Can't wait.

I think the Panthers in this one, too much class out wide, with Lyon and Matai missing I don't think Manly can hold their backline...

Penrith by 12

 

[Sleep]

Why would Matai be out? I know Lyon is gone but didn't hear anything else.

This should be a good forward battle either way. Petero should be back this week for the Panthers.

Penrith by a few

Hurt shoulder. Burns also back

 

[Doomednow]

Picked panthers but we are probably due for a loss. Will be at the game though with a manly supporter. Looking forward to it.

 

[Cletus]

It will be hard to contain Jennings if Matai and Lyon are both out. Hopefully T Williams is on the wing and not a centre. Penrith should probably win.

 

[Garts]

Penrith should win this one. No Lyon and possibly no Matai, Penrith by 16.

 

[effnic]

Should be a cracker of a game. Wish we had Lyon though

 

[clipser]

Penrith if they turn up

Sea Eagles by 4

 

[cupid]

The only thing in our favour is that the Panthers are due for a loss, and a few of our players are due for a better performance. Still I'm going with Panthers by 12.

Hard to go past Penrith at the moment. They have been a side that has the ability to 'put it all together', but for some reason haven't. They are the side with the longest playoff drought (2004) - every other side has made the finals at least once since then. Victory this week brings them closer and closer to that point.

Jamie Lyon is a big loss for Manly and though they bravely won without him against Souths, Penrith won't let this slip.

 

[zombie jesus]

Quite worried about Coote and others chasing through their kicks, our back three aren't great at defending kicks, Robertson and Farrar have been dropping them all year (at least Farrar is trying to catch them now though!), Williams catches fine if he bothers to get near the ball.

I hope Matai plays, not just to have him there but to keep Foran around the middle controlling things rather than pushed out to centre, Hodkinson has been showing he isn't up to taking control yet.

Glenn Stewart needs his hands on the ball a lot more on the edge. Watmough is due for a big game and Twinkletoes Rose will be better for the couple of runs he has had.

Tipping a high scoring game, not sure who to tip just yet.

 

[abpanther]

If Petero gets through his training session today unscathed, he will play...

 

[Eaglestar]

Go Eagles i think they can grind out a win like last week. Even without Lyon

I like your confidence, hopefully the Manly backs will slide well in defence as the Panthers have good pace outwide..I do think the Eagles have them in the forwards
..

 

[clipser]

We all saw how good manly played without lyon the other week.. i for one and scared for this weeks game
