The first weekend after Summer ends and the Rugby League season starts.
One extra team. Considerable player movement.
The question mark over continued success for Penrith is based on player loss and that history is against three premierships in a row.
But the depth of the current Penrith club is also fairly unprecedented.
And their best remaining players all have room for improvement.
These tips are somewhat unscientific – I don’t always pay attention to week by week selections, or who is out injured.
It’s more a general vibe sort of thing.
