Panthers because they're due?
Or rabbits because they are still turning up. Admitedly they're turning up late, but they do eventually turn up for the game.

 

[kia ora storm]

Panthers by 14...

 

[Sleep]

Having just seen the Panthers line up, Souths by 80.

 

[stormbati]

Panthers will probably get an early lead and get run down going by these two sides recent games.

 

[benntash]

Still pissed that purtell is STILL in the team but at least he's been pushed out to the wing with Tighe now in the centres. Bunnys team looks stronger but still tipping my panthers. Hoping we finally step up this week and cement our spot in the finals.

 

[pantherz9103]

Hoping a home game on a Friday Night will see a turnaround in fortunes.

 

[Rovelli]

I'm crazy...but I think the Rabbitohs could win here. They're at the point of no return right about now after last week's loss. Penrith are hardly in top form and look to be sinking.

Though as a Warriors fan I would like to see Penrith knock out Souths, I dunno if they will.

Souths need to be on fire. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this is the strongest we've been in awhile in respect to injuries

 

[NGR]

No Coote = Souths win

 

[CMUX]

I really don’t know who to pick for this one. Panthers are in shocking form and I would pick them to miss the 8 but they have a very user friendly run home compared to the rest of the top 8… Panthers by 1

 

[Doomednow]

Don't have high hopes.

 

[Special K]

When will Coote be back?

 

[Sleep]

He has osteitis pubis and is listed as week to week but it wouldn't surprise me to see him miss the rest of the year. It's generally a niggling injury and the best cure is rest.

I think Alan Tongue and JT from Canberra both had bouts with this injury and missed huge chunks of their seasons.

Menzies missed three quarters of a season one year too right?

 

[pantherz9103]

Penrith need to awaken from their slumber. If they win then they kill off Souths and if Parra and Raiders lose then we're 100% guaranteed a place in the top 8 for the first time since 2004. We're generally better at home and if we're going to find form again its probably going to be at home. Souths have only won at CUA twice in the past 22 years. Coote and Grant being out is no excuse, Souths missing Taylor and Sutton is a bigger handicap.

 

[Bumble]

No Coote and Gordon is good for us but Penrith are still a dangerous side.

Our pack looks better than it has in the last couple of weeks and they'll need to stand up here...I think we can sneak a win.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Go bunnies!!
