The Penrith Panthers have made the bold decision to axe young gun Blaize Talagi from the five-eighth jumper, and instead opting with Jack Cogger. Concern has surrounded Talagi's defence, which saw Eels forward Jack Williams slide past him for two tries last week. Former Panthers coach Phil Gould recognised that Talagi's defensive issues must be the concern for coach Cleary. “There are very few chinks in the Panthers' armour, but it's kind of one that has been exposed in the past. The Eels, the club Talagi made his NRL debut for, have been floated around as an option for Talagi if he chooses to test his worth on the market.
