[Ulysseus]

Panthers ftw.

 

[Flapper]

I have this feeling the Raiders will take it down.

 

[Ulysseus]

Canberra = probably out of gas, Penrith win and get a week off, Penrith will probably just want it more.

 

[abpanther]

The Raiders are the team I wanted to play the least, they are in great form, big pack and some dangerous backs, it will be a very tough test.

This could be the match of the round IMO, should be plenty of points scored

 

[LatK7]

This is going to be very interesting. I'll tip Penrith to win by 6.

 

[Jason Maher]

Penrith 13+. Canberra played pretty poorly on Friday night, and if they produce anything like that performance again, they're cooked. Penrith seem to have rediscovered their mojo though.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

lol @ stain death riding

 

[StormisBrewing]

Besides the Titans at skilled, Penrith are the team I least want to face... Hopefully Coote is back, but Walsh isn't.

I expect the Raiders to play much better than last week, but this game will come right down the wire. Raiders by 1 in golden point.

 

[cleary89]

canberra are going to choke.

 

[Timmah]

A couple of corrections to the original info for people heading to the game, gates open at 3:15 with a Schoolboys semi taking place at 3:35 between Matraville and Hills. Dogs v Raiders Toyota semi is a 6:00pm kickoff.

 

[aussies1st]

Panthers haven't really played any top teams so hard to know where they are at. They will be tough to beat and pushed us very close at home. Hopefully we can play like we did against the Dragons.

 

[Pete Cash]

canberra are going to choke.

:lol: Penrith are the favourites you goose. Does anyone on this forum know what a choke actually is.

 

[Timbo]

canberra are going to choke.

Unlikely.

We don't wear red and white.

 

[adamkungl]

Can't see Raiders getting up, although I'd like them to.

 

[Pete Cash]

I just want us to give it a shake. I am really happy that we made it this far. An unbelievable last 9 weeks. Only loss to the cheating Storm.

 

[to_ddeath]

Should be a great clash. Even for a saints supporter, think I'll enjoy watching it.
Canberra by a whisker. Not all of us deathride.

T.

 

[Gaba]

raiders need majority of the ball to win , cant see the raiders lifting more then they have over the 7 week


panthers may get there on their home ground

 

[adamkungl]

previous encounters

round 1: Penrith 34 Canberra 16
round 22: Canberra 30 Penrith 26

 

[Paullyboy]

Penrith really are an average team, if we don't win I'll be very dissappointed.
