Mitch Moses has doubled down on Parramatta coach Jason Ryles' warning that the speed of the NRL will lead to more players being injured by hip-drop tackles from tired defenders.
Days after the Eels lost a second player to a long-term injury from the illegal tackle, Moses maintained the speed of the game was to blame for the situation.
Scott Sorensen says this teammate must be picked for Origin
Premiership-winning Panthers forward Scott Sorensen is demanding Laurie Daley select unsung teammate and dummy half Mitch Kenny in the NSW Blues team this year.
The extraordinary call comes just days after 28-year-old Kenny was suspended for this Friday’s blockbuster against Melbourne following a hip-drop tackle on Eels fullback Isaiah Iongi last weekend.
Speaking with the Weekender prior to the Good Friday clash at CommBank Stadium, the experienced backrower said the Panthers are going to miss Kenny dearly against the Storm.
“To be honest, I’m actually really glad you asked about him,” Sorensen began.
“I feel like Mitch doesn’t get the praise that he deserves. He has been an absolute warrior for our side for so long. The way he is leading our team at training, the way he is leading our team on the park – he’s taken his game to the next level.”

Kenny accepts early plea
Penrith Panthers hooker Mitch Kenny has accepted an early guilty plea after being charged by the NRL Match Review Committee following Saturday night’s Round 4 clash against the Parramatta Eels at CommBank Stadium.
Kenny was hit with a grade two dangerous contact charge for an incident involving Eels fullback Isaiah Iongi in the second half of the match.
By taking the early plea, Kenny will serve a one-match suspension, ruling him out of this week's game against the Melbourne Storm.
