The star halves showed they won’t take long to gel as Trent Robinson’s side produced a “perfect” 40 minutes against a fellow premiership contender at the SCG.
Whatever Trent Robinson said to his side between their shock round-one loss to Newcastle and Friday night’s 26-12 win against Manly worked a treat.
Des Hasler would take a place in the eight after their winless start to the season. Penrith were a class above in the season-opener, and the Sea Eagles weren’t on the same planet as the tricolours on Friday until it was far too late. Questions were asked about how long it would take star halves pairing Luke Keary and Sam Walker to play on the same page.James Tedesco had a quiet season-opener, and Connor Watson wasn’t at his best, either. The pair both had a try assist to their name by the half-time break.
In just the second minute Walker stepped Haumole Olakau’atu, palmed Sean Keppie, offloaded to Hutchison and gave the SCG members something to cheer.
