[murraymob]

will be a tough one for us panthers .Just naming 17 fit players is the first challange.With luck the 4 injured from the weekend along with waterhouse,jennings,gordon are ready we are in with a chance

 

[VictorTheViking]

Panthers by a million even if they name their u20's side

 

[jpaciocco91]

Panthers 1-12

 

[pantherz9103]

Season is probably over for us if we lose this game. So we need Jennings and House to be fit.

 

[Knights_Premiers]

Panthers 13+

 

[raiders fan forever]

With Dugan out more than likely from what i hear

Panthers 13+

Will wait and see how our Origin players go, and whether any of our injured players are back this week. Hard to imagine a win though.

As long as they back up there's no reason why we can't win. The Raiders are shocking away from home and we're alot better at home this year.

 

[Timmah]

Origin players? Aren't you only missing Jennings?

 

[abpanther]

Origin players? Aren't you only missing Jennings?

and Waterhouse....

 

[mxlegend99]

Jenko and House are playing for NSW. These two alone will boost our defence and attack considerably.

Michael Gordon has been injured since pretty early in the season and is possibly returning this weekend. Would be a massive boost for the Panthers if he returns early and is moved into the centres. Would boost our defence and attack yet again.

We also picked up about 3 or 4 injuries last weekend, not sure how serious any of the injuries are. Wade Graham is probably the least likely to play as he was carrying a shoulder injury and whatever damage he done forced him to leave the field early.

Even if none of those blokes play, our side would be much stronger then it was last week with Jennings, Waterhouse and Gordon.

 

[mxlegend99]

If our 1-15 take the field, we're a great chance at a win here. The last two bench spots could be changed without impacting us too much:

1.Jarrod Sammut 2.Junior Tia-Kilifi 3.Michael Jennings 4.Brad Tighe 5.Michael Gordon 6.Wade Graham 7.Luke Walsh 8.Frank Puletua 9.Paul Aiton 10.Matthew Bell 11.Trent Waterhouse 12. Gavin Cooper 13.Nathan Smith (C)
Interchange: 14.Adam Woolnough 15. Tim Grant 16.Joseph Paulo 17.Maurice Blair 18.Geoff Daniela 19.Joel Romelo

Would go a long way to help our cause if TLL is unable to backup from Origin though. That bloke is a monster and i feel will be even harder to stop after making his Origin debut.

 

[mxlegend99]

Before someone comments... i don't mean for all 15 to be on the field at one BTW. We'd definitely win if that were the case.

 

[mongoose]

I think the raiders will bounce back after a shocking attacking performance last week. We usually go well at CUA.

 

[mxlegend99]

This game is as good as over. Waterhouse has copped a week suspension, and Michael Jennings is near certain to miss out with injury. We haven't come close to fielding a full strength side since we smashed the Roosters before Origin 1.

 

[pantherz9103]

With the players unlikely to back up its not looking good for us. Hopefully Canberra put a performance in like last week and we can win in a low scoring affair.

 

[mxlegend99]

Trent was found not guilty by the judiciary. Absolutely amazing that something went our way. That's a bit of a boost for us this week, but if we're any chance at all we need Michael Jennings on the field to score our points.

Even while limping he's more dangerous then any of our alternatives.

 

[pantherz9103]

Well with that news we're more of a chance and we're a chance because we're playing a Raiders team that are capable of playing badly. But then again on their day they can be brilliant too, just hope some things go our way for a change. Need the halves to step up and take the line on and kick better in general play than they have been.

 

[Sleep]

Graham's kicking game has been pretty good of late. I don't understand why they don't go to him more, especially when Walsh is struggling.

Elliott expects Jennings to play despite his hip and elbow niggles.
