season. Their affiliation with the Canberra Raiders has been a huge success for both parties, something that Mounties’ Sydney Shield player, Tere Glassie, has seen the benefit from. “The amalgamation with both ourselves and Canberra has worked better than it
The team was ready, we had been working extremely hard for the past seven months for this. We were all in great shape and very rested. A few of the returning players were meeting me at my house to carpool to the final game of the state championship tournament. Everyone knew that the hard work had paid off when we won the semi-final game the preceding day.
I write to offer my unconditional endorsement of Blakely Byrd as a Triple-Impact Competitor. I have known Blakely for 13 years and have served as her classmate, friend, and teammate on both our club and high school teams. If there is one thing I can say about Blakely, it is that she always embraces challenges. Whether it is being the first to accept the invitation to take a penalty kick or the last person to leave the field after practice, she never stops working and always does it with joy. My father nicknamed Blakely "Flash" because of her lightning speed and her self-confidence and determination to uplift and inspire everyone else around her. To me, Blakely epitomizes the concept of leading by example. No matter how tough our opponent is,

The facts that Andre and Jake were saying had a successful year was that, we won are games, the players we had on the teams, the workout we did, and the opponents we played. But I think we did better this year than we did last year. Because of the players we had on our team and because of how young they were and what they were capable of doing.
“What do ya mean I on the practice squad I’m better than all of these other fools trying to replace me?”
Game Time: we walked onto the field with our heads high and our pride shining. The strut in our walk should that we would not back down to anyone, or anything, there would be no opponent to large or any weather to ferocious to cause us to lose this game.
“My loyalty was to those people on that interview committee who hired me. But, being part-time is trying to take scraps into meals. You are trying to make things work, but it is more difficult to spend the time you need to be more successful. It was just a wonderful feeling when they rewarded me with a full-time position. There is so much that is positive about being here. There isn 't a better spot for me. I 'm planning on getting 279 wins, which would be the all-time wins record at Columbia. Right now, I 'm at 28. So I’m still a ways away, but that 's the
